Fucking garbage. I got to a point where a helicopter blew up the elevator I was in, and then proceeded to die immediately because the helo blew me up. It automatically restarts me at the point the elevator blows up to be dumped onto the ground and killed a second later. After about 20 tries, I got halfway down the hallway by bunny hopping in the mysterious “correct” pattern and somehow getting past that asshole, Irish. He manages to get in your way most times and make sure you can’t run fast enough and die. After about 35 tries.. I just decided to complain here 😃 As I type it is on repeat elevator-blow-up-death-load like some kind of maniacal skipping record. Dice- your fucking game sucks. GTFO with this mouthbreather game. Next time, put all that silly wasted unflattering development bullshit to rest and stick to makig the multiplayer decent. Figure it out. Whatever. TL;DR- The campaign is embarrassingly dumb and makes the developers of the BF4 “campaign” look stupid as fuck. ---

I’m going to have to strongly disagree. I think they did wonderful with the Campaign this time around. I think the levels are designed well, along with nice ambiances and stunning graphics (PC here). The story in general was pretty neat, however vague, but did a nice job portraying the viewpoint of a single squad in the Marines. The few twists it did have surprised me well enough as well. Also, what BF4 lacks in AI difficulty, it makes up for in level and story design. Either way, I think it’s a great game 🙂 As for you dying all the time, maybe you’re just bad. I dunno you, but hey, I got through it no problem on Hard Mode. But hey, I hope you give it another shot, it really is a great game imo. ---

I thought at first- it ws going to be awesome. Then I got stuck in that loop of death.. and I might not be the tip top leaderboard, but I have played games since I was a wee brat on intellivision. And come to think of it, that is the last platform I played that had design decisions as bad as this “stellar” campaign. Checkpoint at end of scripted event moments from death… check! Place friendly A.I. in your way upon the splut second they give you control.. check! Make sure the enemy you are facing is for all intents and purposes immortal… check! You see where I am going here? Wtf.. are we going backwards in game design or what? ---

I feel like something must be wrong with your game because you are the only person I’ve heard about getting stuck in a spawn death loop there and every time I’ve played through the campaign I’ve never had an issue with the friendly AI getting in my way. ---

BF4’s campaign is crap and not very cohesive. If you want a good story, got back to BF3’s Campaign or even one of the Bad Company stories(so I’ve heard). BF3 got me right in the feels as a veteran. I just don’t understand what happened between 3 and 4. 4 feels way to disconnected. Edit: The continuous death thing is present across any FPS with auto-save. It happens as unintended by the developers. CoD has the same problem. ---

I played the campaign 3 times on hard and never died on that mission. Obviously you’ve got a major malfunction. ---

I think you just got really unlucky. I had no issues with my playthrough. ---

Well it sucks because I have to start from scratch. At the end of the day I guess it might not be the worst thing to do, btu let;s be real. This has just been the straw that broke my back about this. I’ll just stick to the multiplayer that is finally somewhat decent. ---

Ah- I never play COD. I never had that problem with any of the Far Crys. I am trying to think of an FPS where I actually played the campaign as I am mostly into the multiplayer aspects of FPS titles. 4 was all kinds of fucked up from the start.
