I gotta admit the assault class is the way to go - the guns are nicely balanced and sqad heals rack up the points.

Think about what you just typed in - The trick is in your quote.

:lol: Yeah, I figured it out last night. So it seems you can't kill somebody from the front no matter how many times you swipe at them?

The BF3 story is a convoluted mess. It's very similar to Black Ops. A guy is being interrogated and keeps flashing back to previous missions that involve various people. It's hard to connect to any characters because you're frequently switching from one person to the next and between different locations/timelines.

I really enjoyed Bad Company 1 & 2. But I think that was mostly because I liked the characters so much. Unlike MOH, COD: BO and BF3, the two Bad Company games were a straight-forward storyline with the same core group of characters. So it was easy to get attached to those guys. I'd love to play another round with Preston, Hags, Sweets and Sarge.

If you're playing a Battlefield game for the single player, then you're getting it for the wrong reason. The Franchise has always been about great multiplayer.

Thanks for that. I had heard a lot of great things about the MOH story but if it's as unmemorable as you say... Pass. Shame since I was tempted at it's current price of $20.

So then the BF3 and Black Ops single player campaigns are like the BLACK single player campaign? Well that's wholly uninteresting. I don't mind switching characters but the interrogation narrative was a horrible way to string the story together in BLACK.

I forgot to ask, TheBigDave, how's the Modern Warfare narrative? I ask because the latest ad I saw for MW3 made a big deal about the storyline.

Despite the flaws with MOH, I still had fun with the game. It's only 5 hours. There were some frustrating glitches (maybe those got patched). And the infinitely spawning enemies drive me nuts. But I ended up playing through twice, which I rarely do. So I'd recommend picking it up for $15-$20. It's not worth $60, but it's a good bargain bin game.

I never played BLACK. So I can't make the comparison. The missions in BF3 and Black Ops are connected by an ongoing interrogation scene. The interrogation is happening in current time, and game missions are the flashbacks to previous events. I thought they pulled it off better in Black Ops, which had more interesting missions and some memorable set-pieces.

I know a lot of people didn't like the story in MW2. I didn't have a problem with it. It's hard to discuss the storyline without spoiling some of the twists and turns.

But for me, the MW games have been about cool missions, awesome sets and solid gameplay mechanics. And the storyline has just been something that ties that together.

Well I wasn't looking for spoilers or even a plot summary. Just wanted to know if it was an engaging narrative that warrants being spread across three games.

I think the MW trilogy is kinda like Star Wars. The first one could stand on it's own as a complete storyline. The second one began stuff that will (probably) be finished in the third.

you just have to get in the habit of moving slowly. You can't run around as freely as in BC2. Especially in the 64 players matches. Someone is always watching. This game really rewards careful, slow, group movement.
