There was little or no story , and what was there in terms of plot was flimsy at best with little or nothing explained or fleshed out, a faceless bad guy etc etc
And then you have Pacwho comes back from the dead and just says I got unfukedby way of explanation. Oscar worthy stuff indeed.

there was a link somewhere on boards to a reddit post about the campaign, it was epic stuff.
just found it, apologies if its been posted before, but it really is brilliant.
ALSO - SPOILERS AHEAD
The single player campaign made me feel like A kid with a life-threatening disease (I like to imagine the disease being the reason why Recker never talks) whose Make-A-Wish wish was to go on a military mission.
This is especially evident in the first couple of missions. It feels like every time that you fire off a bullet, one of your circlejerkin' squad members has to holler out "AWESOME SHOOTIN' RECK. REAL GREAT JOB RIGHT THERE."
No one ever compliments anyone else, there's never a "Nice shot Irish!" or "Way to go, Pac!" This would also explain why your team lets you do all the cool tasks, such as opening doors. Could also explain why you're the squad leader, but you don't lead jack ****. In fact, through the entire campaign, I only remember one part where you actually gave your opinion on something. Irish asks you a question, all eyes are on you, you press the button... and your character just stares off at whatever. Seriously? Not even like a "uh-huh" sound? I imagine everyone else sharing glances before Irish is just like, "Uh... yeah. Thanks... Recker..."The characters are also pretty poorly done. Pac was the only character that I liked. Hannah was sort of annoying but okay by the end.
But Irish. God damn Irish. How the hell does someone like that make it so far up the military ladder? He ignored nearly every command he was given. The commander could be like, "Hey Irish, can you open that door over ther-" "AH HELL NAW MAN. THAT **** AIN'T RIGHT. WE CAN'T BE OPENIN' ALL SORTS OF DOORS AND ****."
Hannah and Irish's relationship was incredibly laughable. He doesn't trust her the entire game, but she offhandedly mentions that her life was hard and suddenly they're best friends. There was a noticeable shift whenever they started one of those conversations too. Like the mission where you're all driving in a jeep (I forget the name), you're all chatting about your mission or whatever, there's like a 2 second pause where you can almost feel Irish and Hannah just slowly looking toward each other, and suddenly "WHAT THE **** IS THIS CHINESE TRAITOR DOING HERE, RECK."
The strange part is that I actually really liked the campaign from a gameplay perspective. It was really fun and I loved the vehicle segments. But the story/characters were pretty damn awful. Are we really supposed to believe that THIS is the best squad in the marines right now? A mute person, a crazy jackass, some random Asian woman, and, worst of all, some poor, normal-seeming soul that has to put up with everyone else?
Anyways, thanks DICE for making my character's Make-A-Wish wish come true.
EDIT: How could I forget about my second favorite character, Dima? When he was introduced, he was easily the most interesting character. Shady Russian dude who survived a nuclear bomb, who was also in the last Battlefield? Sign me up. You're literally in a room with the guy for like 15 seconds before he's just like, "Well, time to bust the **** up out of here." and TEARS A HOLE IN THE NEAREST WALL. **** yeah dude.
I feel like there was so much they could have done with him. He could have come through with some valuable Russian intel or told something new about the Chinese, but instead he survives just long enough to die. Terrific.
EDIT 2: Added some more stuff that I remembered after posting this.0 -
