Singleplayer Plot:
In 2020, six years after Battlefield 3, tensions between the United States and Russia are high.
Chinese Admiral Chang aims to overthrow China's government by falsely accusing the U. S. of assassinating Jin Jié, a peace advocate.
Success would align China with Russia, risking a full-scale war with the U. S. on the underdog side.
Negative Aspects:
Abundant, unalterable lens flares (from the Sun, headlights, fires, and nearly all light sources).
Sending a squad against a significantly superior force feels "arcadey," akin to games like Call of Duty or Battlefield. A notable exception exists for when Captain Roland Garrison when placed in an unwinnable situation uses his assets as guerrilla warfare, which I will not spoil here.
The protagonist, despite being the commander, remains completely silent.
Some of Irish's actions could lead to a court-martial.
Positive Aspects:
All characters (both main and secondary) are genuinely likable and experience significant character development throughout the game.
The interiors of the navy vessels are remarkably well-crafted.
The sign/countersign system offered by Molina regarding the High Schools in Brooklyn upon arrival at the Tashgar Observation Post is top-quality and realistically applied to ensure the identification of unknown personnel.
