I'll start out by saying, I got this game for half price. If they fix all of the major bugs I will probably bump this to a 5 star rating for the price I paid.
So the good: The game is a blast to play. I have mostly been play multiplayer and even though the numbers are limited to 24, the maps are still a lot of fun. There are a few maps where you start just a little too close to the front lines for my taste, but you don't have to go too far for action. I have been playing a lot of Rush and Conquest. Both types have been a lot of fund to play. I will say the vehicles are scares. I know this probably has a lot to do with the small map size that Xbox 360 gets, but may a few maps where we get some true vehicle warfare. The good part about the lack of vehicles is you get in lots of trigger time. The bad part is sometimes it feels unbalance. Especially when someone with some skills takes one over. That can turn the battle quickly. I haven't noticed much about he levelution but there are small events that change the battled a bit. The graphics are nice and they do show off the new engine, even on the old console. Also, I like the starting point on the vehicles. They gave most people the most important stuff, so you can hop in a vehicle, even long after launch and be competitive. I do with I could get my scopes back on my assault rifles, but that just because I'm not very good and cannot play more than a few hours here or there. They give you good starting weapons. Other than marksman and sniper rifles, everything else is mostly eye-candy.
And the bad: I really hate the change in controls by default. I am giving them a try but I'll probably go to "veteran" because I'm just use to them. When you get the game and you've played the old one, just go switch all the controls the veteran. Everything has some changes. Maybe I'll get use to them or maybe I'll just admit I'm old an hate change. Again, the lack of vehicles makes for fun battles, but also make some of the battles almost unfair.
And yes the UGLY: This game is buggy. Searching for servers or choosing quick server will not get you where you want. You'll do quick server Conquest and end up playing Rush. Or you'll search for Air Superiority maps and get everything else. So you'll start the game a little annoyed. But no biggie, you'll find that game. See there is an open spot or two. Select it.... and get an error saying "No Commander Spots". Well that's weird, I don't want to be commander (nor am I ranked high enough). Select down a few further... same message... a little further... and finally, you got in a server. So you start playing. Round goes by, you go 1 and 19. Sweet, I got that guy good! Next round starts and your buddy get in the helo! You jump in that gunner's seat and let them have it. You're flying around shooting at nothing (because you're terrible, like me) and you start seeing that hit indicator. Oh boy, this will be the round with 2 whole kills.... wait.... what.. huh? The screen is frozen. Second time today... com'on! So you turn off the Xbox 360, realize your a grown man with obligation and go do something else. Seem to be a current theme for this game. Either freezes or very normal booting from servers due to connection 'loss'. And these are all DICE servers.
So in conclusion: The game is fun, while it lasts. The battles are small but intense. Things are pretty well balanced and very nicely polished. But, and there is always a but, the game is NOT ready. I don't know if they even care about Xbox 360 with the new guys out, but still. Some of us are not ready to change systems. I'm glad I own this game. I will continue to play, but the freezes and disconnections need to become less frequent. I have extra fans to help keep my Xbox 360 cooler. They could not have tested this game and not found all of these bugs. I played less than 10 rounds today and got 2 complete freezes and 2 server boots. I'm glad I paid half price. I'll buy it on Xbox One when I get one. I would not pay full price for this game until more patches come out. I will update this review when I see things change.
Hope this helps you. Keep watching for Holiday deals! Maybe I'd be better at Assassin's Creed (Christmas hint!)
*Update*
They have gotten many of the bugs worked out over the last month. I have played for hours with no issues. I am adding a star to my review because I have had a blast playing this game. I don't think it's worth full price, yet, but I'd pay more than I currently have and I will buy it for Xbox One when I get one (as stated above). I did purchase premium because it will transfer to Xbox One.
