Battlefield 4 was a fun game back in 2013, though one loaded with tons of bugs that could potentially break the game (Not physically, although I'm sure there are a few who did on the first days of release) and when word of a new Battlefield coming out the following year, many people were reserved in their expectations after the fiasco. It seemed promising enough, swapping the battlefield for the streets as a police detective, but people feared of a similar situation as BF4, but with the beta response, EA luckily delayed the game a few months to March of 2015, but was that enough to restore confidence in the series, or did it hurt the bottom line? In a drastic departure from previous games, yes, you are a cop on the streets of Miami, who is double-crossed by your partner for a crime you didn't commit and have to clear your name. Yes, this is a big cliche, loaded with the characters and dialogues from various films and TV procedurals (even casting actors from said TV shows) but set in the Battlefield universe. The gameplay is the standard BF style (2 weapons only that are upgradeable, one grenade type, and one gadget type) which plays like any other game in the series but with one mechanic that is flawed. That flaw is the arresting system. In games like Metal Gear, you can play the game in complete stealth, and not fire a single bullet and it's legendary in it's stealth mechanics. Here though, the arrest mechanics (bundled with the stealth system) is a sloppy mess that doesn't work most of the time. Most of the time it doesn't even work so you have to kill the guy rather than subdue the perp and that will effect your score. Also sloppy is the lousy evidence system, where you open your scanner and scan for evidence. Sigh. At least the core experience of the shooting still is a blast and every weapon feels great to use. The graphics are really nice, especially on the newer consoles and PC (the game is also on PS3 and 360, and looking decent, they don't even compare) and the sound design is amazing. But the story mode is lame but how it's set up like a season of your "INSERT NAME HERE" cop show, even including the "Last time on _____" breaks, is amusing enough, but not enough for repeat playthrough. What is worth it, is the fun, and still very active, multiplayer. Heists, PvP modes, use of vehicles, and use of dedicated servers are a godsend and make this some excellent multiplayer fun to be had. Only drawback is the use of loot boxes and the (optional) DLC packs giving you instant 100% maxed out stats on everything. Pay-to-cheat is not fun; learning skills and strategy is. All in all, totally worth the $4.99 on sale, but $20 is a bit much and is recommended to wait for a sub-$10 price.
