Personally being the fanboy I probably am, im going to say that I actually did enjoy the single player, I will start with the negatives first though, now the game did display moments where you can get your ass kicked if you dont go prone and actually think about it, playing it on normal was kinda a headache when a single shotgun burst from a Terrorist/Russian/Private contractor would leave you to sit through a loading screen, it was linear, but these days what do you really expect from a first person shooter, the days of half life are over sadly, or at least untiol newell finished his endless box of choclates. those issues for me are the only ones that I can signal out that really gives the game crap, but there are also several grey areas, the Quick Time Events for instance, whilst many complained about them and said that they done belong in a Battlefield Game, I found my self actually liking them for one sole reason, that they eliminate cutscenes where you do absolutley nothing, the story is also another one of those Grey areas, it did feel Too much like call of duty, but there aren't many topics that the Modern Warfare FPS Genre can do any more, although it would have been cool if they replaced the The Iranians with hostile alien Drones, who wouldn't like that, especially when some parts of the game did feel like that god awful/awsome scuace (depending of how much of a Military Nerd/COD Fanboy/Gun Nut you are)movie Battle:LA, for those who could sit through and mentally comprehend the story line it was slightly amusing, and there were some shcoking moments like the level wehere you *spoiler* kill your CO, and there were also some memorable quotes, such as the good marine matkovich uttered about his lengthy dream about a vanilla milkshake,the pro's for me were the missions themselves, the brilliant environments, and Tank Combat that is better than most games that actually focus on tanks, the characters were forgettable save for your friendly vanilla dreaming marine, and times where the major assualts were going on really felt epic, and more scaled than any COD Game can provide, thats just my opinion but I dont think that the game really deserves all the crap it gets for its singleplayer, to be honest whether we like it or not Call of Duty MW3 will get a 10/10 on most gaming reviews, save for our good yachtzee and the un bias reviews of the escapist, so considering that BF3 was slightly more engaging for me in the SP department than COD, I think that its only fair that BF3 doesnt recieve ALL the shit its getting, for whatever they screwed up in the SP they made up for in the multiplayer
