Without the multi-player disc you will not be able to install the high definition graphics to your Xbox. Basically, you are stuck with a short, dull looking campaign with a lackluster storyline. This is not GameAccess' fault, even if the multi-player disc was included you would still be forced to pay 800MSP in order to play online. This is merely the result of Electronic Arts' greedy new business model that prevents gamers from renting or buying their games used. Purchase or Pass, in my opinion
you can only play tue campaign so its not that great since it is ment for online play. I feel like it would be lots of fun online if it is better than the campaign. I would say dont rent this game if want to play online and even if you want to try the campaign it is short and you will beat it quick. Butt the graphics are good and the audio is great. In my opinion just buy the game.
it was an experience in the fact that the graphics were awesome. but the campaign was too short and wasn't as entertaining as mw3. i found it really easy too play through and i always play at the hardest difficulty.
With the Modern Warfare series becoming ever reliant on shocks and twists to go along with their on rails gameplay it was refreshing to play a game that A.) Looks amazing, B.) Controls fludily, and C.) has an interesting story that isnt overally complicated yet pulls you in and makes you feel invested in the characters. As I rented it over this service I didnt get to play multiplayer so I cant comment on that but overall, easy choice between this and MW4 for me with battlefield the clear winner
Since the multiplayer disc is not included, and even if it was you still need the online code, I can only review the campaign. Overall, it is not my favourite campaign. In descending campaign greatness, I enjoyed COD:MW2, COD:Black Ops, Medal of Honour, BattleField 3, COD:MW1, COD:WaW. The best parts of BF3 involved a sniper rifle and a thermal scope. The worst parts involved quick-time based hand to hand combat.
i only played the campaign because you have to pay 800MSP to play multiplayer it has some fun as battlefield is way more realistic then COD and others most realistic fps i'd say but that dose not necessarily mean its great because sometimes you do not know what to do and have to wait for the AI teammates to do move also you are in a big city , big buildings you cant really blow them with rpg's and mounted machine guns like in battlefield bad company 2 if your bored and have nothing to do rent it
