Who'd rather climb up some rubble than jump off a story building? So yes, Battlefield 4 is surprisingly still a very fun game in Some bits feel old and the handful of map packs still locked behind a paywall feels incredibly outdated nowadays, but you'd be hard pressed to find a better modern-themed FPS that matches BF4's scale, action, and sights.
Realizing just how good it still is has made me more hopeful than ever for Battlefield , partly because it looks a lot like BF4, but also because of the major changes on the way. Guns are no longer defined by classes! There are operators with unique gadgets, including a dang grapple hook! You can customize your gun on the fly! Those all sound like they'd be fun if they were added to Battlefield 4 today, so I'm on board.

It's clear that Battlefield needed a lot more time, maybe another 6 months of polishing. COVID has impacted the way games are developed, and a lot of titles have been delayed as a result of the ongoing pandemic. I understand deadlines have to be met, and that game development is a business too, but releasing a title that's visually inferior to past entries, and suffers from noticeable performance issues, that are exasperated by its multiplayer nature, isn't acceptable.
Battlefield should've launched sometime in once all of these problems were ironed out. I don't think I'll ever understand how companies release games in this state and expect players to buy them. The game has tremendous potential, but it needs a lot of fixes. Look out for my colleague Pulasthi Ariyasinghe's review of the full game in the coming days. You'll have to buy the Gold or Ultimate editions to play immediately.
Battlefield officially launches on November You can also access a hour trial through both memberships. You will soon have more control over games installed from the Microsoft Store. You will soon have more control over games installed from the Microsoft Store by Usama Jawad While Microsoft has massively revamped its Microsoft Store in Windows 11 - and plans to bring it to Windows 10 eventually as well - and improved its openness in terms of the new types of apps it accepts, the storefront is arguably still quite restrictive in some aspects, such as offering full control over directories where apps are installed.
However, this may soon be set to change. According to The Verge, Microsoft is internally testing the possibility of giving users full control over directories where they install games. This would mean that users would have the rights to move games to any folders of their choice and potentially even mod them without restrictions. This freedom will reportedly be offered through an update for the Xbox app for PC.
Under the new model, players would be able to choose custom installation folders and drives, and back up games as well. In a statement to the outlet, Jason Beaumont, partner director of experiences at Xbox, confirmed the internal testing, stating that: It isn't clear when these new capabilities will be generally rolled out to gamers who utilize the Microsoft Store.
With Halo Infinite's release on the horizon, fans of the franchise would definitely welcome the improvements. The customization options would also make it comparable to apps like Steam which already offer a great degree of freedom in terms of folder management strategies. Call of Duty: Vanguard Xbox Series X campaign review — A bombastic but stereotypical story by Asher Madan Call of Duty: Vanguard is this year's entry in the popular first-person shooter franchise and it brings with it a number of modes, including a bombastic campaign filled with stunning set pieces and plenty of explosions.
Back in October , Call of Duty: Vanguard writers said that they wanted to create iconic heroes like Halo's Master Chief with this game. Did they succeed in doing so? Read on to find out. Story Call of Duty: Vanguard's story is an action blockbuster with somewhat stereotypical soldiers, but it also touches upon issues like discrimination and racism in the Allied countries.
The plot focuses on a mysterious, but fictional, Nazi plan called Project Phoenix. There's an overarching tale that homes in on taking down a despicable commander, but you also play through flashbacks that explain how the heroes of the story started working together, and their reasons for fighting. You'll get a chance to experience the game from different points of view, and hopefully learn more about the team.
The flashbacks give a glimpse as to who Call of Duty: Vanguard's playable heroes are, but they mostly focus on their leadership and fighting styles instead of giving us a deeper look into Arthur Kingsley, Polina Petrova, Lucas Riggs, and Wade Jackson.
In my opinion, Call of Duty: Vanguard doesn't spend enough time fleshing out these individuals. There are some truly horrifying moments in the campaign, but all of the heroes end up coming across as caricatures or stereotypes.
Their reactions to the deaths of fellow soldiers and even family members are unrealistic. Had developer Sledgehammer Games added a little more dialogue — maybe a monologue or two about how certain tragic events affected each character — it would've elevated the story.
For example, early in the campaign, a subordinate's head explodes due to a round from a sniper rifle.
The newly promoted Kingsley just stands there without saying a word or discussing this traumatic event later. Fast forward a few missions, Petrova witnesses the massacre of her entire city, but seems to move past this tragedy in the blink of an eye because the vaporized bodies are never mentioned again. On one hand, Call of Duty: Vanguard wants us to identify with the game's heroes, while on the other it doesn't explore their humanity. It's during moments like these that the story feels rushed and the characters unrealistic.
In my opinion, the game fails to do a good job of character building. Kingsley, Petrova, Riggs, and Jackson aren't distinctive enough from individuals in other military shooters out there. The voice acting is excellent, and you can't fault the title there. But when you're going out and trying to create new faces for a franchise, you have to have more heart.
Performance and visuals Call of Duty: Vanguard's campaign looks incredibly sharp on Xbox Series X despite the use of dynamic resolution scaling, and remains locked at 60 frames per second FPS for the most part. It also appears to render at 4K resolution most of the time.
However, every 10 minutes, I encountered random slowdowns for a couple of seconds where the frame rate dropped to around 15 FPS.
The performance issues don't appear to be related to any in-game event, like extreme weather, because they occur during hurricanes and starry nights, sometimes even when you're inside small buildings. There are even hiccups during the 30 FPS cutscenes, which are jarring to witness after 60 FPS gameplay in and of themselves.
Aside from the performance problems, Call of Duty: Vanguard suffers from a number of odd bugs in its campaign. While the majority of them revolve around weapons clipping through teammates or dead soldiers dying in strange positions similar to poisoned cockroaches, some of the most severe ones are related to the user interface.
So folks pumped about a return to that era of combat are jumping back into BF4 to relive the joy of using guns that have red dot sights and flying jets around. As mentioned earlier, Battlefield was finally revealed at E3 after numerous leaks and rumors.

I knew that that free copy was too good to be true.
