I still think battlefields 3 campaign was so memorable mostly because it followed a call of duty format and Tom Clancy esque military thriller vibe especially the Paris assault when ur chasing the nuke which was one of my favourite sequencwa

[@Braindamagedpotato]

It was a better Tom Clancy campaign then most Tom Clancy games with a campaign

[@wintergamin13]

"i dont know why he was freaking out about the artillery shells when he was fine" oh i dont know Luke, maybe bcs he knew there was a massive chance that they'll get hit by the artillery

[@UrBoyGee]

Hardline was underrated in my opinion! Campaign and Multiplayer was dope

[@Freddabeast-lx6bd]

[@alicatdotcom]

I had so much fun on the beta!! But i didn't have a PC back then, and my 360 was outdated.. I would buy it today but player base is so low😢

[@3ofSpades]

Hardline was really fun. They should’ve maybe set it in the need for speed ip, but it was a fun spinoff that made me want an open world cops and robbers FPS for years. Rockay City is about as close as anyone’s got. Beggars can’t be choosers I guess.

[@8ball279]

Rewriting history. Multiplayer was completely broken in BF4 and Hardline until the Huge patch 6 months into both.

[@3ofSpades]

@8ball279 Didn’t know 3 random people on the internet enjoying a video game was rewriting history. The more you know.

[@inductivegrunt94]

Battlefield really had some amazing campaigns, even BF5 had an amazing story with The Last Tiger. Bad Company 1 and 2 had the best campaigns though, carried by the amazing characters we play with. Hopefully the next Battlefield game gives us a good story/war stories.

[@PunishedSpindle300]

Why is this Luke guy who talked about BF3, 1 and 5 such a gigantic retård. "I don't know why he was freaking out about having artillery shells fired right on his position guys"

[@PteCONeal]

the dude plays like a IGN journalist

[@michaelgallacher4800]

Yehh I was thinking the same. Same with the "it takes 4 anti tank grenades to kill a jug" yehh because the game was teaching you about bayonet charging. Clearly didn't read the screen then complains about basic stuff. Also "I can't figure out flying I just kept crashing" the controls pretty much fly themselfs. You can't even put on the veteran harder controls. He plays like a middle aged dude who's just into games because it's cool.

[@ACE1918]

Greetings, this is a nice video though I believe I can and should add a few additional points. For those curious I am indeed the person who made the Codename Eagle footage as well as a member of the Battlefield 1918 Mod Team. For a start Battlefield Vietnam and Battlefield 1942 both had single-player bot support and not only that but supported full 64 player bot matches in comparison to the 16 player matches that were officially supported by both Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142. Also Battlefield 1942 did technically have a campaign mode though it was just playing the regular maps in chronological order. Battlefield 2 was not the only game in the franchise which saw a mod team involved in the development as the team behind the Eve Of Destruction mod helped work on Battlefield Vietnam. Outside of that some of the Battlefield 1918 team went on to made Verdun and its sequels. Additionally the guys who made Desert Combat also went on after Battlefield 2 and made Homefront. For Battlefield 2 the team behind the Project Reality mod would end up developing Squad. The mod teams behind both Eve Of Destruction and FinnWars would also end up making further standalone games as well. It's also worth noting that several of the biggest mods for Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield 2 are still being actively developed. Battlefield 1918 just saw the 20th Anniversary patch drop a few months ago, Forgotten Hope Secret Weapon got a few new updates as well as a expansion mod a few months ago, Forgotten Hope 2 is getting a bunch of early World War II stuff in the 2.64 upcoming patch, and Project Reality is getting a World War II Eastern Front Expansion.

[@alexcativo7958]

I wish I was born in time to experience battlefield mods like yours :,)

[@Noimcuban]

39:50. That’s not true. There are several levels made just for the coop campaign with areas not seen before. And there’s actual objectives like providing sniper cover for a French swat team in Paris. You just played the first level lol…..

[@TheOgfredo905]

tbh hardlines campaign was verrry underrated and deserves a sequel

[@jessiedehart3462]

No it doesn’t

[@LunaPPK]

nah

[@Steven_Carlson]

Not over bad company 3 it doesn't

[@silversteel8998]

The whole game was a mess crashed constantly I even played it on the series X and still crashes dident a different company make that one to would explain it

[@SlabbyMess]

I can remember the hardline campaign so well for some reason I got into

[@treebear352]

Nah i cant let you disrespect BF3 coop like that its not even wave based there mini missions with objectives the second mission you fly a apache helicopter another your in a convoy my favorite one is one man is a sniper covering the other player across a river

[@lastHERO22]

fr i was thinking the same thing the missions got better and better

[@dairyking6514]

Hardline still has a small player base on xbox, not many servers but man is it fun

[@alicatdotcom]

I would buy it on PC if there was still an active player base!! I only played the beta and had so much fun! Kinda bummed I missed out on it.

[@BabyKobeeee]

Yup, just cuz it’s on gamepass but sadly it’s just a few lobbies of mostly pub stompers and clans

[@G.Freeman92]

We need more co-op campaigns. I really wanted 2042 to have a campaign….

[@TheNoobyNoob1]

BF3 is timeless for me. That opening sniper set piece is so simple but the dialogue, sound, and utter atmosphere always freaking sucks me in. Graphically it does still look good, but they NAILED the immersion. The voice acting was top notch too.

[@DonnyKirkMusic]

Ahhh I remember playing the Bad Company 2 campaign and being blown away by the graphics lol! I remember it also being a bit hard, the bots actually had OK AI.

[@Idontgiveafinnuck]

You should talk about the SOCOM games i think alot of ppl forgot about it

[@alicatdotcom]

I think I had Socom 2 on PS2. My main memory from it is finding an outhouse on a snowy mission and blowing it up! I remember struggling with the aiming and controls 😅

[@Idontgiveafinnuck]

@@alicatdotcom we're old lmao. I remember there was an enemy named fat cat and I think u were in a desert.

[@justbethinking]

just finished playing BF4’s campaign and i gotta say the team AI is _literally_ useless. they don’t do damage _at_ _all_

[@bycoxtax8562]

That's because YOU have to play the game, they are just suppressive fire to keep the enemies busy while you move

[@justbethinking]

@@bycoxtax8562 they might asw just fart on the enemy, it might actually do something and suppress a wider area at the same time. what’s the point of having friendly AI if they can’t even hurt the enemy AI, could’ve been a drone with a taser following the MC the entire time and it wouldn’t make a difference. the suppressive fire mechanic is cool, but it’d be even cooler if friendlies actually helped in a firefight without me telling them to. i didn’t really feel a connection with any of the characters either, was kinda hoping _i_ could’ve blew up the ship so i could leave irish’s whining ass behind, just WAH WAH WAH with that dude huh. can’t forget about the wannabe reznov, he was cool. BF4 was pretty good, but it could’ve been so much better

[@3ofSpades]

The bad company games had better stories, but battlefield 1, 3, and hardline were my favorites. The acting and sound work was exceptional, and hardline made me want an open world cops and robbers fps game for years. Rockay City was probably the closest to what I wanted. Hardline was a fun game, but they really should’ve put it in the need for speed universe instead of battlefield. BF3 was also a fun game with a good coop mode and probably the first game that I can remember having really great graphics. Although I kinda think bf3 should’ve just had offline multiplayer with bots and 10 more coop levels. The campaigns in battlefield are pretty fun. But no one really talks about them.

[@EggedAegis]

1:22:25 the reason the guy freaked out is the decision to send the pigeon was calling in heavy artillery on their position, “If im going down, I’m taking you with me” kind of thing. But they’re giant shells being hurled from miles away, by pure luck they didn’t take a direct hit and managed to survive. They basically committed suicide and were saved by luck

[@spyrocks8915]

In the prison escape mission in bf4 it make sense that enemies are pushing you from behind sense it is a prison

[@TomahawkDan]

Bf3 was peak gaming on my opinion

[@Matt-md5yt]

sad that they stopped doing Campaigns

[@Amifai]

They didn’t, BF 2025 will have campaign it was said that a team will work behind that

[@weirdogiant6886]

I got to be real with you, I DESPISED BF4's campaign and I still do. It wasn't the glitches that did it for me, but the writing. It just felt all over the place. Hannah, Irish, and Pac felt like a bunch of little kids and I never saw them as complex; Korvic was just a douchebag and I almost snickered at how the game wanted me to feel sympathy for his death, and the pacing in the character narrative felt too fast and like hot garbage. At the end of it, all I could say was "THANK GOD THAT'S OVER."

[@I3iGl3OY]

Ya'll deserve to be one of the most viral pages on KZbin. Your videos are amazing!

[@Turk3yFilms]

I remember how goated BF2MC was when it came out

[@Vinny2142]

The battlefield 2 and 2142 footage mixed in there got me all nostalgic for the simpler days haha - thanks!

Bad Company 2, my first multiplayer experience

[@isaiahzmurray173]

Back with the longer videos this is what I’m talking about‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Exponaut_R-01]

I liked Battlefield's campaigns Some of them weren't perfect but they were always at the least cinematic. I would have more fond memories of BF4's campaign if I didn't get that underwater bug where you can't swim forward when you swim throughout that ship...

[@RunehearthCL]

is your footage of bf3 from console? I forgot how bad it looked compared to pc

[@alicatdotcom]

I got the map packs on console and then switched to PC and was like DAMN! More players too

[@mrunitforge]

yea they played the 360 version

[@MyNameIsGhost]

Was really hoping you'd hit the powerful notes on total eclipse of the heart 😂😂

[@themanlett2351]

I didnt have access to internet up until 2017 and these games story modes were what I had to play. Wish they still put the effort into campaigns

[@Felixda1st]

I feel like the BC2 and BF3 campaigns deserved more love from the community

[@federicosimion8923]

Bad company 2 was my first fps, I played it a lot and even platinumed it, I hope to see bad company 3 soon

[@Lokiawa]

Oh wow. You guys actually sang 'Eclipse of the Heart'? That's funny and cool.

[@bradenfredrick2720]

I liked in games that they had missions that had civilians and had to make the decision to shoot a civ "accidentally" or not or when your like is that a solder or a civ? I like when there is pure chaos but you still have to pay attention to who is civ or solder enemie or friendly etc etc

[@jaretrobert7158]

I need a battlefield with a quality 4 player co-op campaign

[@memerman3697]

You guys sem like you'd fit in as a ign reviewer

[@kadamine]

Havent seen anyone talk about BF2 modern combat, very first one i played as a kid on the xbox, that an halo CE

[@jack988_3]

i liked Battlefield 4's campaign, but i loved Battlefield Hardline's so much more, i love how it's built around the idea of it being a TV series, everytime you leave during a mission there's a cinematic "next up, on Hardline", same thing when resume playing the game, story is decent, gameplay is good (arresting is op btw), and i also enjoyed the multiplayer, it was something fresh and different compared to battlefield 4, and i think that was most people's problem with the game

[@Vladiator]

All Luke did was recap the story, say how much he didn’t care and sucked, and then say it was good. Sheesh.

[@PunishedSpindle300]

I was listening to this and was kinda astonished about how much of an idiot he is. He doesn't really seem to be fit for analysing media and doesn't seem to understand any subtext whatsoever. "Why was that guy freaking out about having artillery fired right on top of him?" "was this guy lying or not? I cant tell haha"

[@Vladiator]

Yeah, and I wanna be clear and say I probably only like 2 out of every single BF campaign that exists (BC1 and BF1). But there’s still some things to respect in all of them and because of that, Elijah should’ve reviewed them all.

[@D_ucky]

@@Vladiator Fr the only thing he did was recap (poorly) and complain about things he didn't like. BF1 wasn't just widely regarded for its MP but also its campaign so if cant take the 4 hours or so of camping gameplay serious enough to respect a fan favorite campaign then don't review it.

[@metronome8471]

Storm of Steel is the best opening ever.

[@nomercyinc6783]

Multiplayer only games fucking suck

[@parkerburrus289]

Yeah why can't a fully priced game have multiplayer and single player even co-op

[@probower4726]

Unless it's a good pub game. Arguably, Squad is amazing here. But that's a niche genre appealing to only a few

[@michaelguernsey1206]

Where is bad company 3!!!!!

[@LunaPPK]

I played battlefield 2 modern combat tbh the hot swap thing was alright to you figure out it was mostly there for the bad AI and half the bullshit they put you in in the last few missions of the game you could easily end up in a death loop in some of the last missions of the game i can't remember which one it was one for when you played as nato in the later ones you could easily fail because if you don't micro manage your hot swaping well and take out the enemy choppers or force your way to a certain location it would end up being your dumb AI getting killed over and over in a loop while spawning in

[@codyhaskins5855]

All of the battlefield 1942s and og battlefield 2 on xbox 360 are the 🐐s in my book

[@cjware316]

Shout out to "Secret Weapons over Normandy"

[@lordfist111]

I'm going to be 100% honest here, the only campaigns for Battlefield that I really enjoyed and was memorable were Battlefield Bad Company 1 and 2, Battlefield 3, and Battlefield Hardline. And I really wish we would get another Bad Company game especially since Bad Company 2 ended on a cliffhanger.

[@TheMock5000]

BF3 was my first battlefield. I really fucking loved it, and i preferred it over Bad Company 2 when i bought that after. Bf4 was a let down when i played the campaign. The MP also didn't work well since it kept kicking 1 person from my group as someone rejoined. Even if it worked i still like the bf3 mp maps better. Simply has better maps and a better campaign.

[@BabyKobeeee]

[@Raiden_Helios]

The hell happened in hardline😂 thought it was supposed to be a war game nah we playing cops and robbers😂😂😂

[@WabbaJackel_54]

I started Battlefield with Bad Company 2 on the PS3, then Battlefield 3 then 4 and Hardline, then 1 and I kind of lost interest after that I played some Battlefield 5 not much and I played the 2042 beta and haven't really touched it since. I still go back and play through the campaigns on PC, but there is just a hard disconnect from EVERYTHING before Hardline and everything after.

[@cylerner]

Loved Bad Company's story. I hated BF4's campaign for one reason and one reason only. SOMETIMES THE USELESS FRIENDLY AI WOULD PUSH YOU OUT OF COVER TO USE IT FOR THEMSELVES.

[@freshlobbies9630]

Bad company 2?

[@TheSwiftFX]

[@jumpinfool]

Bad co 1 and 2 campaigns all time best in my opinion. The story was fun, the characters and their story is hilarious. Bad co 1 and 2 trailblazer with the unsricpted destruction, people still clamor for today.

[@RealComp5]

BF1942 had single player via bots, just like BF2. BF2042 has single player as well via bots.

[@ardent9422]

I did enjoy Hardline's gameplay, but the story truly was lackluster. Hardline should be spun off into it's own series and make it a cops vs robbers theme through the campaign and multiplayer, there's so many different types of police ideas that they can do using cop shows as inspiration.

[@EhtizanVideoEditor007]

Hi Rocket Sloth, what's up? Just watched your video and I must say it's really informative and helpful. I was thinking if I could help you make thumbnails for improved CTR and better views? Let me know, I can offer one for free.

[@AlejoConejo-vb8ln]

Of course the world forgot! They didnt have iconic characters like Price, Soap, Ghost, Makarov. Or iconic moments like knifing a watermelon, nuclear explosion, no russian, world war 3. Battlefield had nothing memorable. The only thing I remember of BF1 campaign was a tank getting stuck in the mud and the opening sequence which was really good. Everything else who knows where it went.

[@bruhtholemew]

[@TheAwesomeFossum]

Battlefield has always had insanely good campaigns. Until battlefield 1 & 5 ish. Too short of experiences tbh. 2042 was a scam. Cause it was gonna be a SEQUEL to bf4 campaign. But somehow Irish dying IRL days before release somehow made them cancel? Like did they even have the game done? In retrospect. No. Not at all. Moral of the story. Don’t fucking die obviously.

[@inovade]

BF3 is the best imho, i just hate the "main villain", he scream too much and looks very dumb. especially the graphic for it's time and it's still looks good. i'm not a next gen graphic guy, but this game is very memorable because of graphic BF4 is ok, because of irish, if only he's not a loudmouth. idc much of the character when he's a loudmouth, major negative for me BFH is, weird... looking at them using a real person face sets off uncanny valley imho. pretty good campaign though BF1/5 is kinda short

[@Conpne03]

[@michiganjack1337]

The only reason to play the campaign (and co-op missions) in BF3 and BF4 were to unlock the weapons, everything else was just a distraction. I'm a huge Hardline fan, and I never touched that campaign, same goes for BF1 or BFV campaigns. Single player is not the reason what people wanted from the series. It was EA chasing that COD dragon, and chasing something Battlefield wasn't is what ultimately lead to it's downfall. 2042 is just their attempt to chase the Hero Shooter trend. Oh yeah Bad Company...yeah the first game had a decent campaign, and when the sequel came out it was never even touched. Then that weird port of BF2 360 port, eck.

[@bruhtholemew]

BF2: Modern Combat isn't actually a port of BF2 at all. It was a completely original BF game for console, but suits changed the name to BF2 thinking it'd sell more.

[@comiccomrade]

Am i the only one who feels like the parts on bf1 and bf5 are geniunely disrespectful, the commentary and script is so awful, saying "wowzers" while talking about ww1 and ww2? He's treating two world wars like they're just game lore and not important events in the real world. It's also so obvious that zero research was done for any of the bf1 and bf5 sections.

[@bruhtholemew]

I really didn't like any of the campaigns. I'd call them serviceable at best, but they always felt like a response to Call of Duty. I was positive towards 2042 lacking a campaign, but having bots. Early Battlefields (1942, 1943, Vietnam, 2142, BF2) lacked traditional campaigns, so I saw zero issue and figured the budget would be diverted to multiplayer. So much for that.

People need to stop pretending the Battlefield campaigns were good? They were never good and Battlefield itself was never about telling a shitty story, it was about the multiplayer first and foremost. Future Battlefield games should continue ignoring singleplayer and focus more on adding multiplayer content while also charging less.

[@bruhtholemew]

Unfortunately 2042 has shown that the resources and budget for campaign will just vanish instead of get directed to multiplayer. But yeah, people don't buy these games for SP, and that's why 2042 wasn't immediately hated when they announced it was MP only.

[@hx20games77]

Of course your just another hater thats why we never got a campaign for 2042 but then agian 2042 was a bad game to begin with
