The campaign of this game was truly a master piece, there will be nothing like it ever again. Not in this day and era of "battle royale" shooters and the massive flop of "2042". Truly, a Battlefield franchise fan's doomer moment. ☠
Bad company 1&2 (and 2 mobile) basically counter balance it with wackiness and a squad with soul. 4 just… kinda exists. Modern combat sits with 3 on its doomer theme (losing a campaign mission has the announcer berate you)
“Radiation is like life, a uniquely damaging event. Perhaps I will live another 30 years. Perhaps I will die tomorrow. ...I am telling my story here. The story of how Solomon used power-hungry men like Al-Bashir and Kaffarov to set fire to the world. And the American marine who, like me, chose the hardest path of all. But I have no regrets. I have always served Russia, trying to make a difference. Sometimes, I was forced to make difficult choices. Many lives have been saved-many have been lost. …I am certain Moscow does not view this in the same light as I do. But enough is enough. As Vladimir would say, you can only die once. Make sure it is worth it.”
Imagine how Dima must have felt after Paris... His Comrade Vladimir got killed in front of him in the most brutal way, no time to mourn. Than he couldn't prevent the detonation of the nuke and lost Kiril as well as thousands of civilians dead. He must be riddled with survivors guilt as he is irradiated, having a shorter life span. If there is ever a character that is going to be mentioned after someone claimed that Ellie from The Last of Us went through pain, it would be Dima definitely...
But Dima didn't die in an equally sad way. He died getting Irish, Hannah and Recker out of a horrible prison that surely would've tortured them to death. He died doing what he couldn't do all those years ago, and that was saving the lives of others
Vladimir was my first friend who died in front of my eyes, this game is more than just a game. When I was a kid ı was not that smart for the death but when I grow up it making so much sense; the music played in the back and a friend who dead at your hands is really so much for me when I was a kid. İt was makes me think about it like, “is death real?”
i like to imagine this being the song played if they ever did a promotional movie showcasing the aftermath of the Paris nuke with the clean up crew, law enforcement, news crew and survivors if there was any survivors
Dès fois je regrette un peu cette époque. Mon premier bf, je devais avoir 10 ans. Ironiquement le seul dans lequel j'ai retrouvé le même plaisir après c'était Bf Hardline, sur lequel tout le monde a degeulé, par conformisme ou par réel aversion, ou les deux je sais pas. Sinon j'ai l'impression que Dice n'a jamais su l'égaler et encore moins faire mieux
