I liked the tight corridor combat in the final stages of invasion of the titans. But I completely agree about 'nade spamming.

I hate this inclusion. It just shouts out like a desperate "hey, we're lots of fun!" addition.

Isn't that going to be Battlefront?

Even a 2143 add-on for BF4 would be awesome - no need to rebuild the engine (apart from the bugs).

2143

The average score on Metacritic is 61. That places it firmly in "above average" territory on a standard bell curve. I think anyone's opinion either way for that score is valid. If it was getting an average of 20 then this review might raise an eyebrow, but it hasn't.

Because you can only be game critic if you agree with every other game critic?

Unfortunately, you are wrong. Read the XBL ToS in full. They basically have it nailed down so that they can ban you for whatever reason they feel. Like it or not, that's what anyone on Live agrees to.

'Shoehorning' something that they've been touting since the launch of the console?

"Stabler"? o.O

I do cheekily install games on my work laptop, and they run pretty smoothly. BF3 runs at about 60fps on max settings and native 1920 x 1080, with occasional drops in FPS (at irregular moments, though, not necessarily heavy alpha moments).

Yeah, it is a bit less on the graphics front, actually. Not by a huge margin, though. Still, processor is there or thereabouts, has SSDs and 32GB RAM.

Admittedly it's workstation graphics, not gaming graphics.

Meh...my year-old work laptop is still more powerful.

I'm trolling the keyboard warriors who think they know more than the hardware architects.

I'm being entirely facetious.

DDR3? Based on everything I've read by the countless hardware experts on gaming forums, that fact alone makes this thing DOA.

Excel. Niiiiice :D
