What players say

69% of 5,444 reviews are positive · 65% of 64 in the last 30 days

Players praise the campaign and gunplay, though some find the story weak. The most common complaint is the EA app and browser-based launch process, which some say prevents the game from opening. Players also report sparsely populated multiplayer servers.
