nope, there's no mention of the nasa in the game.

but it does take place on mars and concerns a small guerrilla resistance fighting an oppressive government for their planet's freedom. still, i don't get why they'd put that in the credits lol.

the first two games were shooters btw, guerrilla's more or less a typical open world game

it has physics per se but they're just part of the game, something you do in it. an effect, if you will.

They are not an effect. They affect gameplay. One can be lucky if he gets those physics in the next battlefields. An effect is something like shooting glass or small objects in Cod. It looks like stuff is going on but it doesn't affect the environment and it doesn't affect gameplay.

Lol this whole page.

I wouldn't expect the physics in BF4 to be the same as crysis (which had fantastic physics whenever it wasn't glitching out the ass). I just expect BF4 to have the same level as Bad Company 2.

In BC2 you could level every building except for the very few super important ones, but that didn't happen much. But then in BF3 only like half the shut could be broken at all, and even then it would leave the cram intact or whatever.

My friend and I racked up at least 90 hours in BC2 playing as engineers with RPGs and killing people with the destruction. So muh fun.

yes but you realize it's a shallow experience, right? full of effects and nothing of actual substance. you're just a silly casual-gamer.

If we wanted substance we'd go read a book together. But that would be mega-gay. Or just have sex. If you get what I mean. Substance.

nah books are shallow too because you don't get to choose and define your soul-experience. all effects and no substance, clearly.

but no really, speaking of Activision, Mists of Panderia is looking really nice so far (graphically).

considering this is what it looks like in vanilla content, it'll be fun to waste another 50-60 hours on the next expansion

maybe it's cause I'm in Cali, but I've never seen or really heard of what a jehovah's witness is, or what they do.

What I have said has nothing to do with whether effects are good or bad. I just mentioned the difference between physics and effects. It is only that in battlefield players expect destruction. Not every game needs destruction, like we all know.
