1. Because asking and complaining we may get improvements. (Like Vegas 2 complaints resulted in it being a relatively good game online in the end. With lag issues and heavy network usage being fixed)
2. Because Campaign is good it has some issues and the damage thing is stupid. You are right there.
Hi I've just completed the game and despite few negatives (squad AI blackouts etc.) I'm rather pleased about it overall; good graphics, good action and great history to increase the urge to play and find out what will happen next. However, I got to wonder about a thing after having seen the trailer, where large parts of a map is being completed while Antal and the executive producer explains about the game. In this video a feature about the rifle is presented. We're told that the rifle will not be "glued" to the soldier while swifting into different directions very fast. We see that the rifle is actually "delayed" compared to the soldier's movements. But when I played the game myself I realized that this unfortunately wasn't the case... the rifle is completely stuck to the soldier (like in the MOH series) and it doesn't swing out as you promised.
In my opionion, this is fooling the customer. It corresponds to a car salesman, who would tell the customer that the car has air bags, but when the customer crashes this particular car into a tree, it hasn't!

HIII IM A BING FAN OF BIA SERIES, WELL ONLY 2 THINGS TO SAY
COULD YOU FIX THE crosshair IT IS ALMOST IMPOSIBLE TO SEE WHEN FIRING FROM COVER.
COULD YOU FIX THE FIRING FROM BEHIND COVER,I REALLY WANNA USE MY IRON SIGHT INSTEAD OF THE CROSSHAIR.
AND GET COVER BEHIND OF AN OBJECT ITS ALMOST IMPOSIBLE, I WANT A SYSTEM COVER LIKE RAINBOW SIX OR GHOST RECON, THATS ALL PLEASEE TRY TO FIX IT PLEASEEEEEEEEE PLEASEEEEEEE I LOVE THAT GAME, BYE
this game is great!the only thing it lacks is a few different game modes! all the guns from the singleplayer would be choice! the online isn't no call of duty 4 as far as the graphics BUT THIS GAME IS MUCH MUCH MORE FUN.
The game is fantastic, was waiting for it for two years! ha the only thing is the lag online?! that drives me crazy?!! anyone know when the update is in to fix lagging?
Hummm i really hope that the game will be fix very soon. I hope that another MP mode will be avaible. Like the Mp of the two first BIA on xbox. If the update are not avaible soon, im sorry guy but i will sold the game because once the SP are over, this game are not replayable anymore... Sorry dude.

All being said = the online isn't no call of duty 4 as far as the graphics BUT THIS GAME IS MUCH MUCH MORE FUN
Im not finished yet so i cant honestly give a full review but i must say i love the single player so far but the multi-player really let me down. I loved bia on original xbox live because of the way you could gun as well as be strategic (skirmish mode was hot).now even though its capture the flag its really just a short elimination match that's not very fun. PLEASE patch this game!!!! You had 2 years!! There really shouldn't be aneed for one but you have to do something,single player AWESOME multi player SUX!!!
Fantastic single player, most impressed. BUT.. Having looked at the game details on xbox live, I convinced 3 of my friends to rush out and buy it as well as myself because we love CO-OP ? No CO-OP.. I am very angry and feel I have been mislead.. this is from the xbox live website..
Co-op skirmish mode: Team up with your friends online or in your living room and find out if you have what it takes to become fire-team leaders in historically accurate battles from across the Market Garden campaign.
I am upset as this was the main deciding factor for the purchase of the game.
I've played it now on veteran and authenthic and this is my opinnion about the game. This is no doubt a great game with great gameplay mechanics, and it sweaps the floor with other ww2 shooters, but there is few major flaw in it.
First thing is lousy AI. It just sits there waiting to get killed, and though they shoot good the don't make any counter attacks or moves, and that makes game way too easy. The challenge on authenthic comes from wrong things. It shouldn't come from takin away every piece of information and croshairs.
The second thing is dumb map architecture. You're fighting in urban enviroment and can't flank the enemy from houses or get any elevation on enemy...
Even though theese stubid flaws this is a best ww2 shooter, though to me it was a bit of an disappointment.
They confirmed no co-op like almost 6 months ago, but Parnic said (Parnic Works for gearbox) That there might be co-op in the patch, he didint say yes or no so dont get excited when u read.
What I would really like to see was some game with the German point of view, I'm definetly sure there was Germans who didn't want to be part of that war but had to... because of they're duty and also they didn't really start to loose until late 1944 to 1945 so that would have a lot to tell, I'm pretty sure there is more people that share the same idea, it would give some inovations in a WWII shooter for a change... as some people got a little bored to shoot Germans in every WWII game, I've been noticed already that... everybody wants to be in the German team during online games including me... I love the mauser K98 and the MG42. I'm pretty sure there was some Brothers in Arms in the German side as well... and it would be cool also to see those small European town & cities before they got blown up... just tought it would be a cool idea
Does anyone noticed how creepy was the hospital level, I think that was awesome, it was almost like a F.E.A.R or Conndemed kind thing and in a WWII shooter which made the game diferent some how and in a cool way... a really nice touch in my opinion very nice there
I'm glad you can turn off the kill cam. Nothing says authentic like time slowing down to a crack-shot reminding us how glorious war can be. Remember the first Brothers In Arms had the line 'war is hell' or something to that effect on the back?
And running around finding the three Killroys per level? A few randomly through the run of the game would have been a nice touch to compliment the authenticity being sought... You should be able to just draw them yourself. Let somebody else find it. What's next? Running around spray-painting "Grove Street" over any Nazi-Tags you find?
I do love, however, The German patrols not always on the lookout... The destructibility of certain elements, like light cover and elevated mg positions [when fired on by the bazooka team] as well as random limbs of fallen enemies... I like the surviving elements of 'first person actor' such as the looking down when vaulting cover.
Hi, finshed the games some days ago, really liked it. I would like it even more, if the maps had more ways were you could flank, cuz now in the maps its very obvious were you should flank when you look at the tactical map.Most of the times its only one way that you can flank. I want more ways around acces to bigger areas at the same time maybe would fix it.Or just give the player free hands to advance through a small villages. The player decides were he should enter the city and which street to walk.
I would also love a Co-op mode. That would be lovly!! Playing splitscreen you and your friend controlls a squad each. I would really like if they a co-op mode would turn up. Sorry for my english, now i need to contiune playing it on authentic.
I was highly disappointed with this game. 2 years of waiting and I don't understand what I was waiting for? I'm a huge fan of this series... I just expected more:
A. the tank levels were mindless... unlimited ammo, no squads to command while using the tank.
B. the graphics are just pathetic. I mean graw2 is almost 3 years old... and the graphics in that game are better than this game. What is up with the rendering and the glitchy lighting? Where is the anti-aliasing? I study 3D modeling and animation..i've graduated and i've applied to ubisoft and never had a call back... yet I keep seeing these games come out that sicken me. Someone needs to get fired so they can make room for an artist that actually cares about his work and ubisoft product. 2 years of waiting.. and the game seemed rushed? UBI... email me i can/will devote my time and my overtime to make your games worth 60 dollars and years of waiting! I mean I really think I can do a better texturing/modeling job than some of the guys you have right now. Give me a chance!Ubisoft is my FAVORITE game company.. and it makes me mad that people are part of the team that seem to not care anymore. shoot.. i'll intern....Just give me a shot at some team work.
C.multiplayer? where do I start: 1. not enough game modes. 2. graphics look like ps1 3. capture the flag with a tank? 4. no opposition tank to counter the other teams tank.
D. why does ubisoft keep implementing this health regeneration into their "tactical" games. At least give us an option to turn the wolverine healing factor off. REALLY ruins the game for me.
E. I did enjoy the game... being a big fan of the series I was excited for the fact of destructible cover, but when the maps are so linear the game really misses out.
F. the grenade throwing is just horrible in this game. getting your grenade aim on a target made no sense... i don't know how many times the ring would get stuck on a tree or wall rather than in to the enemies bunker.
G. i don't feel that the story progressed much from the last game.
H. i liked it when we had to hold our breath to take a shot. rather than my gun being perfectly steady.
I. the AI seemed really dumbed down.. the game seemed really dumbed down...
J. it was nice leading 3 squads at once, but it would have been better if we could have had 2 teams and a tank.. or any combination of the 2.
I have a lot of gripes, but that is only because I really want to keep the BIA series at the top of the charts. If ubisoft keeps pumping out these mediocre/dumbed down games.. they will lose a whole lot of their fanbase.
GRAW, RAINBOWSIX, and now BIA have all been dumbed down... at least keep options available for your die hard fans to continue to enjoy their gaming experience. I understand you have to aim to open the BIA series to a broader audience.. but dumbing down the series and not offering options really kills it.
Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed the game and I am glad to have a 3rd installment to add to my collection of ubisoft games.. I just thought it could have been better.
I am dead serious about giving me a shot about working on the team. I am working on my 3D portfolio as we speak so I can resubmit it!
They confirmed no co-op like almost 6 months ago, but Parnic said (Parnic Works for gearbox) That there might be co-op in the patch, he didint say yes or no so dont get excited when u read.
I agree it was partly our own fault, but being recreational gamers we do not keep ourselves up to date with information like that, my point merely was that xbox live was still showing that CO-OP was there and are still advertising that fact, and to part time gamers like myself, I rely on information from places like xbox live for making game purchase decisions. I am still a ubisoft fan having played graw 1&2 and RS 1&2 and look forward to the day CO-OP may be patched...
