Reviews are hugely dependent on goalposts, and that's what we were discussing, the early reviews. Your post I quoted was in a response to discussion about reviews. Reviews are the subject here.

So if they had promoted it as the newest iteration of the BF series, and not as "the definitive CoD killer", with the tagline "Go Above and Beyond the Call", set to Jay-Z's "99 Problems", then yes, absolutely, without a doubt, reviews of the single-player would've been a bit less harsh. Same game, but more favorable single player reviews. Because if we set the goalposts at "well, Battlefield has always been terrible at campaigns, and this is just another BF game," then your reaction to a boring, but not outright bad campaign is better than when you were promised a CoD killer.
