    Battlefield 3 is the best Battlefield game so far. Graphics are still insane in 2023 and bf3 is still playable after 10 years.

    This game has one of the best single-player fps campaigns ever made. Every single mission is so fun and cinematic. My favourite has to be "Going Hunting" since it is so fun and I love how the music is implemented. The only mission I didn't like was "Operation Guillotine" since it was just standard boots on the ground but i understand why since it is integral to the game's story.

    What a bummer Dice could not capture the magnificence of Battlefield ever again after 3, 4 and 1 because this series was the ULTIMATE online war shooter experience of all time.

    Battlefield 3 had such incredible maps and gameplay and destruction and team play and I miss everything about it. I wish they would just remake BF3 so we could experience it all over again online, but sadly

    The game is very good...but in team play it lacks the level of the players and is unfair in it...but it is very good in the style of play and it is very realistic and this is a very good touch for the game

    A huge step up from the last entry, Battlefield 3 is a game that stays fun to play from beginning to end. The story isnt exactly new or mind blowing, but thats not what people play these games for.

    Um Otimo jogo, recomendo demais, ainda existem servidores online, apesar de fazer 11 anos de seu lançamento, porém acho que tem jogo melhores para se jogar online hoje em dia, mas não deixa de ser um bom jogo !

    Besides the general look of the game graphics, sounds, and whatnot. the game play falls short from the previous titles. played Bad company 2 for 500+ hours, BF3 for 700 hours, and this game for 80 hours and I'm already sick of it. Multiplayer is rage inducing experience nothing will works out the way you think it would. spawn camping seems easier on this one than other ones, and the maps… Expa

    a time worth respecting EA GAMES. if you place the BF 2042 next to this one, the 2042 becomes a game made by children learning to program games

    I played BF3 on the Xbox 360 through backwards compatibility. And the multiplayer servers are still alive, it’s it’s not many people play the co-op missions anymore. The campaign is pretty short but sweet! The multiplayer is the best part, it’s pretty hard to get into and new players will match with pros, but it’s actually really simple!

    Прошёл игру часов за 5. Крутой шутер от первого лица с кучей пушек, отличной стрельбой, отличной разрушаемостью, зрелищным экшеном и крутым сюжетом. Единственный минус - игра почему-то часто вылетала.

    O melhor battlefield já feito. Há servidores ativos até hoje, inovou em mecânicas, jogabilidade e é insuperável até hoje

    The single payer gameplay is good but the multiplayer was where this game truly stood out. Was graphically demanding for its time though and had some compatibility issues but nevertheless a really good game.

    This game is amazing, I don't really know how EA managed to make this game in 2011. The graphics still look amazing hell it even is very close to modern games. Campaign was pretty good and I had a lot of fun playing it overall a great experience!

    Attention: That's just my opinion!

    Battlefield 3 - War against terrorists. So I played single player and was very surprised by the details and realism of the game. The levels of the game are directly impressive with interesting missions and war details, the game has a very good realism about war and game details. I really enjoyed the game having a very structured communication
    Attention: That's just my opinion!

    Battlefield 3 - War against terrorists.

    So I played single player and was very surprised by the details and realism of the game. The levels of the game are directly impressive with interesting missions and war details, the game has a very good realism about war and game details. I really enjoyed the game having a very structured communication between the soldiers and the communication center, it was fun to listen to how they communicate, strategic words and characters, the game felt very realistic. The atmosphere of the game is directly impressive with cool details, in each level that atmosphere is very satisfying and cleverly done. The story of the game is very simple and interesting as America war against terrorists and their leaders, and you try to stop the terrorist attacks with your team. Voice - actors did an impressive job, I enjoyed it. The game itself has an amazing event with certain events, I don't want to say. The game has fantastic weapon mechanics, they feel as strong as real weapons. Personally, the game didn’t give that much time to get used to your team’s characters and others.

    As for the minus of the game, I played the game on Hard difficulty and noticed a few things that made me nervous that the hardness of the game is very poorly optimized as if the enemies have a very good aim 100%, and I died many times for example: enemy shoot me when I was hiding in spot where you can't shoot through the things as big rock. The game has quite bugs. Some cutscenes face acting look's kinda cringe. And the music in the game didn’t really involve me in the action, there wasn’t much of that music at all, sometimes xD.

    So the game is really impressive with a realistic war atmosphere and details, has a few downsides. I would rate this game 9/10. Multiplayer good too!

    Still remains the best Battlefield game to this day, DICE really nailed it when this one came out, neat campaign, great multiplayer and a ok-ish coop mode. Sadly after Battlefield 4 the franchise has gone down and down for the most part.

    Great experience, an intense game. Noteworthy that its graphics were considered great for the time.

    This is the last Battlefield game I had fun with. Newer titles aren't necessarily bad but I feel like this was the peak of the franchise.

    Best battlefield I've ever played, after BF3 it started to decay, until I got to this 2042 game that can't even be called a battlefield.

    This game had some minor issues early on, and I know it's an older game, but it is way better than all of the more recent titles. Definitely miss this game.

    It's all a matter of taste, after all. They each provide a certain type of entertainment – when talking about Battlefield 3, it involves a bigger game, more open in its possibilities and more spectacular. But on a longer timeline, less frantic and with fewer Bruce Willis scenes than the mass appeal beast it set itself to dethrone.

    No, Battlefield 3 is not the best game of today. But good looking – definitely. It also has an absolutely addictive multiplayer. Who needs more? [Dec 2011]

    Both a triumphant leap forward and a return to form for the Battlefield series. This is the best multiplayer shooter on PC. [Christmas 2011, p.58]
