Nov 10, 2011Very good game, however it's currently riddled with bugs, and the initial activation on launch day was a nightmare. Hopefully the bugs are sorted in a patch soon, but other than that the game is very good.
-
Oct 27, 2012It has its flaws. I don't like EAs ethics, DLCs, and the single player is pretty bad, but ultimately I have over 200 hours of playtime and I keep going back to the game. It's fun to play, fairly well balanced, and it is updated far more than any other battlefield was. You're missing out if you're not giving it a try, especially when you can get it now for a fairly cheap price.
-
Nov 13, 2011The game promotes team play, something a similar game seems to stear away from. The single player is really with I'm only giving it an 8, it's there but it short and sweet. The multiplayer is really what this game was made for, and unfortunetly it's noticeable in the single player campaign. The MP has unlocks and "kits" that help you keep playing with goals and customization

Apr 11, 2012Love it, put nearly 200 hours into this game now, its not perfect, and I really wish DICE had put commander mode in again, but its still a great fun game to play with friends.
-
Nov 12, 2011First off I want to state I didn't buy this game for the single player and from what I read you shouldn't. However, multiplayer is far from lackluster. Amazing graphics and sounds. A game that stresses team work and strategy rather than the same old CoD run and gunning it has turned into with MW3. This game puts you in a real battlefield and you leave wanting more.
-
Nov 12, 2011Awesome graphic ans sound! Beautifull landscape, large game arena, great effects shows that the developers have done a great job! But there are some bugs which I think will fix soon
-
Nov 12, 2011Best graphics, lot weapons and geadgets. 64 player on PC , BIG maps .....An outstanding teamwork based with tanks, jeeps, jets and helicopters. Single player campaign is great with stunning visuals and intense action in the air land and tank. A definite buy in my books.

Nov 13, 2011Insanely better than Call of Duty 3. The requirement of aim alone makes it a mile ahead of the competition. Full marks. Really excellent graphics, well optimised for PC.

Nov 13, 2011Great game with some issues that hopefully will be fixed soon! Its worth the money, not like MW3 crap. Multiplayer 9/10, Singleplayer i´ll never play it! Buy it!
-
Nov 13, 2011I like so much this game, both Sp as Mp is fantastic. Realistic weapons and best graphics.
Portuguese Brazil: Eu gosto muito deste jogo, tanto SP como o Mp é fantástico. Armas realistas e ótimos gráficos. -

Nov 14, 2011The best graphics you need. Includes a good campaign and nice multiplayer experience. Needing to start this game through your internet browser is the only downside besides that there are no killstreaks which I would have loved, but since you can see a tank or plane as a killstreak it's no problem. LOVE IT

Nov 14, 2011an outstanding teamwork based battlefield simulation, complete with tanks, jeeps, jets and helicopters. Single player campaign is great with stunning visuals and intense action in the air land and tank. A definite buy in my books.

Nov 14, 2011Intense Multiplayer gameplay accompanied by dazzling graphics that are guaranteed to make you drool all over your controller or keyboard. Finally a game that surpasses every single expectation. the gaming monopoly of Call Of Duty had been knocked completely out of the competition.
-
Nov 14, 2011Single-player was bad but who buys BF3 for the single-player? Excellent online play and stat tracking, few bugs here and there but patching is keeping up with what we are finding. MW3 doesn't even compare to the feel of BF3 when your running past a tank as a A-10 flys down onto you strafing it as it blows up next to you!
-
Nov 14, 2011Great multiplayer. Fantastic(but short) cooperative. and medium singleplayer campaign. Amazing graphics. and a perfect audio. Great work DICE, waiting for BF4 or Bad Company 3
-
Nov 14, 2011Game is not perfect but it's not disappointment either unlike Modern warfare 3 this game has potential. I recommend you all to try this game even if you are new. It will take time to get a grip in Multiplayer but you won't regret it.

Nov 14, 2011This game is so nicely made, looks good, feels good, i don't even care about the bugs it started with, hope the patch comes really soon.

Nov 15, 2011The game looks and plays great. There are some issues, but there seems to be with any of the releases these day. They'll get addressed after a patch cycle or two. The game feels like a return to the days of 1942 and BF2. I've not had any desire to play the single player so I'll not even reference. Battlefield started out as a multi-player franchise, they should just let it stand at that.

Oct 13, 2012Amazing game, and endless multiplayer fun. If you are buying for the single player though, definitely pass. The CoD series would be a better choice for single player options. Multiplayer though, this is where it's at.

Apr 24, 2012I think, Battlefield 3 is the best game in the style of action. At least for me. EA Games have shown that they are able and know how to create high-quality games

Mar 26, 2012Nice pure graphics with amazing gameplay, what else do you want ? it is the best shooter i ever played and if you are a fan of action shooters you have to play this game
-
Apr 3, 2012this is a fantastic game for the pc. the graphics are awesome and the multiplayer will get you hooked for months and even years to come. blowing jeeps across caspian border will never end. singleplayer is not that good however, and i just think of it as a tutorial on multiplayer.

Apr 10, 2012Great game, beautiful, new, and one that cares about its buyers(so far). Unbelievable game...been playing it for about 5 hours now and it's wonderful. The multiplayer is bigger and better than all the previous BF games. The shooting mechanics are top notch and the map design exquisite. Pick the game up!
-
Apr 22, 2012The singleplayer campaign was horrifying! but at least the multiplayer shows some promise. The game is very polished but lacking developer attention after release. Battlefield 3 was laggy and sometimes unplayable due to frequent amount of crashing. But in the end, they patched most of the troubles and it's worth every penny! 9/10 -the-epikninja
-
Apr 21, 2012Great game, plenty of weapons, and patches and fixes are being developed, I really enjoyed when vehicles start to beep, this games is like bf2 but even more real! big thanks ti JICE and EA!
-
Nov 21, 2014This game was a 9.5/10, but that was is 2013. Only get this game if you want to play Conquest on the stock maps, there are hardly any servers actually running this game.

Apr 10, 2013Melhor FPS/Simulador de guerra atualmente, não tem nem como comparar com MW3, primeiramente porque estão em categorias diferentes e segundo porque o motor grafico usado no BF3 surpreendente, já no MW3 o mesmo usado no MW2 sem novidades...
-
Apr 26, 2013I love this game, its great. but I have to admit the Single-Player was really boring. So Im gonna give the score to the multiplayer, the graphics are great, the gameplay is balanced, I would recommend this game only on PC, since the 64 players servers, not much problems with the game itself. 10/10 no questions asked.

May 9, 2013Battlefield 3 has a bad Singleplayer with endless Quick Time Events.
But the Multiplayer is good und the Premium Maps too.
The Graphics and Sounds are very nice.
Buy it, if you want to play the Mutliplayer, but not for the campaign -

May 18, 2013the game is just amazing easily the best multiplayer i have played... EVER while the campaign is lackluster it has its perks like an easy way to admire the beautiful graphics that is the frostbite 2 seriously how does DICE do this overral this is a brilliant easily a contender to be one of my best games.
-
May 19, 2013Definitely a must-have game,multiplayer is the most fun experience I have ever seen,visually stunning and gameplay is so good.Only bad side is it's singleplayer,but whatever battlefield is a multiplayer based game and dice did a very good job on it.

Dec 24, 2020Gameplay: 9, Graphics: 9. Story: 6. This game sucks over 100 hours from me. When i've first play it i was so impress by the amazing gun play and jaw dropping graphics. The gun play are so addicting because the the weapon were so fun to play with combine with the graphics and animations that blew me away despite being a 2011 game, but the story is... it just so bad

Jun 22, 2016Best Battlefield after BF2, sadly they pushed out too much Battlefields and the community split up and now almost noone plays this Game anymore. It was really good. Hopefully they learn out of this Game and stop **** up like bf4 and hardline.
-
May 26, 2016This game is life, get it, I'm buying it a second time, this game is my baby. My girlfriend of 2 years said "me or your stupid battlefield game". extremely easy answer, "get out my house bitcch"
-
Aug 14, 2016Really fun game with lots of variants. Although the rush mode isn't as fun as Battlefield Bad Company 2. It improves on almost all aspects that BFBC2 was flawed in.

May 15, 2017The best FPS of my life.
Wonderful maps, realistic guns and sound effects, infinite fun and last but not least the GRAPHICS
Omg Battlefield 3 graphic is amazing for a 2011 game!
Buy it and you won't regret it.... NEVER!
and **** you battlefield 1, **** game where everyone can make a good k/d ratio and the maps are awful. -

wszech czasów na PC!!! Gra warta wydanej każdej złotówki w tamtych czasach :) -
Jan 31, 2018Wow this game looks **** awesome. Even in 2018. I still can't handle it. Story was cool but the Multiplayer is the core of this game, which is cool as well but there should be more Infantry-Maps like Operation Metro.
-
Aug 8, 2018I only played the single player campaign but the game was good as far as I recall.

Aug 7, 2018Years after its release, Battlefield 3 is still a very impressive shooter, both visually and gameplay-wise.

Die Kampagne ist in Ordnung. Grafik super. Gameplay top.
Mehrspieler Review:
Der beste Multiplayer den ich je gespielt hat. Bis jetzt ist da kein Spiel rangekommen. -
Sep 27, 2019Beautiful graphics, interesting game-play, but a faceless plot at the level of a regular American action movie.
-
Feb 23, 2019An interesting plot, interesting multiplayer, all this awaits you in BF3. An interesting implementation of the plot. Very cool multiplayer with a large variety of locations, with good destructible and with a large number of weapons. I put 9 because there are minor flaws
-
Feb 9, 2021Second best installment in my opinion, just after BC2. I have spent a lot of hours, especially playing TDM on Canals :P

Jun 22, 2020Best game ever made.Best campaign, best multiplayer, best coop ever made (not considering that we're talking about a game that came out in 2011 ). Return to the glorious old days EA please :(
-
Jul 2, 2020Battlefield 3 remains my most played multiplayer game. It wasn't a perfect game by means and too often DICE broke just as much as they fixed with their patches. The game introduced some new maps that went on to be classics and had great gun and vehicle play.
-
Jul 14, 2020What a game.... This and bad company 2 are my favorite battlefield games.
I don't play campaign, only online and battlefield 3 have the best maps, 24 player that are enough for having fun, the weapons feel good and gameplay even more. Please give us good games.. -
Jul 21, 2020The best Battlefield game in the franchise. With better game mechanics and gun design. It would be unbeatable.
-
Jul 30, 2020playing it in 2020 and still worth playing more than many new games........
-
Aug 25, 2020Great game, still playable in 2020 because of the great graphics. Great story.

Mar 7, 2012It'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.
-
LEVEL (Czech Republic)Jan 20, 2012No, 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]

PC PowerPlayDec 4, 2011Both 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]
