    While the single player campaign was drab and very much there only to appease the CoD crowd, the heart of Battlefield is alive and kicking! Multiplayer is beautiful and engaging with jets flying overhead and tanks rumbling past fighting over capture points and M-Coms. The unlock system is familiar and enticing always pushing you to play one more match to get that next weapon or add-on. TheWhile the single player campaign was drab and very much there only to appease the CoD crowd, the heart of Battlefield is alive and kicking! Multiplayer is beautiful and engaging with jets flying overhead and tanks rumbling past fighting over capture points and M-Coms. The unlock system is familiar and enticing always pushing you to play one more match to get that next weapon or add-on. The shooting mechanics are truly amazing realistic weapon handling and bullet physics make every engagement truly feel dangerous and rarely does a death feel cheap. Tanks handle like a dream heavy and cumbersome but with the ability to trade handling for speed at the press of a button it makes some pretty tactical options open up, stay and fight or pop a smoke screen and reverse full speed. Helicopters are perfect, subtle movements lead to victory but playing like it's an arcade game with see you nose diving into the earth. Jets are finicky but perform well, as of writing this they are pretty hard to get kills with early on and my only advice is try it out and if you aren't too hot stick with it it has a serious learning curve.

    Overall Battlefield 3 is an amazing game that SHOULD NOT BE MISSED if you're a shooter fan! Call of Duty fan boys will bash it and in all honesty as a CoD player myself (not a big fan, just a player) they shouldn't! Both games will be good (in there own ways) but for the ultimate skill based (not twitch based) gameplay experience you owe it to yourself to pick up BF3 and have a awesome time online!    … Expand

    However the experiencing is amazing. The 64 player battle maps are just incredible, and it feels so real. The way that each player is forced to follow some sort of tactics. You can flank, you can suppress, and there is a genuine fear of death. The result is genius. only thing i don't like now is that the lights are blinding, and some players are using this as a "hack".    … Expand

    Battlefield series is simply a delight. I've owned every single game in the series and can honestly say this series never disappoints.

However, I do have some grievances which brings my rating down to an 8. While infantry combat is a step up in the Battlefield series, that doesn't say very much, considering the hit registry for every battlefield game has been rather atrocious. BF3 is the first one to do it mildly better, but even still there are many issues. Up close infantry fighting, I often feel like the game utilizes hitscan registry, and I receive a kill message from the server before I see the death animation of the player. It's a very odd scenario. The map design is the biggest fault of this game. It feels linear and messy, not much thought process went into these maps. The destruction was scaled back, which leads me to believe that they rushed this one out the door and hoped to finish it up later. B2K already features advanced destruction compared to the vanilla BF3 maps, and is being released only a couple of weeks from now. This makes me think EA forced DICE to release the game early to steal some of the MW sales. Beyond that it's a fine game, the campaign is forgettable, but the graphics make it stand out.… Expand

The singleplayer is noticeably underwhelming, but BF games are multiplayer at heart. BF3 does push your pc, which is something that i like, as it's time to push forward and unlock what pcs can achieve and not take people with old hardware along with the ride, or gaming won't evolve. Possibly with patches, more destruction in maps and a few other tweaks, BF3 would be a true brutal force in the fps genre. I still like BF2 over BF3 however, but i'm happy with the vision dice were trying to put together. Time will make it a better game.… Expand

    The multiplayer is AAA+ quality. People may complain about Origin but it's mainly browser plugin issues or your own fault for 3rd party blocking software.
    ORIGIN has been up/running the entire time since launch asides from maintenance and there hasn't been any "day1" patch or anything of that sort - the game was released well polished.

    Multiplayer is fun fun fun....Get this game if you're a fan of FPS shooters. The tactical realism coped with it's own "Battlefield" quirkiness really makes the gameplay unique. If you're looking for something besides a typical military shooter - get Battlefield 3.    … Expand

    Honestly, I don't care what the single player looks and plays like. Playing the multiplayer is truly amazing. This game has such a unique atmosphere, game play, graphics, customization, that you will simply not feel at any other game. BF was always about multiplayer. And they out-done themselves this time. :)

    I think BF3 is a good addition to the Battlefield games. It has everything BFBC2 had plus new goodies, such as more vehicle and weapon customization. The 4 different soldier classes are well balanced and the Team Play is great and becomes even more important as one unlocks squad perks such as "more ammo" or "more explosives" for all the squad.

I also really like that engineers can now carry mines and an RPG, which wasn't possible in some previous BF games (I haven't played them all).

    Some people complain that the game now has a lot of "console features", which "suck" on PC. I think this features help people starting to play FPS games and the fact is that all those features, such as vehicle health regen, can be disabled on the server. Hardcore mode is great as there is no health regen, no map, no aim guide when shooting form the hip, etc.

    Pros:
    - Unlocks per weapon / vehicle.
    - 64 players.
    - Team play
    - Everything else.

    Cons:
    - Registration servers were down in EU on the night of release
    - Sometimes a bit laggy, but getting better.    … Expand

The multiplayer is by far the most fun I've ever had with an FPS. The level of detail is astounding - the scale, graphical marvels and stellar gameplay. Whether I am playing alone or with friends, this game has killed time like no other. I've owned the game since its release and have barely noticed the days of playtime that I've already put into it. If you aren't use to FPS controls, they take some getting used to, but the control-design of everything from your soldier, to both air and land vehicles, and even to the way projectiles are affected by gravity are all superb - fluent and intuitive. Minor bugs have popped up here and there, though this is almost always the case with newly released online games and luckily none remotely game breaking (some being nothing but amusing); they are being dealt with and fixed anyway. Recommended for experienced and new gamers alike, please give this one a chance. If you are in the least curious about online gaming, I beseech you to give this game a real chance and just see if you don't enjoy it.… Expand

    Dice never ceases to amaze me with their battlefield products and this is no exception. I've been playing battlefield games since 1942 was released and have always enjoyed that the development team actually DEVELOPS their game instead of using the same engine over and over with prettier lighting or slightly tweaking guns to reproduce ones used in previous games (HINT: Call of Duty).

I've been playing battlefield games since 1942 was released and have always enjoyed that the development team actually DEVELOPS their game instead of using the same engine over and over with prettier lighting or slightly tweaking guns to reproduce ones used in previous games (HINT: Call of Duty). Even though it has the Frostbite 2 engine, many of the buildings on urban based maps are static and inaccessible in anyway, but the ones that are, you can completely strip away the benefits of planting your four man squad in it and force your enemy to fight in the open instead of camping in a limited access area. I was still a little disappointed in the static environments though versus Bad Company 2 where you can make a completely new path by blowing out a hole in a building, running through it, and making another hole with your trusty grenade launcher in order to bypass tanks or dug in troops. There are still plenty of destructible buildings that you can drop on top of a not so bright enemy's head and many of the walls you use for cover and be chipped away with concentrated fire or a good ol' RPG. The infantry only maps are a lot more team based and bring back that tactical feeling from Battlefield 2 that Bad Company 2 left out with narrow choke points or large areas littered with lots of cover spots that a sneaky squad can navigate and snag a capture point right under the enemy's nose if you don't have a group watching over it. The vehicle combat is more or less the same as in Bad Company 2, but choppers are a helluva lot more powerful (even though they're still missile magnets) and the jets have more of a knife fighting, gun slinging, cut throat battlefield 1942 feeling instead of the "I got on your tail so you're automatically dead" combat from Battlefield 2. The open maps still give that sense of random happenings that you get from Battlefield games that just make it so much more enjoyable to play over the "run in and control this area to win" combat you see with most shooters today. I think Dice could've done better with the single player development though. There were parts that got your attention or made you feel like you were in that situation yourself, but the musical score is rather pathetic in variety and you can pretty much predict which tune will play at what time and in what situation after the first couple of levels. I'm not saying the solo campaign wasn't exciting, but they could've done much better on it. Overall, Battlefield 3 is worth every penny you spend on it even though the weapon unlocks is a little repetitive and the first release version is a little buggy with battlelog and it not liking running with certain programs (for me it's xfire, Battlefield 3 wont even start while I'm running it).… Expand

    It's campaign is boring, but it's okay for practicing the controls. Co-op is also okay, and you can unlock weapons for MP in co-op. Multiplayer is where it really shines.

    One downside is that it forces you to use Battlelog in PC; but it's not that big of a deal.

HOWEVER multiplayer tho is where you get what you paid for, its immense!!! I have played all the Call of Duty's (from the first ever one to black ops) and started playing Battlefield from Bad Company 2 and boy oh boy i wish i started playing the battlefield series earlier. There is so much to BF3 multiplayer, it looks great (even on low graphics), the maps are fantastic ranging from vast maps with jets and large scale warfare going all the way down to the very COD like team deathmatch mode on maps modified and made small for team deathmatch play. I have already mentioned the graphics, but the sound deserves a mention and for me no other game has ever got close to the quality that Battlefield has in terms of sound. You can hear bullet's whistling by, the scream of a jet above and the crackle of gun fire from the distance. Oh another random mention on the graphics (sorta), I love the fact that when you are playing on the night maps you get fantastic tracer fire that lights the battlefield up. So basically if you love multiplayer, just play this and you will be hooked for months!


    On a side note, I find it really sad that people who probably havent even played the game, let alone brought it give it scores of 1 and 0 etc. Really are that petty!!!!!!!!!!    … Expand

New game engine is wonderful. Game is hard what is good. I have to say only BF, (if it comes) is remake of 1942 to frostbite 2 engine. But this is best Bf for now. I recommend this.

The team working mechanics work great with squad leaders and Rush has been improved 10 fold. there are only 2 complaints that i have. one is that in conquest your team REALLY matters. if your team sucks you will most likely lose the game. un like rush one man cannot tern the tide of a battle. (which can be good and bad depending on if your playing with friends or not). the other down side that i find to this game is Origin and the use of battlelog. You must have an internet connection to ply this game be it SP or MP which is a big flaw. this is my reason for giving it a 9/10 instead of 10/10. final word is that this game is amazing. the MP alone is worth the $60. and the SP and CO-OP are really just free addons. but if your getting battlefield then your getting it for the MP and it is just down right intense, fun, and balanced.… Expand

The marines talk like real marines, it can make them like able but it would have been better to learn about them more. You play as Sgt. Blackburn, a marine in detention (you'll find out why later in the game) two men interrogate him throughout the campaign, you see the choices he and his squad makes, you'll see other solders like Lt. Hawkins, tank driver Miller, and Russian opratives trying to find their missing nukes, Oh yea, missing nukes, its not the best story but battlefield 3 does the story in a unique way making it better than some of the others.The voice acting, lip syncing, sound, and graphics are awesome! A technical marble! The presentation is amazing. The main miss from the campaign is that it feels like a different game, also its only 4-5 hours, meaning the campaign won't fully prepare you for multiplayer, you wont know how to fly jets, helicopters, jeeps, you only get to drive a tank. I mainly played the game for the multiplayer, I like the multiplayer but there are serious issues. Like the hit detection, its bad. Sometimes it will be good, others, well.... ex: you empty your clip into someone just for them to shoot you once and your dead, its annoying. The co op is fun but lacking since there are only six missions don't worry though their fun and one mission will let you practice flying a helicopter. Battlefield has always been about team work and BF3 has ok team work, I've noticed that on the PS3 and PC version people especially work as a team. This is a fun game but needs to be patched cause of bugs and hit detection. Still its an amazing experence and shouldn't be ignored if your an FPS fan.… Expand

Yes the game, and battlelog have bugs. That is standard on any game of this size, it's not ideal, but it doesn't make BF3 worse than any other game I've played in the last 5 years. Nothing ships perfectly anymore, so why expect it to? So far DICE have done a good job of addressing issues, so they don't bother me. For me the bottom line is this, I don't know of any other game that can provide the same experience BF3 can, the sound and visuals are fantastic, and the game play is a lot of fun. Huge maps, destructible environments, great vehicle combat. BF3 is the only game I know of that can provide all of those, so if that's what you're looking for, there is no competition.… Expand

The game follows closely with the rest of the BF series, with large expanded maps, vehicular warfare, and a reward system for squad based tactics. Every class is useful with each of their jobs and the game tries to promote a mix of classes to be a more successful squad when teamwork is being used, even in their "condensed" form. (example: assault and medic class combined into one). On the other hand, not having a Commander diminishes it's value because of certain tactics is now left out of the equation. No more are the artillery strikes, or the map scans, or even supply drops. Much of that is left with the squads and squad commanders, on a much smaller scale. That also leaves out another objective, by trying to go behind enemy lines and take the important commander buildings out. dice took that objective out and turned it into another game mode called rush. Graphicwise, it is one of the more intense sceneries to date. Tracer fire everywhere, with smoke pluming in the background, destructible environments all adds to the feel of a real life battlefield. Destructible environments alone adds to the tactical flare of the game. Can't go around a wall? C4 it and make your own door. Enemy camping in the building and you not having line of sight to the enemy? Tank with a couple of AP shells in that building will bring the building into rubble. I know there are alot of gripes about Origin, but to be honest, I see no major flaws in the system. The game loads lightning quick compared to BF2 or 2142. It will have a learning curve to use, since it is somewhat a new way to interface with the game. We could also say the same about Steam when it first was released. All in all, I find BF3 to be a refreshing departure to the CoD world of Ramboesque style, one man army gameplay, to a large scale full on 64 player war, where squad based team play reigns king.… Expand

    Simply an amazing mulitplayer FPS! Not many people buy this for the single player, so don't get your hopes up. The single play is still not nearly as bad as some will have you believe. Multiplayer is intense, amazing, and rewards skill. If you were raised on Teletubies under high-voltage power lines then I would go get MW3. BF3 is the best game I have ever played. There I said it.

    But everyone knows that Battlefield always was much of a multiplayer game than single, I was amazed by trailers, then I played the beta and I didn't like it very much... I gave the game a second chance, bought it, played multiplayer and it's just GORGEOUS. I can even say that this is the best multiplayer since CoD4 and absolutely one of the best multiplayers ever. The scale of warfare, the size of maps, tons of unlockables, customization, vehicles (jets are amazing, although not very effective against enemies on the ground), the realism, sound effects, weapon balance and those extremely beautiful graphics (even on consoles it looks amazing)... it's just a must have. I know that some people don't like gameplay like that but for BF fans it's just what everyone was expecting of a new Battlefield game. However, there are many issues that bother me: input lag (especially on Kharg Island and Tehran Highway), no private matches and hitboxes that sometimes act like broken are the biggest ones but I hope DICE will fix this soon. It's a massive game with outstanding multiplayer, even with its issues it's a masterpiece.

Add to that more realistic or at least great sounding weapons might not be realistic as I have never fired one but sure do sound good, vehicles you control not the AI and a genuine team play orientated scoring system and battlefield is more the thinking man's fps. All that said BF3 is as far away from being MW3 as MW3 is from being BF3 they are completely different games for team play and vehicles choose bf3 for Rambo style run and gun hands down mw3 wins.

Between spending endless hours on youtube and gaming websites, the flaming wars between Cod and bf fanboys caught my attention and it made me wonder what made battlefield so good to be compared toGrowing up playing the call of duty series, They had set a standard of what a war based game should be like. I cant really call myself a cod fan-boy but i am definitely a big fan of the series. Between spending endless hours on youtube and gaming websites, the flaming wars between Cod and bf fanboys caught my attention and it made me wonder what made battlefield so good to be compared to a giant like cod.
    Now,I have never played any of the previous battlefield games. I have played 5 minutes of the Bad Company 2 campaign on the PC and the Bad Company demo on the xbox 360. "pssht.. this sucks compared to cod" i said , and never looked back. Until now, Battlefield 3 Beta was doing its rounds when i got a first hand look at what battlefield multiplayer was like. I downloaded the beta and entered the game. Heavily overwhelmed by the sheer size of the maps and the game graphics i was like "oh cool". I ran a few steps and was immediately killed. *rage quit* . A day later i decided to give it another shot, promising myself i wouldn't rage quit. This time i moved around a little bit and very soon it came to my realisation that i was playing this game like i play cod. That was not working, It was difficult to spot enemies and i died before i could do anything else. I couldnt tell the difference between an enemy soldier and my own team-mates .Every kill felt like a reward, even though i ended up killing more of my own troops. I did not play again, till the game was released.
    As battlefield 3 released i did not give it much thought because i eagerly waited for the the release of modern warfare 3. On 10th of November i decided that i am going to buy one of the two. Battlefield 3? or modern warfare 3? Here in India , Modern Warfare 3 costs twice of what i paid for battlefield 3 so it kind of helped my decision .i took the leap of faith and I hesitantly bought battlefield 3 . I had bad experiences with this game in the past and i strongly felt it wasn't my kind of game. So before jumping into the multiplayer world i started the campaign. It didn't take me long to finish the game by the end of the campaign i was said to myself "ho-hum Great looking game but quite a weak directive on the story" . And here is where it all got better, I wasn't expecting a whole lot Indian players to be online but i knew i would get fairly decent pings on other asian servers, but i was surprised that every server hosted in India was full and the ping never rose above 30. I jumped into the multiplayer and found it surprisingly easy to spot enemies , use my guns, and overall move around the place.
    It became clear that the campaign for battlefield 3 is nothing but an extended tutorial to get used to the game. My brother and me were at the game for hours. The more we ranked and unlocked equipment the deeper into the game we got , everything that was wierd at first began to make sense and fianally i knew how it feels to play a battlefield game....'Awesome". The Graphics simply blew me away. I assembled a high end PC (complete with a GTX 580) and to be honest this is the best looking first person shooter i have ever seen.
    the audio and sfx blend in perfectly with the game. The Environment is beautiful and the fact that you can blow up just about anything you see in game is the icing.
    But, these are the not the factors that define a good game. Tons of games look and sound great but the key ingredient is the gameplay and Battlefield 3 has loads of it. The team-based gameplay is something new to me and i am thoroughly enjoying it. Watching buildings collapse, seeing your teammates running through the crossfire to revive team-mates or seeing an engineer hard at work at fixing the tank taking heavy fire from the opposition while helicopter and jets scream past overhead amidst the smoke caused by the falling debris really makes you feel like you are part of something big.
    Battlefield 3 has been made to take the crown of war based gameplay from call of duty. With the release of modern warfare 3 on its ageing engine and its tried and tested linear twitched based gameplay , Gamers will feel cheated and move on to a new avenue looking for and upgraded mature gameplay eventually migrating to the battlefield camp. Dice has managed to not only surpass but dominate as a better game be it visually or gameplay-wise.
    I give this game a 9/10 because dice has made a real winner i take away one point for its campaign which could have been a lot better.I predict this game to be the next counterstrike with a similar cult following.    … Expand

    I like immersion, and battlefield gives me that. The maps are very large and spacious, making you feel like you're part of a large-scale war. The gameplay feels good, I absolutely love the parkour-style moves that can be done over small objects - but it can be annoying when the animation plays and you're still on the same side of the wall... it doesn't always work that well.

The vehicles are a refreshing thing to have, not really my thing, but they work well.

    I think my favorite part of the game are the weapons themselves. Every weapon, all the way down to the pistols, feel very weighty and realistic - they are just fun to shoot. This mostly has to do with the sound design. The sound is incredible, you have never heard anything as realistic as this. Everything from shooting your gun, to the vehicles, to shots being fired in the distance, to explosions and falling debris... the sound will blow you away.

    At first, I thought limiting the consoles to 24 players instead of the PC's 64 was going to be a big deal. But, it's not, it still feels like a large battle. If you want a big, immersing, slower-paced, semi-realistic FPS, go for BF3.    … Expand

    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]
