    An 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

    Really liked most of the maps, graphics were good for it's time, shooting mechanics are satisfying. Fun game, but grenade spam can be really annoying, suffers from infamous lens flares and blue color grade, and suppression is extremely annoying.

    Been playing since launch, absolutely love it. Even reformated my hard drive so my outdated laptop could run it & it still looks amazing. & yep im a BF3 all the way, i used to be all about Modern Warfare, but once MW2 turned out to be less entertaining than minesweeper, tried Bad Company. & i was completely mind boggled with the fact why ive been playing MW at all.

    Buy this for the multiplayer - it is, by far, the best multiplayer experience out there.

    BF3 improves a lot on BF2, but you will have to learn your skills again as the game is quite different.

    Netcode and hit detection is excellent (at least for me) just be sure to play on low ping servers

The crack of a sniper rifle, the rattle of machine gun fire across the map, and the distinctive sound of a helicopter flying overhead, all of it is just great and immerses you in this war experience that Battlefield is trying to deliver. And while the multiplayer is pretty much perfect, the campaign is very bland. Dice really, sorely needs to get their act together in developing single player experiences, because they've always misfired when they attempt one. Aside from that, Battlefield 3 is an excellent game that anyone who enjoys multiplayer should play.… Expand

    No tiene mucho misterio. Es otro shooter bélico moderno del montón. Con una trama de las mas flojas de todas pero algunos episodios medianamente bien construidos. Entretenido para un par de tardes pero sin que nadie espere nada que sorprenda por su calidad.

    The optimization is fantastic and graphics are supreme for its days!

    In all my time playing this game, if I could say one thing, it'd be this.

    Let's say you're watching a hallway, a corridor, or a door. You've been watching it for a very long time, and NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING has happened, at all. No enemies ran past, no explosions, no "thrown" shots, etc. I cannot emphasize enough how much nothing is in this case. So, nothing has happened.

No enemies ran past, no explosions, no "thrown" shots, etc. I cannot emphasize enough how much nothing is in this case. So, nothing has happened. There are doors and hallways beside you, so you decide to check your corner. Left/right. You briefly, and I mean briefly, look to your left. Like a quarter to half a second. You glance left and then back towards the hallway you've been watching for a really long time. BOOM!!!!!!!!! There are as many as 1-32 enemies RIGHT THERE in that hallway.

    The hallway you've been watching since the beginning of the time. Since the beginning of the big bag, whereas nothing has happened.

    Moral of the story? If you look away for just a split second, someone will come around and catch you off guard. Well, not off guard, but just when you interrupt your million year stare for a half second out of necessity of carefulness.

    This is my cumulative review of this game.

    Aside from jets flying through mountains, snipers in close quarters, upside down helicopters still grounded, and enemies still hitting you even after you've broken line of sight with them, good game.

    Unlike most FPS players, I have the strange habit of not paying much attention to multiplayer, but just playing the single player campaign. And therefore my review is mainly about it.

And therefore my review is mainly about it.

    Battlefield 3 is very well received and very well baked product (mostly), and the campaign is (as expected) not breathtakingly good, but is actually above decent and passes many others I've tried withing the COD-BF-MOH-and alikes-family.

    Best feature in the game which is worth mentioning first is the graphics, which are truly amazing and actually ARE breathtaking, even on low graphics setting which I had to play with (which would lead me to an issue with BF3 later on). I really enjoyed wandering the various battlefields throughout the levels of the game, watching the very fine details and environment.

    Story is alright, nothing too good, nothing too bad, it surrounds various characters which is cool and is an excuse for trying to vary your same old banal FPS gameplay with some (rather weak) aircraft mission, and also some tank driving and stealth missions (which, on the contrary, I greatly enjoyed).

    You'll find that the campaign always tries to be cinematic, and it is, I personally enjoyed these efforts but I believe that it also comes at expense of the gameplay, when at many occasions throughout the game you'll just find yourself simply running around, following your squad-mates and witnessing some dramatic pre-scripted explosions or other noisydamaging events.

    Again, I actually liked the cinematic feeling, but am not sure the hardcore players would find it very enjoyable.

    Multiplayer seems good enough, if it only was my thing.. But it isn't. Anyway it's very active until this very day and there are many servers to join, beware that you'd usually need PunkBuster to play multiplayer and that can currently be a nightmare on Windows 10 (from my experience).

    And now for the (not very minor) complaints about the game which made me drop the grade to 6:
    First and worst, some issue with sound stuttering caused on dual core processors. After researching around I figured out the issue is not so uncommon, and the only solution is to let BF3 use ONLY ONE processor unit. WHAT THE HELL, EA? That terribly reduced the game performance and made me drop the graphics to the lowest settings possible, or else the game wouldn't be playable at all for me.
    Rather Annoying.

    Second, which I guess is quiet common among FPS, but I'll still indicate it. The maps gives you the illusion of very large areas, and as I already mentioned, the magnificent graphics of BF3 just made me want to explore the maps some more than what the scripted events of the campaign let me.
    Alas, there's nothing to explore, whenever you find the time to do so (and at many times you won't) you'd find that the maps are actually not as big as you may feel, and when there are some corners to turn and some untaken roads to venture, they are very empty and insignificant.
    I guess that explorations is really not the main attraction in such game as BF3, but I think it could be great with such amazing graphics to add some collectibles and let the players do some searching around, if he wishes to.

    One last thing, the difficulty seemed unbalanced at times, as on NORMAL difficulty, I've faced some sections which felt insanely difficult. At least for me.
    Don't get me wrong, I do like challenges. But I picked NORMAL for a reason, I still want the game to flow, and not replaying the same portion for over 15 times of dying over and over.

    I guess that BF3 deserves more than a 6, but based on these experience, this magnificent looking game which I'll probably never ever play again would have to do with a 6.    … Expand

So if you want all out of the game, you have to pay the price of two games. You might wanna consider that before you buy Battlefield 4. Nevertheless, the game is a multiplayer oriented because the story line is **** and short in the campaign. Why did I give this game 9 out of 10 points ? Because when you pay all the additional prices the game is really good. A lot of equipment, guns, vehicles, 4 different classes and big a variety of maps.… Expand

The goal of the CIA agents are to find out the possible whereabouts of a potential nuke, and you play most of the story in flashbacks. The story expands to feature multiple settings, including: Iran, Iraq, Paris, the Azerbaijani border, and New York City. I'll give credit to the unique settings, solid voice acting, and the small amount of tension that stems from the conflict in this story; but this story was BORING. Blackburn, despite talking in the cutscenes, is mute during gameplay, none of the characters are like-able and show little interesting personality, and the story is told out-of-order, making for some confusing moments in the story. In the end, no one plays Battlefield for the story, and for good reason. 4/10

    Gameplay: Gunfights during the campaign are pretty solid due to how the guns feel when you use them. They have recoil and feel realistic. This makes firefights a little more interesting than what they could have been. I'm disappointed though by the lack of destruction in the campaign, plus you don't get to use some of the cool gadgets that much, besides in scripted sequences. The AI is pretty standard affair, but I HATE how if you get to close to them, they panic-knife and instantly kill you. In some of the CQB sections of the game, this can lead to frustration instantly. So all-in-all, the gameplay is nothing memorable. 5/10

    Graphics: Where this game shines is in its graphics department. This game came out in 2011, and it still holds up against some of the recent game releases. The campaign cutscenes look nice, the lighting and textures are all fully-realized and look great, and the destruction effects are cool. My only complaints are that some of the character movements and models don't look impressive, the vehicle collisions could be better, and the blue tint detracts from the quality of the visuals. But outside of that, the visuals are great. 8/10

    Sound: Another high for BF3 are its high-quality sound designs. Every aspect in this game, from gun sounds to vehicle sounds, have excellent sound design. Simply great. 9/10

    Multiplayer: The main part of this review is definitely the MP, and it delivers. To start off, unlike BC2, you only get 4 infantry classes, each with their own exclusive set of weapons. They are: Assault--using assault rifles and healing and reviving teammates on the battlefield; Engineer--repairs friendly vehicles and attacks enemy ones while using carbines; Support--keeps the team going with ammunition while being aggressive to the enemy team with light-machine guns, C4s, and mortars (screw those things!); and Recon--provides tactical assistance to the team by spotting enemies and sniping them. The Assault class is the most popular due to being able to heal himself, but the rest have their own quirks still. There are also an abundance of land, air, and sea vehicles to use on some maps and during some modes, a lengthy ranking system that goes up 145 levels, 9 different maps which compliment the main modes, a solid netcode, and a couple dozen guns and gadgets to use. There're even 6 solid co-op missions with their own storyline and great teamplay mechanics which involve you and your partner controlling an attack chopper together, and several stealth sections where communication is key. Classic game modes like Conquest and Rush also return along with standard Team/Squad Deathmatches, and the great map design makes these modes more enjoyable. There are great things to say about this game, but there are also some bad things to say about it. When it comes to weapon balance, I can't help but get annoyed anytime someone kills me with a semi-auto shotgun. The Saiga 12K, DAO -12, and M1014 often kill pretty quickly, and because you can spam them, you can die pretty quickly from them with the killer not requiring much skill since these are easy-to-use. The Assault class also suffers from some balancing issues with guns like the M16A3, M416, and AEK-971 outperforming other guns in the category. The suppression feature in this game--where if you shoot close to an enemy, their screen gets blurry, allowing you or your teammates to finish that guy off--is WAY TOO STRONG to the point where you almost can't see anything once you're suppressed. The defibrillator, an Assault gadget where you revive teammates with it, is also annoying with medics spamming revives at you even though you keep getting killed as you get up. Combine that with a few other annoying gadgets, and you'll start getting sick of gadgets in general. One final big sin is the progression system where you'll need a few hundred kills to unlock all the attachments for a gun. Despite all these sins though, the MP can still be fun to play. 8/10

    Verdict: At only $20, I'll say this game is definitely worth the price. Buy it.

    Battlefield 3 is more spectacular than Battlefield Bad Company 2. The story is slightly weaker, but how to spend the game is simply awesome. Many missions have remained in my head because of how they were made.

    This game is devoid of anything like "Battlefield 2" calling it Battlefield 3 is the first mistake.

    a quick look around on the net showed that this is a widespread issue. so go on-line and find out if you can run it DO NOT pay attention to the system requirements it states. its a shame as it looked like a good game and i was really looking forward to it. so as i type i am removing it and will then throw it in the bin.
    i found everything about it vague when trying to get started. after a lengthy installation it then did an even longer update. a total of 19 hours, just to get started (and i have never had that much time from ANY other games). then you cant just play but instead you have to download even more things as you access it from the internet even for single player. after all that i was met with a low resolution, laggy, buggy and intolerable mess.
    basically it seems that unless you are already an intensive gamer with a high end PC the price of this game is actually in the hundreds of pounds. i cannot find any appropriate words for my disappointment as far as this game is concerned. the footage i had seen elsewhere looked amazing, but it seems that it was not PC footage. the cost involved in making my PC capable of running this game is more than it would be to buy a PlayStation and the game and not have the issues. as it is i have spent £80 and too many hours on trying to make it work and its all wasted.

    of all the games i have bought this is the worst. by all means buy it but go on-line and find out the real requirements before parting with your hard earned cash and time. EA have successfully made a pastime into hard and infuriating work.    … Expand

    BF3 is a mediocre game. My breakdown is as follows:

    1. Graphics: 8/10 - excellent, even on low-end rigs
    2. Gameplay: 7/10 - great controls and satisfying experience with good sound effects. In campaign, excessive lighting occasionally affects gameplay.
    3. Story: 2/10 - not interesting or engaging at all
    4. Multiplayer: 7/10 - competitive and fun

    Overall, an average game.

I would of given it a score of 10, but I docked 1 point for the lack of support the game has now since BF4, and I docked another point because one problem this series has always had is the developers never leave the game alone and I mean they're always tampering with it.

I also experience something i call the purple glitch which just turns my map into a flash purple mess its like being on the inside of a purple disco ball. If only EA was like they used to be.

    PROS: + Not too hard, your standard shooter bloody goodness
    CONS: - Really stupid AI teammates hinder more often than help - Additional software required for online play (punkbuster)

    REVIEW: Note that this is only a review of the single player campaign, since you have to allow EA to spy on you to play online. Well, I'll be honest right from the start in saying that shooters aren't my favorite genre. That being said, sometimes there is no substitute for gunning down really stupid AI in a relatively easy game-which is what this is. No health bar, lots of ammo and extremely stupid AI who will run across killing fields because they don't want to sit still for more than 5sec. Still, if you stand out in the open it won't take much to kill you on Normal mode - though running and gunning with a shotgun is surprisingly effective when you consider how important cover is otherwise.

    Cons include extremely frustrating moments when a scripted AI teammate shoves you into heavy fire to get to their pre-recorded post-I wanted to shoot those idiots more than once-especially since their only function seems to be to draw enemy fire-they will engage enemies nearly indefinitely without killing them unless you do so yourself. Furthermore, in order to play online you have to give EA explicit permission to access your computer via their "punkbuster" software. This is supposed to prevent cheating, which is a noble goal, but it's as invasive as a full rectal exam just to go to the public pool-yeah it will help prevent disease, but you wouldn't see me lining up to have somebody stick their arm up in my business just so I can splash around with the dorky preteens.

    Sometimes EA offers the game free to hook you into buying the DLC. I'd say it's worth $0, but if you can't get it for this, pass.    … Expand

    As many of you already know Battlefield is all about the multiplayer,so I will give very little attention to the short and linear 4 hour long campaign with zero memorable characters and a cliche find the nuke plot.
    Even the co-op mode that is definitely better than the campaign lacks the mission variety and the replay value to even bother playing it. With all that said lets move the mutiplayer game that is the real reason why people buy this game. I should mention though as a side note that to all the people that claim that Battlefield 3 is a realistic shooter are deeply wrong. Battlefield is as much realistic as COD or any other block buster FPS game. Battlefield has a great variety of maps that you can play. From the huge open fields of the Armored Kill expansion to the tiny maps of the Close Quarters expansion. Battlefield is a game that heavily depends on the quality of the maps and that explains why the Battlefield franchise in general has one of the best maps in the gaming world. Although while Battlefield 3 has many good and fresh maps many are very poorly designed. I can say from personal experience that the last 2 expansions of Battlefield 3 brought to us one of the worst maps in the Battlefield history. From the clunky Aftermath expansion maps to the boring End Game expansion maps that have no spawn defense in capture the flag mode that can lead to many game breaking situations. For example I remember once that an enemy tanked drove behind our base to spawn kill everyone. The poor protection of the bases that the terrain offers made it impossible for us to dodge or even attempt to react to the tank threat. We ended up loosing heavily. Battlefield is a game that is heavily depended on team work. When you have a good team you will have a blast playing. The 4 classes in Battlefield 3 allow the team to support each other and play as a team. The medic heals and revives, the support gives ammo, the engineer fixes friendly and the recon can be the eyes of your team. Unfortunately in most games people play just for the sake of playing, ignoring the match objectives and just rushing towards the closest enemy. And that's why you end up a lot playing as a solo player. Battlefield's 3 most famous game mode is conquest that can perfectly suits the multiplayer maps. Battlefield 3 has also rush mode that is basically protect the objective type of game. The defender team protects 2 objective while the attack team tries to destroy, if they succeed you retreat to the next position. This continues until all positions are taken by the enemy and the enemy team wins or the time runs out and the defender team wins. In my opinion those are the best modes in Battlefield that provide the most fun. The other game modes feel like you are playing a normal FPS game that just is not as fun as the Rush and Conquest mode.
    In conclusion battlefield 3 is a fun game with great maps and modes for the most part, but requires a good community to play it with. And unfortunately most of the time you end up being with a bad unfocused team that ignores the objectives.    … Expand

Alright alright fair enough fair enough. But the problem resisted. I tried searching for remedy for this issue, and they said battlefield 3 has some compatibility issue with operating systems whose system locale are not in English. I switched my "language in non-Unicode software" to English. Although it caused some troubles but so far so good, I logged into the game! Hooray! Then I tried to queue for multiplayer, and I got kicked for some "PunkBuster" issue? The game asked me to go to a site called evenbalance to update my PunkBuster, I bloodily just installed my copy today and you asked me to go to a site whose design is like in mid-90s and manually update this bloody malware-like stuff which was released on 2012? Fine, fine. Even it's like 10 steps to update this stuff I still proceeded with great effort and humblest patience, with several restarts and file-copying. And PunkBuster itself crashed constantly with a dialog with a lot of question marks which is totally unreadable. I just couldn't bear so I gave it up. Maybe if I didn't get it for free I'll try harder to tackle these problems. I am totally surprised for the amount of bugs it contains even it has already been released for 3 years, EA still hasn't fixed them. Although SimCity for which I paid $60 was a nightmare, BF3 seems has a reasonably higher critic score. But I spend like 3 hours trying to start playing but I can't.

    This is a review of the singleplayer and co-op only. Both modes are absolutely terrible. Coop is short and none of the missions are fun at all, to add to the pain they completely lack checkpoints and, like the main campaign, have quick time events.

I had no idea what was going on and honestly I didn't give a damn. None of the missions were any fun. Even the tank mission was quite boring. It's filled up scripted events and other CoD bull crap. I didn't bother playing the multiplayer since it's yet another modern themed shooter and I have way too many of those to begin with. Pass on this garbage.… Expand

    DICE demonstrates once again they know how to make games with huge learning curves. Only the most persistent (or masochistic) will make it beyond a few games. Death comes far too quickly and often from nowhere. Vehicles are too few and too powerful. Experienced pilots can effectively lockdown an entire 64 player map with just two jets.

    Complaints aside, the game can be a lot of fun. Though it makes me long for the simpler days of Battlefield 2 or even 1942.    … Expand

It wouldn't be a rating if i wouldn't rate both, the single and multiplayer but i feel very disapointed in the campaing mode. With a few hours of gameplay it's long enough to be not only a tutorial but it just feels like a corridor you have to pass through the way the designers wanted it to be. I so pissed when i have to play Blackburn and so happy for every moment i can play as Dima., caused by the better levels with him. Sometimes when you could easily dodge the crappy quicktime events the game won't let you e.g. kill your opponent on the spot. How difficult can real story telling be...
    The Multiplayer saves the day but it seems to be hard for newbies to compete with worser weapons and no attachments. There is no need for that stuff if you look back to to original 1942 where you actaully had 4 loadouts and nothing more it was real fun. Well not everyone has the money for the shortcut bundle which must be enormous waste....

    Singleplayer pro:
    + nice AI that also uses knives if you forget one of them and just walk to close
    + A story that has something like a interesting idea and is told by interuptable movies
    + Different tasks with different vehicles
    + Dimas Levels give you freedom of your strategy
    + Graphics are nice and most times the levels look good
    + Chars seem to be alive with all sorts of conversation going on
    cons.:
    - Quicktime events everywhere. I felt like constantly beeing a fool by this and having no choice (even if i got a good gun in my hand...) but tapping into the trap. some of them are really pissing off since fist fights can't be a matter of splitseconds and i actually play a shooter and not a adventure.
    - The Drama of losses pisses me really off... We are at war people die there of both fractions i don't feel like needing to cry for a single guy.
    - Normally I have varoius ways to win over a situation but best way ends in an endless game... there are endless enemies if i outflank them and make headshots from the side, than if i take a seat behind the HMG and spray bullets like stupid with no aim.
    - Corridor shooter: sometimes i have the choice of a 10*10m battlefield even if i see 100 meters. Otherwise we leave the battlefield. There is hardly a choice where to go or even how to kill the enemy.
    - Most stupid tasks ever... Hey driver why don't you run in a suicide mission across the battlefield, there is a 30man troop with no b***** to do it? Why do i need to wait until my vehicle falls apart before i may use my weapons?
    Some Characters seem so damned stupid in the story, that you feel like you wanna crash something heavy on their head. Like they aren't using brains according their information status, but that's needed in a way to keep goin on.

    Multiplayer:
    pros:
    + very realistic mechanics
    + revive, medipacks and spawn points aren't here to make it realistic but fun to play and balanced
    + some unlocks make you interested in continuing leveling
    + you can have tanks, jeeps, etc. and it's nicely implemented
    + aircrafts and their easy control management
    + many large and interesting maps
    + good balancing calss is changeable with dead chars
    + not much of cheaters
    + many different modes
    + mostly destructable environment
    + respawn is not automatic and i can change my equipment
    cons:
    - sometimes stil bugs like you get stuck somehwere where you have acually no obstacle
    - crappy webinterface that let's you start the game new for every match
    - too much of unlockables that you need s****loads of time to get them
    - too expensive before the release of part 4 (50€ stil) that prevented more full servers now the user base is shrinking and now the unlocks for 18€
    - pay to win with unlocks and extra stuff for premium; extensions should be more according maps
    - aircrafts dominate too much on the map since flying might be too easy.

    Over all it seems to be stil a good alternative to Battlefield 4, which is reported to have many issues after the release. Even if the numbers of players are going down in favor for other games...    … Expand

The game is so easy, I died only once, due to unfair enemies just to make the game seem harder. The voice acting is poor. I feel like I am playing a dumbed down version of Call of Duty Modern Warfare, yeah, I said it! The story is the same as all First Person hand Holders, bad people kill people so we have to kill them. I feel as if I am controlling a robot, this game feels like I am incapable of doing anything myself and has to hold my hand. This game is so short, it is sad. I could spend more time in the first level of Deus Ex than playing this entire game. They pad this just to make it longer. AI characters have to follow you everywhere, treating you like a child! They have to open doors for you! The enemy AI is even worse, walking into your gun fire.
    There is a mission that makes you think you are going to fly a jet, but it is just on rails shooter! Not a good one either. I got so board after five seconds of this piece of crap! I am so offended by this game, why did I spend money on? I want to destroy this game.
    I feel like my computer is about to shoot itself for me just playing this game.
    The shooting just sucks, there is no power to the weapons. All of the weapons are the same, they all fire the same, take the same time to reload, the same amount of ammo to kill an enemy. They all sound as if a cat is sneezing.
    There is regenerating health, are you a star fish x10000 or something?
    Your AI partners are so incapable of killing anyone, I don't even want them there! All they are doing there is just to further the story.
    This game has none of the wakey over-the-top stuff from Call of Duty. Most of the time in this game you are ducked behind cover because the enemy AI shoot a never ending stream of bullets at you. Not that it matters because you are a starfish x10000.
    I feel this game is a step back in human evolution. Yeah the reverse of the Theory of Evolution.

    I know a bunch of fan boys will say "Oh this game is for the multiplayer that is what it is the multiplayer is good it is good play the multiplayer it is good"
    BULL CRAP!
    I played the multiplayer, it sucks. It is the normal multiplayer of this generation of First Person Hand Holders. You start with a load out. One thing I can say is load outs suck! Play Half Life's multiplayer where you have to pick up weapons on the map, and if you die you start with a pistol. Load outs make it so you don't have to look around the map. It also gives higher level players an advantage over others because the have better equipment. The whole leveling system sucks anyway I wish games would take it out. They should take a Que from Halo which had a good multiplayer (For this gen)with no load outs!
    It is the same thing over and over, you die, respawn, you kill someone, die, respawn, die, respawn, you kill someone, die, respawn, kill someone, die, respawn, die, respawn, die.

Huge battles, deep weapon customization, awesome visuals, realistic sound design and intense dog fights immediately make the game superbly enjoyable. The only complain I can give about the multiplayer is that there are a some balancing issues.
    Battlefield 3 is a multiplayer masterpiece, and a single-player mess. But the single-player, while effecting the game score, it wont put down the game when it has intense multiplayer matches. (Final Score: 8.30)

    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]
