    Campaign was so so, but this ludicrously deep multiplayer had me tied by the noose. The realim, and smoothness running even on low settings, Battlelog is awesome. I love being able to have that much detail in a profile.

    Well worth the $60.

    I have this on PC. I have about 30 hours logged excluding finishing the campaign on hard and all the co-op missions. I'll tell you this, BF3 has its plunders with a somewhat lack luster single player...but honestly who is buying FPS games to look forward to story? The multiplayer is AAA+ quality. People may complain about Origin but it's mainly browser plugin issues

    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.

    Fermons cette parenthèse.
    Battlefield 3, suite logique du 2 (les Bad Company étant des genres de spin-off plus ou moins officiels), est BANDANT. BANDANT. BAN-DANT. C'est sans aucun doute le meilleur de la série, et j'irais même jusqu'à balancer "le meilleur jeu multi depuis des années". Tous les mécanismes de la série Battlefield ont été revisités et améliorés. Tout est comme avant mais en mieux.

    La maniabilité est incroyable : les commandes sont simples et pourtant diablement poussées. Le système de progression incite à passer vos journées sur le jeu, à tel point que ça en devient indécent. L'ambiance est réaliste. Tout est dans le détail. Les graphismes (splendides !) envoient du pâté à la vitesse du son, et le son justement est tout bonnement hallucinant. Les balles sifflent, claquent, cratapètent, tactactactac, papapapapan, les roquettes sifflent à vos oreilles, les obus explosent, boum badaboumn les éclats impactent les murs, les maisons s'effondrent, les jeeps font vroum, les tanks tankent, les avions volent et font FIIIIIIOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, Ã

Team-play and strategy also plays an important role in whether you win or lose. There is no mind-numbing 'run and gun' game-play to be found here.

    Think of the single player as a tutorial system and this game makes a lot more sense. Fundamentally Battlefield is always about the multiplayer, and this has a fantastic multiplayer system. Most of the criticism has to focus on the awful Origin, but blaming that on Battlefield would be like blaming Left 4 Dead on any issues Steam had.

Multi players is insane. Great squad based gameplay, well designed maps, overall its fun and simply entertaining. Co-op is interesting. I had more fun in this than the single player. I was expecting just being able to go through the SP with a buddy, but Co-Op is it s own mini-series. Very interesting concept. However, it seemed under developed, almost as an afterthought (or an extra game mode to stick on the box). I hope this will be expanded later on with DLC or expansions. This game is definitely going to be around for years, like BF2. I debated dockeding a point because of the terribly low ceilings for the jets in some maps. I have a feeling this has something to do with being able to support the consoles, and I hope it gets patched out of the pc version - so if your a flyer, you've been warned. And there is no default ingame voice for squads. You have to set up a party in Origins to use voice, if your not in a squad with clannies utilizing TS/Vent. I would definitely recommend buying this game. Expand

    Frost Bite 2, gives this game a heart and soul. The game play has evolved from BF2 and has incorporated several ideas from Bad Company 2, the game that kept the itch at bay.

    Politics aside, this game on PC out beats any of the competition, including its past games. The fact that no Xbox or PS3 games has ever seen such a wide multi-player. The PC version automatically gets 2 points over the Xbox and PS3 counterparts, because 24 player is nothing compared to 64 players. I can't see my buying the console versions, especially since they want you to pay to play online.

    32x32 is awesome, and i expected nothing less, however i did expect some more, like 48x48, or 64x64. These new battlefields are so beautiful that i have spent time just exploring, so i can live with 64 player since having 64 guys shooting at me wouldn't give time to take in the Frost Bite that has attacked my heart!

    The kicker is the "Back to Karkand" pack, which gives us old BF2 players complete nostalgia, just like watching the old X-Men or Transformers cartoon.

    All in All, I must say that out of every FPS ever made, and the impact of their releases, because of this, this game must be no less than a 9.5, and a solid 10 for being the best FPS ever created when it comes to army/war games.

    Online play is fluid, realistic, and just fast paced enough to keep your attention without making you have seizures. The graphics are amazing. Personas don't look like cartoons anymore. The leveling system is a huge leap forward from the Bad Company 2. Highly recommend this one.

Two of the maps can be avoided for 64 conquest purposes (which is all you really need to be playing) 1st, Metro; I dunno who designed this map and thought it to be a good idea, but they should be fired, it sucks. 2nd, Damavand; This is similar to Metro but with a wider tunnel system but is still plagued with the who gets the middle base first, wins. Unless you get a decent amount of people behind with your littlebird. Apart from these two maps the other seven are great and hold many avenues for different gameplay and flanking. Each class has their own merits which can help your team greatly, though for pure gunplay and killing power the assault class is in a league of its own. The infantry gameplay does have a slight smell of CoD but then that really isn't a bad thing as CoD was once one of the best on the market (CoD1 and CoD4) though it's toned down and not on as much cocaine as CoD, it just makes infantry seem a lot more potent then other Battlefields were firing your gun felt like you were throwing stones at people. All around it's shaped up nicely but still has some working out to do, but I am sure DICE is in the gym now pumping keys, oh and guess WHAT?! Dedicated servers baby, with admins and punkbuster, hooah. Expand

    Best game that has come out in 10 years..thank you Dice. This is the best tactical/teamwork game I have ever played. You need to work together to win the objective. Its not like COD where you run around aimlessly with grenade launchers and super speed jet feet with ninja like knifing abilities. Dice, just continue to patch the minor bugs and we are looking golden.

Wheels were invented for a reason you know- wait, I forgot, CoD doesn't let underage kids drive, silly me. Maps are too big you say? Why do you think squads were made? Its not all about one person, its about winning as a team and covering large areas that way, your squad and even beyond that. Strategy and execution is heavily rewarded in the game, gaining defensive positions and executing perfect attack orders unlike CoD's "I shoot you, you shoot me, i get more kills to get killstreaks to make everyone cry to make myself even better". It's self centered and does not foster proper COMMUNITY multiplayer gaming. So by now, you're probably thinking, "Omgz, BF3 fanboy ****ing on CoD MW3." Yah, umadbro? Sales are all MW3 has got going for it, skip over to the reviews done for MW3, see the difference? BF3 has revolutionized fps's taking an overused genre and making it realistic and challenging.

Battlelog, quirky at times, delivers a unique experience in stat tracking, and social gaming - think "facebook meets - stat central/UI". Many people have experienced stability issues, bugs, lock-ups, etc,...Personally, I have not. It seems that the majority of those who do have issues do not meet the system requirements, do not have the latest drivers or they simply do not understand the common nuances of a release such as this. Minor issues are expected, but DICE has already started to address most of the issues. In today's game release scenario, it seems unreasonable to expect a perfect launch but IMHO, DICE has come very close to perfection across the board.

The innovation involved is top-notch. The game is packed with content, with an amazing single player campaign noted as "the best campaign since Call of Duty 4" by GameInformer. Everything about this game is of high quality, the weapons are modeled with laser precision as the Developers had access and personal experience with each of the weapons featured in the game. Developed under the watchful, experienced eye of Soldiers/Experts from both the US Military and the British SAS. With a heart-stopping Single-Player campaign written by Andy McNab, an SAS Operative and War Hero. The multiplayer is completely innovative, with the most realistic destruction ever seen in a video-game. With nearly 100 different vehicles to pilot and drive, the action is never ending, yet subtle at the same time.

    The weaponry and unlocks in the game are endless, with a calculated 100 hours to fully level up a single class, one of four. The multiplayer in this game is top-notch, and unrivaled by its competitor, Call of Duty. Realistic, epic 64 player battles, and the winner of over 60 Industry awards. Battlefield 3 has won numerous Game of the Year awards already, and shows no signs of slowing down.

    Dice has been widely known for innovation and top-quality multiplayer, and this is where they step their reputation up even further. A deep single-player campaign that really makes you feel the emotions of a soldier on the front lines, fighting for his country in the midst of destruction and the reality of death. Coupled with an award winning industrial soundtrack, giving the game a unique distinction from the rest of the FPS crowd. When you listen to the music in Battlefield 3, you can really feel what Sgt. Blackburn is feeling as he fights for his life, and his brothers against the PLR.

    An industry leader in sound design, Dice has taken 7.1 Surround Sound to its fullest potential. The chaos of the battlefield, the sound of concrete and rubble, the deep bellowing gunshots exchanged by the US Military and the PLR, the loud, low growl of an M1 Tank's Powerful engines scored with the deep, unique emotional soundtrack. I'll say this right here, as the most innovative shooter this year, and for the decade to come, Battlefield 3 will always remain unmatched. This is not only the Shooter of the Year, but also a powerful contender for Game of The Year.

    Battlefield 3 is a full two generations ahead of its competitor, Call of Duty, and as Activision struggles to keep up with the quality of EA's products, that won't change anytime soon.

    Battlefield 3 is a PERFECT 10 out of 10, and let no one tell you otherwise.

    Battlefield 3... The winner of over 60 Industry Awards, and the shooter of the year, still unrivaled since (Battlefield) 1942.

I decided to write a review of my own after reading some of the mixed things others had to say. Look, we all have our preferences for different styles of games, and if you aren't a fan of FPS games, why would you even bother? This game is meant to be played online with your friends (if you have them). I have never played a game that felt so completely and utterly, EPIC. The single player... blah blah whatever. It's fun for a play through, and it's pretty and all that, but who cares? You didn't buy this game for the campaign, did you?! If you did, and you were disappointed then I'm sorry, and better luck next time. Okay, so the online experience; the meat of the game: Challenging, extremely fun, beautiful, rewarding, and a heap of other adjectives I could also pile on there, but in the end, amazing is the only one needed. The environments are completely astounding. You'll hear a jet smack into the ground and explode, a rocket whiz past your face, bullets coming from every direction, and it's scary sometimes. The lighting is unbelievable. Didn't your mom tell you not to look directly at the sun? It can actually blind you! (Well, at least your soldier). Come running out of a building or tunnel and it takes a bit for your eyes to adjust. Did I mention that you can blow things up?! Boom!!! The feeling I get when my squad and I are taking fire from the enemy while hunkered next to a blown up oil tanker; running and diving to get to cover; providing suppressive fire for the rest of my team to advance... it's unmatched by other games. There's vehicles too! Folks, I can't say enough good things about this game, but I can say one thing. GIVE IT A CHANCE. It may be extremely frustrating at times, but put in the time and effort that it takes to learn this game and you will be rewarded heavily. Battlefield 3, in all of its greatness, also has some flaws. I can't really think of any, but I'm sure it does. To those of you who gave this game a low score (anything less than an 8, in my opinion), come down off your mountain top and design a better gaming experience for the masses. At this moment, there are no comparisons. If you want to play sometime, my screen name is Gungis. Expand

    Happy I bought it. Single player is a waste of time and I hope in BF4 there will not be single player rather than that they should concern more on multiplayer. In multiplayer there are few annoying things like mortars or that the enemy in rush modes can get so close to the spawn point but overall this a good game. And also the ranking system in this game should be faster since if youHappy I bought it.

And also the ranking system in this game should be faster since if you are not a hardcore player and play this from time to time then it is going to take you quite a long time to unlock things and by that time you will be getting killed by hardcore players who play this game 10 hours a day and had everything unlocked week after the game was released.

    O jogo esta otimo, não acretito que tem usuarios aqui que deram nota 0, pode ser que sejam loucos ou se sentiram muito ruim quando foram jogar um multiplayer que não é acostumado, para ser mais expecifico em mapas abertos/veiculos/ e um verdadeiro "jogo de equipe" e estratégia.

    Não sei porque colocar uma campanha

    Não sei porque colocar uma campanha (singleplayer) no Battlefield 3... acho que poderiam deixar as boas histórias para a serie bad company e assim agradar cada tipo de jogadores...

    Por fim, é um jogo que estarei sempre a jogar, e pelo que estou vendo a DICE guardou o melhor para o final... com a expanssão "Back to Karkand" que tera os melhores mapa do Battlefield 2.

    Awesome game. Great graphics and gameplay. Though the single player is a bit short and disappointing. I like the INSTANT BATTLE feature in Battlefield 2, which i would like to see in Battlefield 3. That would make the game ten times better and has ten times better ratings. There are some bugs that need to be fixed. But everything else is just amazing. I wonder why Battlefield 3 stillAwesome game. Great graphics and gameplay.

    I am a jaded old gamer and i love this game.

    I can't believe all the 0 point reviews with stupid reasons for disliking the game. This is multiplayer franchise. You want amazing SP go play Modern Warfare. BF3 has the best combat multiplayer i've ever played, and i played everything under the sun. Its a blast, with every aspect having been designed with perfection. Its kind of a surprise

    BF3 has the best combat multiplayer i've ever played, and i played everything under the sun. Its a blast, with every aspect having been designed with perfection. Its kind of a surprise to see a game where vehicle, aircraft and foot combat is this well done. Graphics are amazing, since it looks like they were designed with PC in mind and are not gimped by consolitis.

    The sound is also incredible, looks like someone finally went to a gun range and shot real guns. If you've shot guns before you will get chills and adrenaline rushes in the firefights, especially indoors.

    Great graphics, amazing sound, gameplay, and upgrades.

    Insanely 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.

    I am so hooked on this game. Even though I suck at vehicles, it adds such a higher level to the game play. Even the single player is good. Coop is fun also, and there's weapons U can unlock and use in multi-player. If you want an amazing online FPS, BF3 is the way to go. Leave Modern Warfare for the kids and their xbox.

    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]
