    This is my first Battlefield, and I'm quite impressed with the multiplayer. I love levelling up, love the graphics. I stay alive a lot longer than in Reach... Very addicting and fun.

    The single player campaign is too much in rails for my likes.

    As we know this is a classic of the online multiplayer shooters and many people played it, before Battlefield 4 lowered the numbers of players using part 3.

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

    One of the most realistic shooters ever published in the history of gaming. Most gameplay elements resemble the usual Call of Duty-style game mechanics, but Battlefield 3 stands on another ground.

    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.

    [The Level Design is great, The Combat is how you would expect from an FPS.

    The Narratives are good, The Cutscene is well made and the voice acting is fantastic.

    The Visuals are great for a 2011 game, I would say it's still a decent game to play in 2021.
    The animations are alright, but motion capture is slightly bad, especially facial capture.

    Encountered a lot of Bugs during my PlayThrough, from T-bone animations to unclickable NPC when i was supposed to climb over walls. And also had multiple full-on game crashes.

    The story is still great, it's not like its changes in the past 9 years.]

    The single-player part of the game isn't that replayable, you will get the same outcome every time.
    I couldn't find a match in Co-Op, and on Multiplayer everyone is basically in a vehicle all the time.
    But yes, the replayability is good, you can theoretically spend hours upon hours in this game, but if it will be enjoyable, that i don't know.

    "7/10 – Good
    Playing a Good game is time well spent. Could it be better? Absolutely.
    Maybe it lacks ambition, or is too repetitive,"

Сюжет, являясь вишенкой на торте показался немного скомканным к концу (предполагаю вмешательство издателя), и не слишком интересным, плохо прописанные персонажи и их химией. Не дожали, короче. Графически выглядит хорошо, если обновить текстуры на 4к, то игра будет смотреться лучше некоторых новинок. Встретились пару багов, связанные с совместимостью с современными системами, что не украсило картину. Ностальгия игру не спасла. Конечно, все эти претензии относятся к 2020 году, что не мешает игре оставаться одной из лучших 2011, где все эти моменты не замечались, а все достоинства работали на все 100%.… Expand

    10 years later, Battlefield 3 still holds up tremendously well. There aren't as many active servers, but there's still just enough to enjoy the core game modes and maps. It's still a pretty impressive game graphically and in its scale. The only downsides now are that the servers aren't quite as active as they used to be, and game progression takes a lot of grinding.

    Ofc in fast peace FPS games its normal sometimes some minor lag/netcode issue, but in BF2 this issue was a lot less present.
    Basically it ends to be a bit random when you engage an enemy directly, who is gonna die, and also can happen to see the enemy with 100% hp even if on screen you see you are hitting more then once.
    It can happen to shot 20 bullets into an enemy face and end killed one shot.
    As i just said those issues cant be totally absent from an fps, but they should be rare while in this BF3 they are basically the normal gameplay.
    This BF3 seems to me nearly the same as BFBC2 as netcode /latency normalization, but defo its a lot worse then BF2, where hitting someone was actually doing effective dmg 95% of times perfectly.    … Expand

Lots of issues with the single player campaign getting suck in a loop with some of the video as well as the AI being able to see through the destructible objects. Speaking of destructibles, a lot of them fall apart when a scene loads. Overall, a typical EA game, lots of hype and a failure to deliver a bug free game. Granted, all games have bugs, but in the 60 AAA game space the bug count for BF3 is unacceptable. Performance on my machine is about 40fps @ ultra settings. Most of the time except to the above mentioned exploding verts, blocky, fractured shadows, and random, blocky pixelation on some of the textures. There is also a tendency for frame hopping and stuttering when running. Origin is a toll pain in the ass. I hate it. I am actually on the verge of returning the game just so i don't have to deal with origin to play it. It is horrible. EA needs to go back to steam.

    In the end, I should have gotten BF3 on xbox so I could trade it in for CODMW3 in a few days.    … Expand

    Eh. Graphics are nice if you can run it... Otherwise the multiplayer is a pass for me. Its the same thing Dice is known for, crappy realism. Practically all of the guns feel like airsoft. (fake and pointless) Helicopters are slower than glaciers (well it almost feels that slow) and jets, which are back, feel slower than glaciers it seems like a jet should feel like its going 500mph not 50mph.

Everything seems to be more linear, direct, less strategy, squad combat sucks, I wanted them to bring the commander back from BF2, (battlefield 2 was probablly the best multiplayer FPS ever) or somthing along the lines of chain of command. Who's idea was it to give the assault class a med kit? Its still playable, but it does not deserve what its getting, make no mistake however, this is a quadrillion times better than call of duty BS (call of duty is pretty bad, but the two games are hard to compare) In short, dont buy BF3, buy an earlier battlefield. Dont you all miss when games had their own orchestrated music and polish to them?

I'm merely doing this so you can get an understanding of the type of FPS gamer i am. Battlefield 3 is a good game, it is definitively almost great. The graphics are slightly better than Bad Company 2, There seems to be unscripted destruction. The sound is great, and i thought single player was decent. Now what Battlefield 3 is not? it is not deserving of the Battlefield 3 name. The game is blatantly consolized, the maps are small and made for 24 players. Most maps are just long corridors with choke points in the middle. Gameplay resorts to an endless rocket spam, with a lot of corner camping. The few maps that are actually open (2 of them) are just to small for 64 players. All the capture points are clustered together, why even have 4 or more points if you're going to put them all within 50 meters of each other? The game gives the impression that it should be tactical and slightly slow paced. But it's not it's a straight rip of Call of Duty, the game feels nerfed, arcadey, and "plastic" with client side hit detection. And that's another thing that ruins the game client side hit detection is absolutely horrible. You will frequently get into firefights where you put 15 or more bullets into someone only to have them literally one shot you. The game is rife with cheaters, i could not find a pub server without at least one of them. Punkbuster is a laughing joke to any cheat site, it always will be. Battlelog is pretty bugged, you will click to join a server only for the game to crash, or freeze then crash or just give you a random error. It was pretty frequent. Having to run your web browser and Origin is just a waste of 200mb of your ram. It is really not needed and these features should be in the game, not outside it.

    I played the game for about 15 hours over a few days. I finally got sick of the things described above and got a full refund from EA. (bought from Origin.) I would possibly buy the game again in the future at a discounted price ($30).

The only real progress this game has made in the series is graphics, which is natural. The game is still as fun as the older Battlefield games, but for its lack of expanding its size to match the modern computers its not getting more than a 6. Battlefield series is now going down to be the same crap as modern warfare, pointless remakes and DLCs as if this is an RPG. Prepare for endless console ports...… 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]
