    Battlefield 3 is like having the thing you've always wanted wrapped up the same bag with a lot of sh*t. Sure Battlefield its a mutiplayer game and has been since its first started, but if your gonna put a campaign in the game at least make it fun and not just a tech demo wrapped up in a loose "story".

If this game was mutiplayer only it would be a 9/10, but sadly the bad story, cardboard characters, and just plain generic campaign brings down. Now on to the mutiplayer, is it any good? Yes. Here DICE shines, the mutiplayer is very fun, but somewhat laggy and glitchy. That's sad to see because it might have one of the best mutiplayers I've played in a while. The mutiplayer is a sure step up from the last Battlefield game. So in the end Battlefield is a near perfect MUTIPLAYER shooter with a very lackluster singleplayer, but the singleplayer doesn't bring score down too much because its mainly a online shooter. Expand

    The excellent multiplayer mode makes up for the generic and boring single player and co-op modes. This game features awesome visuals and sound. One major complaint, especially for the PC version is the Origin DRM as well as Battlelog. Both can be frequently annoying at times.

    The multiplayer is heart-pounding, intense fun. Being skeptical for the multiplayer, but it actually achieving to be the level that Bad Company 2 was, is surprising. 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)

    P.S: I didn't play the co-op, because I'm focusing on other games recently)

It's a must-get for those who want a great multiplayer experience. Expand

    DO NOT BUY. Although this is game has more than enjoyable multiplayer, the PC version is utterly broken and is a disaster on so many levels. The game always opens Battlelog when I open BF3 and the game always says "Origin is not installed" when I try to connect to a server.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    (Disclaimer: This review is Singleplayer only)

    While Battlefield 3 may be to this day a fun shooter with a somewhat aged but still responsive and intriguing gun play, It is in my opinion overall not the best choice anymore, when it comes to Singleplayer shooters. The story, while not super important, is somewhat simple and nothing to set focus on, but considering that most games like Battlefield and Call of duty have a higher focus on gameplay, rather than story telling, it is admittedly nothing I would judge the game on too harshly. I just wish to mention that point, since there will be lots of people who seek to play a fun shooter, with a focus grabing story. Beyond that as already mentioned the gun play is solid and works well enough despite feeling somewhat aged, but the overall game feels too easy, making you focus less on actually utilizing the gun play or to try to play as tactical as possible, but rather makes you want to just run through the game, while spraying aimlessly towards the enemy, because you can. This may sound as a weird critique at first, but having played this game on hard difficulty and still having no problem whatsoever, makes this game not feel like you are in constant danger, having to play as tactical as possible, or else you will be in trouble, but rather it makes you feel like you are in a nerf battle. Also worth mentioning are the bugs. While there may not be any game breaking bugs in there, they are certainly still noticeable and in some cases even quite annoying. Less noticeable bugs would be your allies standing inside objects or even straight up running in and out of walls, but those that are more annoying are when you get stuck inside an ally, or try to run down the stairs, but get stuck on nothing, or you have to interact with a character, but he won't respond, so you have to die in order to go back to last checkpoint in order to finally progress. Worst bug of them all though was one, where my whole game at one point randomly set it's difficulty to normal, which may not be a problem, if it weren't for the fact that in order to change difficulty back you have to replay a mission or rather in my case, replay the whole game. I looked up the bug btw and I found out, that I am indeed not the only one that had to deal with this bug and those that did already had to deal with it back in 2011, when the game came out, making this somewhat inexcusable to be still in the game. When it comes to graphics though, I do have to admit that it does indeed holds up to this day quite well. Yes it does look aged in some parts and you can sometimes see, that this game is almost 10 years old, but overall it certainly does look great and certainly will still look great in the future, though I believe that a game does not need to have the best or rather most realistic looks possible in order to be enjoyable. The sound design though, while the background sound is ok and serves it's purpose, the gun sound definitely does hold up fantastic to this day and makes gun play feel a whole lot more satisfying. Overall conclusion, do I think I would recommend this game? It depends on what you are looking for. If you are looking for a shooter with really good story telling, play something like half life,
    Metro, Bioshock or. If you are looking for a shooter that demands you to actually play tactical, then play Metal Gear solid V, Halo or Battlefield bad company 2, or if you want a game with a super satisfying gun play, then play doom or wolfenstein. But if you do seek a fun Battlefield exoerience or just wish to play a laid back shooter, then yes Battlefield 3 would still be a good choice. Despite me speaking mostly negative about this game, beyond that I could recommend this game a lot more based on the mulitplayer, since it does have a very solid and enjoyable multiplayer mode, but since I prefer to just review the game based on singleplayer, because I have not played multiplayer during my session, I will just say that it is definitely still one of the better multiplayer shooters out there. Thus I will conclude my review with a 6/10 for the Singleplayer mode. (Multiplayer mode would be an 8.5 or 9/10).

    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.
