    I tried to play it recently but it's a very old game now. It may have been one of the most successful games of its time, but it's impossible to play now. Graphics may be dated, but the story in the single player campaign was pretty bad.

    Battlefield 3 is the best Battlefield game so far. Graphics are still insane in 2023 and bf3 is still playable after 10 years.

    This game has one of the best single-player fps campaigns ever made. Every single mission is so fun and cinematic. My favourite has to be "Going Hunting" since it is so fun and I love how the music is implemented. The only mission I didn't like was "Operation Guillotine" since it was just standard boots on the ground but i understand why since it is integral to the game's story.

    What a bummer Dice could not capture the magnificence of Battlefield ever again after 3, 4 and 1 because this series was the ULTIMATE online war shooter experience of all time.

    Battlefield 3 had such incredible maps and gameplay and destruction and team play and I miss everything about it. I wish they would just remake BF3 so we could experience it all over again online, but sadly

    The game is very good...but in team play it lacks the level of the players and is unfair in it...but it is very good in the style of play and it is very realistic and this is a very good touch for the game

    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,

    A huge step up from the last entry, Battlefield 3 is a game that stays fun to play from beginning to end. The story isnt exactly new or mind blowing, but thats not what people play these games for.

    Um Otimo jogo, recomendo demais, ainda existem servidores online, apesar de fazer 11 anos de seu lançamento, porém acho que tem jogo melhores para se jogar online hoje em dia, mas não deixa de ser um bom jogo !

    Developers are lazy critters. The Battlelog site works crookedly in the game a lot of bugs even after 11 years. And I can’t play the game, because I throw out the local anti-cheat, although I don’t have cheats !!!!

    Besides the general look of the game graphics, sounds, and whatnot. the game play falls short from the previous titles. played Bad company 2 for 500+ hours, BF3 for 700 hours, and this game for 80 hours and I'm already sick of it. Multiplayer is rage inducing experience nothing will works out the way you think it would. spawn camping seems easier on this one than other ones, and the maps… Expa

    a time worth respecting EA GAMES. if you place the BF 2042 next to this one, the 2042 becomes a game made by children learning to program games

    Игра была невероятным прорывом в своё время, но сама компания коротковата и скучна, а мультиплеер меня никогда особо не привлекал.

    We are on the top of a high building (at least 6 storeys), given the task to guard a squad that escorts our former squad member, there are enemies right down at the surface level that have a clear target (the squad we need to guard, that is), but guess who they're shooting? Of course they're shooting me!
    I come to rush a script-spawned location just to get stabbed by a clown that nobody

    I come to rush a script-spawned location just to get stabbed by a clown that nobody tries to kill, because why? The squadmates are there to pretend that I am not alone and sometimes they even deal damage with random hits. That was too much stupidity for me so I dropped the game right at the beginning. Thank you, Microsoft, for saving me money with your game pass for PC.

    I played BF3 on the Xbox 360 through backwards compatibility. And the multiplayer servers are still alive, it’s it’s not many people play the co-op missions anymore. The campaign is pretty short but sweet! The multiplayer is the best part, it’s pretty hard to get into and new players will match with pros, but it’s actually really simple!

    Прошёл игру часов за 5. Крутой шутер от первого лица с кучей пушек, отличной стрельбой, отличной разрушаемостью, зрелищным экшеном и крутым сюжетом. Единственный минус - игра почему-то часто вылетала.

    O melhor battlefield já feito. Há servidores ativos até hoje, inovou em mecânicas, jogabilidade e é insuperável até hoje

    The single payer gameplay is good but the multiplayer was where this game truly stood out. Was graphically demanding for its time though and had some compatibility issues but nevertheless a really good game.

    This game is amazing, I don't really know how EA managed to make this game in 2011. The graphics still look amazing hell it even is very close to modern games. Campaign was pretty good and I had a lot of fun playing it overall a great experience!

    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]
