Dec 7, 2011Congratilations To DICE and Electronic Arts. this game just rock my world on Multiplayer, and now with 'Back To Karkand' pack, we got a lot of maps, lots of veicules, jets, tanks, jeeps and big maps where snipers can do they magic (if they are good) Great Game. On Campaing the story could have a better end, i liked, but it could be better,
-
Dec 9, 2011AWESOME! Best multiplayer shooter ever. Granted, I have not touched the single-player but I you bought this game for single player you don't know anything about games anyway. My only complaint was DICE let the EOD cheat go on too long so there are lots of bad players with high ranks online.

Dec 12, 2011bf3 is an excellent game especially after the release of back to karkand which brings an even better vibe to the game the single player was forgettable the first time around but when i played threw again on the hard difficulty i enjoyed it a lot more i gave it a 9 because no game is perfect

Dec 16, 2011The best modern FPS hands down. That being said, the FPS is a tired genre in my opinion. Otherwise it would have gotten a 10. Most of the maps are great (the subway one is garbage) with the addition of the back to karkand expansion (wake island, you dirty beast) the game is just getting better.

Dec 22, 2011amazing game ..campaign is not that great but multiplayer rocks and the maps are also amazing.I would give the multiplayer a 10 out of 10 and the campaign a 6 out of 10......much improvements from bfbc2...

Dec 23, 2011battlefield 3 is a great game but not a perfect game. reason is that it still have some major flaw with the sound delay when reloading and sudden quiet during online gameplay.
-
Jan 7, 2012this game is the best ever. the multiplayer is the best in any fps ever made and campain and co-op just make it better. way better than bfbc2 and a little better than mw3

Mar 22, 2013Contains some of the best graphics on the console; its scope is showcased in the incredible detail on the very large maps it boasts. The multiplayer is polished and as exiting to play as any FPS out there. The campaign is incredibly underwhelming. Save for one level, the entire thing is pretty forgettable. Only get this if you enjoy playing FPS online.

Nov 27, 2012A perfect 10. Lots of variety, weapons, vehicles, jets, choppers, gadgets, attachments, modes to keep you engaged day in and day out.. beautifully balanced weapons! has some bugs and issues.. But Multiplayer is pure bliss.. Single player ? What single player :)

Dec 27, 2012Great game one of the best BF ever,if not the best...But the story is really really boring and no emotion,but online is the savior in this case,a wonderful online in my opinion,but i hope in the future BF will be a even better game and be the best shooter game ever !

Apr 11, 2013Absolutely love this game. I have premium, I am level 45 in the multiplayer and there is still many things I haven't ever tried in the game. This game is huge and will have you going on forever. This is not a "maybe I might buy it" it is a MUST HAVE.
-
May 16, 2013the next battlefield we see will kill cod and i like cod but see you and i still like cod but it doesnt compare to this unless its the first black ops
-
Aug 15, 2013was never into online first person shooters until I played this, a truly engaging game with stunning sound and graphics, only downfall is the 24 player match's on consoles compare to 64 players on pc, to get the full experience from this game I recommend playing on PC

Sep 16, 2013A must have FPS game. It was the sequel to BF2 that we had all expected, and had significant changes that make it a true classic. This and Cod4 I find are just simply the best shooters nd both simply difficult to give less than 10! ten ten ten, and nothing less.

Dec 7, 2013I love the Battlefield franchise as this game was great. You had a great story that kept you into it the whole time. And now the only reason I gave it a 9 was because of the ending. No spoilers but I think it was really rushed but the multiplayer and rest of the story makes up for it. The multiplayer is what really makes BF3, BF3. So you got yourself a good game if you got BF3.
-
Dec 18, 2013Dont listen to the whining about EA, and buy the game. Such exhilarating multiplayer, it is an experience u cannot miss. It is a virtual battlefield. there are times when u will feel the adrenaline rush through ur body.

Jul 29, 2014I can't stand this game's singleplayer campaign. However, the multiplayer is amazing. It's as simple as that. But if you have the option to get this on PC, by all means, go for it. On PS3 the max player count is 24 compared to the 64 on PC, which is definitely better given the sheer size of the maps in this game. It is still a great game on PS3 though.
-
Aug 12, 2014Extremely dull and short single player experience, even compared to the likes of competitor Call of Duty. The heart of the game is all in the online, which is great fun, if a little biased towards those who are competent in the vehicles.
-
Oct 23, 2014A really fun game with a good character movement good graphics and good multiplayer. The multiplayer is really fun for you and your friends with a match being on average 20 minutes to 1 hour
-
Nov 23, 2014This is probably the best Battlefield I've ever played. Impressive weapons, maps, vehicles, players, game modes, and graphics. If you want to see a good war simulator, just buy Battlefield 3

Feb 26, 2015Game looks absolutely gorgeous! Guns and sound are amazing! Story was ok at most, I didn't really care for it, just the same Multiplayer is fun as always, fast paced and fun!
-
Nov 18, 2015Overall a enjoyable game with some issues on multiplayer. Does make the ps3 freeze as other stated but did not happen to often. Single player campaign was enjoyable and graphics were top-notch. Would recommend this game to fans of fps or military games.

May 14, 2016Awesome multiplayer, campaign and graphics, fun and stable, loved the realistic looking, it needs some learning rather than reflexes on call of dutys, it's still been played on daily basis by lots of players more than bf4
-
Apr 9, 2016Weak campaign which is very boring. But the multiplayer makes up with the realistic war with huge maps but still fastish pace with the vehicles overall. 86/100

Jun 7, 2016A very good game with a great balance in the team deathmatch and other multiplayer modes.
I preferred the server selection from the PS3 version from the Origin version for the PC.
I liked this game more than BF4 on PC. -
Dec 12, 2016MY FAVORITE GAME OF ALL TIME.
BF3 is a fun/ game changing fps, one of the best experience i have ever had on a video game, all the maps/dlc maps are fun as **** no words to describe the masterpiece that I think this game is.
JUST BUY IT. -

Jan 24, 2020Its my first BF game, and i really love it. Singleplayer campain is really bad. But multiplayer is awesome. You can use tanks, cars, jets etc. You can destroy buildings. Its really cool.

Oct 29, 2018Battlefield 3 was the first Battlefield I played and I really enjoyed it! Its one of the best looking games on the PS3, the campaign is really good, you can tell they put a lot of work and effort into this mode. The multiplayer was also pretty good too. Overall Battlefield 3 is a really good action game.

Nov 22, 2020Excelent game. I´ve enjoyed breathtaking nonstop action campaing from start to end.
Story could be hardly written better than it was. I liked characters, weapons and environment as well.
I think this game deserve 9/10 without doubts. -

Feb 23, 2022The story is not great but it was solid enough, alongside a nice co-op mode and one of the best multiplayers ever? Just because of that last aspect I think it deserves a 9. Definitely the best BF for me.

Jun 27, 2022Battlefield 3 reinvigorates the Battlefield franchise and properly challenges Call of Duty.
Awards & Rankings

Feb 10, 2012Hopefully EA reconsiders its approach to toppling Call Of Duty in the future, and allows its games to develop their own personality, rather than imitate something else.

Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)Jan 4, 2012Despite its incredible competitive online play, we can't ignore the shortcomings of its campaign and Co-Op. [Jan 2012, p.66]
-
Official PlayStation Magazine BeneluxJan 2, 2012The nine multiplayer maps seem to be designed specifically to let players come up with their own creative strategies. Compared to COD, this gives the player a real sense of freedom. There is no such thing as a perfect strategy or a trotten path. [December 2011, p.74]
