Nov 10, 2011BF like you never seen before. It has improved in many ways. The PS3 version might have only 24 players online, but the action is non stop!! New engine, new system, TOTAL destruction, what else do you want? And battlelog is free for everyone :)

Nov 10, 2011Best fps on the market by a mile. If you did't read the hype thus think bf3 will change the world you realize how great the game is. Compared to mw3 it blows it away! Only if my friends switched from cod I would play this game more... maybe in the future hopefully
-
Nov 10, 2011I'm very happy with this game, The frostbite 2 system made my day, I salute EA and DICE's work for this succesful game, the game focuses in a real battle as the users want to see and play and they made it incredibly awesome. Is "A must buy game"
-
Nov 10, 2011A shooting game that depends on teamwork? The only gripe i have is the classes were dumbed down from battlefield 2 (not bad company 2). This game is great and has everything in it I want from a shooter (minus a decent sniper rifle)
-
Nov 10, 2011This game is amazing! The realism and action sucks me in to the Battlefield. I recommend for gamers who love team strategy,vehicle warfare and just fun. Don't like it? Buy that crappy old COD game!

Nov 10, 2011The best Multiplayer game I've ever played. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is better than Modern Warfare 3 (Money Wasted 3 times, which I did only two times), yes BF2. Battlefield 3.. All CoD fans says these two games are different, BF3 and MW3, you can't compare. Hmm.. Totally different. BF3 is like perfect steel, MW 3 is like cheap Chinese plastic. Simple.

Nov 10, 2011BF3 is epic in every way, it combines what made BF2 the best PC game of all time and adds on that, with tons of new stuff, awesome maps, amazing graphics and sound, and that BF game play that we all love and bringing back 64 players the way it was meant to be played.. BF3 is the only military FPS you should drop a dollah on...

Nov 10, 2011Simply amazing !!! Not enough words for the sheer quality of the outstanding multiplayer...best Multiplayer game i just ever played...., A truly war experience, Team-play is the Key. Not run and gun...not this **** this game is nothing about STAND-ALONE, BF3 reflects the spirit of coop play, team-play, and tactical play.... 10/10 !!! PERFECT

Nov 10, 2011Absolutely amazing game! The sound is amazing and the guns sound so real! The campaign is not amazing but it's better than Cod! The multiplayer is amazing and unique.
-
Nov 10, 2011This easily the best MP game of the year. If you buy MW3 over this, which I am sure many retards are doing, then you are **** stupid. This game is awesome, HUGE MAPS, 24 player matches(64 on PC Master Race), vechicles. This game actually requires skill. unlike caw a dooty
-
Nov 10, 2011Simply the best Multiplayer FPS available
The graphics are top nothc - The atmosphere and the battle feeling is simply awesome and you have a lot of stuff to unlock. -
Nov 10, 2011Okay so I played the beta and i thought ehh it's okay,but Now since I got to play the finished game all I can say is I'M BLOWN AWAY!!!.battlefield 3 is a must have game that no shooter fan should miss.it has all the good stuff like Great graphics ,controls,voice acting,the multi-player is Fantastic and no words can say how addictive it is just like Bad company 2.my shooter of the year.

Nov 10, 2011just one word Legend.the game worh the money every day you new thing the jets are aswsom I could't finsh the the story mode till now cuz the online is take my time.I play for 6h every day I think its the best game now for online
-
Nov 10, 2011Overall great game, although this DOES HAVE A LEARNING CURVE! No other game has maps as large and dynamic as this game and actually enforces teamwork. I love this game, it's a must have for anyone who is a fan of war, FPS and action titles.
-
Nov 10, 2011BF3 rocks! It is great to have the large maps and vehicle choices, and most of all something to do besides just kills. I have played BF and BC games since the 1st, same with COD but COD gets very boring with limited space and the non-stop barrage of killstreaks going off left and right. I have always enjoyed BF games (and the variations) the most.

Nov 10, 2011Amazing! Graphics alone are stunning. Amazing online and gameplay. Campaign story line is a little difficult to follow and more like CoD, but fantastic game!
-
Nov 10, 2011Online play is fluid, realistic, and just fast paced enough to keep your attention without making you have seizures. The graphics are amazing for a console game, on par with some of the best high-end PC graphic card required games. Personas don't look like cartoons anymore. The leveling system is a huge leap forward from the Bad Company 2. Highly recommend this one.
-
Nov 10, 2011This game is epic... I have bf3 and mw3 and I cant stop playing bf3... the graphics alone sink me into the game... But the gameplay driving vehicles and the destruction and the realism... so amazing THANK U EA!!! made one hell of a game. Now on to skyrim tonight :)
-
Nov 10, 2011There is no doubt this year. I have always been a hardcore call of duty fan, but after playing battlefield 3, I was blown away. The multiplayer will keep you going for months, if not years and is worth the 60$ alone.. If not more.
-
Nov 10, 2011great game in multiplayer, I'm glad i pre-ordered the game because now i get the DLC for free. its easy to play with your friends since there multiple ways to join there session, choppers check, tanks check, coke on the side check.
-
Nov 10, 2011This game is simply amazing. I've been playing DICE games since Bad Company 1 and I'm very happy with the multiplayer on Battlefield 3. This is what the game is about. Not the rest of it. Would have been nice to have dinosaurs or zombies though. Just for fun. Seperate like nazi zombies. That is great on black ops.
-
Nov 10, 2011short campaign but awesome,good graphics,good multiplayer,an of the best games of the year...tremendo juego online muy bueno,muy recomendado este fps sobretodo online..es la ostia
-
Nov 10, 2011the story is awesome the game play is smooth and the graphics are so real that you feel like your in the game what more can you ask for vehicles,tons of weapons and upgrades this is as close as your going to get to being in the war haha thank you bf3 developers
-
Nov 11, 2011Multiplayer actually requires skill which is a nice change from the chaos of MW3. Also, unlike the MW3 servers, when I play Battlefield 3 I don't spend the whole time getting sworn at by some pre-pubescent kid from Cleveland.

Nov 11, 2011This is an amazing game, it exceeds all my expectation. The game play is amazing, the best part is the online gaming and that is free. BF3 should do very well against MW
-
Nov 11, 2011Le jeu est trop bien un truc de ouf surtout le multi et la coop (parsque le solo c'est pour donner un avant gout) mais sinon les 4 classes et les armes sont trop top les graphismes sont les 2eme meilleur du jv apres uncharted mais c'est de la bombe ce jeu un truc de ouf.
-
Nov 11, 2011better than mw3 in every way!! so pissed i waisted money on mw3 just to play with a few friends, that are now switching to battlefield 3. everything about this game is better the size the scale the maps. they like snipers unlike any call of duty game. never owned aa battlefield game till this one, i have really missed out, this game is so sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nov 11, 2011The best FPS of 2011. Servers, weapons balanced, team work, vehicles, destruction, jets, amazing sound effects, this game is TERRIFIC. Battlelog is always ON to meet friends and search for tips to increase your gameplay.

Nov 11, 2011It's awesome. i was a call of duty diehard fan, and this was so refreshing. the multiplayer gives so much freedom and is very fun!!!!!!! I won't go into any details, but get this game instead of mw3 like my friend did! it is the same as mw2, or more like mw2.5. just an expensive map pack.
-

Nov 12, 2011A near perfect shooter. I like to put it this way: The Call of Duty games are great, awesome, fantastic fun, and Battlefield 3 is FAR SUPERIOR!! A few minor glitches and limitations prevent this game from being perfect. Newer players beware there is a serious learning curve here and it takes awhile to unlock most of the best items/equipment/attachments. 9.5/10
-
Nov 12, 2011I never thought that a shooter exceed the MW, but Battlefield 3 has been filled and exceeded my expectations in every way, without dimensions scenes that make you feel in the game.
The online and co-operatives are well made and small wars carried out in Rush mode are great. -
Nov 13, 2011Graphics: 9.5
Sound: 10
Gameplay: 9.5
Presentation: 9
Lasting appeal: 10
OVERALL: 10
Battlefield 3 offers an unforgettable, world-class multiplayer. Great visual and the single-player campaign is great. -

Nov 13, 2011I can't understand why this has such a low score.. Shooter of the year by far, 100% better than Call of Duty in every way. Story isn't great, but Call of Duty's isn't either.
-
Nov 13, 2011great game dice and EA Went all out all out for the fans.. great servers, good people online, no people calling you out your name. Just a great example of what you can accomplish with a great idea and put it to good use.. thanks EA, Thanks Dice for showing activision how to do it
-
Nov 13, 2011it's a great game with excellent multiplayer. the solo is very good and the COOP mode as well but unfortunately too short I recommend this game 100% (sorry I don't speak english verry well )

Nov 14, 2011Simply excellent. Well polished and well developed! The campaign is teasingly short (but then again, these games are built for the multiplayer now, and the campaign is developed as a trainer) but the graphics, sound and charater movement are flawless and set a great standard in the FPS realm. Cheers to EA for delivering to the fans!
-
Nov 20, 2011Altro che mw3, battlefield 3 è il miglior FPS presente sul mercato oggi è veramente innovativo e divertente anche se vi sono presenti numerosi problemi.
-
Nov 15, 2011Best game ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!f!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Nov 19, 2011Brilliant game, bought it day 1 and enjoying it since, so glad that the Bad Company aspect is gone from the franchise because it made the campaign in BFBC1 and BFBC2 seem too immature. Exciting campaign and an even better multiplayer with modes such as Conquest and Rush as well as Squad Deathmatch for those who want to have a CoD multiplayer experience.

Nov 18, 2011I absolutely love this game, If you sat at home and got tired of playing Call of duty for a while and wanted to pick a new game up this is definitely for you. All out warfare actual tactics apply, Honestly one of the most realistic military games i have played, down to the point where even comm goes bad with your squad!
-
Nov 19, 2011Un Gioco epico,con un Multiplayer capace di sorprendere in ogni partita.Peccato solo per il Single,che è corto ma comunque abbastanza piacevole.Il miglior FPS che io abbia giocato in tutta la mia vita.
-
Nov 19, 2011This game is amazing. I enjoyed the singleplayer. But the multiplayer is what you really buy the game for. The guys at DICE know how to innovate the series unlike Cod with its copy and paste formula. These guys actually achieved a war simulator. Multiplayer is fun, people are cooperative, and none of that homophobic, child screaming you'll find in COD.

Nov 20, 2011The last shooter I played was black ops, I accidentally fell upon battlefield 3 beta and I was in awe. I decided to buy bf3 and I have never played or seen a shooter so imense and fun. Some people may not like as it's realistic with shooting and you can't just run in solo and take on 100 people. Well not all the time. But I love it, best shooter ever.
-
Nov 20, 2011I legitimately thought the game was very good. Way better than the garbage that was BC2. However, I wasn't going to give it a 10 until IGN insisted on writing TWO full articles crying about "Metacritic trolling." Sorry not everyone agrees with you, IGN.
-
Nov 21, 2011whose bright idea was the give battlefield 3 a single player campaign? Whatever, its just a plus and it should not damage the games scores at all because the online gaming is just amazing. Will spend days playing this game! MW3 never stood a chance!
-
Nov 21, 2011
-
Nov 21, 2011Now this is innovative and fun game to play for a long time! This game is totally amazing and addicted! The graphic engine is much better than the MW3! Now I know why Battlefield 3 won so many awards! Awesome game!
-
Nov 21, 2011Magnifique jeu... Que du beau boulot réalisé par les développeur... Malheureusement le multi joeur n'est pas entreprenant... Il manque encore ce petit quelque chose qu'il existe dans le multi de COD... Sinon la campagne en elle même est Extraordinaire... Que du bonheur...
-
Nov 21, 2011I really love thus game. It is by far my favorite FPS of all time. The online play is amazingly fun when you have friends who work together with you to play the objective and just have a blast messing around in tanks and choppers. Great game, and will only get better as time goes on.

Nov 26, 2011great graphics, love the freedom factor that you have whether you want to be a sniper or hop in a tank with some friends and just destroy kids, also EA also listens to people and works with the community on fixing certain things.

Nov 29, 2011This game is really good, the graphics are elite for a console. The destruction is so fun to watch, all you'll want to do is blow stuff up. TDM i think is really good, the spwans need some fixing but its not that bad. Overall this is a game to get if you like FPS
-
Nov 30, 2011Very good game. Everything a sequel to Bad Company 2 should have. Love the introduction of Jets into the game... This has the potential for a long lasting game as long as EA don't start ripping people off for DLC like on Call of Duty.. Back to Karkand DLC looks outstanding as well.. For Free :D
-
Nov 30, 2011Battlefield 3 is the best shooter in market. Don't be afraid to buy this game. It's really worth each cent. The war is intense. It's a kind of game that you will play many hours until the next one be launched.

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 25, 2011Everything about this game is better than MW3. The only people who rate this gem of a game poorly are morons who like MW's buggy spawn system and it's dumb killstreaks.
Sure the campaign isn't what people expect, but the multiplayer blows MW's multiplayer out of the water. -
Dec 28, 2011Stunning... Graphics simply gorgeous... sound amazing... the bad side... is the respawn in the Team Deathmach... and de green frame in the game some times appears and this annoying a little bit...
-
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
-
Dec 30, 2011I thought that this game is going to be garbage, but when i played it, it was amazing. It focuses alot more realism and the graphics are amazing. BTW Screw all these people who hates this game.
-
Dec 31, 2011F*** You Guys This game Is awsome BF3 for Life
-
Jan 1, 2012Damn you, guys for making such an awesome game! I can't stop playing it and I never get tired of the ground-shaking explosions everywhere. I feel like I'm in a movie every time I play this, it's so amazing!
-
Jan 4, 2012WOW what a different with MW3 it looks like DICE build a new engine and polished the gameplay (oh they really did it what you cant say about MW3)
this is the best shooter since euh... the BF3 beta! -
Jan 30, 2012Every one of those cod fanboys can say how it has bad controls but they never played the game they say the graphics arent that great they are possibly blind. thsi is a far superior game to mw3 in every aspect graphics realism diversity and gun balance and this game actually has vehicles. buy this game its awsome.

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]
