Frost bite 2 engine was amazing with the explosions, building effects, and earth quake. In the missions were blackburn was on his own felt intense and gave you a sense of a need to survive. Also the game gives you a chance to do it yourself in mission sections like the F/18 trageting and dogfight, tank mission. Also the multiplayer is amazing with its huge maps and vehicles, weapon unlocks, gameplay. Each map in the multiplayer is unique and fun to play on. The maps give you a chance to think stratigically, flanking your enemy, how to be effective when using the vehicles available to you. Whats new is the team deathmatch its intense and fun to play against the other team. The team deathmatch this new match type gives you a better chance to unlock new stuff for your class kit, leveling up. Battlefield 3 exceeded my expectations in what i expected it to turn out. Expand

    This is a beautiful game. I honestly have not taken the time to get into the multiplayer like I did with BF:BC2, but what I have played has been enjoyable and breathtaking. DICE and EA know how to make some great games. My son liked to play this game, especially for the vehicles. Once I get some more free time, I cannot wait to get back into the multiplayer and level up the classes.This is a beautiful game.

The maps are massive and fun to play, but I must confess that it does allow for some more sniping abilities, and sometimes the colors of the game make it hard to see enemies clearly. It is a beautiful game with precise gameplay. The best current FPS on the market. Definitely and improvement from the lackluster Medal of Honor game from last year! Expand

    Best 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

    I'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"

    A 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)

    The 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.

    Battlefield 3 respresents a series which has been the only real choice if you want variety & scale in your fps games. It introduces new features & animations with a lighting system that just blows you away. This is as good as a game game can look on 6 years old machines no doubt at all. Everything can be blown up & destroyed & you just feel every tank shell & bullet as it drops or flys by.Battlefield 3 respresents a series which has been the only real choice if you want variety & scale in your fps games.

BF3 is the only military FPS you should drop a dollah on...

    BF3 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.

For those switching from CoD, give it a chance if you're not liking it at first. Don't try to play it like you're playing a CoD game because you'll just die over and over. Stick with the game a while and you won't regret it. The single player is solid but I've only played it when my internet has been down, there's simply no incentive to complete it when the multiplayer is so good.

This game has been frustratingly uneventful. All of the intense moments were just mediocre at best. Oh, and being shot by enemies that are nowhere to be found really kills the whole experience. Maybe there is one guy left in the room and you get killed, you get sent back to a checkpoint and find yourself extremely frustrated that you have to clear the entire room again. I know that other games do this as well, but it just seems more frustrating in this game. The characters have no personality differentiation unlike BF:BC2. I know that this game is supposed to be a serious game and all that jazz but it just lacked in every department. It is pretty sad when a gamer really just wants a game to be over. Graphically, the best part of the game was the lighting effects. The lights are incredible. Other than that, EA/Dice did not really update anything. I have been deceived by screen shots. However, the Multiplayer is great. I still do not think that it is as destructible as BF:BC2 but I will take what I can get. IÃ Expand

    A 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

    I 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.

    but enough about the campaign the multiplayer is what battlefield does best its fun its tactical and its teambased. this is a game where you have nice graphics in both the campaign and multiplayer. the frostbite 2 engine does what is does best which makes the game sparkle. this is a game that is worth picking up if your a battlefield fan.

    pros: good multiplayer, nice graphics,and pretty darn fun

    Simply 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!

The multiplayer is by far the most fun I've ever had with an FPS. The level of detail is astounding - the scale, graphical marvels and stellar gameplay. Whether I am playing alone or with friends, this game has killed time like no other. I've owned the game since its release and have barely noticed the days of playtime that I've already put into it. If you aren't use to FPS controls, they take some getting used to, but the control-design of everything from your soldier, to both air and land vehicles, and even to the way projectiles are affected by gravity are all superb - fluent and intuitive. Minor bugs have popped up here and there, though this is almost always the case with newly released online games and luckily none remotely game breaking (some being nothing but amusing); they are being dealt with and fixed anyway. Recommended for experienced and new gamers alike, please give this one a chance. If you are in the least curious about online gaming, I beseech you to give this game a real chance and just see if you don't enjoy it. Expand

I doubt ANYONE played these games for the single player, no matter what the critics say it has no influence in the sales and quality of each game in this day in age. They know what they are and thats a MP experience and if you wanna try support the single player, then you obviously haven't played any other proper single player experience this year as the market is littered with better experiences. Now back to battlefield 3, i'll start with a list of innovations in gameplay and graphics.... The destruction system, while flawed and not red faction, its still really immersive and realistic. Terrain deformation, bit of wall flying off wen trying to hide.... its insane who good it looks. I mean I see a bunch of enemies hold up in one area, fire a rocket above them and the building falls and kills them all. Like wow! It brings new levels of realism and immersion to the experience. The animation system they built is incredible, characters die, move, shoot, you name it, they do it so realistic its makes you stop a marvel at the true innovation they've incorporated here. Vehicles looks amazing, firing a tank in a wooded area and all the trees bend to the shockwave of the force from the cannon.... WHAT GAME DOES THIS! So amazing to watch. Small little innovations to gameplay also to balance the experience are implemented like flashlight blindings, laser sights so blind snipers out of their camping poistion, not to mention the lense flare if the sniper point in scope at you specifically. All these little things help push the genre forward. The sound in this game is unrivaled by ANY game. Just amazing, I feel like I'm in a real battlefield from start to finish of a map and it truly shows what can be done these days. This is the game you show to non-gamers to show them how far games have come and how much room for improvement a lot of games need to make to even come close to competitive with this great title. You can tell they put so much time and effort into a truly deep, immersive and NEW experience than its previous iterations. New engine = yes imo. DICE you've done it again 10/1 Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have to give this game a 10 out of 10, it surpassed my expectations. After hearing the large number of complaints that the campaign was exactly like Call of Duty, but I was surprised to play it and it being nothing like the Modern Warfare games. Where Modern Warfare was based around the US and Russia fighting each other. Battlefield 3 campaign is specifically about fighting a terrorist organisation. Where the only fight against Russians was not open warfare, but Russia trying to take the same target as the US. This being said the excellent graphics and sound complemented it nicely with the Destruction being fun. I was a bit disapointed that the destruction wasn't amped up more and sometimes on some Multiplayer maps, there was less destruction on buildings than the same type of building in others. But this being said, I had allot of fun blowing up buildings.

    Now the Multiplayer, the maps are fun, unlocks excellent the vehicle warfare excellent, just everything A++. I like the jets and helicopters, I'm just a little disappointed that when your flying the transport helicopter the most points you can get is, 10 per gunner getting a kill and that the scout helicopter's machine gun is a little under-powered.

    Overall I have to give it a 10 out of 10 because it's faults are far outweighs by it's positives.

    And if you thinking of buying this or MW3, go look at the user reviews for MW3.

    Let me state first that i have NEVER played a Battlefield game before. i've never sat with someone while they played it. The one DICE game i played was Medal of Honor. Boring campaign, but after playing all CODs since MW i really liked the multiplayer offering DICE put up with MOH. I enjoyed the tactical pacing as opposed to COD's frantic running and gunning. Also, LOVED the sound.Let me state first that i have NEVER played a Battlefield game before. i've never sat with someone while they played it. The one DICE game i played was Medal of Honor. Boring campaign, but after playing all CODs since MW i really liked the multiplayer offering DICE put up with MOH. I enjoyed the tactical pacing as opposed to COD's frantic running and gunning. Also, LOVED the sound. Personally, i became better at COD after playing MOH because i learnt to move better. Of course this may only apply to me.
    Anyway, two days ago, i get my copy of BF3. i fire it up and it throws me into Rush on Caspian Border. As soon as i spawn i'm looking at a tank standing on the asphalt. Immediately there's a loud boom; the tank recoils and kicks up dust. A second later i hear another muffled explosion as the shell hits. i'm already thinking WOW, when a chopper buzzes overhead, machine guns spitting fire. There's a shout over the radio about an enemy fast mover, but i'm too preoccupied with the audio visual assault to catch it. A second later a jet buzzes low, chasing after the chopper. Its now that I start running for cover. DICE has thrown me straight in to a war zone. Welcome to Battlefield.
    I have seen very few sights since i started gaming in the early 90s that made me just sit in awe. This was one of them. And many more followed. I've only played the multiplayer so far, so i cant comment on the campaign. i dont play FPS games for campaigns any more, although i did till MW2. i even played the MW3 campaign, but it didnt have that spark anymore. I'd already seen the washington monument destroyed. Manhattan was just more of the same. And the story was flat out cliched. I dont dislike COD. i've spent many enjoyable months on it, prestiged etc. I even played MW3 multiplayer. But it was almost more of the same. Enjoyable, yes. Amazing, no. Now i'm not especially good at online multiplayer. just average. But a day later, im still enjoying every minute of BF3. i cant wait to get back in the game. And not only because of the visuals. BF3 makes you feel like you're contributing with more than just kills. Spotting, repairing, healing; that's you being part of the team. And you get rewarded for it. IW is good at giving you small, frantic and personal gun fights, DICE is great at making you part of a team. MOH made me feel like part of a squad waging a small tactical battle. But that was just an appetizer for Battlefield 3. This, this is war.

    the campaign is 'not so good' , but this isn't made to be played alone , it's a multiplayer paradise with great guns , great sound , great visuals and whole lot of stuff to blow . and all this plus accurate realism . there is nothing like a perfect head-shot or a perfect dog fight achieved . and even after all those 'good parts' , there is great one , and that's the amount of tactics youthe campaign is 'not so good' , but this isn't made to be played alone , it's a multiplayer paradise with great guns , great sound , great visuals and whole lot of stuff to blow . and all this plus accurate realism . there is nothing like a perfect head-shot or a perfect dog fight achieved . and even after all those 'good parts' , there is great one , and that's the amount of tactics you have to use , you need to think , plot , communicate and be accurate Expand

    Hopefully 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.

    Despite its incredible competitive online play, we can't ignore the shortcomings of its campaign and Co-Op. [Jan 2012, p.66]

    The 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]
