Dec 23, 2011Excellent graphics, great sound, good control, fine detail, but it is very boring, all missions are slow and not get excited, if not for the trophies or achievements makes no sense
-
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.
-
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 21, 2011I am reviewing this on the campaign only, which is soooooo boring. I played the Modern Warfare campaign before this and that was outstanding but compared to a game that is in the future it shows that Battlefield might have a great multiplayer but the campaign laxks something.

Dec 18, 2011Campaña normalita, peor que en bad company 2, multijugador excelente, en mi opinión mejor que call of duty. Motor gráfico con altibajos, malas texturas pero muy buenos efectos de luz y destructividad de los escenarios.

Dec 16, 2011Battlefield 3 and Dice step up and in my mind easily top COD: MW3. The new Frostbite 2 engine enhanced the graphics and physics in the game. The story is good but it is to short to me and this is the main reason it got a 9 instead of 10. The multiplayer is great and is very easy to get into the game unlike COD were it has taken me over 10 minutes to join a COD online game. It is the better buy.
-
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 15, 2011This game looks amazing on ps3. The multiplayer was fine the graphic are fine and the story was fine too. The only thing i hate about it that multiplayer was a bit glitchy. Still the game is amazing.

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 12, 2011Battlefield 3 is Amazing "IF" you have friends to play it with. Without a squad you'll probably win 4/10 Games. So if you have friends that bought Battlefield 3 play with them it's Really fun
-
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 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 6, 2011This was worth a $3.00 rent at redbox. I played the main story for about 3 hours and was already bored of it. These games are really starting to get tiring. I have no intention to buy this game. There is nothing fun about the game and if you look at the story and game play from an arm length away, it seems like a cheesy B-rated action flick.

Dec 4, 2011Great game, but the removal of bots means it is not perfect. It is absolutely perfect for people who love strategy based tactical shooters. the maps are large and battles are intense. It has great sound, graphics and one of the best FPS i have played. Once again, DICE have made only one mistake, the removal of bots for people who want to take it easy, practice, or have no internet connection.

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.
-
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 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 29, 2011Just got this game on black weekend at best buy for $30. I thought this was going to be a fun game but it is terrible not unplayable but just bad. The campaign was boring and the multiplayer was horrible a campers wet dream. Trying to shoot someone was a chore and almost impossible but what was harder was trying to find someone on the map. Last but not least I'm not Call of duty fanboy

Nov 27, 2011Ok. So Single Player is HORRIBLE considered the last 2 games. Linear game play. Not as much open world, just not what I expected. Not sure about online play, SINCE NOT EVERYONE HAS ACCESS TO INTERNET ALL THE TIME! Disappointment.
-
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 21, 2011a stunning and realistic war simulater as compared to its run and gun rival call of duty, graphically superior and better gameplay if you want a fps i suggest picking up this title

Nov 21, 2011There are many FPS games now, maybe too many? but this one of the good ones. It is so fun when you got a bigger battlefield, makes it even better having Vehicles. It feels more like a military game, better than most FPS.

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 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, 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, 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 20, 2011i like the game a lot. the new engine is a bit iffy, however with a few updates this will be a game worth keeping for years to come. my only complaints are with the engine. the gameplay is spot on. not to mention a sensitivity higher that MW's.

Nov 20, 2011I'm totally addicted to the gameplay of Battlefield 3, the weapons customization makes us play more. Sadly, the campaign putted the game a little down. Looking forward to see the expansion they are going to make.
-
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 20, 2011This is an amazing game, it exceeds all my expectation. The game show how a battlefield really is. Its really good. I dont like the lack of mods and not having 64 players experience on ps3, thats why im giving a 9.
-
Nov 20, 2011Single Player sucks.. i would buy this game if it was just a multiplayer game.. rlly i dont see why they had to made a single player campaign when they can do it properly.

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, 2011The best shooter i have ever played. The multiplayer is just amazing! The singleplayer may be a little bit short, but it's full of action and your really sucked into it.

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 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 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 was complete garbage. The control sensitivity was all jacked up, the button configuration was confusion, and the campaign story was a copied version of a couple of other games, such as EA's 2006 game BLACK and Black Ops. I traded this for Uncharted 3 within hours of playing it. Glad the other guy had no idea how sh!tty a game this really is.
-
Nov 19, 2011what are your people on, this piece of **** is suppose draw every two frames? but it still keeps dropping frames.
killzone 3 draws every 2 frames the game looks great, plays great.
battlefield 3 looks ass, its sluggish. i had low expectations, the were fulfilled by DICE. -
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 17, 2011I've put in about 50 hours in the MP portion and I can safely say this is by far the best shooter that's come out this year..sorry MW 3, not even close.
-
Nov 16, 2011I find battlefield 3 to be one of the most impressive multiplayer games due to the scale and overall leveling system that keeps you engaged throughout your online warfare. The campaign is good but nothing that we havent all ready seen. It has huge setpieces and a linear plot. Battlefield 3 should be on your wish list if you like fps tactical warfare

Nov 14, 2011I'm only going to say two words.
SIMPLY AWESOME!
If you're looking for the true war, stop searching because this is it. I've never seen a multiplayer game with 64 players, everybody working in squads of four to win the battle, it's really exciting! -
Nov 14, 2011Another year and not surprised at all EA has dropped another massive DUMP on those foolish enough to buy this Buggy, steaming pile of CRAP. They will never get a Cent from me, not suckered in by the hype like so many LMAO

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]
