    Played this game every day with my friends while in high school. Best game in the series so far (2022). I still go back to it to this day. I'm surprised that there is still enough people that support this game and glade we can continue to convince EA to continue multiplayer support although all the servers are now paid by players and EA does not have any public servers anymore.    … Expand

    The 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.

    For me personally, the best BF game that has ever been made. I mean it's from 2011 and it's still good looking, even on console. PC may be even better, but I don't play on PC.
    The story was a bit meh, I mean it's in the middle east, you track down 3 nukes, you find one, one is place in Paris and the last in in NYC. A muslim betrays the US Army, I am shocked, and plans on    10/10, easily.

Enough about the story though. Controls were a bit weird compared to other shooters, since the circle to crouch was replace with R3, which at the beginning was really weird, but once you get into it, very very smooth controls with great gameplay. Weapon designs and sounds were in another league. Call of Duty MW3 looks and sounds cheap compared to BF3. The multiplayer was also the best in the series, very balanced.    … Expand

The graphics were amazing back then and the sound design was superb! One storyline and character trough the whole game feels way better then seperate episodes. Had a blast with this one!!!

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.

    BATTLEFIELD 3 is a different experience in comparison to other shooters of the genre, in a good way. We have graphics that for the time were top-notch. The gameplay overall is fun and the controls easy to use (even in a vehicle).

    The campaign, while it could have had more intriguing characters, was a lot of fun. It was filled with huge moments like buildings tearing apart, earthqueakes, this game is huge in scale. It had some fun missions and all, but nothing that stands-out from other singleplayer FPS. I found it a bit short too.

    The co-op. I played it like twice, it was basically Spec Ops from MW2 but less entertaining. So that's an addition that didn't work out.

    But we all know why we play BATTLEFIELD, the multiplayer. And boy it is good. BATTLEFIELD 3's multiplayer it's a completely different experience in FPS multiplayer. It's extremely addictive and entertaining, you can call in 4 of your friends, form a squad and jump in a tank or a chopper and blow all the map up.
    One of the best multiplayer experiences I've ever played, it doesn't have a big amount of game modes but the ones it has are enough. Plus , the maps are huge and very fun to play at.

    One problem I have is that the game, at least for me, doesn't run that smooth in the PS3. I have seen how fast and paced it runs on PC, the engine is a bit lower in the PS3 so it may not run as good as on PC.

    The multiplayer is definitely a 10/10, the campaign around a 8/10, and the co-op just doesn't matter. But the gameplay is a little lower in PS3. Overall a good gaming experience to buy, maybe not at full price anymore, I think BATTLEFIELD 4 would be better but you can still get a good price along DLC.    … Expand

    The worst campaign I've ever played. Several scenes had me thinking about this review and how I would start by writing that sentence. It was a scripted linear shooting gallery on 'easy mode' and I only got gameover because of sudden unfair damage. Suddden unfair damage was the rule on 'hard' where I had to cancel progress, two chapters in.

Suddden unfair damage was the rule on 'hard' where I had to cancel progress, two chapters in.

    Multiplayer was still fairly active in december 2015, possibly due to winter retreat/holidays. Still, only half of the game modes were consistent, and a few of the trophy-requiring modes were completely abandoned.

    Compared with Battlefield 4: Not as much graphical variation in BF3 but fully functional, BF3 maps feel more oldschool gameplay-focused, BF3 has smaller community and fewer active maps (I feel like I played 10 even with Premium), gameplay almost identical, BF3 has online coop which is abandoned, it's frustrating to load a gamemode and find it is empty so BF3 is mostly variations on deathmatch and rush and capture the flag and conquest and the same few maps.    … Expand

    I 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.

    I 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.

    Por otro lado, es totalmente de imbéciles medir la tallas de los juegos, por otros juegos, acaso hay referentes. Así, si quieren jugar Call of Duty o Bioshock, allí están esas opciones para disfrutarlas; solo que, sencillamente, no se les puede calzar a estos juegos con el mismo zapato dada las diferencias con las que cada juego destaca. Es como si quisieras tratar a una nueva novia de la misma manera que a tu madre, o a tus anteriores novias.

    Personalmente, luego de jugar Turok y Golden Eye con consolas de generaciones viejas, y desde la aparición del playstation 1, me dejaron de interesar los juegos de disparos. De verdad, no tiene gran cosa correr, disparar y recargar, todo a ritmo frenético, o dependiendo del nivel de dificultad. Sencillamente con Battlefield 3 he renovado mis expectativas para los shooter; y lo que es más, me ha obligado a enseñarme cómo deben jugarse los shooter, desde procurar el sigilo hasta coordinar estrategias. La verdad es que el juego te obliga a mejorar, de lo contrario, no podrás obtener mejoras para vehículos y armas.

    Ciertamente me ha costado cerca de tres meses obtener cierto nivel, y así mejorar estadísticas, y más me ha costado acostumbrarme al realismo, la caída de la bala y la mira; pero, hoy por hoy, los momentos que uno puede disfrutar con éste juego son de los más memorables y divertidos que he tenido EN AÑOS.

    Lo que no soporto son a ciertos administradores de servidores, que hacen y deshacen equipos a su antojo; y que, en cuestión de detalles técnicos, de vez en cuando se me buguea obligándome, si no a recurrir al "suicidio" en medio del juego para engendrar, tener que apagar manualmente mi ps3. Tal vez si redujeran los servidores públicos para partidas. Y acerca de los bugs que experimento, tal vez si comprara las expansiones se resuelva...    … Expand

    Battlefield 3 has arguably has the greatest multiplayer experience of the past 10 years. I highly recommend it for someone who has online access, regardless of console. The only disappointing aspect in my mind was the single-player. It has compelling elements, stunning graphics, and top-notch voice acting; but the short campaign will leave solo players yearning for more.

    A 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.

    8.4 out of 10 (rounded off to 8).

    With a sloppy campaign and very troublesome party-play, Battlefield 3 feels lacking. But that doesn't stop this from being a great game. The gameplay feels polished, visuals are amazing (although a bit too... blue), the destructible environments are mind-blowing and the multiplayer is great.

The first thing you will notice immediately is the graphical intensity. BF3 is a stunning game when you play in full HD. The way the game plays is a step away from most fps games as well. If you're near an explosion, not only will you receive the run-of-the-mill ringing noise, but your vision will blur, and you will actually become disoriented, instead of just a white flash and a ring. This realism extends to every aspect of the game, from tanks' shells causing large explosions as well as a large kick-up of dirt, obscuring sight. Guns all sound nice and beefy, and will dynamically change depending on your location, being muffled if you are far away or behind a barrier (an excellent touch). Oh, and I forgot to mention, LENS FLARE EVERYWHERE!!
    Campaign mode, however, is dull, filled with a decent story idea, but characters don't intrigue the player, and there are so many russian stereotypes that you might have a slight accent by the end, if you decide to play all the way to the end. Mission design is also uncreative and boring, doing nothing to keep you hooked. You can save your time and skip it.It won't prepare you for the lunacy that is the multiplayer mode.
    Multiplayer is where BF3 really shines. Maps are massive, partially destructible, and the game modes rush and conquest utilize the size almost all the time (with the exception of a few conquest maps shrunk down due to the maps linear nature). Rush is where I found myself spending most of my time, with conquest in a close second. They're definitely the two most entertaining game modes. There are four classes in BF3, each with its own benefits. I played almost always as the assault class (all around/medic). The three others are: the engineer (vehicle repair/destroying, due to the ability to carry a massive rocket launcher), Support (all around, resupplying teammates, can also destroy vehicles with C4), and Recon (sniper, stealth, also can plant spawn beacons behind enemy lines so teammates can surround the enemy). The four classes work well when you have a full team that understands their roles, and executes them. This, unfortunately, is not always the case. The team that communicates better will win nine out of ten times in my experiences. Each class has its own chain of unlocks as you level up, as well as unlocking more upgrades for each weapon as you use it. You will also receive different camouflage patterns when your overall level increases. It is a smartly designed system that rewards you the more you play, but it will make trying new things less interesting after you have achieved a high level with a certain class/weapon.
    Although there is only a 24 player max, this number of players works well on the smaller maps (operation metro is a particular favorite of mine). The larger maps tend to be dominated by vehicles usually. The ability to spawn on squad members is a great feature that really enhances team play. Also, for performing certain tasks in battle, you will receive ribbons for your achievements, worth 200 xp each. After you have accumulated a certain number of a particular ribbon, you will receive a medal, worth a massive amount of xp. This, accompanied by the dog tag system, make for even more depth in the multiplayer. Your player wears 2 dog tags, standard at first, but they become more personalized as you progress. You can take opponents' tags with a stealth knife kill, and you can view your collection in the menu, however the interface for this is rather poor. Small gripes of the multiplayer include the lack of tutorials for flying jets and/or helicopters, both of which are extremely intimidating to beginners, as well as your soldier's inability to walk over two centimeter high concrete slabs that remain after tanks have destroyed the building.
    Battlefield 3 excels in multiplayer, but is lacking in a solid campaign mode, overall completely worth your money, as it is the premier shooter on consoles in my mind.    … Expand

When you think about it you working together could be the cause of winning or loosing. I feel that Dice made a very strong game and really like that they keep on making updates, patches and DLC (downloadable content), to supply you with new content like maps and also guns. The only thing that I believe that they could have improved upon was making it so that the damage of the bolt action snipers would kill in one hit, but only if you hit the person above the waste. It just felt like the snipers were pretty under powered, because the final sniper still only killed in one hit if you hit them in the head. (if a sniper fires a 50cal. round then even a few inches away from the body would rip the flesh right off of them. This I felt was like smacking all snipers in the face when a realistic game wouldn't be realistic towards snipers) I believe that their reason was that they did not want to make the snipers over powered, but instead they made them under powered. Over all It is a great game and I recommend it. Just know that if you like to snipe the rifles might make you mad when you hit someone in the upper chest and they do not die. Lastly the story was about an 8.5/10 in my opinion.

The multiplayer is where it shines as always. Dice's frostbite engine makes the battlefield come to life, 32 player battles on destructible environments is amazing. I feel the maps affect your play style, for example maps like metro will put your CQC to the test, shotties & SMG's can rule the battlefield; the battle centers in the tunnel while a team can be pushed outside to the buildings outside of the train station, the other can be pushed furthe in. Other maps will require you to learn how to use a Heli, Jets, Tanks and transport. Bullet drop makes sniping rewarding when you have determine distance & timing. Unlike COD, shooting and getting those hit ratios or headshots at long distances requires actual practice. The one man army or Rambo's don't stand a chance here, trick shots neither, BF3 is a game for serious shooter fans IMO. This game requires actual teamwork for you to get an upperhand in matches, battles are some of the most intese I have experienced in any shooter up to date. Tons of unlockables, huge maps & a good selection of vehicles to choose from (when players are not spawn camping vehicles). Co-op & single player campaign: Co-op I would only recommend for unlocking certain weapons (or just pay for them on the PSN store & save time) & sp campaign is nowhere near as good as BC's.... not even worth mentioning.... it's that bad. Pros:
    -Maps are huge.
    -Tons of unlockables (dogtags, weapons, attatchments, vehicle abilities & camo).
    -Intense squad based battles.
    -Graphic look beautiful.
    -Vehicles (finally jets on consoles)
    -DLC support is great (introducing new vehicles & weapons).

    Cons: -VoIP Chat is buggy
    -Vehicle Dominance is a big thing... one great chopper pilot can destroy a whole team, this is rare but it happens & when it does it's bad news even when you are on the winning team. There's a term for these type of situation but it's not appropriate for me to use the phrase in my review lol... Base*****.
    -Hit detection can be buggy at times too.

    So that is why I give it a 9 out of 10. Suggestions I have would be to improve VoIP chat on the next installmen & give the next entry more Beta testing time in order to avoid bugs because when we purchased at launch we ended up with a few game breaking bugs.

The singleplayer game...LOL...what singleplayer game? That is irrelevant when it come to Battlefield. Multiplayer is the reason to play this game. It's deep, fun and epic. Just don't take you run-and-gun tactics here. But here is my biggest complaint: the DLC. I bought this game for Christmas 2011, and last year they re-released the game with Premium. That's right, you get the game and Premium (all DLC) for $60 now. Everyone else must pay $50 for Premium. That's a total of $110 we spend. That's what I don't like about EA. But anyway, now is a perfect time to get it. The past is past. Oh, and if have a behemoth of a PC, you should get the PC version instead. Not that the console games are bad. I don't have a powerful PC, I have the PS3 version, yet both are good where they are.… Expand

    With its superb graphics and excellent Frostbite 2 technology, Battlefield 3 delivers an excellent gaming experience and is a must-buy for any first-person shooter enthusiast.

    Another great war game here. The campaign to the game had some kind of spark to it, which is what I was looking for.

The multiplayer in these games though feel the same other than the new jet improvement, which would be the best improvement to the game. I enjoy the co-op feature, and the multiplayer is spectacular. The only problems I have with this game is, the campaign even though I said it was good, needed a little more to it. It didn't spark AS MUCH as Battlefield Bad Company 2 did. If you wanted to play this game, just spend your money and get it. It is truly a DICE masterpiece. It deserves a lot more than what it is credited for. DICE, you have done it again.… Expand

    I wasn't a fan of first person shooters until I tried Bad Company 2, which was a unique experience compared to the Call of Duty that I tried before and I disliked.

So when this game came out I decided to get it. The first thing you notice is how beautiful this game looks even on a console! The lighting, the graphics, all make it realistic and alive. The campaign was not that good, it seemed that you heard about it all before, other shooters have already done something similar to that story, and that was disappointing. The campaign of Bad Company 2 was good, but this one, not so much. Go to the multiplayer though, and it seems like a whole new game! The multiplayer experience is just amazing, the way the game modes are structured, the beautiful maps, the wide variety of weapons make Battlefield 3's multiplayer the best one I have ever played. You can choose between four classes while playing online, and unlock different weapons and specializations for it. You need to follow the role of your class, and don't do whatever you want as this is a team based game and playing as a team will offer you the ultimate experience. There is where the game is different than Call of Duty, where everyone is playing for himself, and thinks about himself only. In this game it makes you feel like you are in a real battlefield, and you contribute to the result of the game. The story might not be that good, but you should definitely get his game for its multiplayer. If you want to get a first person shooter, this is the choice you should follow.… Expand

    In my opinion, it would be nice to have some offline multiplayer or co-op capabilities like that in CoD, but no other game I've ever played comes even half as close to the immersive online world that Battlefield presents. In short, is the only FPS game I ever need to play online. It's just that good

    I really think this is the best FPS out there at the moment. COD doesn't even come close to how much depth this game has in the multiplayer. If you don't want to get around on foot, you have all the land and air vehicles. You can spend most of your time in vehicles if you want to. I think I have about 150 hours up in this game, and I don't think I'll be stopping any time soon. The latestI really think this is the best FPS out there at the moment.

    Beautiful graphics and amazing gameplay. Campaign is ok ( I wish there were more missions ) and worth the 8 hours needed to complete it. Co-op campaign helps increase the fun and is more harder than the regular campaign. The real fun is in the multiplayer.

    Battle Field 3 has amazing graphics you will immense yourself in the game once you figure out the controls and settings so those of you COD fans that are looking for something more in a first person shooter this is it!! As for whoever gives it a shot please give it a few hours of multi-player crashing jets and blowing up tanks, jeeps and helicopters to get used to it I know a few of my fellow friends that can agree with me on this.

    Battlefield 3 is worse than Bad Company 2. Yes the graphics are better and the campaign although shallow is his storyline is good but what makes it worse is the multiplayer. It's that it's bad but it's just not good enough. The loadout menus are confusing and completely unintuitive and the maps are just not better than Bad Company 2.

    First of all, the campaign greatly sucked. Just felt like Call of Duty: too short, too linear and a hollywoodian cheesy story. Now, let's get to the real thing: multiplayer: the gameplay is truly one of the most intense FPS experience I've ever had (even with the lack of destruction). Add to that eye-candy graphics and life-like SFX, you have what's potentially the best war simulator ever.

    Why a 0? Input lag simply causes too much interference on to many occasions. It is pretty ridiculous that something as essential as aiming in a FPS is troublesome... Worth the buy? No.

    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.

    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]
