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

    BF 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 :)

    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)

    This game is the FPS of the year. Why? It isnt recycled its completely new DICE put alot of work in it . The SP may not be the best but the Multiplayer comes up for that. Fast paced action , awesome graphics and sounds just makes it feel awesome. I can't get enough of this game. Ridicilous that MW2.5 has a higher score than this masterpiece. Just shows how many CoD kids are "reviewers".This game is the FPS of the year. Why? It isnt recycled its completely new DICE put alot of work in it .

    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.

Jets & helicopters explode around you & its just completely overwhelming what they've achieved with it. I expected a lot & the game has delivered - big time. The beauty is that it will only get better as they always tailor the games balance & iron out any kinks post release. I cant recommend it enough. Game of the year & the servers are going to be rammed until BF4. Bring on Strike At Karkand expasion pack with its even further enhanced destruction! Well done DICE youve outdone yourselves..… Expand

    BF3 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...

    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.

    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]
