    This 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.

    The 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.

The maps are enormous, vehicles are incredible and the visuals and audio are tremendous. I didn't like the multiplayer when id first played it but I stuck with it and now I can't stop playing it. Running to an objective whilst a tank has just toppled a building, jets are having dogfights in the air and bullets are whistling past your ear from God knows where is just an exhilarating experience. 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. BF3 has really pushed the limit on what the current generation of consoles can do, a true masterpiece.… Expand

    This game sucks hard. Squads doesn't work, microphones cuts in and out and the servers is laggy as hell. Just buy MW3 if you're thinking about buying new FPS game.

    About as much fun as treading dog sh*t all over your new carpet.

    Dull, Dull, Dull!

    Everyone raves about the graphics, yet calls MW3? I don't get it, this looks inferior to all 3 iterations of MW3 that Gregory has played! But to be fair, they're both negative and glorify death!

    Avoid this dreary negative tat. Buy a nice family game with Christian values!!

The single-player story is one with many sympathetic and memorable characters in extraordinary circumstances. More importantly, it's a story that pays respect to America's Armed Forces and to the selfless sacrifices made by the soldier.

    There isn't much to say about this game, it looks better on PS3 than Xbox but the campaign is slow, multiplayer is terrible (not sure why you all think its fun) and the additional side games are of no interest. Glad I rented this. On another note, bought MW3 obviously and have missed 3 straight days of classes because of it. Game of the year for sure.

    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

    Oh man...modern warfare 2 does not offer this. It only gives you kill rushes. Thats it. And im sure mw3 does the same. I...cannot accept this over the massive stimulation I get from battlefield 3. I get less kills, but The overall experience is better.

    People who complain about battlefield 3 cuz of the single player campaign, snipers, people hidden in rubble that look like dead bodies are a bunch of **** who bring down a good game. So, what do you want...fking to have men rush you like monsters do in power rangers so you can get your easy kills? 

    I don't give a **** about bf3 single player. Bf3 isnt about singleplayer. Its all about the multiplayer, and all you **** who think ps3 graphics sucks for bf3 are a bunch of ****. Graphics dont always make the game---hence why bf2 from 2005 is still the king over all these games. Bf2 is the true call of duty killer, and I fking hate it every time I see a little bc2 **** with a bc2 dog tag playing bf3.

However based on the trailers of Battlefield 3 I felt this was a must try game so I rented it and Oh My God I was blown away. I started wit the single player because I wanted to get a feel for the game before embarking into the multiplayer. The single player is absolutely amazing my only gripe about it is that it is a bit short. But the story is great, the graphics are mind blowing, the guns are realistic the sounds make you think you are actually on the battlefield. It is a truly a gaming experience that can't be missed.

    Once I beat the single player I jumped in to the multiplayer and I am still discovering that part of the game. So far I have stuck to team deathmatch and its a beauty. The maps are beautiful and fun to play I cant get over the sheer realism this game has. To me Call of Duty looks like a cartoon even on a 1080p tv. But Battlefield looks photo-realistic and true HD. Its amazing they can make a game look like this on a 6 year old console (ps3). The online also has a game mode called conquest where you can get in tanks, vehicles, jets and etc. as well as be a ground troop. I havent played that much as I said I am sticking to team deathmatch right now.

    There is also a co-op mode that you can play with a friend online. Overall this game rocks. Its worth 60 dollars and you wont be disappointed    … Expand

While the PC version of Battlefield 3 is superior in all aspects to the console versions, that's not to say they are not bad, in fact they are great in their own right. The single player is the average fare you get with modern military shooters, while enjoyable it's not something you would want to play twice unless you're going for trophies. I also have a slight problem with how the U.S. Marines are portrayed in the single player. The co-op is very enjoyable with a friend, but with only six missions, it leaves much to be desired. The multiplayer is the bread and butter of all fps games and Battlefield 3 makes the most out of what its got on the consoles. While the destruction of the Frostbite 2 engine is good, it feels a little subdued compared to the house toppling destruction of the Bad Company series, although the Back to Karkand expansion maps are supposed to rectify that this December. Nearly all the weapons in the game feel balanced so that you could do no wrong choosing any of them. The jets are fun and all, but aerial vehicles in general have a steep learning curve and the jets really takes you out of the action as there are only 24 players on consoles. The game modes while few are superb and the maps are very nice looking and varied. Every kill seems to have weight to them compared to other modern military shooters, you feel accomplished after killing someone and taking a dog tag is oh so sweet. The only thing DICE could have done better with Battlefield 3 is if they changed the default voice option to team chat since I find that many people don't know how to change the chat settings or are too lazy to change it. This game begs for teamwork and if you can't hear your teammates other than the ones in the squad, how can you truly work together as a whole? The suppression system in my eyes is revolutionary, no longer will players in Battlefield take on bullets like Superman, no right minded person would not flinch after feeling bullets fly past them. Nothing is more exhilarating than firing back at an enemy when your screen is blurry from the bullets flying around everywhere. Battlefield 3 is a must buy for hardcore shooter fans period.

Battlefield 3 tiene una campaña bastante mala, sin duda, pero no te lo vas a comprar para jugar al modo historia.
    Su modo multijugador es uno de los más competitivos hoy en día, que huye de las partidas rápidas y sin sustancia del COD para traernos unos combates donde la coordinación y el trabajo en equipo son tan necesarios como la habilidad individual.

    Graficamente es muy bueno y aunque no llegue al nivel del PC hay que reconocerle que por momentos es espectacular. El sonido merece una mención a parte con los efectos más realistas de disparos que se hayan escuchado en un juego.

    En conclusión no es juego para todos pero sí para aquellos que busquen un reto y más aun si lo juegas con amigos, entonces la diversión se dispara.

BF3 sets itself apart from Modern Warfare 3 (MW3) with its ambition (giant maps, land/sea/air vehicles, and new weapon enhancements) and focus. Games are won by accomplishing objectives and both winners and losers come away with at least some progress.

    The single player campaign is nothing ground breaking but is a nice appetizer for the online multiplayer main course. The modern FPS is, for better or worse, mostly about leveling and grinding for better weapons so this game is definitely not always "fair" for all players (at least not in the Counter-Strike or Team Fortress 2 sense), but it's definitely a more level playing field than MW3's. It towers over MW3 in every sense, even on the PS3 (which is the version I'm speaking of specifically). You might not have time to play every FPS this year, but this one should definitely be one of them. A remarkable achievement, don't miss it.    … Expand

    Mapas enormes com poucas pessoas, você não consegue enxergar seu inimigos pois eles estão longe demais e quando vc finalmente encontra não consegue atirar por causa da dificuldade de controlar os movimentos exagerados da mira (mesmo mudando a sensibilidade). Se você diminui a sensibilidade seus movimentos ficam lentos, mas quando vc aproxima a mira os movimentos ficam rapidos demais, ou seja, não há um balanceamento na mira que faça você ficar confortavel tanto mirando quanto não mirando e o que parece é esse jogo não foi feito pra se jogar com um Joystic.
    O som esta mt pobre comparado ao BC2, os bugs ainda existem e me frustram.....o jogo todo foi uma decepção.

Second, is the issues on multiplayer like, unbalanced weapons, low weapon damage, game latency and last but not forgotten is the horrible respawning problem. "Unbalanced weapons" An example of this is the PP-2000 out gunning a Shotgun at close range enough said! "Low weapon damage" Nothing drives me more crazy than wasting an entire Mag on someone to kill them, I mean come on 15-31 rounds into someone standing still before they die is just stupid! "Game latency" proof of this as most people knows who have played the game is while taking fire you run for cover only to be killed once you've made it around a corner or behind an object by the same player who was shooting you to begin with. And now to the worst of them all is the awful "Respawning" for TDM. I can not count the amount of times I have been killed because I have been spawned right into the sights of an enemy and shot dead before i could even hit the run or shot button. I am giving this game a 7 because of these issues and a few others. I ama little disappointed in this game but it is better the most of its competitors and its good to see that DICE is taking the proper steps to correct these problem. It's not often you see the developers listen to their customers and fix the problems these days. Good Hunting out there!… Expand

    Upon entering the single player campaign you'll probably be thinking two things... "I hope this is fun" and "Oh em gee let's skip this cutscene..." The game spits you into the back of an APC with your comrades engaging in conversation before being greeted by the sun as you step out onto the dusty street of a war torn bazaar. The graphics. The graphics. The graphics are nothing short of great-to-look-at, especially on a high definition TV, the sound quality is even better! Well, the presentation of the look and sounds is just fine, but what about the experience itself? Being perfectly honest, the Battlefield 3 campaign is lacking. Although it incorporates the different styles of play battlefield has been known for, it removes the freedom of play and destruction we all know so well. So anyway, you're prodded along by a stick of gunfire and yelling soldiers through the narrow corridor of offline gameplay, and pretty soon you'll be getting sick of that stick, trust me.

    On the other hand, the online action is remarkable. In a good way. Kicking it off you have a small, yet diverse array of weapons and gadgets at your disposal. Leveling through the ranks you'll broaden your horizon in regards to options of combat utensils, and there's even upgrades for each of the vehicle types. The maps are of a large scale, yet still comfortable when made smaller for Team Deathmatch and Squad vs Squad game modes, environments are diverse and real enough to be made into your comfortable second home, at least for awhile. Unless you're a powerleveling experience whoring beast of victory, it should take at least a few months to progress through the main levels of experience, with the top level being 44. After 44 levels you'll enter the prestige state of leveling, you'll gain a new emblem and it will take more experience to level up, but you'll still retain your unlocks. I got really bored and I can't be bothered to continue the review. Anyway, it's a fun balanced game with a couple bugs which will be ironed out, and the singleplayer is not that good.    … Expand

    The single player of this game, to me, was pretty bad. It was very much on-rails in terms of how often you lost control of your character so you could watch yourself move into a specific position for a quicktime event. I don't mind a well done quicktime event, but being shuffled around and then be asked to simply "Press Circle" does NOT make me feel integrated to the experience.

I don't mind a well done quicktime event, but being shuffled around and then be asked to simply "Press Circle" does NOT make me feel integrated to the experience. If you are going to put quicktime events in, you have to make it an experience where for every motion you do on screen, there is a relevant button press or sequence. Call of Duty, for all that people discredit it, perfected these sequences in MW1-MW2. Considering that BF3's single player is completely ripping off the CoD formula, I don't think it would be too much to ask to go that extra mile. The multiplayer is the bright spot here, even though I have a feeling that the 30fps is only something consoles achieve in an empty server with nothing going on. Once the flashlights are tweaked, it will be a fairly balanced experience. Well, as balanced as a Battlefield experience can be. While some of the classes are decently equipped to take on vehicles, the fact of the matter is that the playing experience in a vehicle far exceeds being a typical soldier. Your opportunity to actually get on a roll is far easier in a tank than it is on the ground. Considering how many rockets it can take to blow up a tank, things get a little hazier on the ground. This is still the most complete package of a Battlefield product we have seen yet. I hope they continue to tweak it to make it a better playing experience (the input lag on PS3 is very annoying), but it is still a very worthy purchase despite its several flaws. Basically, this is a good game that just got too much hype for the way it turned out.… Expand

The maps are huge & the different modes of gameplay offer something drastically different & new from Modern Warfare. If you are having a hard time w/ team deathmatch, take a breakfrom that & fire up a round of conquest (those are the full-blown war maps where you can fly jets & helicopters or drive humvees troop transports or tanks all of which "level-up" as you score kills with them). Team Deathmatch strips the experience of the vehicles & tightens up th environment a bit in order to keep the action from going into a lull the maps still seem a bit larger than those found in Modern Warfare which is nice as that provides one more options for mounting an offense because it's almost impossible for a team to cover every flank. There is room for improvement however. Between matches you aren't allowed to customize your loadout, only view that round's statistics, awards & other entertaining but ultimately unimportant information. Also the spawn points in team deathwatch are still a bit punishing even w/ all the recent updates that have been released since the game has come to market. Learning the aircraft & their controls takes practice, be ready to get shot down a lot by the other "Aces" in the match. A bit of advice is to ride w/ someone who has more experience so you can rack up xp. In a round I leveled up my attack chopper 4 times because the pilot was experienced.

    If you're looking for something new & different from MW3 this is a breath of fresh air.

The gameplay is still great with the FROSTBITE 2 engine,the accuracy is full and so is the range and lots of destruction and explosions. The multiplayer is endless and unlocking things is individual,every gun has to unlock it's own attachments and ranking up will take a while.I think also that this is why I keep coming back to get new unlocks and attachments.Melee kills are now worth taking dog tags the player can now choose which dog tags they want but the player has to unlock them but if you melee kill you can preview the unknown locked dog tag.If you struggle getting points that's because you have to do the objectives you get tonnes of points for completing and attacking objectives.The customizability is emmence I mean you can now customize your gun entirely compared to BATTLEFIELD:Bad Company 2 which is great. The single player is good not great.It's totally different than multiplayer the plot has been seen recently from the games competitor(Call of Duty:Black Ops) the story is interesting and idle and the places and missions are cool.

    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.    … Expand

Enemies seeing you as soon as you pop up, even if they're focused on another person, quicktime events and not that much destruction, the campaign is not worth the price of this great game. No, the reason to get this game is the fantastic, addictive multiplayer. This isn't like Call of Duty. You have to work as a team and support them. And there are a lot more ways to get points. Healing your team/squad, reviving your team/squad, resupplying your team/squad, arming and destroying the objective in Rush, neutralizing and capturing the flag in Conquest, assisting with the neutralizing or capturing of the flag, having a squad mate spawn on you, assisting in a kill, assisting in a suppression kill, and of course killing an enemy. I probably didn't even name every way to get XP in this game. There are a ton of weapons in this game, and choosing classes makes the game incredibly balanced. In assault you have the ability to revive other players and heal them and yourself with a medkit, whereas other classes don't. In engineer you have access to the launchers, so you can easily blow up buildings, vehicles etc. with ease. In support you can resupply other players and yourself with ammo and in recon you have access to the spawn beacon which lets you place another spawn point so you can spawn exactly where you want. There are always advantages and disadvantages to each class which makes the game a joy to play. I do have a few problems with the multiplayer. You don't get much of a chance to drive or pilot many of the vehicles in the campaign, and the manual is absolutely terrible not giving you any help on the vehicle controls, which can be frustrating when you are trying to pilot a plane for the first time. My other problem is that this game is two camper friendly. I was playing conquest on Gulf of Oman and when I tried to capture the construction site flag, I was killed by a sniper all the way up in the crane. I eventually got my sweet, sweet revenge by climbing the flag and killing that guy, and at the same time I took his camping spot just to annoy him. I really wish that grenades would have a greater impact, because I could easily destroy a camping spot with a grenade, and there needs to be more destruction. Other than that the multiplayer is fantastic.The sound is incredible and really immerses you even more. You'll here every bullet whizzing by you at lightning speed and it just amps up the tension in a multiplayer game. The graphics are also incredible and are incredibly detailed and realistic. This is one of the few games that looks as good as it does in single player as it does in multiplayer. Overall Battlefield 3 is a great game. There are some problems, the campaign, camping in multiplayer, the basically useless manual, and the fact that there is no help on how to use the vehicles. I still can't fly a jet. But the good certainly outweighs the bad and Battlefield 3 simply has some of the best multiplayer in a video game.… Expand

The campaign is really good, better than any Call of Duty campaign. The skydiving scene was awesome. The co-op was also good, but not as good the campaign or multiplayer.

On the negative side, chat quality is a little bit bad and the game occasionally lost its audio in the middle of the battle. The game maps are big, although not as huge as the PC version, but they are bigger than any other game of its type for PS3 (sometimes they feel a little bit empty). This game does not have dedicated servers like in the PC version.

So when I went looking for my next fps game, I decided to try out Battlefield 3 because I had heard that it was more focused on team gameplay and because of vehicles. I am very happy with my purchase. Yes, the campaign is mediocre, but the multiplayer more than makes up for it. Having only played Black Ops before, I was astounded by the destruction and vehicles that are found on the battlefield. There is little that is more fun than shooting a rocket into a second story wall, causing it to crumble down on top of the foes hiding at the base. The maps are much larger than maps that are in Call of Duty, and although you can spawn on squadmates, often times it will take time to get back to the fight after being killed. I don't mind this, but I can imagine that many people who are used to the quick trigger reflexes of COD will dislike the waiting. Battlefield 3 plays slower, but is no less intense. Several of the maps are designed specifically for infantry play, and these foster some incredibly fun moments.

    Overall, I find Battlefield 3 to be a great game for it's multiplayer. Don't buy it for the singleplayer, but it's a good game nonetheless.    … Expand

    I've played almost all the battlefield games since 1942 and i must say, this is amazing, Multiplayer simply excelled my expectations. Don't expect the graphics of battlefield 3 on the PS3 to be super high resolution than our lovely PC platform since the PlayStation is something like 7 years old. The game runs smoothly, with some hiccups. Great maps, decent selection of guns. overall Awesome game.

It sucks most of the time, with loads of frustrating moments when you don't know where the shooting comes from and constantly die. And that's not realistic, it's just plain annoying. The singleplayer campaign tries to present itself as a Call of Duty-style rollercoaster ride, but only manages to do that in the last level, which actually helps to leave an overall positive impression.

    About co-op: It's there just for show, and is mostly as frustrating as the singleplayer, it might not be ignored just to get some weapons for the multiplayer.

    About multiplayer: It's where the game shines. Carefully balanced, it's going to hook you up for a while. Featuring seemingly quite few modes, they're all the game needs. It's always fun, whether you're going in close quarters with a shotgun, sniping people from the distance, flying by in a jet, or destroying buildings with a tank.

    So, an awesome game, definitely worth picking up. I bought the limited edition (so with the Back to Karkand pack) and I don't regret it at all, the new maps and weapons are great.    … Expand

    If you ask me, which is better, Battlefield 3 or Modern Warfare 3? Well, I would say Battlefield 3. Maybe Battlefield 3 campaign is a letdown, Battlefield is a multiplayer game. It haves a legendary multiplayer, and amazing graphics. A successful threequel I can say, because It's strategic and It haves well designed maps.

Unlike games such as call of duty, me constantly dying never once frustrated me, I seemed to just laugh and brush it of as battlefield 3 allows you to enjoy the realism and scale of the multiplayer modes. However, I was again disappointed as maps as well as the amount of people per match were scaled down on consoles compared to the PC but that too was expected. Nonetheless, I must argue that if you have no one to play this with, just try rent it, as said, this is a team based multiplayer game, and with most team base games, you need at least a few friends or just the one to keep you satisfied.… Expand

    Hello you lot. So you want to know whether BF3 is worth the money? The short answer is absolutely!! However, as you can read in all the other reviews no game is "perfect". All i will say is that compared to MW3 which is criminally lacking in originality, EA have not sat on their laurels but instead made an even better game.

SP>>>The Single player is NOT why you buy BF3. If you did, well maybe you are new to the franchise. Let's consider it an "extra" and leave it at that, it gets a 6/10 but it is by no means a bad SP , its jsut that compared to the MP it is linear, short and a little awkward - its just a different type of game a bit like when we all used to buy COD back in 2003 for the SP set in WW2, a little extra should not be so highly criticised in my humble opinion. MP>>>>>WOW. No other word comes close. It is at the same time, immersive, intense, exciting, rewarding and extrememly finely balanced. It allows you to adapt your skills, pick your way or charge in and the maps, which make or break an MP (see MW3 as an example of how bad maps can be the death of a game) are STUNNING. I dont want to bore you any more than this - for the first time in a while i dont feel ripped off, i feel like i paid good money for good work. It is a very rare thing to say that in the gaming industry these days....so pick up your rifle, your kit, get on that chopper and take the war to the enemy - you won't be disappointed. 9.5/10… Expand

I was planning to buy CoD MW3 but it sounds like the staleness continues and I'm happy with Battlefield 3 so will probably pass. I really enjoy the class system used online and the gameplay overall. The maps are far more interesting than CoD maps have been. The perks for each class are divided up wisely and gives you the option to play strategically with your teammates if you want, but you can still go all Leroy Jenkins if the mood strikes and still have a lot of fun.

    There are some bugs for sure, but nothing that ruins the game. I have yet to see a guy shooting me from underneath the map or inside a boulder like what always happens with CoD. I will be looking forward to patch updates to correct some things, especially Team Deathmatch spawn points. There is one particular map in Deathmatch where you can't spawn without being shot in the back 5 seconds later, but most of the other maps don't have as much of an issue because they're pretty large. The Battlelog web site is useful for keeping track of leveling/unlocks/stats and adds to the experience quite nicely. Overall I really enjoy the game and glad I made the switch.    … Expand

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 graphics are a mixture of awesomeness and disappointment. The lighting system is really impressive, however I hate fighting when it's dark as everything blends together. Moreover many elements seem fuzzy and pixelated. Character animation is very good.

    Multiplayer is great - addictive and focuses on team play. If you have played a lot of CoD before, you need some time to get use to the new way of playing. You actually kill less frequently and have to think more about your strategy, however this in return gives you more satisfaction. For example, team deathmatch is actually TEAM deathmatch, as opposed to CoD, where it's usually "every man for himself".

    Vehicles add a lot to the gameplay. Classes are balanced nicely and actually force some players to think tactically.

    Overall, the game is pretty good, it's just a shame that the campaign is a disappointment.    … Expand
