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

    Battlefield 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

I usually snipe, so I just great to set up post like 750 yards out of the middle of the map and snipe away without being detected. I swear this being my first Battlefield game purchase Im def satisfied. There's only one problem the chat doesnt seem to work effectively. But the way this game is built its made to last year for the entire year going into 2012. All building are capable of being destroyed. It felt like I was in Saving Private Ryan when I shot a rocket a Tank and he turn around and blew half the floor out on Seine Crossing. The guns and sounds are live action, especially if your playing with surround sound. Your handgun is capable of taking out two guys with one clips, this is unheard of in COD. These makes the game so more realistic. And the teamwork it takes to win makes the game so much fun, even tho there isnt much communication thru the game b/c I guess the chat system, everyone is usually on course when it comes to the objectives of the game. I was the gunner in the tank and I had a guy driving the take and we were just calling tangos out I would shoot in the direction and he would blow the area up with the M8 shells. Here another cool thing, I ran into a building on Noshahr Canals, I guy parachuted onto the top of the warhouse, it was no way for me to reach him to I just went in the building and blew the roof of, he came falling thru and I shot em dead. There's so many different situations to get kills, its def a fun game to play. Take this from a Socom 2 and 3 player whos's use to 3rdPS and only having one life per round. This is by the most realistic game out there.… 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

The destruction system in the campaign was not as vast as bc2, but is more cosmetic and overall a nice take on modern game physics. It may need polish, but it does a good job of showing off the engines dynamic lighting and physics. The multiplayer is a great experience and free dlc with the limited addition doesn't hurt either. The co-op lacks depth, but its still a fun playthrough with a friend and overall the game is worth its price. The pc version is the best, the ps3 version is great, and the xbox 360 version manages to hold up okay as well.

    On PC Battlefield 3 is incredible. On the PS3, though, it feels clunky. They tried so hard to NOT be CoD that they avoided using some of the things that CoD mastered in multiplayer gameplay. I will keep playing it, but only when I need a break from MW3.

I went out this morning (Tues 8th November) to buy MW3, and I did... brought it home, saw it was THE worst game/biggest disappointment I've ever experienced, took it out of my ps3 put it back in its box and returned it traded it in for batman, so hopefully someone buys that game second hand just so those money grubbing d**ks don't get any more money...

It captured those "Battlefield Moments" like the other day (on Battlefield 3) the attakers on rush had seven death tickets left and we were on our last MCOM station in Rush game mode and I was defending. They set the charge. Oh no Game over i thought but then soomething swept across me; a defiance; a determination to win it for my time and I turned the corner as a wall got blown up next to me shaking the camera and I sprayed a clip into the blurrs I saw on the screen. Then points after points came up. Triple kill, defender, savior e.t.c. I then diffused the charge much to the relief of my team mates and my friend shouted across the mike f***ing awesome. Of course I knew it. But usually you get these moments at least once a match and I love them. The single player although very well executed feels a bit linear and less freedom is given although the storytelling is a lot better than MW's so called "plot". Overall I love this game but if you're looking for an amazing single player experience look elsewhere but to all you online gamers. Ditch the shackles of COD and not only call in the airstrike.

    A good shooter. Which is why it is a 7. While realism has improved dramatically, and it is visually appealing, it only gets a 7 because it is just another shooter. Nothing innovative in the entertainment part of the game, it is just a realistic shooter.

    Im going to be honest here, I never finished the single player. Not because it was bad, it was...decent. But the multiplayer drew me in soon after I got home with the game. I got about halfway through and it was good although more in a history channel special sort of way rather than an action movie. The first co-op mission was good but I couldn't find anyone who didn't crash the helicopter so I didn't get passed the second one, so I don't have alot to say about it.

    Now to the multiplayer. It is...actually not the same as in bc2, it feels different. More focused. Better. The game has a good mix of slow tactical aspects as well as fast paced action with the distinced maps paving the way for very varied gameplay. The classes I feel are more balanced than in really any other BF game to date and I personally like the assault class having the job of medic although it makes the support class less usefull than it used to be.

    Now, there are issues. There is the occasional glitch and I've seen a bit of lag now and then (although not much) I also think that jets with a 24 player count doesn't really add up with the jets spending most of there time dealing only with other jets and every once and a while a helicopter (I have yet to be killed by a jet other than when in one) so they almost seem to take away players from the game. I also think the BC2 helicopter controls were better and in BF3 it really limits there mobility but maybe that's better since I see less dominance than in BC2. One thing I was pleasantly surprised about what the vechicle disabling, I was a little worried about this being almost ineffective when I first heard about it but I think it offers a good way of mixing infantry and vechicle combat.

    Oh and the graphics are very good although not PC level and is honestly a little outshined by the excellent sound (and honestly, the quiet is very impressive in an of itself.)

    Overall I think this is a game that will keep alot of people happy for a very long time especially if DICE delivers on it's "3 times as much DLC as BC2" claim.

Compared to Modern Warfare, Battlefield 3's multiplayer is somewhat slower but can build some tense moments when your team is struggling for an objective to receive more tickets. The classic Battlefield classes are back, which creates more of a team emphasized multiplayer experience and it is not irregular to have a teammate heal you, offer you ammo, or repair your vehicle as there is a point incentive to do so. Vehicles make getting around the large maps easier and enhance the overall experience as jets scream by overhead and tanks roar past you as you try to capture an objective. Although the vehicles provide a unique experience, they also seem to deter the attention of some players as to what the real objectives are. There are two ways in which Dice tries to reduce camping one is a kill cam, and the other, a red triangle that appears above any enemy player who fires their weapon or is spotted by another teammate. Regardless though, due to the large maps, it is inevitable and is an effective skill to be honed. Perks are generally not too overpowering. Overall the multiplayer pace is slower than Modern Warfare's and is less arcade-esc but I am learning this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Due to the slow nature it gives me time to appreciate the details, the pluses and minuses of every weapon. For example when I was sniping from a good distance, I used a faster semi-auto rifle and the accuracy was worse and the bullet drop was greater than when I used the bolt action rifle(keep in mind this is not the case with all the rifles). This usually does not occur in faster paced multiplayer games. Battlefield 3 also endorses more team based play. Giving you points to help your fellow teammates and allowing you to spawn on squad members. This game is great and I do suggest it if you are sick of the same old same old first person shooter.… Expand

The story in the campaign, though, leaves alot to be desired. Very dull and bland. But, nobody is playing this for the campaign anyways. The multiplayer is the major draw and it is phenomenal. Everything feels smooth, intuitive and easy, from bringing up your barrel to aim down the sites to running and jumping through windows (there is some small glitchiness with getting stuck on little things, but it's really not a big a deal). The maps are varied and stunning. The weapons all seem balanced once you level up a couple of times. And best of all, there is little lag and inaccuracy in the hit markers (which is what killed COD for me, Black Ops is literally one of the worst FPS I've ever played). There are a couple of qualms with the MP, though. The inability to cook grenades is annoying, although I can understand the reasoning behind it. The loadouts lack a bit in the customization department. And the menus are a bit counter intuitive (really, I can't just easily jump out of a game at the load screen?). These slight problems, and the lackluster campaign mode, knock it down a bit, but it's still the best FPS I've played in years, and quite possibly the best game I've played in a couple of years as well.… Expand

Its only other contender in MP would be Uncharted 3(Though it belongs to a different genere, the are comparable to a certain extent.). The game play style is team and objective based and not kill based. The key thing that is required is not skill with the weapon, but team bonding and dynamics.

The weapon selection is great. But not everything is perfect. But the complaints are minimal such as some op weapons, knifing, and opponents just doing cheap things. But that's in all games. Also this game opened the flood gates with the different camos proving you don't have to be the same to play, which hopefully leads to full customization in future installments. Good game.… Expand

    This game is a ton of fun and I'm enjoying it more than I ever did with COD. Me and a couple of friends have been playing nightly and its a blast, there's so many epic moments. And don't listen to what critics are saying about singleplayer and bringing the score down. The fact that they even added singleplayer should be a treat enough. Battlefield is and always will be a multiplayer game.

I have to compare it to MW3 as it is the biggest rival. MW3 doesn't even come close to comparison in terms of strategic gameplay, sounds, map quality/size and realism. I don't think they should even be in the same catagory. MW3 is an arcade shooter with the same old stuff as the older games, where as BF3 combines a lot more with a brand new engine. MW3 is just run, shoot, die over and over again. BF3 is: flank, hide in building for a bit, kill some guys, try to find more cover, find a nice sniping spot, help your team mates. The vehicles are quality as well, not to mention all of the equipment like EOD bots. MW3 is a childs version of BF3. Play MW3 if you want to train in ultra fast close combat that may assist you in BF3. When you think you're ready to be a man, get BF3 and get your tactical head on. Buy BF3. I have played both games and used to love both COD and BF. But it seems COD has nothing new, where as battlefield has. Destructable buildings/walls are also lovely in BF3, the shooting realism of actually shooting in front and above a distant running enemy is so good.. Buy it... See for youself.

    Game unlocks will be discussed but since you can view everything from the beginning, I didn't tick the may contain spoilers box. The game is very gripping. Even thou the console version looks dated compared to the pc version which supports 60 player battles. DICE did a wonderful job scaling the action down to fit any number from 24 down to squad 4 vs 4 battles. The action is intense and well balanced. The CQ of BF1/BF2 hoarding is gone with the addition of a flak suit that helps you survive explosive damage. The addition of laser and flashlights to your guns adds a lovely balance between distraction and if you use it you can give your position away. The way all the classes were reworked to give you a broader usage for each class is fantastic. Support can take out tanks using C4 explosives. The engineer can equip mines and rocket launchers at the same time. The Recon can go nuts with mobile spawn points and motion trackers. The assault is also the medic. Overall the game emphasis team work at the same time you can go lone ranger if you wish. The mix of multiplayer maps is very nice, from inner city battles to hill sides to deserts. It offers a good mix of environments to dish out some damage. The lovely Frost Bite Engine 2.0 with destruction in the environments is always nice. Destroying a building and killing all the campers inside will always put a big grin on your face.

    The use of weapons is very satisfying. you can feel the heft of every gun and the way the modifications add to the weapon. From grips to sights, lasers to flash lights. It expands greatly on what you want to do with a weapon and how you approach the level. The way the knifing animation works is a nice touch lifted straight from Halo Reach's assassination idea. It freaks you out when you see someone else face then you get the killed via knife icons. The embarrassment is huge, it makes seeking out revenge even sweeter. As always bullet drop makes landing a headshot from over 250 meters a feat of skill. It rewards skillful play and since the other team and spot you. You have to be very tactical on when to strike.

    Player animation is so nice. The way you can vault over things adds so much to the flow of the game. The way you drop to prone position is also very cool. Overall the game is pretty enjoyable online. The action is intense. The weapons are fantastic. The levels are varied and nice. The console version has less players but the action is still excellent. The only downside is that if you have a weak team, the other team tends to camp at the spawn point for the team destroying you to bits. that is only in conquest mode. Go buy the game and enjoy fantastic, scary action.    … Expand

Speaking of which, the Multi-Player is what you would expect from a Battlefield game, pure awesomeness. There are some bugs/glitches, but none that are game breaking or make you think "this game was rushed". The sounds are fantastic and really feel real, especially in 5.1 Surround sound. I actually died a few times the first time I played, with Helicopters and jets flying over, and the sounds that came out of my speakers held me speechless.

    With the shear amount of unlocks, and for me, replay-ability of the Single-player, I don't hesitate one second to give Battlefield 3 a 10/10

I'm a BF2 vet who sold Black Ops less then 24 hours after purchasing. WHY!? Because Battlefield fits MY style of play and enjoyment. Now that that is out of the way let us talk about BF3. It's a great game but like any other game, has issues. The single player is ok, but is basically no different then any other FPS single player. The story line doesn't feel real unique, but is enjoyable. The single play is worth playing for just the sound though! The sound in this game is phenomenal!!!!! I am an individual who has been in the military and fired plenty of guns. The gun sounds, explosions, tank shots, etcetera in this game hit you in the chest. I can't say enough about how great the sound is in this game. Graphically the game is wonderful, with a few (very few) head scratchers every now and then. Graphics for me isn't a big deal though. Yes graphics are awesome, but I'd much rather have a game that plays good and has a good gaming experience, then a game that blows my mind graphically. What DICE has done with the new engine in this game works very well though. My only real complaint with the graphics though, is the lighting. It's not that the lighting is bad, sometimes it's just too much. This stands true in multi-player too. Which helps move this review to the meat, bones, and potatoes (now I'm hungry) of BF3. The multi-player!!!!! This is where BF3 shines the most and the best. First and foremost, it feels like BF2... but different. I know that may sound odd, but that's the best I can explain it. Of course you all probably know that there are guns, explosives, tanks, helicopters (get to da choppa), planes, and destructible environments. But that is just the beginning. BF3 is the ultimate package of multiple experiences in one sitting and/or one round. In one round of conquest or rush, you can launch morters, drive a tank, fly a plane, arm an m-com, get in a fire fight with another team/squad, and I could seriously go on for another 10 minutes. This right here is what makes BF3, BATTLEFIELD 3. To surprise, this isn't for everyone. If you are a run and gun type of person. Then steer clear of BF3, it's not for you. This is a game where strategy means everything. Just because you can shoot faster then me, doesn't mean you or your team is going to win. Now that I've rambled on and on about this game I'm going to rate it based on the two following scores: Single player = 8.4/10 and Multiplayer = 9.4/10. With an overall score of roughly 9/10. Last but not least I want everyone to see this last comment: WHEN YOU ARE PLAYING THIS GAME, SPOT PEOPLE! SPOT! SPOT! SPOT!… Expand

    Singleplayer: The singleplayer is blockbuster style,with a story about Srgnt. Blackburn being interrogated about his actions as a U.S Marine soldier. As you play the singleplayer, You play through Blackbourn's flashbacks (and some other soldiers as well). You fight against an army named the PLR. Overall, the story is good, but not the best. It feels a little like "cod", with most of the firefights being in close quarters. The story is not the best, but still worth playing.
    Co-Op: This is a new mode to the battlefield series, wit most missions about completing objectives.
    With only two players and no med packs and ammo to deal out though it feels like the element of teamwork is practically nonexistent. The mode though was extremly fun and tense.
    Multiplayer: Ah yes, the multiplayer, I have played a decent amount of conquest and it is amazing, although some maps have more close combat gameplay like Operation Metro and Grand Bazaar. The leveling up system is brilliant pulling me back to the multiplayer every time.Not only that but the sense of teamwork, gun play and vehicles brings me back as well. The guns feel great and are balanced perfectly.

    Battlefield really shines with this amazing game, top notch Multiplayer with a fairly decent shot at Singleplayer. Gameplay is not the same as Battlefield 2, but rather a mix of Medal of Honor and Battlefield: Bad Company 2. I loved Bad Company 2, however I think that Battlefield is needed to play differently. It's a great game, but I think they may have pushed it out a bit sooner than needed.

Since picking up my copy I haven't been able to put it down. I'll be honest though I only bought it for the multiplayer, which I'll get to later but the single player and the added co-op missions have been surprisingly good. At times the single player campaign can be frustrating with death coming regularly, often out of no where which leaves you wondering how you got killed in the first place? A stray grenade? An RPG? One of the games many explosive set pieces? Very little do I think I was just shot and killed for being out of cover too long. The co-op on the other hand is a welcome addition to the BF series but still has its flaws which can be frustrating also. For example the second co-op mission, Fire from the Sky has you pilot or be the gunner of a helicopter, now unless you have a friend you can do this with who can fly the hard to handle helicopters it will drive you crazy. Relying on someone else to fly it is a frivolous task which ends in them crashing almost immediately and ending the mission. I must have searched for someone to do the mission with at least 5 times and each time I was the gunner and each time the other player crashed and ended the mission. The one time I did get to be the pilot I crashed. Leaving me with a bitter sense of despair. Now knowing I would probably never find anyone online who can pilot a helicopter. Now let's get talking about Battlefields main focal point, its multiplayer. BF's multiplayer is quite simply amazing, holding the top spot for the best multiplayer experience ever. BF comes with 5 different game modes, TD, Squad Deathmatch, Rush, Squad Rush and Conquest. The first two speak for themselves but I'll explain a little about Rush and Conquest. With Rush you either start out as an attacker or defender switching at the end of the match depending on which one you started as first. You need to destroy the enemy M-COM stations or defend your own. It is a very rewarding game mode and demonstrates the full scale war fare that Battlefield has to offer. Whether you're lone wolfing it to try and get that last pesky M-COM station or you're defending your lines holding off the enemy, it is as good as a game mode can get. Conquest is equally as pleasing but can fall short at times when one team dominates, leaving the opposition with very little they can do to get back in the game. This game mode is similar to Gears of Wars annex mode, which sees you trying to capture and hold 3-5 flags spread across the map. Teams start on 200 points and the game ends when one team has sucessfully held the flags long enough to gain the points. All in all the multiplayer is very addicting and if you have played any other game in the BF franchise it will feel familar but with enough new additions and added gameplay tweaks for it too not get repetative. If you're new to the BF franchise then you should be able to pick this one up and get right into the action without feeling like you need hours of gameplay to enjoy yourself. It is well balanced and there is enough for new players to feel comfortable playing. I recommend to anyone who is a fan of FPS or even war games to pick this one up, it won't disappoint. 9/10.… Expand

    The Battlefield franchise keeps getting better. The campaign mode is not that exciting and short. Co-op mode could use more scenarios to play but is fun. Multiplayer mode, I would say no other game can compete. It's worth every cent, this is a game I don't think I would trade in anytime soon.

The plot is hard to follow as names and locations are constantly thrown at you so you'll lose interest in the cut-scenes early in the game.

    But the Battlefield series has always been focused on good multiplayer experiences, and that's what it delivers. While most of its gameplay mechanics have been copied exactly as they were from Battlefield Bad Company 2 (which is an excellent game by the way), the action feels a little more arcade-like due to the new maps designs. A lot of rooms, corridors and large buildings make the game feel a little but more Call-of-Duty-er. It makes the close range action more frequent than in the other games in the series. But that is not to say that the maps are small. They are huge and well-designed, but the actions tend to be focused inside certain buildings and small structures - especially in the Rush mode. A good thing is that there's not much liberty for snipers, because it is very hard to aim from outside into those buildings or camp by the doors or windows without getting caught.

    The amount of weapons, gadgets and accessories in this game would make any first-person-shooter gamer cry of happiness. You can set your soldier to pretty much whatever you'd like by combining different weapons and abilities. The points system is better designed this time around, earning you experience for all kinds of support actions, not only kills. Playing as a team and helping your squad will earn you big points, so you don't need to be the top killer to do well and get upgrades.

    Finally, the vehicles are much more customizable and you'll earn upgrades for them too - not just the upgrades you'd get on your class by using them like more amor or better accuracy, but accessories like better radars, new missiles and such.

    If you're looking for a deep multiplayer experience with lots of upgrades, variation in gameplay, gorgeous graphics and intensive team-play that gets you rewarded for all actions, look no further, Battlefield 3 is for you.    … Expand

I'm not not a big multiplayer like most of my friends but my friends that have both titles enjoyed Battlefield 3 better in its entirety. MW3 should not be missed but if money is an issue, buy BF3 now and thank me later.

This game requires skill and lots of strategy for multiplayer in order to win, rather than the arcade run-n-gun gameplay of other franchises. Using skill and tactics is the only way you will win the game - whether this is using the multitude of different vehicles to assist with air support or ground offensive in tanks, while your other teammates assault the objectives, or by being at the frontlines rushing the objectives, and assisting with revives and supplying medkits or additional ammo to your squad/teammates. The destruction in the game seems to be toned down a bit from prior Battlefield games, but you can still create new "doorways" in building walls should you want to surprise the enemy or make a new route to the objectives. The changes to the kits from BC2 threw me off at first (for example, switching the med kits and ammo supply crates between Assault and Support classes), but after an hour of playing, I've come to realize it was for the best. Maps continue to be amazing and are well thought out for each different game mode. Weapons and the unlock system for them are amazing. My only 2 gripes about the game are spawning into instant death - please institute a few seconds of "safety" when you spawn, so you don't instantly die, and also that there is no way to see the stats of guns (i.e. the accuracy, damage it deals, etc) when you are cycling through your available weapons. This game easily wins the online multiplayer "war" out there between other FPS games - no other game comes close. This is a shining example of how to provide intense, amazing multiplayer - other game companies should stand up and take notice. Single player this year is a marked improvement - it had a much more "gritty" and realistic gameplay, and the story was a lot better. Co-Op mode wasn't as impressive in my opinion, and couldn't hold my attention. Co-Op is for 2 players only, and really just consists of a short battle against some AI - it does give different scenarios - for example, provide air support in an attack chopper while ground forces assault a location, or extract a defector, and get to the extraction point. None of the Co-Op scenarios really made me want to continue playing it, and I immediately went back to competitive multiplayer instead. If you only have one choice of an FPS game this year, Battlefield 3 should be your choice. I buy every FPS that is released, and no other game can even come close to the quality of Battlefield 3.… Expand

It would have been like trying to port Crysis 1 without the CryEngine3. BF3 shows us that the end of this console generation is here, and that this generation is now holding back innovation and the future of games (seriously, wtf is the physics engine on MW? Am I the only one that is dissapointed that grenades dont move wood pallets or outright destroy them? Seriously, Source has better physics implemented in it) They're different animals... that's all- and lets be honest, BF3 does way more for the gaming community than MW, as it stands, will ever be able to do.

I bought BFBC2 and hated it because I was so used to the fast paced, action packed, tighly quartered CoD gameplay. Thinking BF3 would be a nice change of pace, I bought it. It has not disappointed. I find that this game is more realistic and more innovative than CoD. The levels are massive each with a variety of attack options. If you want to engage in an aerial assault, you can just jump in a jet or a helicopter, no killstreak necessary. If you want an armored ground assault, you can jump in a tank (drive or ride, either way). If you are hundreds of meters away from your objective, you can jump in a humvee/jeep and drive until you are comfortably close. The recoil on the guns is crazy, but at least there is recoil and it's not just hold the "shoot" button. The weapons have a variety of different attachments and the customization is refreshing. If you don't fire in controlled bursts, you will likely miss your target. The different classes were hard to get used to at first, but once you adjust, the experience becomes enjoyable. Sniping takes on a whole new meaning, requiring you to adjust your aim to account for distance so that your bullet takes the proper trajectory to get the kill.

    If someone is camping in a building, you can literally destroy the building to flush them out or they will die trying to hide inside of it. There are things that need fixing, however. The "squad" feature often separates parties and the voice chat is less than desirable. I used to love Call of Duty and Modern Warfare. I had great times with those games. I even bought MW3 hoping that all the critics would be silenced. Instead, I have become one of the critics, and one of those who appreciates Battlefield more for the better experience it provides.

    This game is simply amazing. I've been playing DICE games since Bad Company 1 and I'm very happy with the multiplayer on Battlefield 3. This is what the game is about. Not the rest of it. Would have been nice to have dinosaurs or zombies though. Just for fun. Seperate like nazi zombies. That is great on black ops.

    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]
