    Boasting massive, diverse maps, a riveting campaign, incredible interactive landscapes and unparalleled realism, Battlefield 3 trumps all 2011 shooters in overall quality, including the highly anticipated Modern Warfare 3.

    The servers really need work. And also they need to patch a few things. But overall this is one the best games I've ever played. Putting an 8 now just because of the few bugs but I would give it a 9 or higher if they patch them up

    As many have heard, this game was supposed to be the "CoD killer". But, no matter how much I love this game, I know it's not. But it's a step in the right direction. I have not had much time to play the campaign so I'm going to not comment on it, but let's face facts. Call of Duty is not a heavy hitter because of campaign. It's mainly multiplayer that will decide what game is played more.As many have heard, this game was supposed to be the "CoD killer". But, no matter how much I love this game, I know it's not. But it's a step in the right direction. I have not had much time to play the campaign so I'm going to not comment on it, but let's face facts. Call of Duty is not a heavy hitter because of campaign. It's mainly multiplayer that will decide what game is played more. I'm not going to talk much about Call of Duty and from what I have played it's about average. The multiplayer feels very uninspired, I feel they have been milking the same cow from Modern Warfare. The last game I played was Modern Warfare 2, and it felt the same, but less.... fun? I was a huge fan of Modern Warfare, let me say, and I played it to death. I never bought Black Ops and have never heard any great praise for it. But this is a Battlefield review, so let's move on. When I heard about Battlefield for the first time, I was sitting in a Modern Warfare game, and my friend in the party was giving major acclaim to Battlefield Bad Company 2. I said "Meh." and moved on. After awhile I bought Bad Company 2. And I fell in love. With multiplayer. The campaign was hard to get into, but I was playing live so I didn't care. When Battlefield 3 came out, all of the signs of a fan-boy came out. But I'm not writing it like that. I know it has flaws. So my first impression while playing after the first day I had it was good. It had the Battlefield feel to it, it was very beautiful. The controls felt smooth, not as hectic and jerky as Call of Duty, but still fast paced in it's own special way. I played with my friend and we would talk and make strategy. It was a great time. But I have a beef with this game. Two of the classes are very over powered. Support and Engineer. RPGs flying around my head constantly is very annoying. And when they stand over a ammo drop, hey look.... unlimited rockets flying around. Not fun. I love the game, but sometimes I feel encumbered by reaction times. There is also way to much dead space in the maps. It works for the PC because of the ability of more players in a match, but not here. Once you get into the action though, you feel that sense of urgency. Al the lighting effects add to the feel, and it makes you feel immersed into the game. It has it's ups and downs. I love this game, but it gets on my nerves sometimes.… Expand

    The X-box/PS3 experience online is a mixed bag- The pros are the combined arms feel of combat, the variety of maps and game modes, and most importantly the player base. The cons are the unlock system, the 24 player max, and the unlock system.

    The highlights of the game occur when you are in a squad of people who are all talking to each other as you move across a map- in my case we took cover in a concrete building only to have a tank burst through the wall. We scattered, shouting "TANK", as the world exploded in shattered concrete and rebar around us. Those moments make the game worth the score alone.

    The downside is that new players will find themselves staring into the dark, or into rubble-strewn streets, through iron sites while veterans are peering back through a bipod-stabilized, thermal-vision rifle with a heavy barrel. You'll hop in a tank to rumble across a battlefield with your basic canon as a tank on the other side of the map is firing image-enhanced guided munitions on you. There's a sense of unfairness about it.    … Expand

    The campaign plot is not so good but the Multiplayer section is definitely awesome. But I think EA can build a training scene for noobs so they know how to use those jet fighters and vehicles instead of wasting those tactical advantages like crap.

    Frostbite 2 - Huge leap on the graphics effects. EA finally ditched Windows XP/DirectX 9 support, I'd say this is very brave and great act.

    DICE put forth a great effort for this title. I will start off by saying that this title has been riddled with issues since launch. Issues with multiplayer have been rampant, from servers being down, to voice chat on PS3 being choppy, etc. The takeway from these issues however is the fact that despite how frustrating they can be, I simply cannot justify putting the game down.

Issues with multiplayer have been rampant, from servers being down, to voice chat on PS3 being choppy, etc. The takeway from these issues however is the fact that despite how frustrating they can be, I simply cannot justify putting the game down. The graphics look a lot better and brighter, while at the same time the darks are a lot darker and ominous. There is so much depth and customization involved in the multiplayer that the game is hard to put down. Do you feel like sniping, healing? Perhaps a tank is more your style, or a jet, or a helicopter? Grab a gunner seat if you can't pilot. Or perhaps you want to boogie around the landscape with little more than 4 wheels and a prayer. Got that too. The real value in Battlefield is that there are so many strategies and ways to approach a specific map or firefight, and all of them are pretty damned fun. I have no tried single player yet, but I have never cared about single player in any Battlefield game. To me, it simply goes against what Battlefield began as; a great multiplayer experience that allows you to conduct what is arguably the closest demonstration of a war scenario to date. Finally, does it stack up with Modern Warfare 3? I don't know, it depends on how much you like Modern Warfare 2, because that is all that 3 is. Developer DICE rolled the dice with this game, and overall I think time will show they chose wisely with this endeavor.… Expand

The only exciting missions were when you played as the Russians. The characters were not strong enough to make a deep connection with. The coop was fun, but not that many missions. The coop can be beaten in 2 hours on the hardest difficulty. There was really no story to it, but it was fun to play with a friend. The online like i said earlier is great. It is very similar to bad company 2, with additions of new vehicles, weapons and a couple new game modes. Both COD and BF3 are great games. I personally like COD better because of the campaign. Multiplayer however goes to BF3. I am sick of the childish reviews and bashing of both games. Both EA and Activision make awesome games.

I have brought MW and the prestige editions for MW2 and Black Ops and loved Bad Company 2. Now I didn't even show an interest in MW3 I may even end up buying it later on down the track just for the single-player because I got sick of playing MW2 and Black Ops online just to get quick scoped all the time or the guys who are in a party just go on different teams and just keep killing one guy for the kill streaks. Now I brought BF3 when it was released and I have only played the first mission of BF3 because most of my time I've been playing the multiplayer. I believe that the open maps and number of vehicles you can control create many different tactics you can apply to the battlefield and I have even witnessed different tactics used against me. True that the servers were really bad the first week but they worked on them and now it's up and running perfectly! Plus the add-on we get for free (if you purchased the limited edition) which has new vehicles, weapons, and re-created maps from the previous game. Where as and I'm sorry about this but paying 1200 MS points for 4-6 maps as just outrageous and yes I did purchase 1 or 2 of the map packs. If anyone has actually read up to this point I am a casual gamer and love my games, even so much I don't even trade them or resell them but if you are looking for a great multiplayer experience this game is for you, the amount of upgrades for your weapons, even with your level, plus for each vehicle, will just keep you coming back for more. The only thing they really need to work on is an easier way to quit out of a game without waiting for a new game to start.

    Although the single player campaign isn't worth your time the multi-player experience is a great deal of fun. There is a strong emphasis on teamwork and each class has well defined roles on the battlefield. Tactics play an important role in winning games. This is not a run and gun experience it is a battlefield.

    While Battlefield 3 was aiming to be the biggest name this holiday season, and while it has made strides towards knocking off Modern Warfare 3, it misses the mark. That's not to say it is a bad game, it's a very good one, but the polish and excitement that is found on the Call of Duty series feels missing here. Still, there are much worse games you could end up with this holiday season, and the competition between the two series should heat up significantly in the next few years.

    This experience alone sums up what Battlefield 3 is about. It isn't a John Rambo run and gun shooter and it shouldn't really be compared to MW3 in terms of how you play it. For players to truly understand the Battlefield experience you need to embrace the teamwork by joining a squad and calling out your spotted enemies, as after all, sometimes you also need your back covered too.
