Battlefield 3

Battlefield 3 is an outstanding game. The new engine Frostbite 2 is really amazing. It makes the graphics of the game detailed and impressive. I got this game all because of its multi-player because I heard many reviews and comments from friends all saying that the multi-player is great. The single-player or campaign of the game is okay. It's your old find terrorist and kill him plot but its still fun to play.

I have not really tried the co-op part of the game but i presume it is fun. The gameplay is very realistic and there are many heart pounding sequences especially when enemies are shooting at you with bullets nearby missing your head creating a whizzing sound and a blur on your screen. A comment I have to make is that the guns looks aren't very realistic :(. At some points of the game they sort of look like toys.

Overall Battlefield 3 is a great and impressive game and I strongly suggest buying it for it will be worth your money. I give it a 9.2

This was my introduction to not only the series, but also to a more epic, larger-scale competitive first person shooter. During the beta, I felt overwhelmed and thought I'd never get the hang of it. With the encouragement of my buddies, I came to love this game. It is so epic and engaging!

Battlefield has always been a multiplayer first game. Furthermore, unlike Call of Duty, another multiplayer oriented game, battlefield has not had many good campaigns. This is one of them. The campaign is bland, boring, and genetic. The only real positives are the visuals and the gunplay. The multiplayer, however, is absolutely amazing.

Pros:

• Gunplay is incredible
• TTK is perfect
• The game is visually amazing
• Maps are incredible, including the controversial "meat grinder" ones
• The class system is designed to perfection
• Conquest and Rush are awesome
• Destruction is awesome

Cons:

• Weapon balance can be a little funky
• Net code is a little broken

This is essentially a near perfect multiplayer experience. The main thing holding back battlefield 3 is the campaign so it gets docked a little bit.

Battlefield 3 is by far and away the best online experience commercially available and with the best story of the series it is the complete package. The story follows an army officer by the name of Blackburn and is being interrogated by two army superiors about some goings on. I won't give too much away but believe me when I say it is intriguing and you will want to see it through towards the end which is also epic. In an interesting twist for one level you play as a Russian by the name of Dima but it can't talk about that without delving heavily into spoilers the end of that section is also very shocking. Now the online my god the online is so epic I can assure you it will keep you hooked for months to come. It is even deeper than before and you are now able to customize your kits to your choosing and is the best around and will take some beating even by the so called 'Mighty MW3' and it also blows their online out of the water. If you care about you're FPS's hell even if you play games, even if you arn't that much of a gamer you need to get this and it WILL make you one. It does have some bugs but nothing to serious and certainly noting to keep you away from this amazing package.

I've never played the Battlefield series. Sure I downloaded a demo and got a few kicks out of it, but nothing really engaged me; save for the WW2 setting of one of the games. That's just about it as far as I'm concerned.

But now I'm into Battlefield 3 and by the looks of it, needless to say, I'm REALLY impressed of how realistic and hectic it really is. With exceptional sound, I felt like I was really in a war zone, fighting through terrorists with an arsenal of weapons and vehicles such as tanks and jets; though their use is sadly limited as I've always wanted more variety and things to do in a game. But in one action set piece, you get to drive a tank through a Middle Eastern city blowing up not only tanks, but the whole freakin' scenery along with the terrorist forces. I've always wanted to drive a tank in a video game(and maybe, possibly in real life) and blow the sh*t out of things. Thankfully, Battlefield 3 gave me that opportunity.

Speaking of scenery, the graphics are really great with lots of detail in the levels and billboard signs, all in various languages, giving the game a cultural feel amidst the backdrop of war, in the field and covertly. But I was a little disappointed that the single-player mode should've been a lot longer with more missions and variety of tasks to do in said missions. Hopefully, in the next game the developers can focus on making a more lengthy single-player mode with a better story and more choices on how to approach a mission with different tactics. Since this is my first time to the series and that I have enjoyed the multiplayer aspect of the game, I'm willing to get more games in the series but for now, I'll be itching to see what EA and co can do with the inevitable Battlefield 4.
