    Incredible.

    How on Earth is this rated lower than CoD?

    It is far superior in every single way. If you don't yet own this game- buy it (I recommend it on BF3 or PC). The campaign, co-op and multi player is fantastic, I really recommend it to any shooter fan, it really puts the fun back into games- CoD sucks it out of you- it's over-intense, boring game play is pitiful compared to that of Battlefield.

    Buy this game. It really impresses the way it runs, the animation, the vehicles, the social aspect of it. You can chose to play seriously with a group of 4, running around and just having a really intense, timeless game- or play for the fun of it, doing so-called 'Kamikaze' or getting jokey kills- it's up to you. Plus, it's great even just to go as a 'lone wolf'- sniping alone for example is still pretty great, although it's still more easy ans fun with others.

    In summary, I strongly urge you to buy this game. Now!

    8/10!

    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!

    A Game for the Next 10 years

    Thing is about this title. DICE did not hold back any bars on its engine. The engine is full out awesomeness, this has resulted in a lot of users who Think they can play the game fine getting problems. IMF a massive cult has brewed from the ones that think the game is broke, It is not broke its one of the most epic PC and console titles ever released.

    Its been designed with the next 10 years of gaming in mind, New launch system, New Engine , New way of fighting. Dynamically.

    Single player wise, its probably the best storyline since HL1. A lot of people don't bother to touch it, as they dislike SP all together in MP games. This however takes a story ARC much like Dr Who or The Venture Brothers. Once you get on the final level it feels so very epic. It gets abit confusing along the way but its designed to be.

    Multi-player the game shines, Dynamic Warfare, this is the way things should be online. Its not static that's for sure, its not boxed warfare. EA + DICE are out doing themselves on removing hackers and unfair stats cheaters as well. This is the way of Battlefield complete fair play from day one. No one has the right to cheat the score boards. Problem is a lot of lessor skilled players are jumping right into a world of pro's and shouting hacker left right and centre.

    Thing is this has brought PC gaming home. Not since CSS has every PC gamer been in one place at one time. Since then we all branched of to our other games. This game is one for the books and give it another 5 years it will be, Don't think DICE made their money and ran. They have never done that once, instead expect patch's DLC everything.

    Frostbite 2 will run the next generation of games, MoH 2 and Command and Conquer we know about. Have you tried the new need for speed ? its epic completely back to real game standards.

    Get this game legit already. Don't naysay till you have played it without problems. If you have problems they can be fixed, its the entire point of owning a PC. If you have problems on the consoles They will be fixed. You won't be ignored etc, everyday DICE is working on the title to make it even better then ever before.

    Bring on the next 10 years because this decade will be that of BF3

    Brilliant, Realistic, and Beautiful

    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

    Best Online Game Ever Made Rounded Up With An Epic Story

    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.

    • Trivia
      The weapons in the game feature accurate reloading, something not seen in many games. They show "wet reloading", which is reloading with a round in the chamber, and "dry reloading", which is when the gun is completely empty. Shotguns even have the first shell loaded into the breach on a dry reload.

      In the Mission "Going Hunting", the Mehrabad airport seems to be in the middle of the desert with a few buildings around it. In reality, the airport is located in a very urban and populated area and has little to no unoccupied land around it.
