Battlefield 3

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

I've been waiting for this game to come out for the last year, specifically for the multiplayer. Single player? I can take it or leave it...and after hearing all the negatives about this campaign, I didn't hold my breath. Nevertheless, I was quite surprised when I eventually tackled it. Fair enough, it may not be very original, story-wise. Then again, what do you expect out of a Modern Combat shooter? Aliens? Giant gorillas? No? You expect what you see on the news! In light of this, then the story IS, in fact, entirely up to scratch. It's realistic. It's raw.

As for the multiplayer - well - it's absolutely heart pounding. I'm playing on PS3 and I was a little disappointed to discover that the graphics weren't a thousand leagues beyond bad company 2 (That's why I haven't rated it 10)...but still...there are times when you can't help but stop and admire some of the gorgeous textures, lighting, and movement. For a console, yes, I have to say that the graphics are very VERY beautiful! Next, the gameplay. Let's just say, during my first few rounds, I played with bated breath! It's chaos! The sound is fantastic, and nothing gets your heart pounding harder than the blur effect of oncoming suppressing fire! This IS war! By the way, I would like to say that i am an avid FPS player. I tell you this because I love the Call of Duty Franchise also. However, seen as MW3 looks like it'll be the version MW2.5, I really hope that battlefield 3 gives it a run for its money! My score: 9.2

Battlefield 3 is a solid military shooter. Gorgeous visuals, an amazing sound design, solid voice acting, and high levels of polish. The multiplayer is some of the best in the modern military shooter genre, and the modes and variety of maps are awesome.

The campaign makes one wonder what the point even was for DICE to try however. It's embarrassing whenever it tries to copy Call of Duty, it's like that wannabe kid who tries to ape the popular kid but looks like a dork. It's too on rails, lacks interactivity, and the story is uninteresting and lacks stakes and likable or interesting characters.

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.

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!
