Multiplayer makes it. Great game.,

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Battlefield 3 (PS3) (Video Game)
While the campaign on this game is somewhat mediocre for a first person shooter, most people picking up Battlefield 3 are going to be interested in the online mode. In comparison, the multiplayer should be the selling point of this game - forget the campaign. Many want to compare this game to Call of Duty, and perhaps that's valid. As a basic comparison, Battlefield provides a somewhat more realistic and (dare I say) adult online environment compared to it's competition - don't expect to find a large community of snipers doing 'trick shots'.Gameplay is far more team-based than most other titles and this works really well. If you're looking for something which resembles a typical deathmatch-esque shooter, this probably isn't the title for you - the Battlefield series isn't about running around alone shooting everything - there's much more strategy involved and playing a specific role is a must. For a few quick points on the multiplayer: + Great selection of weapons which are largely well balanced. + The new engine looks great and functions well. Few glitches. + Getting into a game is surprisingly easy, I've had no issues with matchmaking. + Vehicles are very well implemented, adding a great deal of depth to the game. + Unlocks, unlocks, unlocks. Pretty much everything can be modified. However, it would be nice to have some more starting unlocks for vehicles, since you may struggle at first with limited aircraft weaponry. + Very good maps - beautifully sculpted, although destruction tends to change that pretty quickly! - Some bugs do exist. Few are a problem, and should be patched soon. I'm yet to find anyone exploiting them. - Menus are somewhat clunky (not terrible given the sheer amount of customisation). This is irrelevant once you're in a game, and so shouldn't stop you from buying it. - Needs a mode for flight training. Would advise against jumping into air vehicles as a passenger for the first few weeks, since crashes are common for new players. Flying isn't too easy or too difficult, but does take some practice, which can be very frustrating for your teammates. It's worth noting that patches are quite large in filesize, but do make a LOT of improvements. There's some indication they may revamp the UI to one designed by the community - DICE do listen to their customers. Overall: It's a good game, with enough features to keep players busy for a LONG time. COD players should give this a go if they're looking for something a little different, since the two play very differently. Some bugs could use work, but with any luck DICE and EA will pull that together. With DLC coming as soon as December, it's looking like a bright future for this game.

This review is from: Battlefield 3 (PS3) (Video Game)
I am a rare breed a gamer that is i am over 50 years old!!since my son obtained bf3 i am unable to stop playing it racking up 108 hours already. The game is so realistic and apart from a few irritations it really does have it all. everytime you play you seem to unlock something good for the guns or vehicles your using, and the awards system is nice with multi coloured ribbons adding up towards your medals. when you first play dont worry to much about your KD as you will like me get mullered for a while until you learn the maps and get used to the guns and upgrades. Flying is tricky and i just cant do it but there are plenty of other vehicles which are easy to drive. As you get better the game gets better if your reactions are slow due to age dont worry you can use things like claymores, very effective if you place them in well used places. The mortar can get you a few kills unhindered but dont fire too many shells before moving position as the enemy like to stalk the mortar crew and knife them. In my opinion this is the best fps shooter on the market and if an old duffer like me can enjoy and do well that get it and give it a go. good choice of game modes, great graphics and addictive gameplay. dont talk about it get it. dont buy it for the campaign it is truly a god of a multiplayer if anyone is 50 or over and would like to be in a squad of oldies i can be found in bf3 as Oldbutnotcrap Thanks for reading

Outstanding FPS,

This review is from: Battlefield 3 (PS3) (Video Game)
Back in my previous life, before I had children - actually scrub that - back when I had a life, and money for that matter (now I'm sounding bitter I know) I had a top spec PC. And I played Battlefield 2. A lot.Many a night I played for hours, squading up with some great people online and generally having a blast. The sheer size, scope and playability of BF2 made it, for me, the most enjoyable game I've played in all my years of gaming (and I remember the days when Horace used to go skiing). Alas, those days are now gone, my games room is now a nursery (there I go again) and my state of the art pc has been replaced with a PS3. So it is, after 5 long years Battlefield 3 is finally here and I must say in some ways it's a lot better than I thought it would be on a console. Yes, there's no 64 player mayhem, no commander and no commo rose... and no mouse and keyboard for lightening fast reactions. BUT... it still feels and plays like a Battlefield game should. Strategy and ingenuity has always been the staple of any Battlefield game... once spawned it's up to you (and your squad) to decide the best way of capturing and holding a flag using dozens of different approaches. This makes the game unique when compared to othe FPS (*must not mention the 'C' word, must not mention the 'C' word*) The big maps sometimes feel a little sparse and sometimes the games are over too quickly but the new generation graphics do make up for some of these shortfalls when compared to BF2. The environments are lush and the destructibility aspect brings a whole new dimension to gameplay. Squad play/teamwork is almost non existent (perhaps some sort of dedicated mic servers would sort this?) but if you find the right clan/friends this can be overcome. So on the whole, I'm enjoying my Battlefield experience again and I'd recommend this game to anyone who loves first person shooters with huge amounts of creative gameplay thrown in to mix things up a little. 2115|R2OBMCUWLJ52H4;2115|R4ES8PV374LAK;2115|R2JBJ4DA8405K;
