I was extremely disappointed in the beta released for this game just weeks before it launched. I went from hyped up to let down. I went ahead and purchased it anyway because a few of my friends were getting it, and am I glad that I did. Why EA/Dice chose to use Rush Mode - Operation Metro for the public beta is a business move I will never understand, because it was misleading in a bad way. There were no vehicles to be found, the combat was shallow and generic, weapons did way too much damage and on top of that many feared the bugs in the beta would not be ironed out by release. They were wrong, and so was I.
It turns out I personally don't care for Rush Mode, it is very similar to Demolition (not to be confused with Domination) from the COD series where you have an offense side trying to invade the enemy base and plant a bomb in 1 of 2 locations. This mode to me seems very partial to the defending side and I just don't care for it. This was the mode presented in the beta along with the party issues, the ridiculous damage (which was changed in the retail - you no longer die in 2 bullets), screen flicker, infantry only map, camping, etc. It is no wonder the beta made so many people sceptical of the finished game.
Now enter Conquest Mode, the bread and butter of real Battlefield roots. This is what Battlefield games are about. This is much more akin to (again) COD's Domination mode, although Conquest has been around much longer. You capture various flags across the maps and try to keep the enemy team from taking them. You have a set amount of points or tickets that slowly drop as the match progresses, the first team to reach zero loses. Once a flag is capped you can spawn in that area.... Read more ›

To begin with, the single player is shocking, but when it comes to Battlefield 3 who really cares? It is all about the multiplayer and this is were Battlefield comes on and obliterates all opposition. Cod i found to be generally quite repetitive but, like its predecessor in Bad Company 2, Battlefield seems to be endless fun. Whether it be small squad based action or large vehicle dominated maps, the game rules all in the abundance of pleasure you get from long range sniper headshots to the close range knifing and awesome power of the Abrams tank, have fun because i just cant get enough!

To put things in perspective, I've owned all the Call of Duty and Battlefield games in the past, so I'm used to comparing the two. I've put hundreds of hours into COD games, it's a simple, addictive, polished kill fest.
Battlefield is a different beast.
Multiplayer is the arena where most players will spend most of their time, I haven't actually touched the campaign yet. Here are the things which have been most noticeable for me.
Firstly, teamwork. You can try and play the game like COD but that won't work. Constant streams of reward points flood in if you are doing your job right. Picture the scene; a fierce firefight for control of a flag - medics reviving downed players and laying down health packs, support gunners keeping enemy heads pinned down (the effect of a bullet narrowly missing your head is genuinely disorientating), engineers flaming rockets over your head into an tank, and snipers cracking shots into enemy melons from hundreds of metres away. The combined effect is immersive, loud and a bit scary. Just like war should be. (apart from the actual dying thing...)
Secondly, vehicles. These are genuine game-changers as opposed to pastimes. Just yesterday morning I faced the situation where my team were 2-1 down in terms of controlled flags of a map. So I jumped in a chopper with two other guys, cruised over to a contested flag and was having a dogfight with another helicopter as my teammates were parachuting out to secure the flag. No microphones involved, people just work together. And who doesn't want to fly a fighter jet?
Finally, it's not COD. Call of Duty have over the years produced some great games.... Read more ›

Exciting in part, however it feels as though I'm queueing up to have fun on this game.

It has to be said that the campaign for this game is undesirably short lived. I found myself wondering afterwards whether there was another chapter (or two) that was yet to kick in and was disappointed to see the credits start to roll. I also found the campaign very restricting in the sense of how you complete the objectives/missions. Quicktime events are a plague within games at the moment and EA had no qualms in ensure that there were an overbearing number of them within the game. I enjoyed the style of gameplay that the Bad Company's provided; unique approach to objectives where it was entirely up to you how to accomplish them, or at least it gave a sense of free-will.
As you have probably heard what this game lacks in single player it makes up for in multiplayer. This is at least to some degree true, however there are many drawbacks within the multiplayer itself that made me reivew this game poorly compared to my peers. Firstly. at times when playing multiplayer it feels as though the game picks the maps you should play, rather than you picking them yourself. I am not referring to when you finish a match it automatically puts you into another map that is perfectly fine, however it gives you no choice of reverting to the main menu straight after you finish your game, but instead forces you through multiple loading screens into the next map, which you may not necessarily enjoy therefore are forced to wait an absurd amount of time to quit out of.
Furthermore, following the recent expansion pack the 'server browser' is plagued with all the new maps so you are unable to view the availability of the old ones (which I personally enjoy more), again re-instating that it feels as though the game is picking what maps you play.... Read more ›

The game is good but I got delivered the PS3 version, not the XBOX...
I was allowed to return it but I just thought it'd cost me more and be a hassle so I sold it for less without even opening it. Read more

Shoot 'em up game
Another shoot 'em up game. Good graphics, multiplayer is better than other shooters because you can really drive the vehicles (unlike others, such as Call of Duty).
