It's all a matter of taste, after all. They each provide a certain type of entertainment – when talking about Battlefield 3, it involves a bigger game, more open in its possibilities and more spectacular. But on a longer timeline, less frantic and with fewer Bruce Willis scenes than the mass appeal beast it set itself to dethrone.

No, Battlefield 3 is not the best game of today. But good looking – definitely. It also has an absolutely addictive multiplayer. Who needs more? [Dec 2011]

Both a triumphant leap forward and a return to form for the Battlefield series. This is the best multiplayer shooter on PC. [Christmas 2011, p.58]

Battlefield 3 is a clear example of how games used to be made. Looking at everything that came after it, it’s easy to say that this is the best entry in the entire series. Yes, by today’s standards it may feel outdated — and that’s fair — but the level of quality it set was so high that most of the following games never managed to reach it. Only its direct successor came close by doing the same things slightly better. It’s honestly disappointing to realize that the later entries in the series started to stand out — and not in a good way. Battlefield 3 had everything: an engaging single-player campaign, breathtaking musical score, and large-scale multiplayer battles that brought enjoyment to hundreds of thousands of players. It’s no surprise that after so many unsuccessful releases, Battlefield 6 tried to take inspiration from this era of the series. Today, the multiplayer is mostly dead, but the game is still absolutely worth playing for those who never experienced its story campaign.

bu tip oyunların hikayesini deneyimleyen biri olarak hikayesi eh işte dedirtse de vuruş hissini ve oynama kıvamını sevemedim.

Beside the multiplayer and co-op which is dead in 2025, the campaign is outright awesome, with some variety of missions alongside the story being the protagonist faces with two men integrating him which leads an interesting story telling. The graphics are unsurprisingly gorgeous thanks for the frostbite engine which it's ahead of it's time Gunplay, sounds effect, art style, voice acting, music and the theme of the game is amazing to say the least.

As a complete package Battlefield 3 absolutely delivers and if you don't have some angry agenda against Origin it's a must-play. The PC version in particular ushers in a new era of graphical magnificence and the disparity between the consoles begs Sony and Microsoft to up the ante. Shooters don't come much better than this and it's a great way to kick off this year's holiday game rush.

This PC version is without question the Battlefield DICE wanted to do. It is the ultimate and recommended version of Battlefield 3, superior to the console versions. Although the campaign mode and the cooperative missions have much to improve, its competitive multiplayer is overwhelming and will provide hours of fun for months and even years.

This is the best Battlefield game in my opinion. I’ve played it a lot, mainly in multiplayer mode, but recently I played the campaign, and it is wonderful. The story is well-written and realistic — I think it set the standard for the best Battlefield stories in the series. The Battlefield campaigns that tried to differentiate too much from this one — Battlefield 4 and Hardline — fail to be as good or interesting. The multiplayer is awesome even today, years after its release.

An extremely beautiful looking game that takes advantage of the hardware in every way possible, resulting in an experience that's so huge and fulfilling that it will keep you satisfied for years to come, especially with all the DLC map packs int he pipelines.

If solo play is your primary motivator, then it's hard to recommend Battlefield 3 as anything more than an audio-visual treat. The times where Battlefield 3 does its damnedest to go toe-to-toe with Call of Duty are the times it stumbles the hardest. But when DICE is doing what it's always done best, Battlefield 3 is a uniquely mesmerizing multiplayer game with a seemingly endless number of ways to feel like a success. It's not revolutionary, but it's the best Battlefield game, and that's saying a lot.

It's hard to tell how it'll pan out over the years, but right now, this is a great game burdened with new, confused players, technical problems, and a lack of information as to how to be effective on the field. It's a Battlefield game alright, but it's going to need some time and work before it becomes a worthy time sink.

I enjoyed my time with Battlefield 3's multiplayer, and I wish my thoughts about the game could end there. Unfortunately it also tried to force a totally unnecessary single-player game on me, and the browser interface looks like it came straight out of the 90s.

By far my favorite Battlefield game. Decent campaign, but where it shines is in the multiplayer. The soldier screams, the gun shots, vehicle sounds, it all added to the atmosphere.

لعبة بسيطة لم تقدم السيء أو العجيب المبهر ففي الأسلحة أنت مقيد بما لدى الأعداء أو بما لديك في بداية المهمة عدم تمييز الأعداء كان سيء في بعض المهمات لأنك تتضرر وأنت تحاول إيجادهم التصويب وميكانيكيات اللعب موزونة وممتعة القصة لم تخل من نشر فسادهم الفكري بتصوير أعدائهم بطريقة سيئة وتصويرهم بطريقة الجيش البطل المنقذ المدافع عن الإنسان

Es muy divertido, y aunque la historia no es nada del otro del mundo el gran apartado visual y el estupendo gameplay lo convierten en un juego muy recomendable para jugar entre 7 y 9 horas.

Nice destruction physics and big open areas. There is also blue filter which somehow fits the game. But other than those it is meh.
