Synopsis

Synopsis
The ground shakes with rumbles from an explosion down the street. You hear disembodied shouts from your teammates. Bullets whiz by your helmet and explode on the wall behind you, sending chunks of concrete and rubble flying through the air. You're focused on your mission, but time seems to stop for a moment as you feel your weapon in your hand. Another bullet bursts against the wall, this time closer — and louder. That got your attention. There's no time for zoning out in the red zone. Meet back up with your team and make it off the Battlefield alive.

Featuring the powerful Frostbite 2 engine, Battlefield 3 utilizes every ounce of power to provide the most immersive shooter experience you've ever known. Get ready to hold your ground on the front lines of a global conflict, and keep your finger on the trigger as the missions take you from city streets in New York and Paris to the relentless desert sands of Tehran. Take on the enemy by yourself in single player, or team up with a friend for intense co-op missions. Featuring the all-new Battlelog system, you can easily find your friends, socialize and track your progress. When your skills are battle-tested, load up for a 24-player online multiplayer mode, where you'll strap on the boots of a frontline infantry soldier and pilot powerful battle machines like Engineering EOD bots, tanks, jets and more. Fall in, Soldier — you're about to head out to the Battlefield once again.

BF3

Posted by: from on 05/06/2013Battlefield surpasses CoD in the multiplayer arena. Though both are moving towards the same game, BF3 encourages team work and running different roles. Vehicles, massive maps, and tons of weapons make for a varied game play.

Great MP, Bad SP

Posted by: from McAllen, TX on 04/26/2013This has been the best Shooter game i have played, Multiplayer gives you something to do, I have always loved the idea of destroying something that's in your way, and BF3 has that. Story mode is not the greatest, leaves you expecting more but that is not the reason i got this game. If MP maps were cheaper, this game would be perfect.

So Confused

Posted by: from Richmond, Va on 04/18/2013When I buy a game I expect to be able to jump right into it and start playing. I tried playing this game repeatedly but could not figure out what was going on. I guess this game is good if you are the kind of person that has the time to learn how to develop the unique skills required for this game.

Pretty good for online plan

Posted by: from Albany, GA on 04/17/2013I love BF3 for the simply fact that it doesn't have cheap gimmicks like the COD franchise. The expansive maps are great when the game features plenty of people. At times it can be quite annoying though if you spawn or get left in an area without action even more so if you don't have a vehicle. Walking back to the action is completely boring and takes way too long on some maps. The team concept is a great idea but it's rarely carried out as designed. **I strictly play online...I didn't even bother with the campaign** Can't wait for BF4.

Battlefield 3

Posted by: from on 04/14/2013The size of the maps are amazing and using vehicles are fun. The gunplay isn't up to par with games like call of duty. Also, the upgrade system for the weapons could be better. Still a fun shooter to play online.

playing call of duty then playing battle field

Posted by: from new york, ny on 09/08/2012I played call of duty alot i still do and battle field is better in my opinion. larger maps and vehicles plus realism give battle field the edge. I like playing fast pace games in call of duty but eventually noobtoobers and quick scopers are annoying.

Solid game but hard

Posted by: from Rochester, NY on 06/09/2012Very good storyline in single player mode. The multiplayer mode is very hard and downright frustrating at times. There is definitely a steep learning curve. Overall a great game though.
