Battlefield 3 - PlayStation 3

Model: 19728
SKU: 3668284
UPC: 014633197280
SynopsisThe 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.

What's great about it: More realistic, More challenging
What's not so great: A bit stiff, perhaps work on the graphics and controls a bit
I think this game is amazing! Its different and a change from Call of Duty and much more challenging. There's MUCH less camping first off, and the a more team oriented game. The graphics seem a level down then most other war games and the controls are a bit stiff (accidentally miss fire, or push the wrong button etc), but by far war game winner of 2011.

What's great about it: weapons, sound, visuals
What's not so great: takes some getting used to.
I liked the campaign even though I found it difficult. Maybe im not so good. Multiplayer is real fun because you get a wide array of weapons and vehicles to use. I did find multiplayer more difficult because i was used to playing C.O.D. but once i got used to it i found it better than the MW series of C.O.D.

What's great about it: Everything.
What's not so great: Nothing.
Battlefield 3 is an amazing game. I love it for the online gameplay. It's great that it has the destructable buildings. Also, the variety of weapons that you can unlock and the variety of vehicals you can operate are amazing. It's a great game if you want to play with your friends and has a lot of modes to choose from. The sound effects in the game is amazing and so is the gameplay itself. I would highly recommend this game and also the DPX21 Turtle Beach headset to go with it. Been playing the series since battlefield 2 for PC.

What's great about it: the story line was ver interesting
What's not so great: No, side games to play
It was a great game. Although there was not enough to the game. I really like playing the story line. After that there is no more to the game, unless you want to play online, and honestly I don't play online. I don't want to get hooked ,and spend my whole day playing. Over all I really enjoyed the game

What's great about it: The different mobiles and environments you can play. Rush!
What's not so great: Aiming, weaponry, feel odd and less true than cod series
Definitely plays more realistically than compared to COD series. The environments are crazy cool. The fact you can fly jets which I still haven't gotten a hang of yet is fun. I only went a few levels into the story before I got bored. COD storylines are more enticing.

What's great about it: online multiplayer
What's not so great: short campaign
Had this game for a few months. No complaints. Even got it for $40 brand new instead of $60 thanks to Best Buy deals. Amazing graphics/audio with an HDMI cable. Online multiplayer is epic and free after you type in your online access code you get inside your game case. Also you can follow your stats and friend's online at http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/. Very challenging and realistic battles in multiplayer and campaign as well. But, storyline was a little shorter than I wanted. Over all a good buy, worth every penny.

What's great about it: No lagging online
What's not so great: Slow game play
This game is fine if you like flying planes and driving tanks. Sniper works well here. This is a slow game with average action in online game play. I was on MW3 before this game and am back on it. I like the faster action of MW3. BF3 doesn't have a problem with laggers like MW3 but it cannot hold my attention.

What's great about it: Awesome sound effects, visually amazing, huge levels.
What's not so great: Nothing the game is awesome.
They didn't lie in the advertisement: Battlefield 3 is more life like than Call of Duty. And an all around better game. That said it's also tougher to kill people and get good at the game. The levels are huge, you can go inside multi-level buildings. When a tank shoots a wall the wall explodes and disappears. You can drive tanks, humvees, fly helicopters and jets. There are a ton of weapons kit options, from anti-tank mines to C-4 or weapon upgrades and Rpgs. It's the best multiplayer shooter out there, Hands Down.

What's great about it: Destruction everywhere you can't hide behind a wall
What's not so great: story
Graphics are okay considering you can destroy everything in the game. The online multi-player is awesome with tons of vehicles to make it rain. There are tanks, jeeps, helicopters, jets, etc... My personal favorite weapon right now is the mortar when you can blast people away from long distance like the HBO mini series The Pacific. The story was kind of bland buy if you're buying this game it is mainly for the online battles. The sounds are great like the ringing in your ears when an explosion goes off nearby. A must have for shooting fans. Excellent teamwork game.

What's great about it: Sound effects, multiplayer, weapons and vehicles.
What's not so great: I want more maps.
Graphics are good but didn't blow me away.
Sound quality/effects are great and very realistic.
Gameplay is more exciting, with more vehicles and more exciting perks.
My next step, is to buy Battlefield for the PC.
I would like to see more maps become available in the future.

Different than MW3 and that is exactly why I like it. Different strokes for different folkes. You want a good military shooter this is one, just don't expect the MW3 experience and you'll be satisfied.

This by far, is the one and only came that I have no disappointments about. It is the game of the year, and the next generation of gaming. Graphics are amazing, sound guns. I actually feel like im a solider in the war zone. Battlefield 3 is the one game that truly lives up to what the specs and commercials and everything, it is truly a real virtual first-person shooter.

What's great about it: Great Graphics, Good Multiplayer, Challenges for Replay
What's not so great: Short & Bad Campaign, Limited # of Multiplayer Games
Battlefield has it's flaws in the single player with the whole storyline that I find boring and the graphics do have problems with texture pop-ins but they have patched it to make it better so it's not as bad, it's not as noticeable now and that it is from trying to use the new Forstbite 2 engine. The maps for multiplayer are huge and can be trouble finding people but it actually gives you the opportunity to snipe in the game. The audio is top of the line for games and at first the multiplayer can be extremely difficult at first if you aren't used to games that are more realistic in terms of bullets to take someone down. The multiplayer can get a little repetitive with few choices for multiplayer games and completing challenges for the guns and kits will take some serious time. Despite this I still find it a fun game in moderation and I would recommend it to someone who wants a more a realistic shooter than say Modern Warfare 3.

What's great about it: Graphics, Game Play, Realism, and Replay Value
What's not so great: Takes a little bit to get use to the controls
When I first played the game I was dying a lot. It was because I would get caught up looking at the surroundings. The graphics are the best. The game play is great too. The more you play the game the more things you unlock as far as weapons, vehicle upgrades, and uniform colors. This game is the #1 war game by far.

What's great about it: Plenty of replay with Multiplayer
What's not so great: Glitches, the script is loaded with swears for no reason, 720P graphics
Well, I wasn't as impressed with this game as I thought I would be. This was a highly anticipated game with lots of hype. It lives up to most of it. But the game is average at best.
Storyline: same old same old. Fight the war, win the war, shoot the bad guy, swear a lot. I feel that they were trying to hard when writing the script to this game. It feels like they tried to figure out every single area in which they could throw in a cuss word. I have friends that were/are active military and even they say that it is more than what is true to life. They go for a lot of realism but having to hear the f word every other sentence is just overkill.
Gameplay: controls are great! responsive and accurate. But that is where is stops. I didn't find this game as challenging as I thought it would be. Hardest part of this game: getting past the glitches and bugs found in certain levels! I got stuck on an air raid mission for 2 hours because of some glitch that makes it impossible for you to kill an enemy. I had to keep resetting the game and re-attempt the mission until it finally acted normal and they guy goes down. Another mission I somehow moved through a fence that I wasn't supposed to and got stuck on the other side. And be careful when jumping on boxes as you might get stuck on top of them. Campaign was quick and over before they could shove a few more swears in there. The Multiplayer has plenty of potential but who likes being sworn at and talked garbage by a bunch of 12 yr olds who think they are hard but still cry when their mom tells them to turn off the game to do homework and you can hear it in the background.
Graphics: only 720P. I like playing HD games and prefer to have 1080P where available (MW3 has 1080P). Out side of the glitches it was good graphics. However, why does my whole screen have to be covered in grit when a bomb goes off? I know it is realism and stuff gets on your mask/face but it's a game, let me just see what I am doing and quit going for the gimecks.
