    All the pre-release hype was right. This game looks great, sounds great and plays great. Don't miss out on what is easily one of the best games of the year... I'd love to see you on the battlefield. Five stars. Read more

    Battlefield 3 leaps ahead of its time with the power of Frostbite 2, the next instalment of DICE's cutting-edge game engine. This state-of-the-art technology is the foundation on which Battlefield 3 is built, delivering enhanced visual quality, a grand sense of scale, massive destruction, dynamic audio and incredibly lifelike character animations.

    So all wrapped up Battlefield 3 is definitely a legitimate contender to the FPS throne and personally I find it a more enjoyable and refreshing experience over Modern Warfare 3. Though with all the comparisons going around it is worth point out that both games provide quite a different online FPS experience so I’m not saying that MW 3 is bad, but BF 3 just did so much more for me this year and is where I’ll spending most of my online time this holidays.

    • • One of the best multiplayer experiences around, • Great production values, • Robust community with great online features
    • • Cliché copy-cat campaign, • Nearly everything needs to be unlocked in multiplayer, • DLC already?

    I could go on and on for another 3000 words about the multiplayer in BF3 but that would be a waste of my time and yours. Every FPS game has its place but if you loved Battlefield 2 and Battlefield Bad Company 2 and sunk hours into the multiplayer of those games, then be prepared to sink another few hundred hours into Battlefield 3.

    • jets return to the Battlefield, 100+ hours of unlocks, online action that cannot be matched, some inspired map design, great Battlelog stats system, class change...
    • a few remaining glitches, single player is enjoyable, but forgettable, the recons miss their C4 ;-)

    The maps and vehicles allow for a great degree of strategic freedom, but choosing your class and loadout is the first and most important decision you make before spawning into combat. Abilities and weapons have shuffled around a bit since , so now the assault class slings health packs and totes defibrillators, while the support class carries light machine guns and ammunition boxes.

    • Deep and varied multiplayer competition, Awesome array of vehicles, Many attractive environments, Rewards teamwork handsomely.
    • Campaign is disappointing and dull, Only six cooperative missions, No way to practice jet flight outside of multiplayer.
