The smoke rising from a burned out tank in the distance, coupled with the staccato gunfire of a heated infantry battle in full swing, is my cue to move. The enemy squad are held up in a half-collapsed factory, the rest of my unit working like a finely tuned machine to keep them suppressed.

The pinnacle of multiplayer gaming; addictive and perfectly balanced; Frostbite 2.0 engine delivers some stunning visuals; New maps and vehicles make for even more enthralling battles

Campaign tries hard to be Modern Warfare; but falls short on most accounts; A number of glitches and occasional framerate drops

After picking this game back up, I am bumping up my review to an 8 from a 4. Initially, I had extremely high hopes for this game and the campaign was such a disappointment. However, after seeing the error of my ways, I realized that I did not purchase this game for the single player mode (sad but...

Two peculiar features await Xbox 360 owners who decide to go to war with Battlefield 3: Limited Edition . First, the game arrives on two disks, one for single-player and the other for multiplayer. It's an oddity, but considering the DVD's limitations, it's a logical split.

When it comes to virtual battlefields, nobody does it quite like the Battlefield series. It has a long history of creating sprawling conflict zones where players have an exhilarating range of ways to make powerful contributions to the war effort.

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

Got this game the next day i ordered.Superb graphics,Amazing storyline and groundbreaking weapons.Although there are some glitches in the game such as even if you run past some enemy it may not shoot you ,b ut in the end this game is fantastic.Me being a gamer reaaly love it and am looking forward...

Ultimately, Battlefield 3 is an easy game to recommend depending on how you answer this question - Are you buying it for the multiplayer? If yes, buy it. You won't be disappointed and don't even have to bother with the mediocre campaign.

Great the game has a realistic campaign and advanced multiplayer, there are still hundreds of active players and you can still rent a server.

As Battlefield 3 (BF3) loads up for the first time with its flashing logos made of static and electronica pulsing from the speakers it's notably...

What you guys did to the battle field game and franchise is unacceptable not to mention your greedy,greedy,greedy trending of online pass codes for games like need for speed which is a horrible online game and is borderline unethical!!!!!!!

realistic,and you can blow stuff up, gamestop gave me $29; i used it for a turtle beach head set

full of bugs; the new dlc allows for spoiled noobs to obtain with microsoft points what use to take weeks of playing

Battlefield 3 is kind of a creature out of time. It's official predecessor, Battlefield 2 , launched in 2005. Even that recently it was a very different era: despite being a first-person shooter, BF2 was a PC-only title, and one of its rivals - the Call of Duty series - was successful but still not...
