Battlefield 3 for PC, X360 and PS3 is the third installment of one of the most famous multiplayer war shooter. The game was created by the authors of the franchise, Swedish EA DICE Studios, known for many successful titles - from classic Pinball Dreams and Pinball Fantasies, through Mirror's Edge, to Battlefield spin-offs, namely Bad Company sub-series.

Story and Game modes

The third installment of Battlefield consists of both solo campaign and an expansive multiplayer mode. When playing alone, you can participate in many dynamic and varied missions, which take you to the United States (New York), Europe (Paris), and even the Middle East (Tehran, Kurdistan). During the military operations, there are both peaceful sequences as well as shocking events – you can even eye-witness a terrible earthquake. As far as individual missions are concerned, very often you fight alongside other soldiers and make use of advanced military equipment.

  • Variety and Customization: Users highlight the wide variety of weapons, vehicles, and customization options available, which enhance the multiplayer experience.
  • Campaign Quality: The single-player campaign is often praised for its engaging missions, cinematic quality, and varied gameplay, despite its short length.
  • Graphics and Technical Aspects: The game is noted for its impressive graphics and sound design, which still hold up well despite the game's age. The Frostbite 2 engine is recognized for delivering stunning visuals and immersive soundscapes.
  • Nostalgia Factor: Many players express a strong emotional connection to the game, reminiscing about their experiences and the impact it had on the FPS genre.

The main cons of the game

  • Multiplayer Experience: The multiplayer scene is largely considered "dead," with a lack of active servers and a predominance of experienced players, making it difficult for newcomers to enjoy the game. Issues with cheaters and server management are also noted.
  • Technical Issues: Users report various technical problems, including the cumbersome requirement to launch the game through a web browser (Battlelog), frequent crashes, and difficulties with settings like mouse sensitivity.
  • Short Campaign: While the campaign is praised for quality, many players find it too short, often finishing it in just a few hours.
  • Gameplay Pace: Some reviewers feel the gameplay is slower compared to newer titles, which may not appeal to all players.

The features or elements that are missing from the game according to users

  • Increased PvE Content: Some players express a desire for more Player vs. Environment (PvE) content to balance the heavily multiplayer-focused design of the game.
  • Improved Server Management: The need for a more streamlined server connection process without relying on external applications like Battlelog is a common complaint.
  • Better Anti-Cheat Measures: Users indicate that the existing anti-cheat system (PunkBuster) is ineffective and leads to a frustrating experience with frequent kicks from servers.
  • Enhanced Single-Player Content: Although the campaign is well-received, players wish for a longer and more in-depth single-player experience.

Summary

  • Overall, Battlefield 3™ is viewed as a classic that has maintained its appeal despite its age, but it faces significant challenges in its multiplayer functionality and technical performance.
