Reiner And Phil Play Battlefield 3

EA has not been shy about how they want Battlefield 3 to compete with Activision's behemoth Call of Duty franchise. Can they hope to pull this off? Reiner and I dive in to DICE's tense shooter to find out.

Check out the first half hour of Battlefield 3's single-player campaign as Reiner and I discuss Friday Night Lights, the perils of life in Des Moines, and the fate of our long-time shooter friend, Follow.

 

If you enjoy the video, be sure to check out more Reiner and Phil on our hub page.

  • It won't freaking work.
  • Finally?! THIS IS HILARIOUS. They're good.... Psst...

  • Looks not so great. The graphics sure, but the 'press this button for an awesome real-time event maneuver' sure is lame. It's like playing an action movie you say? It's really no different than pushing pause and then play when you're watching the real thing. But of course, gimmicks look cool. Cool looking things sell.
  • I've had a lot of issues with origin and battlelog.

    I don't really care for the overly cinematic button movie moments though. It just seems like all 'modern' shooters are the same though these days. Great graphics, smooth gameplay, but over the top plots and set pieces..and I'm sorry. I hope Battlefield does very well, and hope it beats CoD(my personal bias), but they just seem so...similar. in this iteration.
  • sweet I now have something to watch!
  • Well, *cracks knuckles* lets see how this game really is before I buy it. Between Batman, This, and Dark Souls, what should I get? I can get 2
  • Are those pigs hanging in an islamic market? lulz Also, this looks like an 8 tops.
  • I want to play this game so bad.

  • Looks alright.  I'm not a big fan of military shooters, but my eyes have been on this.

  • Battlefield 3 has stunning attention to detail. It perfectly captures the dangers of everyday life here in Des Moines. It's pretty chaotic. :/
  • "Give war a chance"
  • Great video guys, been waiting to see what you guys think about Battlefield 3. Having served in the military as a 19K Armor Crewman, I would like to answer some of the questions asked during the video.

    1. "If there is going to be swearing in the military I want none of it" Soldiers do in fact make extremely heavy use of profanity so yes, you probably won't like your time in the military especially a combat unit.

    2. "Do you think the military still uses paper maps?" Yes, basic land navigation is extremely important and is a requirement, especially for combat units. If you don't have access to a PLGR (a military GPS) then you will need to know how to use a military map with the grid reference system and a basic compass to navigate.

    3. Oscar Mike, which means "on the move" is actually used a lot in the military along with Roger even during normal conversations. So if your sick of it in military games..I imagine it would drive you nuts hearing it all the time even in casual chatter.
  • i LOVE Reiner & Phil videos. that is all.

  • Yes my favorite character ever is in this game!  Follow 4 Life!

  • There's only one thing I got out of this. Why the heck are those stairs so freakin' long?!
  • Oh yeah. So many things about this is fantastic!

  • The saying is "clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose" if i remember correctly
  • Character models, textures, and cut scenes all look great. I'll have to find out more about the campaign(length specifically) before I decide to buy.
  • Mirrors Edge 2 with that engine? Yes please...and I always wish I could be named fallow in games too...Ok, once Skyrim comes out I'll name my second character Fallow.
  • I'm sad because I want to see you guys play the game but the video won't load. *sad face*
