Blog Post: The Honest Battlefield 3 Review

Let me start off by saying this game is absolutely amazing! It's perfect in every single way! The campaign is the BEST campaign I've ever played! You'll mostly hear the soldiers say the f-bomb all the way through. That's pretty awesome! In the beginning of the game, you're a soldier being interrogated by a bald guy in fine clothing. You really feel intimidated during these cut-scenes. You're being forced to retell your story to this bald guy in fine clothing. People might say that this is an exact rip-off from Call of Duty Black Ops, but I say "NO!" In Black Ops, you're being interrogated by a faceless guy, but in here, you're being interrogated by a bald guy in fine clothing - which is TONS better!

The campaign is extremely linear. But this is just amazing! If it were more open like the other games, it won't be as fast paced as running down an ally way. Don't worry! It still feels like BF! As there is a level that has you driving a tank in a very beautiful, brown desert! The graphics are amazing, and just the overall look is incredible! The grass is green and the dirt is brown. I wouldn't have it any other way. The graphical prowess is unmatched! If you look all the way down, you get to see your legs. You actually have legs in this shooter! This is extremely unique - especially compared to today's standards. I don't know a single shooter, scifi or modern, that has this kind of realism! Being able to look at your legs is revolutionary.

The guns are extremely realistic! I have not seen a single game with this kind of realism in weapons! Realism is all that matters in a game like Battlefield! Having recoil is necessary! It may not be overly fun, but it's realistic, and that's what Battlefield is all about. So, I welcome all the recoil! The vehicles in the game is fun as well! The helicopters are nearly impossible to kill - especially if an engineer is in there. But if you try and use the Stinger to destroy the helicopter, you'll probably get banned from the game by admins. I'm completely fine with this! That's your fault for disobeying their rules! You may also get banned for being too good. Again, this is a good thing. Because nobody wants to play with good players. Everyone should be sure to be fair, and share the kills. None of that lone wolf stuff! This is Battlefield after all.

There's also a coop mode! This is pretty much just the same as the campaign, but with people! The coop is insanely fun, because the campaign was fun, and since this is a copy and paste feature from the campaign, this is fun. In one level, you're able to drive a helicopter. I love this mission, because if I'm in the gunner seat, I don't have to do anything in the level, because the weapon isn't very powerful! This gives me time to use the bathroom, and eat my dinner. Trust me, you'll have a good time with coop.

This is one of THE best games I have ever played. I recommend this game to everyone! Even if you like RPGs and racing games alone, you'll love this masterpiece. If you don't own this game, go buy it! You're not doing yourself justice. Battlefield 3 is as revolutionary as shooters can get! I really don't want a Timesplitters 4 or a Half-Life 3, because I'll be playing this beautiful work of art for the rest of my life!

Overall:

Characters: Bald guy in fine clothing=Thumbs Up

Weapons: Recoil=Thumbs Up

Story: Typical military adventure=Thumbs Up

Setting: Deserts and grass=Thumbs Up

Blog Post: Not the Call of Duty Killer We Expected

Battlefield 3 is definitely NOT the "Call Of Duty Killer" as it was originally believed. It actually shares a lot with COD, and only really has better graphics in the end.

The Campaign is horrible, with a less interesting story than MW3, which this game was clearly trying to compete with. The graphics are amazing, although I would reccomend downloading the 2GB graphics update. It looks a lot better. It only last for about 5 hours, and has a happy, although definitely suprising ending. The campaign can definitely be skipped and isn't worth it to anybody other than those who don't play online all that often.

The Co-Op is like the the co-op missions in MW3, and they are more fun here than on COD. They are challenging for people like me, and just fun for more skilled players, I imagine. It is definitely worth playing at least a couple of times for when you get tired of playing the multiplayer, if you ever can.

The Multiplayer is amazing. It is definitely better than MW3, both with gunplay and graphics. The maps are a lot larger than CODs, which is a good excuse to have all the fun you can with vehicular mayhem. The game modes are mostly stuff already seen in games like COD, but they have a different feel and are a lot more playable. Although this game isn't as friendly to noobs as MW3 is, which should make playing COD a walk in the park after fighting in a park in Battlefield 3.

This game is an easy buy for any shooter fan who wants to see what EA can have on the shooter market and for anybody looking for a break from all the fast paced fun action of COD. This is a more than worthy replacement of COD, if not a better one at times.

Blog Post: Mediocre.

I am a huge Battlefield fan since 1942. This game was a disappointment in my opinion. Battlefield 2, 2142, and BC2 are far more fun than it. The bad: Huge balance issues, mediocre maps, exploits, Terrible singleplayer, far less destruction than the previous game, medpacks for assault class, horrible server side management of latency caused by out of region players (which has never been an issue in any other BF game), tons of people intentionally joining game modes to try and ruin it for others in various ways which constantly makes the teams uneven. The good: graphics, capture the flag, some cool weapons, good animations, prob best machineguns ever in BF game, pretty cool motion blur effects in certain sequences. The only reason it sold so well was the ridiculous amount of marketing towards young people, and pre orders from the far superior previous game BC2. The only reason people love it is because many of them have never played the other previous games in the series, and don't know what they are missing.

I played through this and like everyone else I was impressed!!! I did have a few minor complaints. The fact that they added night vision, but that their new light source engine made it impossible to change the level lighting outside scripted events. The fact that this made certain levels with glass panes that never broke a bit annoying. Or that after waiting for a few minor game mechanic changes in single and multi-player, it looks like we'll be waiting for the fourth installment in the series.... That being said, I had a blast with the single player missions!!! I never really gave the overall look of the game enough credit until the act that the convoy get ambushed in the woods by snipers. I was shocked at just how good everything looked!!! Not to mention they brought a whole new level of vehicles into play. However, like a lot of people. I've got some of my favorite memories of squad based shooting in Bad Company: 2.... I can't think of another title I've been able to get near as many "Steel Wings" into. Truth be told, I'm still wondering how much the last piece of DLC will mean to the gaming community. Now that BF4 is on the way....
