    Battlefield fans hoping for the most polished entry in the series won't be disappointed by this massive sequel.

    A phenomenal multiplayer FPS with a polished campaign and smart co-op. Looks and sounds great, but - next to the PC - exposes the limits of the PS3 hardware. [Christmas 2011, p.90]

    The short singleplayer campaign is disappointing, but we've come to expect that from the Battlefield franchise. Online this third iteration is still among the best shooters out there, even though we feel like DICE has made too much changes in an attempt to attract hardened Call of Duty fans.

    So it's a flawed package then, but it's also one that contains some of the best graphics ever seen on a console, and is one of the premier multiplayer games in existence. [Christmas 2011, p.94]

    Another great war game here. The campaign to the game had some kind of spark to it, which is what I was looking for. I got into the Battlefield series when Battlefield Bad Company 2 came out, and I loved that game. The multiplayer in these games though feel the same other than the new jet improvement, which would be the best improvement to the game. I enjoy the co-op feature, and the multiplayer is spectacular. The only problems I have with this game is, the campaign even though I said it was good, needed a little more to it. It didn't spark AS MUCH as Battlefield Bad Company 2 did. If you wanted to play this game, just spend your money and get it. It is truly a DICE masterpiece. It deserves a lot more than what it is credited for. DICE, you have done it again.… Expand

    Yet again another game that takes an excellent franchise and completely stuffs it. I'm currently going through the single player on normal, it would appear that every enemy is an expert marksman and can see round corners, whereas your team-mates (most of whom i would have shot myself a long time ago) appear to fail at hitting a barn door with a banjo. The first 2 games were fun and that's what was great about battefield, FUN. It appears to have taken itself all serious and is far the worse for it.… Expand

    This game sucks on PS3. The input lag and broken VoiP makes it unplayable and Dice have failed to address these game-breaking issues. The over-the-top lens flares and contrast ratios completely hinder gameplay, and the in-game sun is ridiculous. Also, the tactical flashlight is possibly the worst idea to ever be implemented in a FPS. Ironically, Bad Company 2 is a far superior game, as it simply works.… Expand
