Battlefield 3 Review...
Pros
The graphics and animations are A-mazing
The Voice acting is EXCELLENT
After a dime-a-dozen modern warfare titles, its refreshing to have a plot worth uncovering.
Gameplay and sound effect is on point.
Screw BC2, damage system here is how it should be...
64 players on PC... I will take one DVD please...
Waiting to see what I can drive, what I can shoot, how people play, who I can kill
I foresee a spinoff of this engine being used for WWII and Vietnam as remakes of BF42 and BFV EASY
A more realistic enemy count
Some really engaging scenarios... Recall the sniper bit? Or the plane section?
Multiplayer...looking forward to playing THAT!
Cons
Its modern warfare... bORING!
Really short singleplayer
Extremely linear storyline
Awkward mission triggers, that you sometimes can accidentally bypass causing bots to stand about
Bots are almost as stupid as CODMW2, just less aggressive
Lacks dismemberment... Should have had
Not that interesting character faces... Apart from yourself and one 2 others.
death animation... I am spoiled for CODMW death styles.
Plot leaves you hungry. Realistic, sure... But still lacking CODMW awesomeness
BIG NEGATIVE, COOP is like CODMWs and not sandbox?
Score
8/10
Final Word
I really felt for the 3rd in the series should have had EVERYTHING captured from BF42 and BF2, including a free-for-all cap the flag type deal rather than human-vs-bot missions, and I think it would have been worth something if you could use vehicles more freely in singleplayer like you can in MP, just so you get the Battlefield-ness...
Finally, the AI was painful! However, the gameplay, like Medal of Honor Reboot and BFBC before it, gameplay rules the day... and after playing it, I feel CODMW3, which i am yet to get, will simply have a stronger storyline, but as painful a singleplayer experience as ever...
all in all, I rate this game higher than CODMW-anything, because it at least kept the title going. CODMW-anything, simply causes me to plead 'No more, please no more- You've killed COD enough as is'
