Definatley The Shooter of This Year To Beat...
To start off with, here's the Good...And the Bad.
The Good:
Great Campaign
Awesome Online
Lot's of online things to unlock(Weapons,Equipment,etc)
Huge Choice of vehicles(Jets,Cars,Tanks,Boats,Helicopters,etc)
Awesome Graphics which are more or less crystal clear
Great sound affects
New Online Modes(Team & Squad Death Match)
Great Gameplay
The Bad:
Not many Co-op missions
No way to practice to pilot jets online
Can not use vehicles any time you want(Campaign)
Battlefield 3 has really changed compared to the previous games.And here's why...
Campaign:
The campaign is just awesome,and there are some great missions that you will really love to play.Also the graphics are just amazing,and you will really find the graphics as clear as anything.There are diffarent missions you can do,like in some missions you control a Tank,in one mission you control a Jet,and Battlefield 3 there are pleanty of great weapons threw out the whole game,a lot of them which are from the Bad Company games.Also the sound effects are just awesome,and make the game really realistic,as well as the graphics.But the bad thing about the campaign is that you can only use a tank in two missions and a jet in one,and you sit in a Humvee while you team mate drives,but then apart from that then thats it,your on foot for the rest of the game.
Co-op:
The Co-op is also really fun,and it is great that they had added this to the game,and it's great to play,especially if you are really bord and want to play with a freind on some campaign missions,but the only thing that spoils it is that thre are not many missions to play in,but apart from that the Co-op is just awesome,and would really keep you and your freind really entertained.
Multiplayer:
Now here's the best part of the game.The online mode is just awesome,and beats every single Shooting game, including Modern Warefare 3.There are 4 kits you use,Assault,Engineer,Support & Recon,You abviouslty start at Rank 1.With the standerd weapons,then you keep on playing and get higher ranks,and unlock new weapons and attatchments.Also you can unlock camos for your soldier's clothing,and when you get a higher rank you will unlock special weapons.but other wise you have to use a certain kit to get new weapons.Like assault,if you keep on using assault you will unlock assault weapons,and if you keep using a certain weapon,you will unlock attatchments.Like sights,lasers,tactical light,bipod,etc.And you can get all the vehicles that you can see in the campaign,and when you use certain vehicles,you can get unlocks for them as well.Like for the jets you can unlock flares,and with tanks,you can lock rocket autoloader,machine gun etc.
Weapons & Attatchments:There are many weapons to choose from,and there are many attatchments to,some attatchments can come in very handy,for example,the tacticle light,this can be used in dark places,but it can be a distraction because if you point the bright light in your enemys face,in shines all over there face and they cannot see anything, but it can also give away your position,so it is also a risk,also the laser sight,it is more or less like the tactical light,except a red light shines in your face.There are many sights like acog,red dot,etc.And there are now bipods you can use,so you can place your weapon in a certain place,you get bipods for all support weapons,and can unlock them for assault rifles to,but with support weapons they are already available.
Graphics:Frostbite 2 have really impressed me this time,the graphics are just amazing,and they make the game much more realistic.And they icture clear,also i don't even think I've seen a game with such amazing graphics before.
Sound Effects:The sound effects are just awesome to,and make the game really realistic as well as the graphics.
Gameplay:
The gameplay is just awesome,and the controls are very easy to use,but if you are not farmilliar with them,then you will get used to them within minuites.
Overall:
I think BF3 is an awesome game,and cannot be beaten by any COD game,including MW3,the graphics and sound effects are just amazing,and the Cmpaign,C-op and Online are just awesome,especially online.And there are many vehicles to choose from and many weapons to.
And finally,here are my final ratings:
Campaign:9.5/10
Co-op:9.2/10
Online:9.9/10(Would of been a 10 if you could do a bit of training before flying the jets)
Graphics:10/10
Sound Effects:10/10
Gameplay:9.5/10
Overall:9.5/10
