BattleField 3 review

Battlefield 3 leaps ahead of the competition with the power of Frostbite 2, the next installment of DICE's cutting-edge game engine. This state-of-the-art technology is the foundation on which Battlefield 3 is built, delivering superior visual quality, a grand sense of scale, massive destruction, dynamic audio and incredibly lifelike character animations. As bullets whiz by, walls crumble, and explosions throw you to the ground, the battlefield feels more alive and interactive than ever before. In Battlefield 3, players step into the role of the elite U.S. Marines where they will experience heart-pounding single player missions and competitive multi-player actions ranging across diverse locations from around the globe including Europe, Middle-East and North America.

Forget everything you thought the beta showed you about Battlefield 3, the game is going to give Call of Duty a run for its money.
For many console gamers, the constraints to a beta level with no vehicles and only one game mode caused lingering thoughts of whether or not Battlefield 3 will carry out what it intends to do, which is compete with Call of Duty. We can assure you, it does. The combination of class-based, squad-based, FPS action and vehicular combat bring together a package that is as refreshing to fans of the Call of Duty franchise as it is to gamers who won't let go of Battlefield: Bad Company 2.
Right off the bat, players will stand in awe at the new, immersive war zones that each multiplayer map constructs. The beauty of Battlefield 3 was in question for sometime, as the PC vs. console comparisons started to surface and the HD texture pack was revealed, but the game delivers. It is beautiful, there is little to no texture pop-up (although we haven't experimented with the texture pack not installed) and the environments bring battle to life.

The classes are the core of Battlefield 3 multiplayer, just as the other iterations before it. Players can pick between Combat Medic, Engineer, Support and Recon. Fans of Battlefield 2 will enjoy seeing the Support class back in action, but the class that is catching everyone's eye is the Combat Medic. DICE figured the players at the front lines are the guys with enough guts to run into the crossfire just to save a dying buddy, and they were right. Between the Support and Recon classes providing covering fire from afar, the Engineers defending command posts from enemy vehicles and aircraft and the Combat Medics holding the front lines while reviving and healing each other, players get a real sense of being in a unit in the middle of war.
