Battlefield 3

                                                                     
   I was a late bloomer in Battlefield, I started with Battlefield 2142 (still consider my favorite). I stop playing for awhile and when obtain a Xbox 360 I had got into Call Of Duty. After playing the many incarnations of the series it was time to play something new. I play BF: Bad Company a year ago, I was very late with it. I quickly grew back to BF franchise and got addicted BC 2 (late on that one as well). So knowing Battlefield 3 was coming out, I had to pre-order it. I played the beta and was rather dismissive about buying but know it was not the final product of the game I still had hopes.

  BF 3 delievers a lot more than the beta did. Campaign wise, the game was really good and I thought it was a lot more believable than the BC games. It felt like you were thrust into a actual combat scenario and some parts were a little boring and bland but the game was never for single player really. Multiplayer is where the game shines (now I have not played the PC counterpart, so this is strictly console-wise). I found it really addictive to get attachments for weapons and leveling up to get more weapons. Vehicles add to depth to game as well, but let me say the jets take some time to get use. It really fun to see yourself soar through the air, or crash in trying to learn the controls. The maps are actually bigger than I thought, some are small but it make it a lot better for pace. I had a couple of problems with the game but it seem like DICE is working around the clock to keep things working to standards of gamers and that I appreciate. The beta problems I had seem to be none existent in the actual product.

  Now I want to clarify that I really enjoy both BF and CoD series. But at the end of the day I am going with Battlefield. It is more of my type of shooter, CoD is more of a fast paced quick reaction game and can go lone wolf. Battlefield 3 punishes you for not being a team player, I like to talk about where a sniper is and spotting them for a partner to snipe out. It is more of slow pace game just to clarify and it takes some time getting use to. I played CoD for so long that it really started to rub off and stop getting suckered in buying another one every year. That how I feel about Sports games as well....seriously who buy Madden every year? Just buy one and stick with it. Getting off track now, but all in all Battlefield 3 is the best shooter I played this year so far. I have not delve into Modern Warfare 3 and probably will way later on.

So see you folks on the battlefield ^.^

Will ever see another one? I hope so.
