When
it comes to virtual battlefields, nobody does it quite like the
Battlefield series. It has a long history of creating sprawling conflict
zones where players have an exhilarating range of ways to make powerful
contributions to the war effort. The competitive multiplayer mode in Battlefield 3
stays true to tradition, delivering an online combat experience that is
amazingly addictive, immersive, and exciting, with refinements and new
elements that make the familiar action feel fresh. Unfortunately, the
stale single-player campaign fails to capitalize on the strengths of the
series and feels like an off-brand imitation. The six cooperative
missions fare better and offer a tougher challenge, but only the
competitive multiplayer provides a compelling reason to buy Battlefield
3. With online battles this excellent, though, that reason is all you
need.
There
are many factors that combine to make these battlefields as good as
they are, most of which will be familiar to series veterans. Nine great
maps set the stage for up to 64 players to fight it out in a variety of
urban, industrial, and military locations.
These places all look beautiful, though the grassy hills and blue skies
of the Caspian Border are naturally more appealing than the drab urban
corridors of the Grand Bazaar. The maps vary widely in size and offer
diverse environmental elements, including claustrophobic tunnels,
coastal roads, desert plains, and a variety of multistory buildings.
Many man made structures can be damaged or destroyed by the explosive
tools at your disposal, creating new infiltration routes or removing
cover positions. The maps are designed to create opportunities for
combat at all ranges, and the element of destruction lets you manipulate
the environment to create even more
Combat
is not just about where you are, but also about how you get there, and
the variety of vehicles is one of the things that makes Battlefield so
uniquely engaging. Small maps might only have a Humvee or a light
armored vehicle, while larger ones boast buggies, tanks, amphibious transports, helicopters, and jets. There are a few variations within each class of vehicle that make them
better suited for troop transport, anti infantry, antiair, or
antivehicle combat, and learning how to get the most out of each one is a
blast, even if you're sometimes the one getting blown up. Battlefield
3's competitive multiplayer is among the best in its class, providing
immensely rich and immersive combat zones. These are complemented by the
slick browser-based Battlelog, which serves as the hub from which you
access each game mode. With EA's Origin software running unobtrusively
in the background, Battlelog tracks your unlock progress, displays your
stats, and enables you to join parties and launch games easily.
Battlefield 3 may not offer much beyond the multiplayer, but there are
so many ways to contribute and feel like a powerful soldier that after
hours and hours of playing, all you'll want to do is play more
