My most expected first person shooter (FPS) game acquisition this year was to purchase Battlefield 3. The previews looked stunning , nevertheless there was some fear that what was shown in the previews was the PC version, and would probably be watered down to play on the video game consoles. Thankfully console gamers will not be dissatisfied.

System Comparison

The Xbox360 offers a 'lite' install and an entire HD install as well. It’s well recommended that you prepare your hard disk for the full set up, as the textures come quite close to the Personal computer version. The minimum install has blocky textures that really belong to an earlier edition of Battlefield. It says something in regards to the graphics in this video game that they have had to pack everything onto 2 DVDs and still call for extra downloads. In comparison to the PC, in case you ran them side by side, you would notice a difference, but when you run this in full HD function, you’re sucked into the combat and the difference is not noticed. The Playstation 3 images seem to be slightly more crisp than the Xbox360. However, the actual sound is amazing - the radio chat and the explosions, and the aerial action all increase the realism.

Single Player

When you purchase Battlefield 3, you get two disks - one for the multi player version, and another for the single player. The single player game is somewhat disappointing. The game is over too quickly, and the narrative is not very original. You can suffer from some cheap deaths which is frustrating, and you hardly get to pilot any if the vehicles you see in the trailer. In fact the one vehicle you get to operate is the tank for a while. There is also a co-operative version which usually builds on the main theme, but this is concludes very quickly too. Most gamers report that they can finish in one afternoon of gameplay.

Multiplayer

Your multiplayer is what saves the game and helps it be worthwhile to purchase Battlefield 3. You can sign into games of 24 players (two teams of 12 gamers) which is lower than in the PC edition, in which you can play 64 players at a time, but that is understandable considering the quantity of PC gamers in the world. The maps themselves are totally massive, and you have access to fighter jets, choppers, assault gun ships, tanks and jeeps. The details are not just a graphic display, but really add to the sense of realism of the gameplay. You’re able blow up everything in your path such as walls and other barriers, so there is absolutely no safe area to camp. The creators at DICE have made playing as a team vital to a successful campaign, so communication and sticking together are abundantly rewarded.


Finally

There are some issues on the Battlefield servers with delay and difficulty logging in, but it is nevertheless in the early days, and it is expected they will be ironed out. If you're debating whether to purchase Battlefield 3, look no further for your ultimate multiplayer FPS experience.
