IGN: Battlefield 3 (PC) Video Review

How does DICE's new shooter shape up now that it's in the wild? Check out the Battlefield 3 (PC) review to find out.

[DaThreats]

Got at least a 9
So people can't say it was a failure.

[Skip_Bayless]

Yup.. PC is done now. The game was suppose to force people to upgrade to PC and ditch 360/PS3 momentarily for the wait of Xbox 720 and PS4.

My girlfriend and I have a long distance relationship. I cut my visit short just to come back home in time to play this awesome game!

Of course she thinks I have an important meeting.

IGN reviews= laame.

game is at least 9.5 score IMO.

[shikamaroooo]

In your opinion? I'm guessing you've finished the game

[evrfighter]

9's a good score.

but come on. It's IGN the 9.5 is reserved for mw3. Be thankful

[Trunkz]

9.5 Are you kidding? They will give MW3 a perfect score just because it's CoD.

[Tachyon_Nova]

Just fyi, IGN gave Black Ops an 8.5, and just the other day Batman got a 9.5 from them.

I bet if you do an analysis of IGN scores versus metacritic averages that IGN are more consistently close to the metacritic average than almost any other website.

[Disccordia]

That extra 0.5% is really important

[swishersweets20031]

IMO this game can be scored whatever. 2, 3.. 10.. 9.. 8 who cares.. BF has a fanbase. Not as big as COD.
Everyone hated on Bc2, bc2 vietnam showed up. people still hate. Slowly.. more and more come to the bc2, and love the vietnam. It is a hidden jem in gaming. I say by next year qoute me on it too.. doesnt matter what shooter comes out.. with full confidence in dice.. this game will be the one everyone says is better than the other.

want proof. look up bc2 vs anything else.. everyone wants more BF over anything else.

[Shackdaddy836]

Kinda bugs me that if they left out SP (giving us less content) then they would have probably received a higher score. I've seen this happen a lot of times on IGN and other sites and it really just bothers me...

w/e. still getting the game and I still can't wait!

[Ducky]

...then the negative would be the lack of proper SP.
Kind of like how it was with Brink.

[Shackdaddy836]

How come batman got a 9.5 without a multiplayer then...

[gravemaker]

12 hours till release

[retrofly]

Lol people acting like 9/10 is a bad score.

[EazyC]

If MW3 gets a higher score than this i'll be pissed!

[AO1JMM]

Agreed

[Tachyon_Nova]

What if it legitimately a better game?

[Organization XII]

it's not

[Disccordia]

Have you played the final versions of both games?

[AO1JMM]

Good review! Just makes me want to play it even more. Cant wait for Origin to unlock my copy.

[Drabent]

What's MW3???:p

[SITH]

Nobody buys a battlefield game for the singleplayer. Dice knows as much.

[swishersweets20031]

i really hope, and i dont mind buying it twice for this.. give us BF3 style vietnam with the vietnam maps n songs but upgraded and with more maps and more songs please from bc2 add random tigers that attack you plz.. to those out there.. yes.. your dinosaure t rex mode lol.. i dont see how it would fit in the world of BF but hell why not.

[newleaf]

Not the second coming after all ??

[Shackdaddy836]

How did it get a 9.5 for sound? What game has better sound than Battlefield?

Tip: go to audio settings and select "war tapes" <- ear orgasm

[Tachyon_Nova]

It can be difficult to hear people coming up behind you for example in BF3, that could be why.

[Wizziokid]

not bad, not bad at all, but since it's IGN they will give COD .1 or 2 points more so it wins. IGN <3 COD

[SageHonor]

Why do people always say IGNorant.. Did any body see those youtube comments lol

Ignorant means being unaware of something.. How can IGN be ignorant if they get the game, play the game, and review it before we play it? If anything the gamers are the ignorant ones...

People are actually whining about a 9.0 score.... Pathetic.

[AsunaYuukiTheFlash]

Is this real or fake??? http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[Cloudberry]

.
As for now, I called it "fake".

[Undeadwolfy]

Here's what he was referring to: http://s2.n4g.com/media/11/...

[Tachyon_Nova]

Definetly fake, the language used to explain each sub score is not what you would expect from someone with a great deal of writing experience.

[Ninjamonkey82]

Ive had every BF game seen 1942 and as a fan of the series so obivously single player has never been an issue as to wether i would by the game are not.

Battlefield fans will rate this game on its multiplayer and how it has improved there imo not on a taced on singleplayer mode. Ive no time for that i'll be ranking up thankyou very much.

All i want to know does my veteran status carry to the game :).

[Ducky]

Veteran status was working during the beta, so it appears to be integrated into Battlelog.
It didn't show up in-game like BC2, but it was there on each player's profile.

[iistuii]

Actually read this review. For starters there bug galore, legs sticking through buildings, bodies buried in the mountainside, floating objects, dead AI still standing, In single player theres hardly anything to fly or drive its short and trite and frustrating, poor AI in coop.Console versions need a patch before they begin to review it. After reading that, and thats what he, the reviewer said, can you honestly give it a 9 Amazing ?

[SH0CKW4VE]

lol at the QQing over the review score.

Really? you expect DICE who just cannot do single player games to come away with a perfect score with a linear, boring and glitchy SP?

Or how about the fact it only has SIX! co-op missons, one of the things I was looking forward to, thats pretty lame.

If they had just released it as a MP it would have got 10 easy.
