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.
