There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
However, it's hard to give this game even 4 stars simply because I'm irritated every time I have to open my browser and go through this process of getting into an online match. It's never been even half this complicated with any other game I've played. Instead of launching 1 piece of software to play the game, I have to launch a browser that runs a browser plugin, which starts up the Orgin Software and then the Battlefield game software starts up. I've been playing for about 2 months now and I'm still amazed by how long it takes to get playing from the time I open my browser to the time I can deploy in game. It takes somewhere between 6 and 10 minutes. After I get the message "Joining server" or "Joining game", it can take 5+ minutes while it says it's loading the game.
Here is my insane install experience. No other game has compared to the insanity of this installation. I recorded each step I went through after reading bad reviews about the installation experience.
- download Amazon game downloader and install
- download game about 2 hours
- Run installer which installed Orgin software, which after installing, I unchecked "Start Origin when Windows Starts"
- Hit finish or done
- screen flashes and says there's a newer version of Origin software
- go through install process again for Origin software
- uncheck again "Start Origin when Windows Starts"
- Click finish or done
- Login for Origin appears
- Couldn't remember password (my fault), go through password reset process.
I actually like their process for that. Might need use that idea on some of our websites.
Ok, this part is where it starts to bug me. I really just wanted to install the game and play. Instead, I'm now
having to setup a profile for their connect with friends crap. I get it now; they are trying to be like Steam.
First and Last name were optional and auto filled, so I removed my name. I don't want another social network.
Next I have to setup privacy settings for my profile and account. Control which accounts people can use to find you.
Email Address - uncheck, Facebook - uncheck, Xbox Live - uncheck, Playstation - uncheck.
- Click Next. Sweet, I'm done. Now can I play?
- Enter product code.
- Click Next.
- Agree to another EULA.
- Click Next
- Choose where games will be installed.
- Click Next
- Agree to 4 EULAs
- Click Install Now
- Crap, now it says it's downloading 11 GB of game data again. Oh wait, it just looks like it is. It's actually installing.
- Finished installing and now it's downloading a 4 gig update. More waiting, about 45 minutes.
- Installation Complete - Ready to play message pops up from my system tray, gotta love more crap down there in the tray.
- Check "Play Battlefield Now" and Click Finish
- Whoa, a browser opens instead of the game, hmm.
- Agree to another EULA, wow.
- Select Language
- Welcome Soldier, now it wants to introduce me to new features of something called Battlelog. Can't I just start the
game for crying in the night?
- Click Next
- Tells me that it will be launching from the Web browser when I want to play. hmm.
- Click Next
- Click Next again.
- Here we go; I now have buttons to play Quick Match or Launch Campaign
- Click Launch Campaign, the browser wants to now install a browser plugin in order to play the game. Unbelievable.
- I decide to use Apple Safari which I only use for testing websites during development.
I do not want another plugin running in my primary browser.
Open Safari and login. Message says browser not supported, you can't play the game. Man alive.
I decide to click Launch Game anyway, and bam, it installs and launches from Safari. Yea.
Also noticed two icons running in my system tray. One says Origin and the other says Battlefield.
Both stay running after closing the browser so I had to manually exit both.
The sacrifice of smaller maps and only 2 maps with mobile AA is worth the console version. People are friendlier, they use team work (not excuses or rules to get out of having to use teamwork), And you still get to use battlelog's social features on console. Moreover: So far 100% of pc servers I've joined only have 1-2 maps on their rotations, It seems impossible to find servers that will scroll through all maps or mix and match their game modes. On Console you will find plenty of servers who rotate through the entire map selection and even change up the modes now and then to keep it fresh. There are lots of great maps on Battlefield 3, not just 1 or 2.
Honestly with all the bragging about the PC version I would have expected more from the PC community. Instead I find excuses for not using team work, team mates running around on their own instead of helping out squad mates/team mates, team members simply crashing vehicles into objects (as if they don't know how to pilot/drive planes/tanks, poor server map rotations, and a general lack of organization. If Dice ever brings back officially hosted servers maybe things will change, but as of now I cannot recommend this at all for the online play, you will NOT find any good team mates or squads to enjoy yourself.
Still, because of the game itself, I'm giving this 4 stars. I Don't want to hurt the game's rating simply because of it's community.

It is the normal (regular) edition not the premium...
Fair price and fast shipping. I wasnt able to replace the product for the
one that I paid for.
So 3 stars !
安かったので別にいいかと割り切ってしまいましたが、
届いた商品が違うのはまずいでしょといいたい。
ほかの方も言われていますが商品が違うものが届きました。
まあ、プレミアム登録購入しているので結局届いたスタンダートでも問題ないのですが・・・。
(プレミアム登録すると、Limitedで使えるマップや武器が一緒に入っているため。)
自分は大丈夫だろうと、ほかの人のレビューを無視して購入したら同じ轍を踏みましたw(<<忠告聞けよと自分に言いたい)
ゲーム内容は、Battlefield1942からプレイしているユーザーですがすばらしいの一言ですね。
これほど進化するとは思っていなかったです。
Codシリーズと比較すると完全にオンラインに特化しています。
いろいろありで「ごった煮バトル」が出来るのはBFシリーズならではです。
あと自分はBFBC2から移ってきたのですが「操作性」がだいぶ変わっていて、はじめ違和感がありました。
ただ現在ではBF3に慣れてしまって逆に今ではBFBC2の方が違和感がありますw
(何でBFBC2は伏せて撃つことができないのかとかね〜)
BFBC2から変わった点を上げると、弾道計算が大幅に変更されています。
(BFBC2よりも小さいGで計算されているというか、実際の重力計算で行われているのでシミュレーターに近いものになっています。
BFBC2の重力は倍くらいで計算されていたので弾丸の落差がBF3のほうが小さく慣れるのには時間がかかりました。)
武器の種類が非常に多くなっています。
あとアンロックが非常に多く全て解くのには数年はかかるのではないでしょうか。
環境ですが、当方型遅れのFX-8150とGF670で遊んでいますがグラフイック高設定、平均70-80fps出ていて問題なくプレイできます。
もう少し遊んだらSLIと120Hzディスプレイの組み合わせでもやってみようかと思います。
やりこみ要素が多くBF1942以来のロングセラーゲームになるのではと思います。
(BF1942ですら未だ世界中にサーバーがあるくらいです。)
ゲーム自体ははまっているので、星はマックスにしました。
