This is footage froma high end (for the time) PC. The PS3's graphic power is significantly less than that of a high end computer, so the graphics have to look worse on the PS3 for the game to run properly.

[@vanhalen4life1]

Cool story bruh

[@johnthedude8221]

I replayed the PS4 BF4 campaign. And I will be brutally honest and say it is trash. Everything that was once EA/DICE 'Battlefield' was stripped from the TEAM/BROTHERHOOD status and replaced with 4 soldiers COD style bullshit against an entire Chinese AND Russian Army in BF4. Absolutely terrible, and not even just that, but it was so lame while compared to BF3 where you actually felt like a Marine, placed in a scenario WITH A FULL SQUAD of at least 12 men, where you got split up during an earthquake, and then eventually would fight along side of almost three dozen other Marines on a street side in Iran. BF3 made me immersed in the gameplay, fighting for the guys around me. BF4 was, hey, you go do your thing my little 4 soldiers you, and you kill everyone. COME ON DICE. The next Battlefield CAMPAIGN seriously better not forget that a war/battle is not one singlehandedly. But as a team. At least have a squad of 10-ish soldiers like you did in BF3 the whole time. Made it more fun. And had me glued to the game. BF4 is literally a play one mission, get terribly bored, and take BF4 disc out and play another game kind of bs.

[@obimitt.]

This masterpiece was just waaay ahead of it's time - that frostbite engine was killing it back then

[@Model_BT-7274]

[@Slixbra]

[@laughy38247357075834]

I think BBC2 was better but meh it's subjective

[@PhoenixRed96]

I bought BC2 in 2016 and I don't understand why people like BC2 campaign more than this. However the campaign was pretty good too but bf3's campaign was awesome. If battlefield 4 wouldn't be sloppy with only 7 missions and If it would go on only as good as the first mission It could be another awesome battlefield. Unfortunately they rushed it because of ps4 release. And then we got hardline and battlefield 1 those campaigns are just average. I don't know how you guys but I'm afraid that we will never get a good battlefield again. Battlefield 1 is overrated because people wanted to see activision's infinite warfare in flames. There's not that much to do in multiplayer. Less than in battlefield 3. I understand that it's first world war and you shouldn't be able to customise your weapons but then they should make more realistical gameplay (less health, slower sprinting, smaller movement speed while walking backwards etc. This chaotic battlefield is mostly fun when there are vehicles we all love (Helicopter, modern tanks) I think battlefield 1 should be about WW2. People like it way more than the first one. One more thing I wanted to mention is that the multiplayer is only as fun as battlefront, they both makes you enjoy the game for the same period of time. But still Battlefront has 5/10 and battlefield 1 is 8.5/10 just because It had campaign that made few of us perhaps cry but It actually didn't have a story. It was 2-3 missions about someone's revenge or so. If you don't agree with me, then try to imagine If you would like to ever repeat a battlefield 1 campaign. And then imagine If you would like to ever play battlefield 3 again not for nostalgia but for pure enjoyment of very well made action situations in singleplayer.

How could they have had this tech and still went so far backwards with 2042 and battlefield 5?

I loved 3... buttttt BFBC2, Like any doom game just cuz its doom, Quake was great in its day... But I won't lie, id be happy for a bf3 remaster where they just slightly upped the graphics, maybe added a few extra maps from legacy games like bf2 or something, and I'd be one of the happiest people on earth.

[@harpseal9234]

seeing how well the package of the hole game was as a hole , i would throw titanfall 2 and battlefield 1 up for those nominations too

My personal favorite as well. I was just a kid when this came out, I remember back in 5th grade me and my friend would go to his house every single day after school and on the weekends and take turns playing BF3 on his gaming computer. My parents didn't even allow me to play shooting games at that age so I couldn't do it at home. Had so much fun with that game, Noshahr canals and metro were 2 of the best maps ever.
