This game is 11 years old and still better than a lot of modern FPS games. Battlefield 3 was phenomenal. Leave a LIKE and a comment, thanks for watching.

BF3 is the first Battlefield game I ever played. Such an awesome game

[@user-fx5cd4px3k]

started with BC2, then got into BF3. two really epic games. BF3 being my fav.

[@mduggy1396]

Playing mw3 with bf3 were the days

[@F1REBEARD]

BF3 was fantastic! My first was actually BF1942, the very first BF game. Way back when we had dial up modems, or we just got adsl, can't quite remember. But that was so immense and truly an extraordinary experience. Coming from the fist doom and Duke nukem games, it changed everything.

[@DastardlySnake]

@@F1REBEARD same dude battlefield 1942 was so sweet on PC , awesome music, and then the classic Battlefield 2. “Stop Yacking and get off this net!”

technically i played the ps2 bf2 modern combat first (was good) but bf3 was my first multiplater bf game

[@shawcobra]

BF3 was ahead of its time, and compared to games today it still is.

[@cpp705]

@ZeeTheRonin he says there are no games that are ahead of time like bf3 was during it's time

[@AxeltheD]

The sound design in this game still is absolutely unmatched. The snappiness of bullets whizzing around, the patter of gunshots in the distance, even the whoop of a rocket flying by: amazing.

I agree. But the new MW2 just top it

my favourite thing about this game is that the DLC's weren't some leftover maps that devs used to get some extra cash by releasing them later, they were all thought out parts of the game that you had to have, every one of them stood out and each added so much to overall experience.....
