Battlefield 3

On October 25th 2011, gaming giant EA released one of the most awaited games of the year and the next in the series of the award winning franchise-Battlefield 3.

A game that is to online gaming what Rajnikant is to cinema. It has satisfied gamers and critics alike, and made them wanting for more.

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.There are many factors that combine to make these battlefields as good as they are, most of which will be familiar to series veterans. Nine great maps set the stage for up to 64 players(on PC) to fight it out in a variety of urban, industrial, and military locations. These places all look great, though the grassy hills and blue skies of the Caspian Border are naturally more appealing than the drab urban corridors of the Grand Bazaar. The maps vary widely in size and offer diverse environmental elements, including claustrophobic tunnels, coastal roads, desert plains, and a variety of multistory buildings. Many man-made structures can be damaged or destroyed by the explosive tools at your disposal, creating new infiltration routes or removing cover positions. The maps are designed to create opportunities for combat at all ranges, and the element of destruction lets you manipulate the environment to create even more. one of the unique selling points of this game is-VEHICLES. Small maps might only have a Humvee or a light armored vehicle, while larger ones boast buggies, tanks, amphibious transports, helicopters, and jets.The maps and vehicles allow for a great degree of strategic freedom, but choosing your class and loadout is the first and most important decision you make before spawning into combat. Unlockables include class-specific weapons and gadgets, gun-specific sights and attachments, and specializations that can make you tougher and deadlier. Focusing on one class to unlock higher level gear has its advantages, but so does spreading around your progress in an effort to be more adaptable to the ebb and flow of combat.

But as the saying goes-’none is perfect’. The game has its own drawbacks, namely-high graphic requirement (NVIDIA GTX 560 or more is recommended), a boring storyline, only six cooperative missions and no way to practice jet flying except multiplayer.

However battlefield 3 will be remembered in gaming just like Shakespeare’s’ work in literature. Its a fantastic addition to your gaming wardrobe, but only because of its dazzling multiplayer.
