Review by IGN
“…When you shut down Battlefield 3 and let the Frostbite 2-powered dust settle, it certainly has some problems. But DICE’s adoration of and expertise with the online experience permeates every aspect of its multiplayer. Regardless of the narrative missteps or the occasional glitches, Battlefield 3 offers an unforgettable, world-class multiplayer suite that's sure to excite shooter fans, whether they fired their first bullet in Battlefield 1942 or have just now heeded Battlefield's call of duty.”
IGN RATINGS FOR BATTLEFIELD 3 (PC)
8.0 Presentation
The multiplayer’s robust, the browser-based launcher works well, but those
who don’t play online won’t find much meat in the other modes.
9.5 Graphics
Frostbite 2 shines in multiplayer, single-player, and co-op.
9.5 Sound
You’ll hear every bullet whizzing by your head, and the crash of rubble all
around you.
8.5 Gameplay
Traversing the enormous world feels great, on foot or in a vehicle, but the
single-player’s quicktime events are just lame.
9.5 Lasting Appeal
Multiplayer unlocks will keep you chasing the dragon for months.

This game should have been titled Battlecrack 3. While the single player campaign is short and rather cliche, where this title really shines in online play. Its just seriously challenging and addictive gameplay, the huge amount of gear available to unlock keeps you going for dozens of hours, and even after that there will still be loads of fun to be had.
Graphics are gorgeous cranked up on my high end pc, but the game is perfectly playable and still looks ok on lower spec machines. Still you will want a quad core and at least a 5770 or better to get any sort of decent frame rates out of it.
For the first week I had this game I barely left the house, playing about 40 hours. I'm down to 1–2 hours a day now and I'm still in love with it.
With four classes, various combinations of equipment loadouts, and all the tanks helicopters and jets to fly, there are just so many different strategies you can play this game with.
If you want to get hundreds of hours of fun and huge value for money buy this game.
If you have a job to hold down, studies to complete, or a family to spend time with you may wish to think twice before buying.
