I missed the PS3 days so I bought this game only to find out when EA switched from Origin to EA play killed the game for me until I found out the only way to legit play online again is to get Venice Unleashed. I haven't seen any cheaters so far but if anyone wants to play this online again get Venice Unleashed. Its free and Fuck EA.

Bought this only for Venice Unleashed so I can play against bots. Despite its dead multiplayer mode, it's hard not to recommend this game. I'd advise buying it on sale and don't forget to install Venice Unleashed which is sort of Battlefield 3's community launcher that allows you to host or play on custom servers, and MODS! Gotta recommend fun-bots as well(which is a VU mod) so you can add and play against bots(and that's my sole reason to buy this game tbh). Gameplay-wise, I like how destructive and chaotic this game is. Whether you're playing on singleplayer campaign or the multiplayer mode, you can feel the intensity and gritty atmosphere of the battlefield -- the shouts of your teammates and enemies alike, the explosions, the crumbling buildings, and many other things. There are tons of weapons, attachments, and camos at disposal, ready to spice up your experience in this game. As we know, Battlefield's strength lies in its multiplayer, so even though Battlefield 3 has a decent campaign, it's obviously not on the same level as CoD's campaigns. It clearly shows how the developers tried to copy the battle-tested formula of CoD's storytelling and level design and slapped it into Frostbite. It had potentials, but I don't think they worked on it to its max. The story is quite good, though. It has quite a plot twist, and I won't tell the spoiler here ;) As someone who played Battlefield 2, the pace feels much faster here, which used to be a turn-off for me as I prefer the more balanced pace of Battlefield 2. However, after spending hours in the multiplayer mode, even though I play only against bots, I came to appreciate it and understand why it's regarded as the best game in the series. It's just a lot of pure fun and chaos, and so many kits to play with. I live in Southeastern Asia, so servers are scarce here. The pings are too high and no players found in them. That's why the only feasible way to enjoy this game to the maximum is playing with bots. I believe this is the closest experience we get from its prime past. Thank you for reading this far, Kurdgeon
