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.
The amount of times I would replay this video was absurd. I loved everything about it , if felt like the closest a game had gotten to a cinematic movie
Pure nostalgia, at 18 still in school, skipped class to buy the game early in the morning with my mother. Invoice and packaging available. Thanks for this day, Mom.
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.
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.
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.
I remember getting so excited when this came out. I pre-ordered this game and it was the best decision I made. I still play online with my buddies. This game will never die and remain the best of all time.
This is my first exposure to bf3 i have only played bf1, bad company 2, and bf4. This is looking amazing for an 8 years almost older game. Much more realistic than cod However with COD I have forever been following it... But I think i might be missing this gem out... I will definitely play it this or next year... Putting it in my wishlist
Man I really wish people would still play this game's multiplayer today. It's a million times better than 99% of multiplayers today. An absolutely outstanding game, I can't believe the graphics and gameplay from 2011 still hold up in the 2020s. I wish games were made like this nowadays but all we get are soulless cash grabs like OW 2 and Fallout 76.
+Eric Collins Yeah, I like that reload animation better than the little gun click in BF4 or the gun mag smack in BF3. The 1st crawling animation is a lot better imo too
Zharakov they fucking removed the front sight post in the final release when you ads.. it just dissapears even though it's in the acog's line of sight rofl
The first time I saw this shit I was said, "HOLY SHIT! That looks amazing!" And this looked NOTHING like like the final product. But every time I watch this, I get a huge nostalgia trip. I feel the warm summer air, sitting in my grandparents home in a big comfy chair, and watching this in awe. It was one of the best experiences of my life.
***** I play on PC 100% maxed out with all settings maximum 1920x1080, 4x MSAA and it looks nothing like it. BETA had way way way way way waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better gun models, way better animation and lighting
Same here I play on PC max settings and it looks nothing like this. That ACOG looks so much better. Even the animations look better. The lighting in the beta looks so much better. It's sad.
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.
It's still hard to believe that DICE created this masterpiece and forgot everything about how to create a great FPS and released the dumpster fire called 2042. WTF happened to DICE?
Most developers left to work on other stuff. New developers these days are talentless and mass hire, also corporate greed and low production times. The companies found the "best" way to maximise profit
Salke X hahaha yup , but just wait and see , those companies will produce graphics in maybe next 3 gens that makes us think our eyes are lieing to us haha
10 years later it still looks so great...😘
That's right bro 👌👌👌🤜🤛🔥🔥🔥
@@ridermalli2560 no
To think this game is now closer to the 90's than it is 2023 is crazy to me.
5 years later and it still looks great.
This is true. For all the glitchiness, you've got to say, the frostbite engine looks great.
Still love this game!!! o/

12 years later still get me chills in this game :)
The graphic of Battlefield 3 is just awesome for a 2011 game. It look like 2016
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.
BF3 on PC looks exponentially better. On pc it still looks beautiful, even though it's over 5 years old now
Now it got it :D
yeah for sure

Why we can't have nice things anymore

Couldn’t even afford Live Gold
Cool story bruh
The amount of times I would replay this video was absurd. I loved everything about it , if felt like the closest a game had gotten to a cinematic movie
I've actually enjoyed BF3 more than BF4.
Same here. I think personally it's gameplay is better than that of BF4s.
same here.
But now, i often play also BF2 xD
BF3 is better overall. You feel like you're in the heart of the war.
BF2 was a legend...
Yeah the single player was certainly better. The multiplayer was about the same, however I felt bf4 felt a bit smoother, and introduced 60hz+ servers
Pure nostalgia, at 18 still in school, skipped class to buy the game early in the morning with my mother. Invoice and packaging available. Thanks for this day, Mom.
No Problem Son
The best battlefield ever!! EA and Dice need to go back to this type of battlefield
yes
"The best battlefield ever"
Must not've played anything before BF3, then.

13 years old and still better than 2042 and most if not every FPS campaign I've played
Even BF3 from 2011 still looks better than Infinite Warfare.
Why can't I see battlefield 3 in GameStop anymore?
+Recon Playz they dont put it in the display. You just ask a worker if they have any.
I suggest you to buy it on PC if you have one try g2a, you can get bf3 for 13$ premium and all lol.
xD
i'm Cod player and that's true
It's so great to see an 11 years old game looks as good as current generation. Outstanding engine optimization 😳💯
11 years later and the graphics have aged well
10 years, wow. Way ahead of time.
8 years later guys. still amazing, still remember the first time i watched this back in 2011... the chills.
this trailer sold me into the battlefield franchise
Yeah and this is th eonly original and realistic moment of the game. The rest is pure cliché.
2020, still just waiting for a better game than this.

@KARAN TEJ You serious?
Check out Doom Eternal.
Beats the bfV reveal
BF2 actually beats BFV, obivously in terms of fun and average lore, gameplay.
The fight scene with the ear ringing after getting hit and the music placement was better than the final release
the sound design of this game is just incredible
I have tears on my eyes, 2011/2012 memories... such an amazing game.

Yup you are right , there is no "best game" it's all about personal preferences.
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.
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.
this looks better than bf4!!
Bf3 is better than 4 I think
That is true
No 4 is better than 3
All of this is a matter of opining. Don't start fighting over your own opinion
Bf3 only better in campaing
13 years passed but still this game rocked with its graphics
Bf3 was and still is the most enjoyable and badass game I've ever played

I played this game so much. I know that mission like the back of my hand. The replay value on this game was amazing.

I can't believe Battlefield 3 is 10 years old and it still looks amazing.
I was only 12 at the time when this came out. Truly a nostalgia trip.
When I watch this I realize how DICE really fucked up with Battlefield 4.
