Battlefield 3...best shooter of 2011

i actually beat the campaign and i thought it was amazing, it isn't anything like black ops like most say. They say the whole interagation thing is, but even that isn't like black ops really. I just think in my opinion with all of the shooters ive played, its the best. Call of duty's is 100 percent chaos from begining to end, but BF3 has more of a rainbow six feel to it

lolwut?

I despised the campaign with a fiery passion.

Multiplayer is easily best MP this year though.

Campaign is 5 hours, lol.

Multiplayer is great though.

The campaign in Battlefield 3 was nothing more than an elongated tech demo with quick time events; it was the complete opposite of what video games should be. Not a single segment in that campaign felt like it was original, new, different or managed to get me on the edge of my seat. Which is a real shame because DICE could have taking the time to create a unique game that played off the elements that make Battlefield, Battlefield, but we didn't.

Battlefield 3's campaign can be summed up with one equation. f(x) = f(x+h) - f(x) / h^2, where h =/= 0.

Had no joy playing it. Even the MP is kinda boring.

Campaign and Co-Op are a waste of time. Multiplayer is dumbed down for consoles, as with the entire game. It's been recieved as a flop critically and a huge disapointment by the fans. In no way whatsoever does Battlefield 3 deserve any accolades.

I found the campaign to be pretty standard shooter wise. Gears 3 was way better in that regard however. I found the BF3 campaign to be thoroughly enjoyable. Go here, shoot stuff. Go there, stuff. Mission accomplished. Fun stuff.

MP was amazing IMO. Too bad I hardly play anymore due to school and other interests and such. Was a great game. Still need to DL my Karkand maps.

Yeah, I really don't see the massive hate for the campaign. It's basically the same thing everywhere else. Granted, I never played Resistance, Killzone etc.

But for a shooter these days, what do you expect? An oscar winning plot? An insane amount of variety? Not too many ways you can play with the "terrorists shooting at you shoot em back" formula.

It was a good fun romp before I went to MP. I found the soldier death scene sad actually, poor little kid and his T-Rex toy. :(

Dinosaur mode should be a legit thing. T-Rexes stompin all over tanks and Pteradactyls ripping Jets out of the air FTW.

EDIT: link for your entertainment :P

Gears of War 3 was by far the best shooter of 2011. I was actually pretty disappointed by all the other major shooters (BF3, MW3, Resistance 3, KZ3, Crysis 2).

:lol: at that link.

I guess I'll have to add that word to my vocabulary. Very accurate though.

The SP is not the best for a shooter. I would say Crysis 2 was better than BF3 in terms of SP (I have not played MW3).

But BF3 easily has the best MP.

[QUOTE="ferret-gamer"][QUOTE="Da_lil_PimP"] Yay me for getting that equation ^_^DarkGamer007

It does have some of the best graphics of 2011 as well:

The campaign was just terrible.

Im having fun with BF3 didn't play COD yet f dat game im over it ppl need to move on to better things

While the SP campaign was slightly above average, its mp is awesome and surely BF3 was imo the best fps last year..

I also enjoyed KZ3, MW3 & Brink !!!

It's certainly the best multiplayer shooter of 2011.

The campaign is pretty woeful, to be honest, around 5 hours of pretty graphics, endless quicktime events and uninspiring plots. The multiplayer is really good fun, on the other hand, at least on some of the maps (Caspian, Firestorm, Kharg, Canals and the B2K maps).TheOtherTheoG

I find the mention of the quicktime events to be absolutely absurd.

There was a few, but the way they are referred to around here it's like here was a QT Event every 5 seconds. That's just pure hyperbole.

More like best multiplayer shooter. The singleplayer was abysmal. Resistance 3, Crysis 2, and even MW3 had far superior campaigns.

nah

bulletstorm, sure it was short but it had gameplay that tried something new and it delivered good gameplay in spades.Who cares if it was short there was a lot of fun parts in it and doing some of the challenges were entertaining aswell, shame the multiplayer seemed a bit dry though :(

Crysis 2 and Resistance 3 were the only AAA shooters with good campaigns this year.

Found BF3's SP to be absolutely terrible, found Serious Sam 3's SP campaign to be much better.

BF3 just like the other BF games will be remembered because of its MP not SP

The campaign is pretty mediocre... but it is a nice to look at graphically.

The reason to buy the game though is the multiplayer, which makes it the best shooter of 2011, your sarcasm aside.

Even if that were true, 2011 was a pretty weak year for shooters compared to previous years.

Sure, but the campaign... could've been better.

Battlefiled 3 on the consoles is a disaster in every way.

And don't get me started on the campaign. :evil:

That´s Gears 3. Followed by Battlefield 3, yes.

I am a huge BF fan, but its was only the best MP shooter, its campaign was not at all the best, and the co-op was just okay.

Idk what the best singleplayer shooter of the year is, but its definitely not MW3 or BF3.

The campaign is probably the worst FPS campaign I've ever experienced. And I'd say the most fun shooter, mechanics wise, of 2011 was actually Rage, yes I know that may seem blasphemous, but the gunplay was just good proper fun.

Best game with shooting, probably Deus Ex: HR

Best multiplayer BF3. However, Dice really pisses me off with some of their decisions with 'art' direction or camera position in vehicles::granny plastered to windscreen mode-engaged::
