Confrontation Battlefield 3 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is about to end. We have already tested the brainwater so expected Dice, And before the release of the new “Call of duty”, a few days remain. And no matter how the latter is good or bad, certain intermediate results can be summed up now.

One in the field … warrior?

Firstly, let’s say about a schedule, which was presented as almost the main trump card of the project. Yes, the game is really damn beautiful – the FrostBite 2 engine gives out such a picture that we have not yet seen before. Moreover, owners of not the most powerful machines will be able to join the latest achievements of progress – even on medium settings Battlefield 3 It looks amazing.

With such enthusiasm, alas, you can not respond to the “single”. Developers, in the first Bad Company, pampering us with large -scale levels, finally narrowed the cards and turned them into cramped corridors. Fighting on the border of Iran and Iraq, a fight on the train, jogging on sunny Paris – all missions are reduced to the ingenuous shooting of a demented “meat”. In the breaks between the tasks, we are treated with plot videos, but trying to delve into the local script – more expensive.

Like in COD, Interactive scenes dilute the action, and with cinematography in BF3 Full order. He will get along the roof of the house under sniper fire, and clean the face to the main villain in a long QTE, and storm the bank building. It was also not without classic attractions like pokatushki on a tank or an uncomplicated “stealth”.

The previous lines may get the impression that the campaign is not worth it and start. However, we still advise you to go through it. “Single” will not be difficult to master in a few hours;it is dynamic and, despite the fact that nothing new is brought to the genre, is quite fascinating. The main impression of him is visual. It would seem that it can be special on a standard tank trip? We met this in more than a dozen militants. But you would have seen how the dust swirling over the road, how the drunk technique is burning, how the sun shines dazzlingly brightly. Similar sensations Call of Duty She stopped giving her elderly engine for a long time, and only for their sake it is worth looking at the “single” Battlefield 3.

On the battlefield

However, the main dish of the series was and remains the multi -user regime. And fortunately, it is expectedly magnificent.

In general, the mechanics of the multiplayer almost did not change. We have four classes – an attack aircraft (he is a doctor from BC2, only without machine guns), an engineer, support (former Assault, who got a medicine machine) and a scout, that is, a sniper. By choosing specialization, we go to one of three (except for variations – Squad and Large) modes. In Rush, the task of one team is to defend two relayers, fighting on a relatively small piece of card. Forwards must destroy goals before the “tickets” that are spent on the revival of soldiers end. In Conquest, we need to hold points. A team that plays the struggle for the territory begins to lose “omissions” and, as a rule, suffers defeat. There is also Deathmatch, but this is rather optional entertainment in the evening or two.

First of all, it is worth noting that network battles have become more diverse. This is mainly the merit of locations that are designed for a variety of games. For example, the Metro station recalls funny and dynamic battles from COD – Here speed and reflexes are more important than complex tactical maneuvers. But the Caspian Border is a completely different story. We need well-coordinated command actions, it is necessary to use the equipment (by the way, aviation fans can rejoice: the planes have finally returned), but the superman will not come out of themselves-the sniper will instantly put an unlucky hero in place.

Russia again became one of the parties to the conflict. Particularly patriotic gentlemen are probably beside themselves with happiness.

It’s nice that BF3 extremely friendly to beginners. Here everyone will find a lesson to their liking. It is not possible to shoot accurately and take enemies in bucks? Choose an engineer class and repair the allied equipment. We conducted thousands of battles in World of Tanks and you cannot live without steel cars? Please – collect the crew and go to crush the enemy bodies with caterpillars. Want to amuse pride by killing one enemy after another? You are a direct road to cards like the already mentioned “Metro station”.

Among other things, the developers used modern technologies for the benefit of the gameplay. For example, weapons can be attached to a tactical lantern that disorients opponents with bright light. The so-called fire on suppression finally received an intelligent implementation-when bullets whistle nearby, the picture is lubricated, so now a machine gunner, pouring a lead strategically important street, is able to hold a position alone.

All this is flavored with a rich and logical system of “pumping”. Experience is awarded almost every sneezer – no one will remain offended. Playing for a certain class, we get a new equipment for him and replenish the arsenal, as well as grow in levels. For “guns”, a whole heap of improvements is available – all kinds of sights, thickened trunks, silencers … In addition, the more often and efficiently it is possible to use transport, the faster we will allow us to install additional weapons and useful “gadgets” on it.

We do not vouch for absolute reliability, but by the standards of the mass action movie the tank is controlled and looks quite convincing.

Finally, the most important thing is multiplayer Battlefield 3 Simply spectacles. The efforts of several dozen people (the maximum limit on the PC is sixty -four users on one server) creates a real film. For example, it is impossible to forget one battle in which I was lucky to participate just the other day.

We played in rush on the narrow streets of the “eastern bazaar”. The enemy had only one point, but the number of our “tickets” was rapidly decreasing – it was necessary to attack. And we went to a desperate offensive. Just imagine – mortar volleys are rattling around, a machine gun shakes (the sound, of course, is beautiful), concrete crumbs are spilled from the surrounding buildings. Only one street remains to cross, but the opponent is defended from the last forces. Grenades fly into our shelter-it seems that it’s over … And suddenly a tank of allies leaves from some kind of lane, hiding behind which we cross the unfortunate road and manage to blow up the retranspace. It is very difficult to describe the sensations that you experience when participating in such an action.

In addition to multiplayer and “single”, in Battlefield 3 There is a joint passage mode. We are offered to defeat six fleeting episodes, almost not related to each other, together with a friend. The cooperative, apparently, was finished in a hurry – except a good sniper mission is printed in memory. I remember not even the most successful “special operations” from Modern Warfare 2 were more entertaining.

The only thing that can spoil the impression of network battles is the disgusting Battlelog service. Add friends, look for a server and connect to it, we are forced to through a browser. In addition, the system works poorly and gives one error after another. And if you still can join some battle, but, let’s say, you want to fight in another company, you will have to leave the game, and then start it again.

The main advantage Battlefield Multiplayer has always been and remains. But if earlier the series was extremely carefully stepped on a single -user territory, now in this regard COD A worthy competitor appeared. Add a great picture here, chic design – it seems that the “call of the duty” has less and less chances.

Well, you just need to wait for the response Infinity Ward. However, what a sin to hide-if the success of the plot campaign MW3 is still possible, then the multiplayer is unlikely to offer something new. The authors will have to try hard to make us break away from delightful network battles Battlefield 3.

Pros: peppy “single”;magnificent multiplayer regime;Beautiful graphics.
Cons: Nightmare service Battlelog;Weak cooperative.

Battlefield 3

The best comments

Single) after passing Battla, I don’t even think about buying mw3) I download a pirate for the sake of a single and that’s it)

I have already played decently, 42 UR … There is experience and I want to say the opinion of BF3 -)).

1. About the

review.
Single, I can’t buy it until I missed it. But I’m 100% sure that it will not surpass mwf2. By tension, drama and dynamism. (Until the “single” in MWF2 for me the standard).

. “In addition to the multiplayer and“ Singe ”, the Battlefield 3 contains the joint passage mode. ”
But it’s not strange, this is an important part of the multiplayer, since for the passage of missions you can “open” some of the best weapons in the game.
(Revolver-killing from 2 shots or one in the head, well, my beloved rifle “G3A3”-super accumulated in solitary shots and will probably only give way to F2000).
The same mission “Helicopter” allows you to deal with the mechanic of fighting by a helicopter.

. “The only thing that can ruin the impression of network battles is the disgusting Batllelog service. “
I like. Very convenient, informative. At any time, friends can join you, during the game you can always make your statistics, Angoli, look for new servers, etc.d … must be able to use))
Constantly improves battlog, it becomes more stable and more convenient.

But you have to cut the picture specifically and play almost at the lowest settings. Although my computer allows you to play BF3 at the settings of the ultra with all non-mental smoothing and buns with FPS 60-80. But the loading of cards when changing them takes a lot of time … And when you enter the battle, you have already dismantled all the equipment and the points are captured))) If you want to be in the front of the planets – play on low graphics settings ..

Save the servers where there is no rotation of cards.

2. Conclusions and impressions (mine).
Game (multiplayer) turned out to be good and solid. Play must be played.
The main 2 pluses is of course visualization with sound + use of technology.

Well, the rest is all ordinary:
– With all the variety of weapons of classes, they are “the same” of the same type, there is almost no difference with which weapon you run
– The engineer has too many charges for a grenade launcher, Jvelins are not very effective
-Weapons for “levels”-there is nothing cooler than UMP-45 ..
– Aviation (in skillful hands, or better a squad) – Uber!
– Sniper, this is the best target for a machine gunner … Especially for my beloved G3A3 =)) (you feel more safely – shooting at 700m, but given that this distance of the bullet flies 3 seconds … It is difficult to get)
– There are no normally implemented calculations in the game, and constantly flipping through a bunch of weapons, changing equipment, camouflage, depending on the situation, quickly bothers.
– Many of the “chips” of the game can only be implemented in a competently adopted detachment. Illumination, intelligence, support, crews of equipment, a combination of the detachment itself, etc.D. What makes a single player and rand a squad more like a target than a combat unit.
– A lot of cheaters – a lot! He played on the server, where there was a normal program “Anti-CHA” and in 5-6 hours while it was chopped there, a man of 30 or more banned … (http: // users.Stopgame.ru/gallery/zab/album/1300/here are screenshots, how it looked)
-infuriates the “dull” kill-camera … Why do I need it? Why should I know what the Wedder who nailed me is doing? It is necessary in MWF2 – show how he nailed me. This is interesting – and I am science and I wonder how it was, I can see Chitakov ..
-The “Normal” mode strains with its stability of infantry to damage … It’s not you want to spend 15 rounds on a person … And having jumped out one on 3 behind them to fill up almost unrealistic-the cartridges will end … So my choice is inventive hard when you can fill up with it with it.the queue of the queue, but you can getter the same with a shallow bullet … There is already tension and drive from the game of another.

Honestly, the other and is unlucky from the game. All my hopes and disappointments were justified. I play with pleasure and look forward to mwf3.
For me, the MWF2 multiplayer became a revelation – very dynamic, a variety of weapons (namely varied, and not modeling different as in BF3). A variety of “mixes” calculations for the individual style of play and situation. Bonuses for Kill Sticks and T.D. and t.D ..
If the MWF3 is like MWF2 – but a bit of new changes and buns (for a variety), well, of course, new cards – it will suit me by 110%. I will light a infantryman and call Harriers with air strikes on the heads of enemies. )) Well, but I want to rule the technique of BF3 all at hand. ))

CONCLUSION.
In my opinion, BF3 game for the community of players, since loners and random Pugi are meat for them. Many interesting combinations can only be implemented in competent interaction.
Therefore, we must unite and play together.))

In the MWF, the share of the “skilled” fighter is as a combat unit higher, which is more attractive when you play one or in a small company.

In BF3 on cards with technology – I use in 90% of cases only its. Rush modes in 90% sniper. Well, and the maps “infantry” metro and bazaar – the mode of the game Hard (or good/correct custom).

In BF3 I like everything, but the video card does not pull … = (
The other day I will buy a new one. And in mw3 I only like the single t.To. Multiplayer there just sorry “for*mouth”, no variety.
And then what’s the point of playing the same thing every year, but with new cards, people should probably get tired of people. What are the developers only think?

Farm, and I hoped to touch and grab the minuses)) a kind of sorcum, and I hoped to touch and grab the minuses))

Then write with a caps about the fact that you do not like SG only in a rude form and I guarantee you minuses.))

I agree with all the opinions of the author, but about the battalglog of an overlap! Personally, I had such an impression on the beta test, now having figured out almost all the details of the battogle, I really like it and I’m glad that they came up with it.

how so … why about music in the pros/minuses did not write anything? definitely in pluses) she is so delightful

1. Sound – yes, physics – almost, destruction and ballistics – yes. But there is no Tesselia of surfaces. Perhaps it will be made in a patch, but so far the graphics are inferior to the 2nd of the Kraisis.
2. 64 player cards were before, not?
4. Well, far from the simulator. And do not confuse realism and realism.
5. Now porridge is going on, if you play alone, then almost everyone does for himself and goes to where he wants. But this will pass over time.

Campaign in BF3 – also a screenshot tire. Dais followed the path of code, everywhere in the campaign you can see the ears of the code.
Cod multiplayer will not be paid. COD itself: Elite can be used for free, some buns that are somehow useless will be inaccessible.
There will only be a free version of Elite for a PC.
