A Battlefield 3 Dream
Sam0316 | April 27, 2013 | See all Sam0316's reviews »For those of you that are Battlefield fans, this game will either be a hit or a miss with you. A lot of the game mechanics, such as surpression, sun glare, etc. will either add to your realism feel or really break the game.
However, for value, this is unbeatable, as this was on sale for $35, and included the DLC , Premium Service, and the base game! Considering I have friends who paid over $120 for Premium and the Game, even at full price of $60 this is a real steal.
If you don't like EA's online server policies, walk away now. All servers are owned and operated through EA, and if you are looking to host your own server, it must be through EA and follow all their rules. In addition, many people consider those without Premium to be at a disadvantage because of all the premium weapons and perks. However, seeing as this package includes premium that won't make much of a different.
All in all though, this game gives you constant multiplayer action, allowing you to roll out in tanks, fly jets, or rock out as 4 different infantry classes (Assault, Engineer, Support, and Recon). Whether you play alone, or as a team, this game is fun, and having spent over 200 hours on it, I can say it was worth the time and money.

The ultimate package in one!
Coolicy | Feb. 5, 2013 | See all Coolicy's reviews »In practice, this is actually a great deal. A typical full price for a game but this one includes all DLCs, right now it's on sale for 50% off too! I bought BF3 when it released and subscribed to the premium edition when it was available, and I didn't regret it one bit.
This package includes a full length campaign and multiple coop missions, but those who know BF3 knows that its true value lies in multiplayer. Which is why this package has superb value, and even more so when on sale.
There are modes that is more tailored to the CoD crowd, and vehicle focused for the hardcore BF3 crowd, and maps that features the perfect balance between the two ala BFBC2. You will get all the DLC as said earlier, and each of them are all of great value. I loved all of the map pack EXCEPT the Armored Kill one, that one is slightly too big and too vehicular focused for my taste. Those who love the BF3 vehicular combat would feel right at home.
All in all, this package is a great deal, even when it's full priced at $59.99. It's on sale now, and GMG frequently has vouchers that you can apply. Definitely pick up this game to scratch your FPS itch.
