The delicious Frostbite 2 engine

I’ve been playing BF3 now since release and you wouldn’t think they could improve on an already amazing multiplayer experience. How wrong you can be! The new maps are superb and well plotted out. I thought a lot of the maps in BFBC2 were just vast expanses which were ideal for snipers but in Battlefield 3 there’s some levels where sniping proves very difficult even impossible. I personally play the engineer and it’s nice to have improved weapons that have a better range. The rocket launchers are also punchier providing ‘M’ kills (Mobility Kills) and ‘K’ kills (Catastrophic kills) producing a much more realistic experience. Lots of people I know who bought MW3 are returning it to the shops to exchange it for something else – shame really as I’ve always been a fan of the COD series but it died for me a while ago. Unsure how IGN arrived at the same score for both games but I guess there are purists for both titles.
