Game with 2 faces

Battlefield 3 is (currently) an extremely double-edged sword. On the one hand the game in my opinion is have so far been achieved by any other recent game in its intensity and longevity. Once you've entered the battlefield, wants to put up so quickly it down. The variety of game modes (Squad Rush, Squad Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Rush, Conquest, Conquest Large), huge maps, each with their own charm and are decorated beautifully (the Base Jump in the enemy base through to spawn on the aircraft carrier and following the invasion, including landing hovercraft on the mainland) and a huge number of weapons and especially vehicles (main battle tanks, armored personnel carriers, helicopter gunships, reconnaissance helicopters, fighter jets, ground attack aircraft, boats, jeeps, troop transport) contribute to that one never gets bored and always something new to discover. This of course comes the rise in the level and collecting medals and badges which unlock new weapons and weapons systems for different vehicles, which contributes significantly to the motivation. The weapons and vehicles you can also upgrade to his own desires, each weapon has 3 slots, for example, with silencer, Visir (partially up to 18 various) or flashlight can be assigned. The vehicles also have 3 slots, here, for example, a battle tank can be equipped with a coaxial MG or smoke grenades. Personally, I'm still busy on unlock, but the possibilities are almost endless. The weapons also feel all very well and are all extremely different, not like in Bad Company 2, where this difference was hardly noticeable. Add to this a fantastic sound, and the weapons, but also the environment and the effects of popping right. Personally, I have only a stereo speaker syste, but even then the sound is simply stunning. It reaches its full potential, of course, only on a 5.1 or even 7.1 system. And graphically, Battlefield 3 also very good to speak of a milestone would be an exaggeration, compared to Crysis 2007 the quality of the textures) is significantly worse especially the gameplay of Battlefield 3 really Overall, feels like a real battlefield , but just virtual. Everywhere it clatters mightily, in lofty heights beharken bitterly the Jets and unnoticed by the enemy makes the small EOD Bot bomb sharp. So ma can imagine Battlefield 3 and I think if it were only that, Battlefield 3 would gewurden the best shooter of 2011. Maybe even the last 10 years.
But unfortunately, there are some things that interfere with the game. Firstly there is unkontroliebrbaren and irregular crashes, sometimes after hours, but in some cases even at the start of game or the game starts not only. Coop itself works only if you the latest driver from (I can only speak from Nvidia, I myself have a Geforce 9800 GT) Nvidia on the computer has version 285.62, but dazü leads that Mikroruckler in almost all graphics cards generations 400 out of and 500 series of Geforce occur. This is so not fun. When the older uses version 280), everything runs smoothly (from the error message that appears before each game start that you have an older driver and only has to click away, you apart) and smooth, except for the Coop where you can not move , when start the game. Sometimes you can solve this problem by wild herumgeklicke with your mouse countless Tab outs. The Battlelog itself is also extremely buggy and still frequently displays error messages that are simply wrong, for example, that the server is full, which is not true, or that you would have the game not installed. Generally it helps to restart the Battlelogs or New connection attempt to Server.Die filters also work not properly if I want Rush, for example, sometimes creeps Conquest server with. The single-player, however, seems to be the only game modes, has no bugs currently. All other modes are edible only with a lot of frustration and a lot Gedulg.
To the whole again clearly say: Battlefield 3 is indescribable, extremely bold and bugged fatal. I hope that's enough to explain;) But yes Dice was never for good programming skills known.
In addition, of course, comes Origin. Without Origin not Battlefield 3. Everyone who wants to play BF 3 must be installed Origin and have turned on while playing. This has 2 disadvantages: first it devours resources and 2. it scans your computer, and not just your Battlefield 3 folder, but your entire hard drive.
I want this Theamtik which is already discussed on countless websites, not tear here, I personally have come to terms with Origin.
Finally, I can say the following:
Who is frustration resistant and may have to (hopefully) baldig appearing patches patience and can put up with the spyware, which can buy Battlefield 3, and is on the battlefield (if he einmaxl it is) have a lot of fun. Who can not have these 3 things that should keep your distance.
4. factor of course is a computer with enough power on my dual core with 2x 3.0GHz, a Geforce 9800 GT and 4 gigabytes of RAM and Windwos 7 running it on low - medium to approximately 30- 50 fps.
But here let me say that the difference between low and maximum marginal and actually shows only antialiasing AA) and lighting.
Who still has a Windows XP system, I can only say that Windows XP is the best operating system in the world but you have to decide: Either Battlefield 3, or Windows XP.
In short: In Windows XP running Battlefield 3 does not, any more than on graphics cards that do not support DirectX 10.

I hope you can start with my review something and can now better decide whether the purchase of Battlefield 3 is worthwhile for you or not.

Otherwise, a lot of fun on the battlefield :)
