The game that changed everything…
Above and beyond the call.
Both the game and its marketing were absolutely unhinged, and we loved them for it.
Releasing with trailer music like “99 problems but a bitch ain’t one”, and tag lines like “above and beyond the call”, accompanied by quotes by reviewers explicitly stating: “this game puts COD Ghosts to shame”, Battlefield 3 knew what it was, and rocked with it.
It was the evolution of Battlefield, the next numerical entry in the franchise, with an extremely high budget campaign that STILL looks great, a stunning graphical engine, absolutely immersive sound effects, and so much chaos and destruction that reduced entire sessions to shaky screens and rains of rock and debris everywhere.
It was the beginning of something extremely special for the franchise, and a well deserved push forward to the formula that had already dominated PC’s since the early 1942 and Vietnam games.
And it is without a doubt, a timeless classic, that will forever live in the heart of those who got to experience it when it originally came out.
