Heroism on this battlefield is not about making an all-out adrenaline rush toward glory. It's about steel-eyed determination in combat designed to be chaotic, dizzying, and completely unnerving. Battlefield 3 is built on the Frostbite 2 game engine, which creates an incredibly lifelike world and pushes it to the quivering edge. Calm - and everything else for that matter - can be shattered at any moment. Keep your wits about you on realistic missions that demand precision in the face of chaos. Lead a squad of U.S. Marines through urban hotspots in Europe, North America, and the Middle East or go online and see if you can survive 24-soldier multiplayer.

Very disappointed that you need a gamer pass even to play local multi-player...at least on PS3's.
Game was more realistic than previous COD/Battlefield-type games.
Just wish multiplayer and online play was available for more than one game, instead of paying a separate fee for different games.more
