Battlefield 3 for Free!

Originally published on Kupeesh!


Have you been longing for the days when you could play a Battlefield game that didn't make you pull your hair out?  How about an FPS that not only looked good but didn't make you wonder if your last visit to the kill cam was legit or a game glitch.

If you've been saying you'd never play another Battlefield game again even if it was free you may want to reconsider.

Till June 3rd, EA has offered up Battlefield 3 Standard Edition for free as part of their ongoing On the House promotion.  Normally $19.99, the PC download is available via EA's Origin service.

For the uninitiated, Battlefield 3 was a military themed FPS set against a backdrop of a modern day global conflict.  A long awaited follow-up to Battlefield 2 and the Bad Company Series, the game had garnered an almost cult following shortly after its release and set the bar on what an FPS should be.

That was due to cutting edge graphics, a wide variety of maps and dozens of weapons, vehicles and loadouts to choose from.  Arguably, it was the most immersive FPS experience of its time if you didn't count its primary competition Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

All of which were promised but only partially delivered by Battlefield 4 at this point.
You can't beat free so invest a little time to experience one of the best triple-A titles to come along in the last 5 years.

A claim Battlefield 4 won't be able to make for at least that long...
