Battlefield 3 is one of the finest looking first person shooters released in the last year. In campaign mode, players take on the personas of several military roles; a USMC recon Marine, an F-18 systems officer, an M1A2 Abrams tank operator, and a SPETSNAZ operative. The campaign takes place at various locations, from Iran to New York, and follows the story of Sergeant Blackburn and later, Dimitri Mayakovsky.
We used custom settings, shown in the image above.
The Alienware X51 is perfectly capable of playing this game with reasonably high image quality settings. We could actually push the image quality a little higher and still aim for 30 fps+.
