BF3 on PS3 is actually not that bad, it holds 30FPS for the majority of the campaign and for it’s time looks allright

Multiplayer is still active trough BF3 reborn but you need to mod your PS3 to play it, i played it 2 days ago and there is like 30 people still living the dream :D

Obviously the best way to experience BF3 is PC

Are you sure you have to mod your PS3? I thought it was just a DNS address change?

Depends on your case, you need the online pass thing, store was taken down so you need to mod the ps3 in order to install it.

If you played BF3 in the past with the same account you dont need it as it remembers you.

But many people dont have it so they need at least HEN.

Otherwise it’s simple DNS change
