Battlefield 3 is an engaging multiplayer shooter, but newbies will find it rather unapproachable.

Wired’s editors take their tentative first steps onto the Battlefield and are summarily shot to bits, in this episode of the Game|Life podcast.
This week, Wired senior editors Chris Baker and Peter Rubin, managing editor Marty Cortinas and I get into the podcast studio to share our experiences and feelings about a variety of things related to videogames, including:
- Battlefield 3 is out and we are not very good at it,
- The announcement of Grand Theft Auto 5 and our speculation as to where it might be set,
- BlizzCon and the panda-filled new Warcraft expansion, and
- Our ongoing “9 for 9″ series of mandatory geek books, games, etc.
The podcast is embedded below, can be downloaded directly, and will be available on iTunes later today. As ever, feel free to write in with your comments and suggestions!
