About 5 hours to beat the main story of Battlefield 3, and about 7 hours with some of the side content. The story figure is the average for players who went to the credits without much of the side content, so a playthrough that wanders runs longer.
About 56 hours to complete Battlefield 3 fully, about 11 times the main story.
