Special Features of Battlefield 3
Beyond their signature multiplayer, EA have included a full single-player campaign and a co-op campaign. Battlefield 3 players can enjoy the return of jets, prone, and 64-player multiplayer (for PC gamers). Other features include:
* 24 player support (on Xbox 360/PS3)
* Improved environment destruction.
* Return of commander role
* 4 classes
* Single player campaign + co-op
* New, improved unlocks
Battlefield 3 Classes
Debate surrounds EA's decision to limit the classes in Battlefield 3 to just four. Some Battlefield veterans were hoping for up to seven classes in the game, to cover all bases: medic, assault, spec-ops, anti-tank, and more. However, there is likely to be the option for load-out and customization.
Battlefield 3 Weaponry
Unlike Battlefield 2, where achievements were rewarded with guns, Battlefield 3 will reward players with secondary, explosive, and primary choices for complete load outs to tackle one or more static classes. For example, a Sniper with C4 could cover most bases of an Engineer or Spec-ops, whilst a Spec-ops with an assault rifle and grenades could cover the bases of the Assault class as well. The M4A1 and M249 is also rumoured to feature in Battlefield 3 for Medic, Spec-ops or Support classes.
Battlefield 3 Game Engine
Battlefield 3 launches gaming into the future with Frostbite™ 2, DICE's latest state-of-the-art game engine. Frostbite 2 delivers superb visual quality, with an incredible sense of scale and destruction. It also provides cutting-edge audio and lifelike animations to provide a more realistic battle experience than ever before. Battlefield 3 players will be fully immersed physically and emotionally into battle, providing a gaming experience like no other FPS.
Battlefield 3 Vehicles
The Battlefield series is famous for its emphasis on vehicle warfare and Battlefield 3 aims to up the ante with its jets, helicopters and tanks. This is enhanced by sonic boom in an impressive line-up of land, air and sea vehicles.
Battlefield 3 Maps
Battlefield 3 is set to delight with the return of Urban Combat, including the map Bagdad Burning. Other maps will take you to the USA, Middle East, and Europe for battles in narrow streets, busy downtowns and open, vehicle-friendly landscapes.
Prepare for Battle, Soldier!
EA have announced that Battlefield 3 will be available sometime in Fall 2011.
