BF3 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
There have been plenty of reveals at GamesCom over the past few days, one of which involves the new game mode in Battlefield 3: Team Deathmatch. DICE has confirmed that Team Deathmatch in Battlefield 3 will support 24 players on all platforms, and will be without vehicles. Team Deathmatch will be focused entirely on tight infantry portions of regular maps.
While 24 players doesn’t sound like much compared to 64 players in conquest mode, remember that the map is tighter, the gameplay is more focused and intense. Bad Company 2′s squad deathmatch was limited to 16 players and never managed to feel inadequate. Which leads us to squad deathmatch in Battlefield 3: it hasn’t been confirmed, but it’s easy to imagine 12 player teams be split up into 3 squads in Team Deathmatch.
whoa thats heavy
WHYY DICE, WHYYY?
NO VEHICLES?
because the maps will be tighter, if you want vehicles play conquest or rush, vehicles are awesome but a game mode without them will also be great, it depends what you want, if you want vehicles DON’T play deathmatch, its that easy.
You wanna know why there’s no vehicles in TDM?
Just look at CoD with the killstreaks in TDM.
Once a (few) good conscious player(s) get into an armored vehicle the game is over for everyone else on the other team.
Im actually a little surprised theres negativity towards no vehicles, personally ive always hated their inclusion in *some* of the game modes/maps.
Squad deathmatch for example, they give you a smallish map to have a decent scrap in, and dump an LAV in there and it makes it feel rather lob-sided. Yeah, theres the challenge of stopping others getting to it, but I cant help but feel that it would simply be *balanced* if it was all on foot.
For people who actually like the on-foot combat, and still use teamwork and tactics, your pretty much out of luck in BC2. Rush – Vehicles, Conquest – Vehicles, Sq. DM – Vehicle… and yey for 4v4 squad rush, all 3min of it.
Its nice to have a populated game mode where we can run around without someone plonking a tank on a hillside and shooting at random dots scrambling about, heli’s flying about when there isnt an effective anti-air weapon in there…
Im not fussed about TDM, but i’ll play it from time to time to get away from the tanks & co, it wont be as good as Cq but it’ll be nice to have a mode free from heavy & air vehicles.
By all means, i want plenty of vehicular mayhem in the bigger maps, i’d LOVE just the option of joining no-vehicle servers, but that doesnt seem to be possible. This is, for me, not the next best thing, but its better than always having them in there.
**im not 100% sure if there is a no-vehicles setting for PC hosts, but i dont recall ever joining one, and you cant quick search for them**
It would be unreasonable to expect a high player count in a deathmatch game mode. Can you even imagine how frustrating a 32 vs. 32 TDM game would be?
Maybe like Conquest 64 with everyone ignoring the flags and without tanks?
Graphics over Gameplay
What are you trying to say?
Yet another weak attempt at trolling.
graphics over gameplay these days
Soo, MINEXRAFT has crap graphics and millions of people play it. Get your head straight.
So your saying you dont like blending in with suroundings? Would you like to fire colored blocks?
I’m okay with that, of course I will only be playing Conquest and Rush anyway, since they’re by far the best modes.
I like them to i also enjoy onslaught.
Meh, no big deal
I’m glad they’re focusing the action. Squad Deathmatch was alright, but the map was sometimes 2-3 rush sections :X.
Squad Deathmatch is 1 close quarters area from Rush. Can you name one thats 2-3?
Off topic: when do you plan on posting the rest of the multiplayer fact sheet?
Also, curious to see how big the map size will be.
I’ve been wondering about that too, mainly why the Weapon & Vehicle info is missing the specialisations, cos theres some interesting little bits on there IMO.
Such as there being 7 types of Soldier specialisations, and Squad versions, meaning that speciailisation is assumingly given to everyone in the squad.
Some co-ordination and you can go Ammo+, Armor/vest+, Pace+, suppression+
or you could all go ammo and possibly gain very little (maybe quad ammo boost?)
Remember, no body armor and no magnum ammo, this isn’t Bad Company.
This is lame. 32v32 team deathmatch with utter destruction on a huge urban or country map would be more than awesome. I’m buying a PC version not a console version, damn it DICE.
on all platforms meaning it will be like that on PC also
you don’t need 32 v 32 deathmatch……… itd be chaos, spawn and you’d be killed from behind instantly and it would be far too chaotic
besides, campaign is the way to go
So Conquest and Rush will be the only 64 player game modes. I can deal with that. I always hated the Bradley in sqdm so no vehicles is a plus. I can’t wait to do some 12 man infantry teamwork with my fellow AoD members. I really want to see some Rush Karkand footage now.
Rush is 32 players
Karkand or Wake island..
:D
Rush on Wake Island will be amazing and unique, but I can’t help but think a map with more destructible buildings would be more interesting to see.
Seriously? Only 32 in Rush? I can’t believe I missed that. So Conquest is the only 64 player game mode currently announced. I feel like only one is a bit of a wasted of ability. Lets hope for some brand new 64 player game modes. It’s not that big a deal to me though, Full bc2 pc rush games get choked up as it is.
Rush is nearly impossible as the attacking team with 16 defenders, and now you want 32 defenders?
i dont know what to say if im happy or not but it hink im not happy since the vehicles are not in it.maps without vehicles feel way too cod like.like basra and sharqi in play4free and now engineers have no purpose since they cant repair anything or destroy anything so everyone will go assault and probably only 2 people in the whole team will use something else could of put in atleast a few lavs and tanks :/
idc about the 24 players but why no vehicles, WHY?!?!?!?!
WHY NO VEHICLES, WHY??!?!?
because DICE is making good decisions, thats why
Glad it wont have vehicles.
also i have a feeling that DICE is lying to us i dont think this is bf3 i mean come on.no commo rose,4 player squads,no commander,4 kits and now this.they are ruining good aspects of bf2 because now bf has also moved to consoles i wish bf was a PC exclusive.
wish in one hand and crap in the other
no thanks im not interested in taking a dump in the hand my hot dog is currently resting on…
Fuck off. Youre obviously crying for crying. I wont even argue…
you are brainwashed MAXBOX99 and it looks like you never played battlefield 2 im afraid. you have no idea how much they killed teamplay so far. They did it in BC2 and BF3 is more like BC2 if you cant see it means you are even more brainwashed you are type of person who will believe that red is actually blue if Dice would say so, but i have eyes and i can see. I’m a PC player and i see how much bf3 is dumped down so far. NOW go upstairs to your room! NO TV, NO LEGO, NO CONSOLE for two weeks!
If only they announced last week that Commo Rose was in (for PC)
As for 4 kits, theres not really much missing from the 6 kits that you cant achieve with 4. The only one i can think of is Spec-Op with his C4 and a carbine.
That was a nice little combo, especially when there was Arti, command center and radar station to earn pts and weaken the oppo.
THAT to me is a bigger loss (along with commander) than being told im one of 4 classes, rather than 6.
It isnt BF2 though, people need to accept that. Yeah theres features we’d all like, but we’re not getting them it seems, instead we’ve got a load of new ones and some people still complain about the past rather than look forward to the future. We should all be thankful its not getting the COD treatment of just changing the number at the end of the title and releasing it.
AMEN! Agree with you my friend.. most of people here cant see it cause they know only bc series. There is one thing which is coming back and its: commo rose. better that than nothing.
bf3 would be totally diffrent game if not fact that most of console players are still kids. EA/DICE are making money and they want to make as much as they can so they trying hard to satisfy all of us but its impossible. the worst thing is that PC players are the victims here. they choose to take some great features from the game in cost of better sales. if that make any sense :O
i think the reason they make bf3 more “console friendly” is because the Battlefield series has always been better than the Cocks on Duty series. the only thing cod is doing better, is the sales. for once, DICE is trying to compete with cod in the sale section too, and bf3 can be compared to cocks on duty: black cocks in pre-orders already.
there is a commo rose idiot
If you want BF2, then play BF2. You won’t even have to wait for it to be released.
Who agreee should there be points given to the winning side like 500-800 points for each person for completing the objective.
I agree that they should go wuth old ranking system rather than that.. it was x2 for the winning team. 1 kill = 2 points. blowing up commander assets +1 point etc. that was fun but ofc they had to “fix” it :/
This must be a picture from conquest because of the capture points
very observant… although the heli is also a subtle hint
Also his guns on full auto.. ;/
This is awesome:)
Now we can see how good people really are with there rifles.
This is actually good. So if your a cod player you could stop whining about vehicles in the game and play that (while the Bf player will be playing rush and conquest).
I don’t care. I won’t be playing TDM on BF3 anyway.
CONQUEST FTW.
Agreed
Where is that pic coming from??? New caspian border gameplay??? More??? I saw a 10 min offscreen leaked gameplay of gamescon. I would post the link but Im on a mobile device… Really easy to find on youtube…
Who played TDM on a Battlefield game? Who cares if it’s 24 people? I’ll never play it. Conquest and Rush for me.
They did add commo rose Kalle.
oh god thats good!
so there is no diffrence between console and pc in TDM i suppose
even if so post me and don’t make me buy the console version (plz ;p)
32v32 tdm would have been redicilus anyways. Glad they made it a 24p limit and without vehicles.
Seems fair to me: it’s almost reminiscent of old Call of Duty games (e.g. the original Call of Duty) when it focused on tight infantry combat, no geographical objectives, and didn’t have all that killstreak crap. 12 vs. 12 without vehicles in a close quarters zone appears to be a good fit on paper. Heck, this might even convince more CoD fanboys to ditch that series and jump onboard the Battlefield bandwagon…for better or worse…
