BF3 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
On April 26th, 2012 in Videos
The brand new Battlefield 3 Close Quarters trailer showcases the newest map: Donya Fortress. While we can’t say we were big fans of the previous Close Quarters map, this one definitely looks better. The trailer also showcases the new mode Conquest Domination, but it’s hard to see with all the stuff blowing up everywhere.
Let us know what you think of the new trailer in the comments section!
Uhhhhh……….i like the music?
well it looks better imo than the first map. But the whole close quarters thing just doesn’t take advantage of the true strengths of Battlefield.
Be ready to be surprised 100% of the time. Paying 12$ to look at a blurred screen. Well, i’m getting the Dlc because of the sundry guns. However, tone down suppression, a little. I mean i’m fine with it it’s just i don’t now how it will feel like in such small enclosed maps.
suppressed
Interesting how recoil in their promo vids dosen’t seems to exist….and how easy they aim from one to another enemy (try that on PS3 gamepad). It’s allmoast someone trying to deceive us console players…I will pass this one since the game with 12 oposite players can get borning where even within 8 players …I know they will offer “new famas” in those new weapons (marketing move) but I know as well they will nerf it down in very next patch after the release… I will sure pass this one! I guess I am just immune on their nice marketing tricks! But c ya at the Armored Warfare for sure!
it’s funny though how in cod people keep complaining about the game never change and no innovation. meanwhile in battlefield 3 people keep complaining about changes and innovation that dice try to made in their game.. i like big maps and vehicles in battlefield but sometimes i feel just want an intense gunfight in a smaller maps but i wont play in cod for close quarter combat because that game is shit and now i can even play cq map in my favourite franchise
Sir. You make a good point there :L but the BF fans are use to the massive maps as i am sure you know.. personally i am very happy these maps are coming first! get them outa the way and get the end game and (forgot the name) :L
This disappointing me….*sigh*
Yeah it is lame, but it will be nice as a break up between a few tank fests. I have grown to love more infantry orientated maps after a long game of flying and tanking without much of an opportunity to use my gun.
Fucking quickscope collaterals in the torso just ruins the entire thing. As if it wasn’t obvious enough that DICE are selling out to the CoD kids with this DLC… now they go and put some ‘l33t c0latz” in the bloody trailer for it. It wouldn’t suprise me if they show 360 n0 sc0pez in the next one.
Looks just as mediocre as the other map.
And does anyone else remember when EA would talk shit to cod by saying they had 64 players and jets and bf3 is soo cool.
They still have all that plus smaller maps for players willing to step up and fight a close quarters battle
yaaaa durp!!!!
Call of Battlefield?!? Battle of Duty?!?
I just don’t understand why some people think that COD created and owns the rights to use close quarter maps only?!? Many games have done the same thing before, CSS for instance. Just because DICE makes some maps that are granted, a lot smaller than the usual BF maps doesn’t mean that they’re turning into COD. I personally find it a welcome and refreshing change to the usual larger maps where you have to take a heli or tank to get to the battlefield. I still love the large maps to death and cant wait for Armoured Kill, but having some variety isn’t a bad thing.
small map: karkand
clusterfuck/cod/cs map: cq-dlc, metro, seine, bazaar, tehran highway, damavand,…
remember the “big maps”?
5 flags spread in a distance of ~100-300 m at max!
and dont you say “ak will have the biggest maps ever”.
we got to hear this like 20 times b4 the game got released.
same with “we got tanks and 64 men and jets” (but the maps are sized down to match the average console).
fuck this.
compare the big maps of bf2 to the “big” maps of bf3 and be amazed!
It is funny how people downvote pesimistic comments no matter how justified they are, and upvote optimistic comments no matter how unrealistic or obviously desperate for optimism they are, when honestly, deep down we are all annoyed that Battlefield 3, the game that promised epic 64 player battles with complete destruction, unrivaled vehicle warfare, true teamplay and massive maps, is being watered down to another CoD rip off with small, indoors maps and 8v8 battles with random respawn points and no vehicles.
I know it is just a DLC, but c’mon guys… isn’t it obvious what EA and DICE are trying to do here? They are selling out their true fans in hopes of exchanging us for a few CoD fans.
its the fact its BattleFIELD not BattleCORRIDOR or BattleINDOORS if i want small tight intense arena battles i would play cod or css… i bought battlefield 3 with the promise that it was a “true sequel” to Battlefield 2. Yes battlefield had infantry based maps, but they were in an entire city not a fucking small building. Yes some people are gonna love it, good for them, i just personally think its wrong the direction they’ve taken with this dlc and its a down right disgrace that they think its what the majority of the player base are asking for.
I agree its stupid to just limit the game to just 1 style of play. The reason BF3 is greater than COD is the fact that we can chose the style of warfare we want to. In reality war does not just take place in large open areas but also in confined/close quarters as well. If your not a fan of close quarters combat fine just dont buy it but they act as if DICE forgot about them and are only taking the “COD” boys into consideration. Armored Kill offers more expansive maps of which we kind of have plenty so I can’t understand why people get stuck on BF shouldnt have smaller more intense maps. Failure to evolve/adapt or change causes extinction, just look at the dinosaurs.
Couldn’t agree more!
^ This
they are in fact trying to make cod players conform so dont try that dumb shit. bf3 sucks now imo i refuse to play a game that isnt the game i bought. instead of people jus learnin how to play they cry over being killed by better players …cue the nerfs of all weapons smfh. its obvious ea wants to be cod. problem is they cant be! noone will beat the sales of that game.
small maps and more small maps and more small maps, utter chaos isnt battlefield.. controlled chaos on the other hand is. take a look at the trailer again. it looks like COD
It is not that CoD has exclusive rights to use clusterfuck-CQC maps but the fact that BF3 was advertised as a game with maps the size of a country and bashed the small CoD maps along the way. I see this as a nice break between the huge maps and a bit of variation for everyone. It is not like they replace all the old maps with these ones only, they simply added more maps and guns and if you dontlike it, dont buy it. Simple as that.
Size of a Country?? Wow there sir, The only game that can deliver such a geographic feature is the Arma series, and the farthest they have went is a fucking island. Check some video of the upcoming Arma 3 pall
Badass
bad ass indeed sir…
looks cool. Cant wait to try out all the new weapons
Holy crap, that looks frickin epic… And I don’t see why everyone is dissing this, isn’t bf3 have enhanced infantry gameplay, and isnt this infantry gameplay… People have to remember that this isn’t bf2 this is bf3, this seems like a good close quarters map, and reminds me of the palace in bf2 special forces, looking forward to what other maps are still in store.
I want BC2 maps or 2143. Fuck this shit
if you want 2143 maps, then go play it…this is a new game, its called bf3, not bf2, or bc2. If they did the same shit every game it would be like cod, cod never changes at all, battlefield on the other hand does. If you dont like the close quarters they are making “armor kil” so get that instead.
What i meant was, True battlefield maps. Ever since dice got money hungry they have tailored to satisfying the newcomers. They have completely forgotten about their true fan base and have become another bullshit company. Its going to be almost a year since the game release until armored kill is comes out which to me is just plain stupid.
How about you become a developer create your own fps and gtfo all every one is doing is complaining before you even get to try it out.
Your God Damn Right BOO
Im starting to feel that i wouldnt blame dice if they fucked over fans like you. All you do is bitch and moan at every possible thing that isnt strictly tanks and large flat maps. Two other expansions are coming that cater to your wants. Close quaters only gets 1 map pack. Now stfu and go to bed
Guys, I assume you know that DICE and especially EA wants that everyone could enjoy/play the game. And that’s happening with these different expansion packs, including close quarter battles, epic vehicle warfare, and something between them. [And the last expansion pack?? Dunno.] DICE wants to people enjoy their game, as many people as possible. But EA wants money and all that kinda stuff. Use your brains to understand the rest of the reasons. Hope you understood me. Sorry for bad my bad english if it was bad. Thx
Very nice TRAILER, but don’t think the actual gameplay will be so nice
But still looking forward to test this expansion pack. And the guns looks nice too.
Yes indeed sir the guns look fantastic
Hopefully we can get these Soon™!
Is it just me or is EA shooting themselves in the foot with BF3? 6 Months between DLC’s and all they can give us is 10 weapons and 4 new maps?
Not only that but they are splitting their community as well. You have one side that like the cq maps and another side that hates it. I cant imagine trying to cater to 2 totally different fanbases with one game.
You got it my friend… It looks like the ones calling shots now are not the ones that made the franchise what it WAS.
So what? They’ve already released one and they have 3 more planned, stop being a dick and enjoy the game, something people has forgotten lately.
I just want my promised ‘aggressive’ DLC schedule.
Then go play COD, they release crappy map packs every 2 months without giving you new weapons, assignments and better destruction…
Why shoe box maps, this arent battlefield mpas this are cod maps, im not buying this crappy maps till you give me ones with vehicules
I’m not taking you seriously until you learn proper subject verb association and learn how to spell. IMO these are not cod maps they are still Battlefield just with a more aggressive infantry room clearing style. The only thing I hope is that people don’t camp in corners like the cod players although I don’t think camping will be as bad in this game because Battlefield players are smarter and won’t willingly be killed from the same camping faggot in the same position.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ…………. Looks sorta familiar…. Just with walls blowing up..
With my PS3 system and its shitty controls, I think I have just made my mind up to skip this DLC… the other Ziba tower DLC didn’t look as mediocre as this trite crap.
Everyone stop dissing close quarters ok, and cammanron- If you don’t like ps3′s controls “Y U NO GET AN XBOX”
becuse ps3 and xbox is the same, only the controller is diffrent. But if you switch to pc on the other hand it will be larger and grander in everyway
…It’s not the PS3′s controller thats the problem… the controller and subsequent control scheme are fine for every other game but this new BF3 game. and I would never buy an XBOX just so I could play the same game.
I like it.
Well, this map looks better than Ziba Tower. Not great, but better
This map is definitely more interesting than Zima tower!
Why must they have all that crap flying around?
I have to admit I’m slowly warming up to this DLC. Unlike Metro, they seem to be doing CQC right this time. Multiple levels, plenty of flanking routes, and a mix of choke points and long sight lines.
“These maps are mediocre!”
“These maps suck!”
“EA is just screwing itself over with these maps!”
“Close Quarters just sucks!”
Have any of you played the DLC yet? None of us have. So why are we judging?
We all thought these maps were going to be horrendously tiny, and yet when we saw the full overview it was much bigger than we all thought. Still small; yes. But nearly as bad as we thought? No. See what happened their? We judged something blindly, and our judgement was off.
So unless you’re a DICE developer who played through the entire DLC; you shouldn’t be judging until we get the DLC.
don’t need to play the maps i already know the entire map looks like by watching this 1 trailer that’s how small it is.
and yeah, good idea lets buy the DLC to support small maps and make Battlebox out of Battlefield.
We should be judging because we have enough info to judge. Its very clear that people who bought battlefield did it for the large maps, because besides metro they are all large. I can judge because i know its not 64 players, there arent vehicles, and the maps are going to be very tiny. Those 3 conditions are enough to judge the map pack. Im not judging it on how good the maps are how tactical they are or whatever, I know they dont have the things that make battlefield great, so by deductive reasoning i know they wont be good.
You people are all so fucking stubborn, if bf did not change it would end up like cod, which hasn’t changed in anything… So get used to some variety… And one last thing, how can we think positively of bf3 if we don’t let our selves think of it as so.
Yea I really wish there was some change. Unfortunately getting rid of core features is not the kinda change i want. I dont want change to become, “well lets see how many good features we can get rid of”. The kinda change I want is a entire new franchise or ADDING features(*gasp*) how about, “we have updated the player count to 128 or we decided to add naval warfare or battlelog or mod support. Why cant change be like that. But I have lost hope of these features. I think that planetside 2 is going to do the kind of changes that battlefield could have done. Check it out if youve never heard of it.
*battlerecorder not battlelog
Some people seemed to miss my point, so I’ll try to elaborate;
Yes, you CAN judge and have every right to, and I don’t blame you at all if you do. But what I’m trying to say is; if you’re disappointed now, you may see it’s not that bad when you get to play it.
Personally when I first heard of the very idea I scoffed at what DICE was developing. But when I saw the map overviews, looked at what DICE is trying to do, and considered the good side to the DLC instead of focusing solely on the negatives…I’m actually looking forward to it now.
However, I do feel that this could of been executed better; larger sized maps to compensate for more players while keeping it still small and literally close quarters, and of course vehicles as others would like.
My point is sure, this could of been executed better. But what we are getting is what we are getting. It may not be flawless or as good as it could of been, but its still worth trying before you make your final judgement. You just might like it after all.
Well said Nick.
Too many core features are gone, or exist in a very dilluted version(Commo-rose)
Things i really miss.
Maps with space between them, instead of huge masses of land, between the flags and the uncap. Commander. Helicopters, that weren’t affected by some mysterious force, which makes you unable to regain control, once you tilted a tad too far. Vehicles, which came with the stock equipment, instead of you having to earn ALL of it, what’s the next step; “Sorry sir, you haven’t unlocked wheels, or engine”. Repair and rearm spots, instead of auto-repair and auto-rearm(Would also naturally balance the game). A command map, with options like; Move, Attack, Defend, Mine, Repair.
Things i like about BF3 though, which also keeps me playing, is stuff like cool ballistics, weapon costumization(I never said unlocks were a bad thing) and huge variety of weapons, uncontested sound experience.
We judge because we fuckin can,IT’s called the fuckin interneet and we can post whatever stupid shiet lwe want liek thais comment brao.
My issues with DICE/EA is not the type of DLC its the lack there of. 6 months between DLCs is waaaaaaaaaaay too long. There are so many developers releasing so many games at a rate that’s absolutely absurd and waiting that long between DLC’s is a sure fire way kill off a decent game.
You guys do realsize that when Armored kill wil be released there will be filled with lone wolfs noobs not giving out ammo/health packs rights?
Im scared that this DLC will be the death of BF3, I just hope that Admins will kick out none teamwork players, unless they turned into DO*%&$ bags… wait they have!
Hmmm i hope they release weapons and the Maps separetly, i dont want to spend my money of one of the biggest letdowns of BF yet!!!
And what happened to the free DLCs ? like BC2!?
They could have catered to.both crowds by keeping the formula they used with bf2. The smaller the Max player count thee smaller the map. Each of the maps in the cq dlc could have been one part of a larger map. They could have pleased most folks instead of dividing the community.
I have to admit this map has changed a large part of my opinion on this DLC. I thought they where going to be horribly Cod tinny but it doesn’t look like it. If the next map is better then this, then we will see what the DLC is worth. BUT ONLY if the next map is better.
According to this video confirmed guns: SPAS-12, MTAR-21, AUG A3, JNG-90, and the ACW-R.
Cant wait to use the AUG
I have been waiting for the Steyr AUG for a while.
Gonna be sexy in BF3.
Well, back to playing a Battlefield 2 singleplayer mod…. Whether this dlc is going to be fun or not, it sure ain’t battlefield.
i dont understand why Dice just wont show us a trailer on how its really gonna be played like.
with douchebags running around with autoshotguns
it stops being fun when frustration kicks in.
Why can’t all the gameplay show the new guns!? We know what the MP7 looks like and the Scar-H! Why can’t we see the new guns that come with the new map pack!
They should have offered this for free on a patch, and make the maps available for TDM and SQDM. Or just put it all together as an expansion pack. Why are they splitting up the community in so many pieces? It’s already split in Vanilla & B2K. By the end of the year it will be Vanilla, B2K, CQ, Armored Kill & End Game. STUPID.
Don’t worry… by the end of the year(Christmas game release season) there won’t be anyone left playing it.
Kind of off topic, but does anyone else think the new patch made things a bit TOO balanced? All the guns feel the same, and they all feel awful. Everything just seems like twitch reflexes now. Imo they should revert to the way things were pre-patch besides the USAS-12 fix.
When someone is shooting at me with a shotgun and I think it’s a sniper, something is very off.
-inSANITY
I agree. With the M4A1 now, I cant shoot a target that is 20 ft away. They lowered all the guns accuracy except shotguns, which should have been even less accurate.
