BF3 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
On July 27th, 2012 in News
While we’re waiting for Battlefield 3 Armored Kill (due in September), DICE just released the first details on the next DLC, Battlefield 3 Aftermath. Aftermath focuses on urban warfare and is set in Tehran after an earthquake has destroyed most of the city. There are a total of 4 new maps, all set in parts of Tehran, all focusing on urban combat. Aftermath will also bring new vehicles, including “heavily modified military and civilian vehicles”. Additionally, there will be a new game mode, new assignments, achievements, and even more dog tags. Aftermath is scheduled for release in December 2012. The above image is the first concept art for Battlefield 3 Aftermath.
Stop talking about ”AFTERMATH” and let’s see more details about Armored Kill DLC.
**** YOU EA YOU MONEY EATING BASTARDS!!
if you have premium already it’s not like you are going to shell out any more money…so showing early info for dlc isnt really money hungry if the majority of people have already bought it. Plus if you havent bought premium, its good to see what you could buy ahead of time.
EA =Money eating Bastards
Those dislikes are from EA employees. Why is EA pushing DICE to advertise BF4 Beta??? Because they want MONEY. I got premium anyway. EA is grEAdy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVAVaZqNeak
without money bf3 wouldnt exist…game developers and publishers need to market their games in order to bring in revenue and continue making them…why not advertise bf4?? it’s not hurting anything and they aren’t forcing you to pay into something nor are they taking anything away. The more money EA and DICE get, the more high quality the games will be.
@ Ben
Companies naturally want to gain profit. It’s how EA gains profit is the problem.
EA does things like forcing an early release of BF3 causing DICE to have no choice but to release a improperly finished game, or advertising BF3 as the “CoD killer” when EA knew that it’s going to take MUCH more than one game to dethrone a multi-trillion dollar franchise such as Call of Duty.
EA has proven time and time again; they’re not afraid to step all over their loyal paying customers for profit and they will keep doing it.
I know right…I love having premium and knowing that all I have to do is log on and download the new DLC when it comes out. I don’t get the arguments about premium being a rip off. I see actually a good. I know i’m going to by every DLC so why not save some money and buy them all now? Plus the more I get to see and hear about the DLC’s that we haven’t seen much of makes me crazy excited.
Confirmed for underage or dependent.
What is the time value of money.
Enjoy letting EA make millions off your parents’ hard earned money while you sit around for months receiving nothing in return. Fucking idiots.
I’ll skip Armored Kill, and get this. I’m not too fond of the vehicular part of BF3. Too many people in tanks gets old very quickly. I can’t stand helicopters, they are so overpowered that it is just ridiculous. They reload so damn fast that it isn’t even fair for ground troops. That is why I prefer levels like Grand Bazaar and Metro.
Tank battles get old very fast, but endless spam corridors don’t?
Hey I spotted a COD fanboy over.
ugh, more urban maps. the snow and forest maps from ak excite me but i wish for more nautral environments . desert citys get old really fast. more maps like damavand would be nice bc urban maps have no variety. they should look back at bc2 for new map designs
Yeah, helicopters should crash when you throw pebbles at them. It’s a helicopter, it’s meant to be able to own a dysfunctional team. If your team cooperates, helicopters are really not that big a trouble. One pass with a jet, and it down.
Calm down Mohamed!
Sounds promising.
Aftermath = Map pack for the hot pocket eater COD kiddies. On the bright side maybe there will be less of these little shits clogging up Armored Kill servers because Aftermath will lead them away like the Pied Piper.
If urban maps with a few vehicles suck up the CoD kiddies, then why don’t we see them in Bazaar, Seine, and Karkand?
What is SAK IO 64p fragfest.
The reason you don’t see the COD kids on those meatgrinders is because Metro is easier. Remember, Seine and Bazaar actually have destruction. Little kids can’t look up.
Karkand is shit anyways, they cut the back island in half. Anyone who plays BF3 Karkand is a Veteran poser that loves to gobble up DICEA’s bullshit.
Aftermath = Map pack for the hot pocket eater COD kiddies. On the bright side maybe there will be less of these little $hits clogging up Armored Kill servers if Aftermath leads them away like the Pied Piper.
I WANT PICTURE OF DEATH WALY!

Weapons in Aftermath confirmed by official Battlefield twitter.
I so hope they put in normal cars with ‘modifications’, it would be amazing :L
“heavily modified military and civilian vehicles”
Sounds awesome.
i smell….. technicals with 50s lol and station wagons with a broken window and a PKP out the front window…BF2 flashbacks lmao maybe a purple muscle car to! XD
And then lets throw in the batmobile too! Haha just kidding, but i would love to have a mode with no tanks, jets, or choppers, but 10 heavily armored cars with rocket pods (or something similar) for each team.
Make half of them be able to seat 2 people, and the other 5 able to seat 3 or 4. Also, make it easier than it is now to hit dmall moving spildiers while moving in a car. (that way it will be almost impossible to go without a car).
Also, maybe another new mode (everybody must be in a vehicle) in which one team member is picked that has to reach an extraction point, and the other team must shoot down his/her car. Give the cars being pursued extre slots for mines/traps. And make it a quick round, so if you die there are no respawns. That would be cool
.
Feel free to add/change ideas so we can let DICE see!
Premium releases: “I’M NOT GONNA BUY IT UNLESS YOU TELL US ABOUT THE DLC!!!!!”
DLC details release: “STOP TELLING US ABOUT THE DLC AND FOCUS ON ARMORED KILL!!!!!”
The Battlefield community cracks me up sometimes.
YES! you took the words out of my mouth
is it me or does the concept of this dlc lack innovation?
“heavily modified civilian vehicles”
Meanwhile, in the heat of Battle, a Support soldier destroys a tank with a C4 covered wheelbarrow.
Anyone remember that from BF2? Good times.
Derp. I was thinking of BF2 sandbox.
Still, cant wait to see what civilian vehicles they include this time.
IGN covered this and said its a fight for survival, and new game mode… Perhaps this could be DINO mode “everyone” wants. Just a thought.
Maybe. However, a spokesperson for bf3 said end game contains jungle apocalyptical themed maps in end game. Not a dinosaur expert, but most dinosaurs lived in jungles, marshes, forests and deserts. Maybe both will support Dino mode!
hey have you seen this video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qnbm78W22E this video basically started the whole idea about the bf3 dino mode thing, or atleast it made the idea popular, anyways I made this video about a year ago and I feel like I influenced the battlefield community.
I just hope there will be dogfights above that huge,destroyed,apocalyptic while a convoy of tanks roll in through the streets full of hostile RPG-s waiting for ambush
. It’s just how I imagine all that 
Only on the PC version mate
The console version is a ghost town. 
You’re posting on the wrong story
hopefully we will put the semi-auto Barret M85 50CAL sniper rifle because it was in the campaing & i hope it will be in this DLC , or another semi-auto 50CAL sniper rifle like it .
i smell OP complaints with the M85
not complaining , i like the M98 but it would be better if you have 2 50CAL sniper rifles , one of them is bolt action & the other one is semi-auto ( correction it is M82 but i don’t know why they put 2 names for it in sniper rifles list )
Actually, the M98B fires the .338 Lapua Magnum round. So, the M82/M107 would be the first .50 cal sniper in BF3 if it were included in the DLC.
*M82A1
Unless of course you’re talking about a mounted heavy machine gun that was used primarily during the gulf war.
thank you for correcting , yes the M82A1 semi-auto 50CAL it was in the campaing so why not can’t it be in the multiplayer ? i mean most weapons were in the campaing can be unlocked in online gaming , but why they didn’t put the M82A1 in it ?
Reasoning behind that is because it’s hard to balance.
Basing around what the game has right now, it’d be a semi-auto M98B with 5 more rounds (+1 as well). There would be absolutely no reason to use any other SR, unless the M82 was introduced with serious drawbacks.
Such as slower rate of fire than other semis, massive reductions in accuracy when firing on the go or not completely still. Don’t forget that a gun such as this can take on a light anti-materiel role against jeeps and helicopters.
I still the best option to introduce a .50BMG sniper rifle into the game would be to just re-introduce the M95. It worked in BF2 and BC2 and wasn’t the end all gun.
Why not the M107A1 instead of that old junk?
will there’s the new AS50 semi-auto barrett but the important thing is we need semi-auto barrett if it was old or new , the caliber will still be the same but the name is different .
I don’t recognize that weapon he is holding, maybe some new weapons in Aftermath?
It’s just a concept art.
i bet there will be new factions…..???? lets hope so i sick of killin commys.
In my opinion,there should be new faction/s ( Middle-eastern faction ) . Beacuse it doesn’t make sense to put Russians *AGAIN* in Tehran. It’s just pointless. It’s time leave Russia alone and bring new factions to this DLC and incoming battlefield 4
I don’t agree. Any Middle Eastern nation would get stomped flat by the US Military. Look at how long it took to dismantle the formal Iraqi army in its entirety…
This is just a game my friend. I am pretty sure DICE would find a way to balance it, just like in battlefield 2
Hehe Desert storm, Saddam had one of the largest armies in the world, and the coalition curb stomped them. It was over the minute US forces stormed kuwait
All new factions would be is just new skins for your soldier…If BF3 was like BF2 the way it should be, it would have armies, with a select few weapons. USMC had the US weapons, Chinese had chinese, MEC had AK etc. Not US HAS EVERY FUCKING WEAPON IN THE WORLD…Fucking console gamers…
BF3blog we know you read these comments. I’m not trying to question how you handle your website, but it’s safe to assume we all have the same question; why is Raptor72 -still- here freely trolling and starting flame wars?
He is entitled to his own opinion as is everyone else, but his opinions are nothing more than trolling attempts. He’s giving BF3blog a bad name with his constant trolling and elitism. For the sake of your readers, could you please do something about him already?
This is one of the reasons why YFNP is easily the most respected commenter on this blog. A clean, non-obnoxious, honest, respectful, response.
And it also appears to be why raptor is the least respected, troll, flame war starting, loser on this blog. Posting a Troll-like, flame war starting comment. Please be warned: Don’t give him the satisfaction of stooping to his level.
Please BF3blog, please ban this fool from ever posting on this blog again.
My posts are not trolling attempts. You see console gamers get their diapers in a bunch, always complaining, I’m just defending what I believe is the most superior platform for gaming. My opinions are MY OPINIONS, I do not troll. Sure, I might say “consoles suck” here and there, but sorry for admitting what I believe is the truth. If they say “Oh well I think this will suck for consoles”(Like most of them on the Armored Kill dlc) I come in, and say why it will suck, so they understand on their limitations and why they can’t have more.
personally i hate all of you, i think to be well respected on a website like this just makes you king of nerds, i dont make a perfect paragraph because im not in a fucking english class. please, correct me on everything i said.
i say fuck you and you say fuck you too, simple as dat.
Raptor, the only person on here I see moaning and cmplaining is you, about how console players moan and winge. Please if you can, feel free to quote a console player moaning in these forums. Yea we might say, these maps might play out a little bit empty on console, but guese what mate, thats not moaning. The only whiner is you, therefor once again, giving well minded pc players a bad reputation, the vast majority of which are cool people. Ask yourself, do console gamers really do what you say they do, are are you just a hipocrit?
Reckon we could see more cusomisation for our characters. The guy in the pic istnt wearing uniform we have see in game bofore, and in an earthquake tehran, keeping up appereances would be the last of your worries. Maybe there will be like 50 assignments. Catergorised into feet legs torso head and extra, 5 of each to get so stcking to the assignment organisation routine. Think that could be awesome.
New guns i hope, i want the MG3!
Im feeling some pickups with MG’s on the back. Either way by Urban i hope its something different and not just other versions of seine crossing and grand bazaar
it cant be dino dino needs large and open maps like armored kill
Operation 925 + Velociraptors.
Think about it.
oh god raptors
Or imagine a pack of raging T-rex’s charging down the hill in Operation Firestorm accompanied by a bunch of flying Pteranodon’s
Im getting sick from all those terhan and asian cities, why dont put some amerian cities like NY or CA any of that will be awesome
What? The games setting is pretty much Iran, why should it change to Mexico, US or Canada?
Sweet, more brown and beige dirt maps. I love ‘em.
hopeful for a more dramatic version of Rush. maybe instead of MCOMs, the Attackers (US/RU) will be chasing down the Defenders’ (Iranian insurgents/guerillas; DICE can use the character models they already made for the enemies in the campaign) bomb. there will be, just like in Rush, 2 events to trigger the next part of the map to open, but instead of arming 2 MCOMS, there will be unique objectives. by the time the attackers have reached the last pair of objectives, perhaps then B can only be attempted if A is complete, and B would be some epic way of stopping the bomb. if when A is done and B the sole objective left for the attackers, if the attackers run out of tickets the bomb can blow and everyone dies. and this will all happen in a map layout similar to Seine Crossing’s, in that there’s plenty of flanking routes, but maybe the maps could be much larger, close to Armored Kill sized maps, and more building interiors and floors can be accessed.
and smaller versions of those maps could be for consoles, cuz i’d imagine there to be a lot of unused space (outdoors and in buildings) otherwise
Or maybe something like the Insurgency mode from Project Reality(BF2 mod)
The insurgents should protect weapon caches, while the BluFor(Canada, Germany, Israel or the US) should find and destroy them. They could find them by gathering intellegence, by arresting terrorist collaborators or terrorists.
I hope Technicals are included as vehicles!
As long as this won’t cater to the whiny ass console kids, and I don’t have to hear them bitching about “WAA THESE MAPS R 2 BIG!!!” Just fuck off idiots…I’ll be fine.
PC Master Race, fuck console communities.
Asking for a flame war?
Your trolling and elitism accomplishes nothing.
dude, shut you elist pc pig.
This could go either way from small maps to large. I hope on the larger side but doubt it. They also can’t use destroyed buildings and rubble to make this too much of a corridor map.
It always annoyed me you can’t drive the trucks and normal cars in the game. Why not? It’d allow you to be more creative and set up defenses.
im really hoping the new game mode is a bomb diffuse type game mode…like you only have a certain amount of time before the bomb blows up and one team (the PLR) defends he bomb while the Americans try and difuse it, and the difuse could be a series of quick time events like the bomb diffusal on the subway in the co-op campaign
bro…it’s called Rush. play it sometimes.
That’s nice and all but please, no quick time events in multiplayer. Would also be beyond frustrating if someone attempts diffusal, messes up and effectively gives the enemy team the objective.
It would make more sense to have it like MCOMs.
i want a search an destroy type game mode, where there is no re-spawning an u have only one life each per round, with objectives which change on the fly like in killzone 2, i used to love cod, an now hate it since it became stale an the 12yr old joypad commandos took over with the auto aim assist quick scoping garbage, anyway search an destroy was the only game mode i loved to play, with a group of mates, it would force u to become good, an improve your skill, since one tiny mistake an your dead,an have to sit out, an watch the rest of your team play, rush is kinds like search but doesn’t have that intensity feeling that no re-spawning gives to the latter, we need a mode like this! the lack of variety with regards to game modes is what battlefield games lack!
You lack subtlety.
Conquest, Conquest Assault, Capture the Flag, Team Deathmatch, Evolution, Titan, Assault Lines, Gold Rush…what the fuck do you mean we don’t have enough game modes?
