BF3 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Battlefield 3 will feature 9 multiplayer maps across 5 game modes. Each map will support each game mode: Rush, Squad Rush, Team Deathmatch, Conquest and Conquest 64. On top of the 9 maps, there will be an additional 4 maps as part of the Back to Karkand expansion pack. Here’s the list of maps confirmed for Battlefield 3:
Operation Metro
The first Battlefield 3 map to be showcased is Operation Metro, which was playable during E3 2011. The map is set in Paris, where the battlegrounds range from parks, to city streets, to underground subways.
Caspian Border
Caspian Border is large, open Battlefield 3 maps with 64 player support and features both jets, helicopters, tanks, APCs and many other vehicles.
Operation Firestorm
Operation Firestorm is a desert map set around an oil refinery. It features both jets, helicopters, tanks and more.
Grand Bazaar
Grand Bazaar is an infantry-focused map with a dense urban setting.
Damavand Peak
Damavand Peak is set around the snowy mountains of Damavand in Iran.
Tehran Highway
Tehran Highway is a nighttime map set in and around the capitol of Iran, Tehran.
Kharg Island
Kharg Island is based on the real-world island off the coast of Iran.
Seine Crossing
Centered on a crossing of the famous French river Seine.
Noshahr Canals
Noshahr Canals is based on the Iranian province of Noshahr in northern Iran.
Gulf of Oman
A Battlefield 2 remake, Gulf of Oman for Battlefield 3 will retain much of the same visual style and a very similar desert setting, with both urban areas and more wide-open spaces for tank and jet combat.
Sharqi Peninsula
Sharqui Peninsula was a tight, urban map in Battlefield 2, and it looks to continue that style in Battlefield 3, set during the evening, which provided interesting and warm colors.
Wake Island
Wake Island takes a big departure from the Battlefield 2 version. Instead of lush, tropical visuals, we get a more darker and gritty map which has been ravaged by war and combat.
Strike at Karkand
Strike at Karkand was a dusty, grim map in Battlefield 2 with low visibility and almost no colors besides khaki. The Battlefield 3 version is more colorful and lifelike.
they could add Karkand to this page
they need to focus on other maps now… all we are seeing is the metro map… i wanna see some gamplay from that Sharqi Peninsula map or Gulf of Oman!!! cant wait for that!!
i wonder what the other map packs will be
I’m hoping they do a Chinese theater map pack. Maybe Dragon valley and Daqing Oil Fields among others.
Would be great if we get to see the Europeans and the Chinese enter the battle in an expansion. I’d pay money for that
I’d like to see something like running through the suffocating streets of Hong Kong. So many possiblities.
Middle eastern or Indian maps FTW!
I want to see my town of Wagoner OK on here… i seriously would love to put a M1A1 round through the doors of Walmart and then run a ATG missile right through the HS for screwing me over on my credits and making me go through a GED school… lol that would make me happy and occupyed for at least 30 minutes then ill go back to killing xD
LoL Yea, it’s your high schools fault you’re a failure at life.
New video released with new map footage!! Caspian Border…… looks awesome!
they should have a epic gamestop trailer or something of them fighting on all Back to Karkand maps in one minute
i know right
Alex Mercer of Ontario, California???
then that would just ruin it, you dont want to see half the game already before it comes out.
they did -.-
the back to karkand maps are going to make the game even more amazing. i do still wonder if there’s going to be another onslaught mode or even a survival mode. has anyone heard news about the dinosaur mode?
New york and paris
Notice how if you look at the different areas the map is divided into you notice how it gets smaller to make the battle get event more entense as the battle is ending.
But nothin’ ’bout Norway :’(
bigger maps the better, please be mostly urban
The maps have to be HUGE!!! Because there are jets in the game (^:
not necessarily, now ofcourse the maps are big due to 64 players but only on pc. On console however there’s 24 players, the maps are the same but there’s a limited area we can explore, only those in an aircraft have the ability to explore the whole map the way it’s made.
than its way eazier to hit a target in a smal play ground
the maps are going to be normally sized but theres going to be an area where jets and other aircraft can fly. If its a city, there will be a huge bubble over the map of where jets move around. This place outside the normal map is iaccessable to infantry and ground veichals making the map small enough to have condensed fighting but large enough where jets can make bombing runs
jets+frostbite? i cant even imagine the amount of awesomeness that can happen with those two in the same game
or better yet, jets used as kamikaze + Frostbite 2.0 + Destruction 3.0 + a lot of noobs camping in a building… oh yaa:)
Please be the game of games, bc2 was a good effort but still was not bf2 , Please make an armed tank support three people, and sort out lagggggggggggggggggg . Please be perfect on day one of release . YOUR GAME IS MY DREAM FOR THIS YEAR IF IT IS THE NEW BF THEN THATS ALL I NEED IN LIFE , SGTLIPTON SIGNING IN FOR DUTY ……..DADA DA DA DADA
PS…. been with you all the way from the start
it is the new bf what are you talking about???
Stop being so stupid, no software is perfect upon first release! And how are they supposed to sort the lag? It’s most likely not the Game but a few things;
-Server MS/Ping
-Your connection to the servers
-Your PC, i.e. GPU.
Regards.
I agree. I tell my friends the same thing and they all tell me I’m dumb.
i prefer ueban maps for good stratigic plays but i would like to play in like a huge park of field with like 3 or 4 buildings in witch the map is for highly experienced players nd people who are really looking to level up… or die 100 times with no chance of having hope
Dude, thats COD. People who really enjoy Battlfield look down on those maps which are dominated by 5 or so people
yeah Zirrkis is completly right if your looking for a game like that just go play CoD
Just LMAO! Dude your strategic plays is camping and killing(trying) 100x?HAHAHA, Fast level up with 3 buildings Map? ROFL
Just go back and buy Call of duty kid.
CRAP U REMINDED NE OF NUKETOWN (shoots himself)
hope you make maps big enough and wide enough so you can fly around without getting shot every 30 seconds ( bf2 was a good example of fly time compared to the bc series )
.
Veteran of Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142 ReturnoftheZak returning for duty sir…. and 1 more thing sir please make this Game of the Year… and don’t screw up on the lag..
upside, great graphics
downside, lag
upside, no lag
downside, poor graphics
You and you console people, never have to worry about system requirements or lag in your games, fully dedicated servers and easy matchmaking. We PC’s dont complain.
Also, with consoles you have a more level playing field, and money can’t buy you an advantage. The only “advantage” is a better ISP or pulling host with some games. I have a nice PC capable of playing this game on, but I’m not going to because of the XBOX live community of friends, and what I’ve said above.
Plus, I really can’t get down the mouse+keyboard vs. the joysticks…just me. I’ve considered playing with my XBOX controller, but I still wouldn’t have my XBOX friends playing with me. What a bummer!
its funny because the maps are on the disk and it would have the same lag if it were on a big map or little
Sir I have been with you since Battlefield 2 I serviced (played) BF2 for 3 years and I’m still getting ready for Battlefield 3 ReturnoftheZak over and out….
you should have been there for vietnam omg what an awesome start to an amazing game. myself ive been been a bf2 since vietnams beta years ago.
+1
BF:V was where I entered the series, and still the most fun I’ve had playing, period.
Istanbul Turkey
Hopefully as fas as destructive enviroments go, walls dont just decinegrate once you shoot them or demolish them, everything should be completely destructable, but it should be extemely difficult to demolish something that way if one area sees extensive action you can tell by looking at the map where the hot spots are. it would make it so every map had its own story after the game. comment on if you agree or not
yea, then marines in the building can be blown off by artilleries. Like real life War Zone. Hope BF 3 building are destructive not like BF 2.
yeah they said they are trying to make this game like really really realistic. like in BC2 how the walls all came off the same on everry building. well they are removing that and making it look really good. i watched an interview and they said they are really working on that and how the player falls when he or she gets killed taking out the rag doll effect and making it look real. they are usuing new character engines the ones that they use on FIFA and NHL games so the player looks more realistic. and the explosions they said they made a whole new meaning alone jsut for explosions on buildings and everythign else
which video is that? id like to see it, love bf3 and love watchin interviews about it,.. hoping to squeeze out more info each time. ya the ant system is what its called i think. game looks sick. had it preordered for months. my friend owes me $60 from me buying him a game forever ago.. gonna make him buy me mw3 so i can jus play survival mode with the cod friends who are too stubborn to bf3.. i have converted about 6 friends over to bf tho.. 10x more fun with a good squad. even though im getting bf3 for xbox, i think itll still be tons of fun even with 24 players, new engine, new mechanics, new tactics. lookin forward to it.
yea I agree but not immposible
damn so much good comments here ! But seriously, make the maps big ! And now just a wish thingy. What about if you guys do like this for the maps, when its night irl, the map is ofc night ! when its day irl its day ingame ;D like in world of warcraft ;D!
Some people live in the US, others live on the other side of planet -.-
But it would be purely aesthetic… that means someone could see it as day while someone else saw it as night.
But that might make it too easy for someone in the daytime to shoot or snipe someone playing in nighttime. just a thought.
Yeah it would be could with night and daytime like in irl, but it need to be the same for all the players on that server. So they might could make them as daytime maps and nighttime maps instead, as in battlefield Heroes.
Or maybe make it like the same time on server as in real life, because normally a guy from DC play with other people near, and not from a guy in south africa, so they would acutally still play with most people in the same daytime or nightime.
If the server is hosted from a “nighty” place it should be night at server, even though some daytime-players join, they play on night too as everyone.
But the main point of your suggestion were actually very good.
lol bad idea,there is no only US in the world bro
Damn Americans always think they are the “Center of The World” BUT YOU AREN’T! NO HATE!
People are not noobs because they don’t play on PC. I have payed on PC (Battlefield 2) and the keyboard, mouse, and flying joystick shit together does not work. It is exciting because of more players but not as fast paced in my opinion.
Everyone has their preference. The only thing I ask is for 32 players instead of 24 for conquest. And stop spawning in the same area an enemy is spawning on TDM. Make more spwan points!!!
FAMAS 3.4X scope, heavy barrel FTW (63 stars)
I remember when I was 12, playing BF2 with this clan of older guys (22+), and we had blasts everynight… Carbet Bombs, Parachuting, Ziplining, and more. All the epic moments, on that perfect game. I didn’t really find BFBC2 to have nearly as many, but I’m hoping BF3 will change that.
Pardon my ignorance, but BF2 HAS ALL THAT??? I have the game but never played it that much. I’m I in possesion of a relic, LoL?
i hope you guys make tall skyscrapers. if there is a sniper in one of them thats pissing people off, players can hilariously c4 the bottom and topple it to the ground. the sniper may even have time to make a leap of faith to parachute to the ground and probably get shot.
or we can fire a few missiles from an F16 and collapse the floor he’s on….I hope there’s laser guided missiles.
Or you can crash your plane into them…
9/11
Hiroshima and nagasaki was far more horrible than 9/11
Except the Japanese had it coming
THAT is my dream but NOT for people to bring buildings down easily
how sick would it be if (maybe infantry only) had a map as jus a skyscraper with most of the floors? probably a silly idea… but with destruction 3.0? idk if they have this type of destruction available.. but if you jus hear a guy movin above you.. jus blow a hole in the ceiling! haha
or maybe multiple skyscrapers all connected at certain levels. it would be interesting to see a very tight indoor map. and no im not thinking of cod lol, the mechanics of the two games are different. im thinkin a tight map with the new destruction would be great.
what a fake ?? Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 2 maps ? this looks like Battlefield Play4free .. there is bc2 weapons, engine 2142, maps bf2
Get with the program, if you’re gonna play a series this epic you need to be updated before you call something fake.
oh dont be such a douche-bag! go learn your facts before you present something. you just sound silly -_-
I think it’s time to put the kid to sleep,
no more CoD tonight
@lol
there not fake maps there the old battlefield 2 maps
yea some of them might be on the play4free but that is buggy as shit………
Feels a bit like Backstab coming back.
Yeeeya! That’s what’s up son!
i hope there will be city and office building type maps with thight coridors and lots of rooms.
there will be cuz some parts of the game take place in america so there prob be a map based on new york philly or la
the building (the whole map) would have been demolished before the first confirmed kill
it would be cool if you could destroy floors and ceelings.
Damn all the best maps…but missing one…Ghost town…and they could make map from Libya…that would be COOL!
there needs to be some night maps where you can use night vision gogles, flashlight attatchments, and night vision scopes, mabey even a flash hider for a tactical approach when sniping in the dark.
yeah that would be nice but the snipers would be pretty much impossible to kill with the flash hider
but if u launch a flare it will reflect off the lense on the scope giving him away as well as stray bullets and a sh*t ton of explosions
i dont know if this is rumored or not but i heard that in one game the map can change from Day to Night and back to Day. i think that would be really cool like if it does that depending how long a game is
There are flashlights for support gunners that drop the Lmg for like an m4 they can trade that to have multiple attachments according to dice and if u get a beam strait at u, u are blinded for a sec. Or so dice says
Are you ok in the brain man day is fine sniping is hiding not being a little girl find a bush and aim boom dead ok reply please
learn some english
a couple of these are the same as on Battlefield Play4Free.
The commander should add in Air strike/Nuclear missile in the commander’s GPS .
we need more player s 24 not going to cut it we NEED 32 OR 30 IT WILL BE MUCH MUCH FUNNER
Get it for PC console isn’t quite the best. Just saying…
funner’s not a word
@ saul
get a pc noob!
@PVT.PEN15
get a life, troll.
Bf3 NEEDS to have lots of maps, that is the most important thing. Players want a variation and the more maps, the less old they get
2nd that
they should introduce variable weather conditions per map i.e. day/night, rain, etc..
This would make for insane variation possibilities!
doesnt mean you can be mean to other people just because you´re mommy bought you a new PC
Doesn’t mean that people are noobs if they don’t have PC. But for better experience people should play it on PC
