Battlefield 3 is DICE's third numerical installment in the Battlefield franchise. It features a single player and co-operative campaign, as well as an extensive multiplayer component.
DICE put out a new video clip with gameplay on a large map with jets.
This looks considerably better than what we've seen to now. Much closer to what you'd expect from a BF2 sequel. I'm still feeling like this game is headed down the wrong path, All the maps should be looking and playing like this one. That paris map was not what I'm looking for. I am worried taht they will have map rotations that force you to play on maps like this clip and then maps like paris which would be horrible.
Weird, this didn't really do anything for me. I think my time with multiplayer shooters has come and gone. Not to mention, the whole "modern military shooter" genre is REALLY wearing on me. I'm sure Battlefield 3 will be great but I just don't care about it anymore.

Battlefield-ass Battlefield indeed. None of that linear Bad Company bullshit.
i liked that so-called "bad company bullshit" bad co was what got me into battlefield games in the first place and made every other fps seem like crap. (i never had a good pc at all when i was growing up)

That's a bit disingenuous don't you think. There were some BC2 conquest maps with objectives that were far from linear.
True, though those maps were always quite small. Each map was a portion of the level from Rush and four flags slapped on them. It wasn't till they imported some maps from Bad Company 1 when things opened up a bit more.
Personally I thought they were fine, but I still missed the grandness of the BF2 maps.

DICE probably expanded their fanbase substantially with Bad Company, probably helped with the development of Battlefield 3 so maybe people should stop dissing those games they were quite good actually. It's very hard to pull off a great console multiplayer shooter these days but they did.
Great video. Was worried about how much COD was going to creep into Battlefield 3 but from the looks of it not very much. That video has put BF3 back on my most wanted list.
Does anyone have an actual map comparison in miles between BF3 and Bad Company 2? I think the image above is deceiving. Atacama is a pretty large map but the way they highlight the combat area against a larger square makes it seem tiny. If you were to just zoom in and make the highlighted area fill the entire square it would give the appearance of being much larger. The size of the roads are key and they don't really match up in the comparison, so I would say one is zoomed in and one zoomed out.

Well.. it's a step in the right direction, that's for sure, but... five flags? all centered in the center of the map? really..?
I mean i can see LEVELS of better flanking gameplay and strategical approaches and even stealth approaches, compared to the horse shit that is Bad Company 2 Conquest, but still.. I hope this is one of the lesser CQ maps. hopefully the other ones will have more exotic terrains, more arbitrary flag placements and MORE FLAGS
64 players on those grand scale maps are fine, but since the console version of this game will only have 24 players, I really hope they scale down the maps to keep the action going. Otherwise, I'm all for bigger maps, especially if there are jets.

This isn't the first time you've called for arbitrary flag placement, but I'm still not getting it.
"Based on individual discretion or judgment; not based on any objective distinction, perhaps even made at random."
So... you want the flags to be all willy nilly? One right next to the russian spawn, one on the edge of the map, 3 clustered somewhere in the center? I don't see how arbitrary could be the word you're looking for.
