    Story spotted @ Gamespy. 
     
    Original Source of Infos @ Official Battlefield Blog

     

    What's there?

     
    • Hands-on MP Demo - Multiplayer Playable on original BF3 Map 'Operation Métro'
    • More trailers of both MP and SP
    • Loads of Previews and Hands-on Impressions from all Outlets
     

    What's to be revealed at a later date?

     
    • Co-op Campaign Mode
    • Battlelog Social Network (it exists and it's gonna be a free-of-charge service is all we'll get to know from E3)
    • Team Deathmatch
     
     
    Really glad the guys at DICE met their goals and are able to present a hands-on MP demo at E3. It's what needed to be done and they did it. So looking forward to see everyone's jaw drop. The glory of Battlefield shall no longer be refuted! You are about to be assimilated into the BF community. Welcome home!

    Nay. Team Deathmatch will be revealed at a later date. Guess they're going to show either classic Conquest or Rush or both.

    Being all about tickets and K/D is the most mainstream as online multiplayer gets. If it has to be there for the audience at large, it has to be there. I don't mind it being there. It certainly will be wicked fun with BF3's assets. Still more of a Rush and Conquest guy myself. Hopefully BF2142's Assault Lines will be back too for a more focused Conquest experience.

    I agree with your concern. I can already see a day when the only servers you can find are death match servers.

    'Operation Métro' sounds like we'll be seeing a Paris map with some underground CQC bits in a Métro subway station added to the largescale warfare mix. Awesome!

     This leaked photo from GDC might be grabbed from 'Operation Métro' - that's certainly Paris in any case.

    Operation Métro sounds interesting. Hoping for connections between hotspots on the map via the subway tunnels.

    Yeah. There are likely gonna be underground flanking routes. Likely some underground objective in Rush and an underground capture point for Conquest in a Métro station too. Definitely gonna add a nice layer of depth and gameplay diversity.

    This is what I'm worried about.  And what was wrong with squad death match?  I thought that was a great twist on death match...I always loved the fact that BF was objective/team based.

    want.
    On topic: I can't wait for E3 just for the BF3 / MW3 banter. Now, don't get me wrong - I am NOT a fanboi on either side. I do prefer BF series, but I do love the back and forth of the PR teams. Quite lulz. *sips wine*

    Death match will not take away any audience from Rush and Conquest. If anything it will just be a gateway drug to R and C for noobs.

    @SeriouslyNow: Have to agree. Adding more modes only strengthens the game. Why would anyone be upset there adding DM??? DM's not really my style either(still fun), so guess what? I just won't use it. That simple.

    I agree as well. I got uncomfortable when i learned a main-series Battlefield game is gonna have run-around-in-circles-shooting-nonstop mode (TDM), but then i was like, hey, a BF3 TDM is like COD for COD fans, only with better visuals (and better everything). So it'll please those who are too impatient and superficial to enjoy a long-lasting conquest mode 
     
    they'll get dumped in TDM, we'll run in the glorious conquest, everyone's happy :)

    Even though we could probably still jump into TDM to boost our stats.

    If someone wants to bullshit there stats they'll do it. People do it now in BF2 and BFBC2. This won't make any difference.

    I really am curious if they will announce a new game mode similar to Titan. That was fun.
