Gameplay

Battlefield 3 features the combined arms battles across single-player, co-operative and multiplayer modes. It reintroduces several elements absent from the Bad Company games, including fighter jets, the prone position and 64-player battles on PC.[9][10] To accommodate the lower player count on consoles, the ground area is limited for Xbox 360 and PS3, though fly space remains the same.[11]

During an interview with Game Informer, EA stated that Commander Mode is unlikely to be included,[12] which was met with some criticism on the EA forum.[13] The game features maps set in Paris, Tehran (as well as other locations in Iran), Sulaymaniyah, New York, Wake Island, Oman, Kuwait and other parts of the Persian Gulf. The maps cover urban streets, metropolitan downtown areas, and open landscapes suited to vehicle combat.[14] Battlefield 3 introduces the «Battlelog»; a free cross-platform social service with built-in text messaging, voice communications, game statistics, and the ability to join games that friends are already playing (though both players need to be on the same platform).[15]

Cooperative

A demo featuring the new co-op mode was featured at Gamescom 2011. DICE general manager Karl Magnus Troedsson confirmed that a split screen option will not be available in co-op mode.[16] Battlefield 3  's new Battlelog social network, DICE noted, would be tied to all co-op matches, allowing players to try to beat friends' scores and to track their performance.[17] It has also been confirmed that participating in co-op mode allows the player to collect points that unlock additional content that can be used in multiplayer.

Multiplayer

Battlefield 3 's multiplayer matches see players take on one of four roles: Assault, Support, Engineer and Recon. The Assault class focuses on assault rifles and healing teammates. The Support class focuses on light machine guns and supplying ammunition. The Engineer class focuses on supporting and destroying vehicles. The Recon class focuses on sniping and spotting enemies. The mechanics of the weapons have been changed to utilize the new engine: compatible weapons may have bipods attached which can then be deployed when in the prone position or near suitable scenery, and provide a significant boost to accuracy and recoil reduction. Suppressive fire from weapons blurs the vision and reduces the accuracy of those under fire, as well as health regeneration.[19][20] The Recon class can put a radio beacon anywhere on the map and all squad members will be able to spawn on the location of the beacon.[21]

Several game modes are present, including Conquest, Rush, Squad Deathmatch, Squad Rush and for the first time since Battlefield 1942, Team Deathmatch. However, more game modes are available through the purchase of extra downloadable content packs.[22] The PC version of Battlefield 3 is by default launched via a web browser from the Battlelog web site.[23] A server browser is present in console versions of the game, however.[

Setting and characters

Battlefield 3 's Campaign story is set in 2014 and covers events that occur over the span of nine months. Most of the story takes place in the Iran–Iraq region. Other locations include the Azerbaijani border; Paris, France; and New York City, New York. Most missions occur as flashbacks on part of the interrogation of Staff Sergeant Henry Blackburn, and do not occur in order of events.[citation needed]

The Campaign puts the player in control of four different player characters. For most of the story, the player controls SSgt. Henry «Black» Blackburn (portrayed by Gideon Emery), a member of the U.S. Marine Corps 1st Recon Battalion and main protagonist.[25] The player also controls Sgt. Jonathan «Jono» Miller, a M1 Abrams tank operator deployed in Tehran;[26] Lt. Jennifer «Wedge» Colby Hawkins, an F/A-18F Super Hornet Weapon Systems Officer;[25][27] and Dimitri «Dima» Mayakovsky, a Russian GRU operative.[28] The main antagonist, Solomon, is an overseas asset for the Central Intelligence Agency.[citation needed] Non-player characters include: Misfit 1, Blackburn's squad (including David Montes, Steve Campo, Christian Matkovic, and Cpt. Quinton Cole); Dima's GRU squadmates Vladimir and Kiril; and CIA Agents G. and W., who interrogate Blackburn for much of the Campaign. Battlefield 3 for PC.

Plot

On 15 March, Sgt. Blackburn's squad, Misfit 1-3, attempted to find and safely return a US squad investigating an improvised explosive device in Sulaymaniyah, Iraqi Kurdistan, whose last known position was in territory controlled by the PLR (People's Liberation & Resistance), an Iranian paramilitary insurgent group.[29][30][31] They find the missing squad, which had been ambushed by the PLR; but before they can escape the city, a massive earthquake wrecks the city. Blackburn, fellow squadmate Montes, and other survivors fight their way out of the ruins of the city.[32] On the same day, the PLR stage a coup d'état in Iran, and the US subsequently invades.[27][32] Lt. Hawkins takes part in a raid on enemy fighters over Iran and an air strike over Mehrabad Airport. In the aftermath of the air strikes, Misfit 1 was sent into Tehran to perform battle damage assessment and apprehend the leader of the PLR, Faruk Al-Bashir.[27] While investigating an underground bank vault in the target's suspected location, Blackburn and his team learn that the PLR have acquired Russian suitcase nukes, with two of the three devices missing.[33] Being overrun, Misfit requests backup from an M1 Abrams column «Anvil 3», including Sergeant Miller. Miller facilitates Misfit 1's helicopter extraction, but is captured when waiting for the arrival of the Quick Reaction Force. Miller is promptly executed by Solomon and Al-Bashir, with the event being filmed and posted on the Internet.[34]

Later, Misfit 1-3 manages to capture Al-Bashir, who becomes fatally wounded when they cause his escape vehicle to crash. Realizing that he had been betrayed and used, Al-Bashir reveals some of Solomon's plan—to detonate the nukes in Paris and New York City—before succumbing to his wounds.[35][36] Misfit 1 gets a lead on arms dealer Amir Kaffarov, who was working with Solomon and Al-Bashir.[37] They attempt to capture Kaffarov from his villa on the Caspian Sea coast, near the Azerbaijani border. However, they run into a Russian paratrooper battalion, also after Kaffarov, who engage them with airdropped BMP-2s, with Su-25s providing close air support.[38] In the ensuing chaos, Blackburn's squadmates, Campo and Matkovic, are killed in an enemy airstrike.[34][39] Meanwhile, a Spetsnaz team led by Dima assaults Kaffarov's villa. Kaffarov tries to bribe his way out, but Dima interrogates him nonetheless.[34][40] Blackburn arrives at the villa and finds Dima and an unconscious Kaffarov. Dima reveals Solomon's plot to Blackburn, and requests his cooperation to prevent «a war between [their] nations». Meanwhile, Misfit 1's commanding officer Cole arrives, and Blackburn is forced to shoot his superior before he can kill Dima.[41] Blackburn's shooting of his commanding officer results in his eight-hour interrogation by the C.I.A. at Hunters Point, Queens.

During Blackburn's captivity, Dima's Spetsnaz squad attempts to stop the attack in Paris. Dima is unsuccessful; Vladimir dies, while he and Kiril suffer the effects of the nuclear detonation. Meanwhile, the CIA agents do not believe Blackburn's story, since Solomon is a CIA informant, and there is no concrete proof of his involvement in the terrorist attacks. They instead believe that Russia is responsible for the attacks, and that Dima has tricked Blackburn.[42]

With no other options, Blackburn and surviving squad member Montes break out of captivity to stop the attack in New York. Evading police, Blackburn manages to break into a hijacked subway train, full of Solomon's men and explosive charges. He works his way to the front car, where he is ambushed by Solomon. When ambushed by Solomon, Blackburn gains the upper hand by obtaining and activating the detonator, causing the train to crash. Blackburn pursues Solomon through the sewers and up to street level. Montes, having obtained a police car, picks up Blackburn and engages Solomon and the PLR in a brief vehicular chase, which ends with both cars crashing in Times Square. As a bewildered crowd watches on, Solomon shoots Montes, but Blackburn manages to knock Solomon out in the ensuing brawl and recovers the nuclear bomb.[43]

In the epilogue, the player learns that Dima had survived the Paris detonation, albeit suffering radiation poisoning from the blast. He writes about the efforts of both himself and Blackburn to stop Solomon's plan «to set fire to the world». As he finishes, he examines a pistol, and seems to point it towards his head. A knock comes from his door, the screen cuts to black, and the last sound is that of the pistol being loaded.[44]

Development

Battlefield 3 's lead platform was originally the PC until it was switched to consoles mid-way through development.[45] The Xbox 360 version of Battlefield 3 is shipped on two discs due to the disc size limit;[46] however, the PS3 version ships on one Blu-ray Disc.

Battlefield 3 debuts the new Frostbite 2 engine. This updated Frostbite engine can realistically portray the destruction of buildings and scenery to a greater extent than previous versions.[47] Unlike previous iterations, the new version can also support dense urban areas.[48]

Battlefield 3 uses a new type of character animation technology called ANT. ANT technology is used in EA Sports games, such as FIFA, but for Battlefield 3 is adapted to create a more realistic soldier, with the ability to transition into cover and turn the head before the body, as well as «drag fallen comrades into safety and mount weapons on almost any part of the terrain».[14][49]

PlayStation 3 exclusive content

On 6 June 2011, during Sony's E3 2011 press conference, Jack Tretton of Sony Computer Entertainment of America announced that the PlayStation 3 version of the game would be bundled with a free copy of Battlefield 1943, however, at launch, the game wasn't included.[50] EA then said that Battlefield 3 PlayStation 3 owners would receive timed-exclusive DLC for the game instead.[51] On 20 November 2011, Law firm Edelson McGuire took EA to court on behalf of disappointed gamers. The complaint focuses on EA's communication of the change of plan, second proposal with early DLC that had already been announced.[52] Shortly after EA was threatened with being taken to court over its failure to deliver the free game as announced at E3, EA announced they will offer owners of the PlayStation 3 version of Battlefield 3 a free downloadable copy of Battlefield 1943.[53]

Wii U version

On 7 June 2011, during Nintendo's E3 2011 press conference, John Riccitiello of EA games expressed interest in Nintendo's upcoming system, the Wii U.[54] Patrick Liu, the executive producer of Battlefield 3, stated that EA DICE currently have no games in development for the Wii U and a port for the console «probably won't happen».[55]

Beta

The open beta commenced on 29 September 2011, for all platforms,[56] and ended on 10 October 2011. 48 hour early access was granted to those players who bought the Tier 1 edition of Medal of Honor or pre-ordered the digital version of Battlefield 3: Limited Edition through Origin.[57]

Easter eggs

Battlefield 3 and its five DLC packs contain numerous Easter eggs. Hiding in obscure areas of the game are references to other Electronic Arts games and franchises including Mirror's Edge[58] and Mass Effect.[59] Some sources suggested other Easter eggs pointed to future Battlefield games or DLC packs. A wall on the multiplayer map «Wake Island» featuring the number 2143 and a futuristic hovercraft on a different map in the End Game DLC have been said to suggest a follow up to 2006's Battlefield 2142 is in the works.[60][61][62][63] Several dinosaur Easter eggs—such as a flying pterodactyl on the map «Nebandan Flats» and tyrannosaurus skulls or toy statues on various maps—have led others to believe a dinosaur-related game or DLC would be released in the future.[64][65][66] The idea of a dinosaur-related minigame originated from fan feedback through social media outlets prior to Battlefield 3 's release.[67] Neither of these possible upcoming games has been confirmed by EA.
