Battlefield is a game series that has a special place in many gamer hearts. I whom have been a hardcore Battlefield player since Battlefield 1942 on Pc I know the game very well.
Battlefield 3 uses the frostbite 2 engine which brings arguably the best graphics on a game. The destruction brought with the Frostbite 2 engine is the best ever seen in a game and I can say that with my head held high.
The animations used in battlefield 3 are very well done. They use animation tech originally used in many EA sports titles like FIFA and Madden and they make the game look very slick. In Battlefield 3 you see every gun shot hitch you while aiming down the sights adding realism to the game.
The return of jets brings battlefield back to it's roots with planes, something that was lacking in the bad company spin offs. The Jets fly very well in this game but they do take time to get master and deal some damage.
Battlefield has a variety of vehicles for you to play around with, tanks, jets, choppers, jeeps, boats, apc tanks and more.
This adds a lot to gameplay and makes you really have to think about what classes you choose, more on that later.
Story - The story of battlefield comes with many great set-pieces that are bound to be jaw dropping. The story starts with you control of a soldier called Blackburn. The story brings you to many great locations and have very good variety in the levels. You'll Sneak in one level, be a gunner in a Jet in another, and trying to stop a nuke from going off in another. The story is a very generic story in my opinion and I have felt like I've played it before. The story was too generic in my opinion but it was still decent.
Multiplayer - The multiplayer brings us the same game modes that we are used to in battlefield. Conquest, a basic capture the area game where teams fight to control points on the map.
Rush is a game mode where the Defending team protects 2 M'Com stations on the map and to not let the attacking team to destroy the points. If the points are destroyed the game is not over yet because the game will be pushed back further in the map and again 2 new m'com stations open up and a new portion of the map where battle will take place and this will continue till you reach the last and final M'Com Station. The Defending team can only win by defending the m'com stations by killing the attackers till the they are all dead.
Team deathmatch is a great gamemode and very basic mode that most of us are all used to. In TDM the spawns are much quicker and the games also end faster and more intense.
In Multiplayer you're in Squads of 4 where you can spawn on each other making using that to your advantage and coordinating attacks.
Destruction adds a new dimension of gameplay if you never played the bad company series. You cannot hide without your wall being blown up, you really have to think more with destruction being a big part in the game as a whole house can come falling down on you if it's damaged enough.
Great Classes!
Recon - Basic sniper class that can be used to kill from a distance, scout troops on the map, assist your team with motion sensors, and putting your own spawns on the map.
Assault- This is one of the most essential classes in the game. You are equipped with grenade launchers, assault rifles, Medkits that help your team heal faster, and defibrillator that revive your teammates.
Engineer- This is the anti vehicle class equipped with rifles, Rocket launchers, Repair tools to fix vehicles, and anti tank mines.
Support- This class is equipped with LMG guns, C4, and the most important tool in the game... Ammo to share with your teamates.
Battlefield 3's former Lead Designer has revealed that there were two cut missions from the main campaign
Get rid of campaigns, move the game to mobile, and try to compete with warzone. They would save time and money.
Whether it comes through remakes or a new game with a similar style, DICE should aim to revive the glory days of Battlefield 3 and Bad Company 2.
hmmm I think there will be no old BF glory days for EA since they are loyal to their greediness and laziness :D
You're asking for a miracle with EA that will never happen unless they can exploit the money making schemes behind it.

(Opinion): EA needs to release the Battlefield 3 Remake in order to win back gamers. after the disappointing reception of Battlefield 2042 & Battlefield V.
I've been wanting to see this for a long time; though I don't trust DICE to handle even a remake of their own work at this point.
Give it to Respawn.
Literally the only major in house developer I actually trust from EA at this point.
End-execution result aside .... Isn't that what BF Portal set out to achieve?
BF3 MP(maps + weapons) in a new Frostbite engine?
Hate it or love it .... but that's what they did.
Call it a Remaster technically ... coz Remake would be changing the mechanics and that's wot BF4 did over BF3 at MP side (barring the single-player story, which obviously has to be different)
Definitely not. They need to look at where they went wrong learn from it to make the next game as good as they possibly can instead of descending into the biggest problem with modern gaming and bowing to a hive-mind that is against new games
Hive mind against new games? The hell are you on about? New games come out all the time. New IPs are coming out all the time.
Battlefield pretty much peaked with 3 and 4. Ever since then they either under delivered or simply released broken games.
Naw they need to remaster bf3+bf4. I don't trust them to create new games anymore. I'll buy a remaster on new gen console, but i won't go near a new battlefield game again.
It's already known why it went wrong with Battlefield 2042. They didn't listen to feedback of their own creators, that's why so many of the people who worked on the older BF games left. And apparently they were working on a battle royal BF but changed their mind halfway, hence the huge empty maps. Also the time they had wasn't nearly enough to finish the game.
At least now people higher up have been replaced to fix the game. I assume they are not going to make this mistake again.
They need to stop with the live service bs, and make Battlefield games fun again. They're so worried about getting as much money as they can, that they forget that you have to make something that gamers actually want to play.
Unfortunately I don't think a multiplayer game can succeed on a broad scale without being structured as a live service. People don't like the terms "live service" or "games as a service," but if you ever look at the complaints people have about games, it's clear that's what they actually want. Look at Halo Infinite; great gameplay, and a solid batch of maps; 15 years ago it would have been considered great, but now because they aren't churning trashy new maps in every few weeks, people are crying all over the internet about it. Look at BFV-it got new maps for a year a half, which is later than any BF game except 4, and people still cry about it being "abandoned" because they actually want a live service.
A remake of 3 would unfortunately not work unless they found some way to make it a live service because if they just released the game, people would be crying about the lack of new maps within a few weeks.
You hit the nail on the head! I can’t tell you how many hours I spent on the original Counter Strike, Wolf:ET, UT:99, Gears 1, etc. etc. Heck, going back even further GoldenEye and Perfect Dark. None of these were live services but damn did I spend a whole lot of time playing the same maps and loving them.
It always amazes me when I hear people say that without anything new to unlock, even if it is just stupid weapon skins, that they are bored with the game. As vocal as people are about hating live services, there sure seems to be a lot of people who only get enjoyment from the superficial additions from a live service.

It's nice to see that I'm not the only person who recognizes this. Unfortunately, except for some latent communities on older games, there aren't people who play a multiplayer game because the game is fun anymore. When I suggested on the battlefield subreddit that Battlefield shouldn't have a progression system at all (it didn't at first, of course) I was criticized because people would see no point in playing a game where they aren't "earning" something when they play. This was borne out by all the people refusing to play the objective in Halo: Infinite because they were more concerned with dumb weekly challenges. The sad reality is that, although devs are certainly part of the problem, a lot of bad choices in game design now are rendered necessary because an entire generation had their concept of what multiplayer should be entirely shaped by COD and FTP games.
Personally I used to buy Call of Duty and Battlefield every year since 2010 but the past year I finally stopped. They are both definitely taking inspiration from Fortnite and I'm just not into it. The only reason it took so long for me to stop buying Call of Duty is the zombies mode but that's finally just so terrible I don't feel the need to buy just for it anymore.
Have a couple of years off wouldnt hurt. People want what they can’t have. Distance makes the heart grow fonder and all that come back in a couple of years all next gen and fresh. Yearly churn is just too much don’t need a new one every single year the same thing could be achievable with a few free maps 6-9-12 months down the line not like they can’t afford to at that point they probably have off cuts of levels spruce em up a bit. Doesn’t need a full blown? New sequel every year if the games are that good they wouldn’t anyway 🤷🏻♂️✌🏻 ;
I don't see why a remake of am old game would win people over
Even if they made a phenomenal remake it wouldn't change how they make new games
Because loads of people think BF3 is the best-ever BF game, and EA re-releasing it means they are giving people what they have been asking for all these years. Plus, it's not like it'll cost them a ton
So why a remake, why don't they just structure new games off BF3 formula or is this about nostalgia?
Jack because they're too incompetent to do that. They need to learn to walk first before running. Try copy and pasting BF3, and if they don't royally F that up then maybe they could try a new game again lol. DICE has fallen so hard
Eh I suppose, although currently the amount of campers in the game far exceeds the amount even in COD. Taking a break from BF3, probably get back into it during the new year.
Would this be considered your Game of the Year, Stolensoul?
Wow, some people are easily pleased.
