Official Battlefield 3 Hype ThreadLaunch Date: October 25th, 2011GUFU Official Public Server:General InfoBattlefield 3 is the 9th entry into the Battlefield franchise since the series's introduction in 2002 and is the sequel to 2005's Multiplayer Game of the Year here on Gamespot, Battlefield 2. After three Battlefield games expanding the unique team oriented and vehicle focused gameplay onto the consoles, Battlefield 3 returns to its roots on the PC. Featuring native DX10/11 support, 64 player battles, and a unique player networking service called Battlelog. Returning to the series on all platforms (yes all) are the ability to go prone, pilot jets, server browsers, and the communication rose. In addition to the returning features, Battlefield 3 brings a single player campaign, a first for the PC series, a co-op campaign, a first for the series, team deathmatch a first for the series, and a host of gameplay changes/additions to improve every aspect of the Battlefield series. With these changes and additions, Battlefield 3 is poised to take the top spot in multiplayer gaming for 2011.Single-Player CampaignIn 2014 an Iranian insurgent group named the PLC starts to mass its forces along the Iran/Iraq border. You play a variety of United States Marines as conflict arises between the US and the PLA. Take the fight through the city streets as Sgt. Henry 'Buck' Blackburn, and take the fight to the desert with an M1A2 Abrams tank as Cpl. Johnathen 'Jono' Miller. Players will also participate in a night raid on the Iranian city of Teheran and be both the pilot and co-pilot of an F-18.The single player story for Battlefield 3 will be a more believable journey through the not-so-distant future and feature real world location. Players will partake in both linear, scripted action sequences and more open world/sandbox levels. Each level will feature an amazing amount of interaction with the environment as nearly every surface will be physically damaged and destroyed by the fierce fighting. Walls can be destroyed, cover can be blown away, and entire buildings will collapse all of which will influence the dynamic battlefields.The single player campaign will be longer than the popular Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 on the normal difficulty with the two more advanced difficulties to take even longer. Each difficulty will feature a number of achivements to encourage multiple playthroughs.Co-Op CampaignFor the first time in a Battlefield game players will be able to fight shoulder-to-shoulder with a friend in a Cooperative Campaign. The Cooperative Campaign is a separate campaign from the the single-player campaign described above. This separate campaign is an attempt to fuse the pick up-and-play styIe of the campaign and the replayability of the multiplayer. Details about the storyline of the co-op have not totally revealed yet. The one mission demoed by DICE takes place in Teheran and takes a very different approach than the single player campaign.DICE has said the co-op campaign will feature more open-ended action like the multiplayer. Players will either be working together for an objective, one player flying a chopper and the other gunning, or each player supporting the other in an asymmetrical way, one player covering another as he disarms a bomb. More details on the campaing are sure to surface as we approach launch date.MultiplayerMultiplayer has been the core of the Battlefield experience since day one. While the Bad Company series on the consoles saw an introduction of a single-player campaign, the PC-focused Battlefield titles have always put multilayer first. For Battlefield 3, DICE is bringing back the massive vehicle focused, 64 player battles that have been the staple of the series since 2002. In addition to the Conquest mode, DICE is introducing the Rush gamemode that was popularized by the Bad Company series to the core franchise. In addition to Conquest and Rush, Squad Rush and Squad Deathmatch will be included in BF3, both gamemodes started in the Bad Company series. New to the series is a Team Deathmatch mode. Unlike the rest of the game modes, Team Deathmatch will be an infantry focused, 12 vs 12 fight to reach a kill-count.Battlefield 3 sets itself apart from other modern military shooters in a few ways. The first way is the emphasis on teamwork. All of the game modes require teams to work together so that they may accomplish the objectives. Players assume different roles on the battlefield that assume different tasks such a an engineer that can destory walls and vehicles and a recon who can scout enemy positions and take out entrenched positions with a well placed headshot. To aid with this, BF3 has a squad system which puts 3 people with one squad leader in a squad of 4 to coordinate their attack/defense. Missing from BF3 that was present in BF2 is the commander, a player who has an RTS view of the entire battlefield and could give commands to each squad. The commander has been replaced in favor of squad leaders with more abilities. Players may spawn off of only their squad leader if they choose to spawn off of their squad, not a spawnpoint. It is also rumored that the squad leader will beable to call in UAV recons and other supporting elements thus dividing up the power the commander used to have between the squads.The second unique feature of Battlefield 3 is the emphasis on vehicle combat. The maps in BF3 are much larger than your average shooter and thus require modes of transportation to taxi players around the map. This naturally brings in a focus on the vehicles as players must now secure transportation if they want to be effective on the battlefield. Tanks and AFVs play a major role in the vehicle combat. New to the vehicle combat is the ability to disable the vehicle without destroying it and the ability to kill individual crew members. You can kill the driver of a tank stopping it in its tracks, you can kill the passenger manning a side gun turret in an AFV, or you can stop a ...

[QUOTE="gaming25"][QUOTE="TREAL_Since"]Actually, shooters having a single player is a part of the new standard that DICE and EA are following. Otherwise, they wouldn't have added single player if they felt it wasn't necessary in today's market. If it's there, it has to be critiqued.

I think its the score that is driving the criticism. They can say how bad they think the SP is all they want, but to give the game a 7.5 or an 8 for it is just ridiculous.

How? Plenty of people buy games for the single player

Also did you even read the review? He said COOP AND SINGLE PLAYER WERE BAD. That is 2/3 things. If anything Jim was being kind for this game

Stop acting like its the end of the world that the game got a lower score because he did not want to take EA and dices bribes

Same guy reviewed Black Ops and praised the worst CoD campaign yet to death.

[QUOTE="fueled-system"]
why are you getting so upset
Maybe cod will be the better game
Your hatred for call of duty is unreal get over it not every game has to be perfect
ChubbyGuy40

Because we have every damn right to disagree with the score.

It's not the hatred for coD, but you can't see that apparently.

THE SINGLE PLAYER SUCKED THE COOP SUCKED how hard is that to understand from you guys?

A 7.5 and a 8.5 are GOOD SCORES.
