@@hoodbear6880 no it doesn't even come close. Game starts lagging, everyone parachutes everywhere, map gets sucky. Damavand was purely epic bc you just fought to get their and you just feel like an epic action movie charge running off the edge.
It's absolutely shocking how good it still looks. All I want is a remaster of this masterpiece of a game. Honestly I want the same exact game, just make it work with modern consoles and pc's but don't change the core gameplay.
Battlefield 3 is where my battlefield experience started for me, the hours I spent playing gulf of Oman, metro and all the other iconic maps were great even with friends was it so mutch fun, played the game from 2011 to 2015 and never had not fun at the game an absolute jewel of a game
@@iwanjoness yes I know right and the games that wouldn't end, the one time the opposite team camped the beaches with snipers to kill players on the carrier and other times players camped on the rocks on the spawn area of the enemy team. That map was just perfect and so fun to play.
@@F7HFL i assume there was too many people who loved the feature and so they would have left it in the game as not to annoy fans. I personally think it was fun and added another layer to the game. In my opinion those cranes should have had ladders though
I’m sure there will be returning maps. Hopefully classics like Metro, Locker, and others. If they have a new and improved engine designed up, and are truly pouring their hearts into this game like the best ones we know of then it will definitely be worth getting, even if later after they’ve worked out all the bugs. That’s one thing Modern Warfare didn’t capture with the limited 50v50 mode. It felt ignorant, and soulless. You just respawned out of the sky every 4 seconds 200 foot away from a sniper, that was waiting for you to hit the ground. It never felt like a war, battlefield always did. You had snipers 700 meters away no sub gun could reach. In modern warfare a subgun is a fkin sniper.
@@ALph4cro The engine of BF is years in front of COD... Graphics gameplay, souns, light, Gunplay, reloads, Guns, tanks, planes, for me wins in every aspect... but ya,,, 2 diferent games 1 mini game and 1 big game! Ahaha jst kiddin :D
@@mitt4276 bigger maps... Lesser flanks, not so linear... Made the game a big sand box.... There is just one map that sticks to bf formula, its locker, and its not that great, and a map from china dlc with lots of buildings going for close quaters like the one dlc of bf 3...., they didnt know how to balance the player bigger number, with the maps being more linear... They had to make it soo big that it felt like gta and didnt promote to much team work because everyone was doing their thing....
My most memorable moments in this game I will never forget. The beta, man oh man I couldnt put the beta down! I played it until the stopped supporting it, then I bought the game and all the dlc. I will never forget using that absolute PIG of an M60 with the extended belts lettin' 'er eat while aiming down a hall in Metro, Sharp shooting at 1k meters iron sights with my m39 emr on bander desert, taking a Jeep off damavand peak and oooh GOD the C4 Jeeps!!! Trolling became popular around 2010 and in 2011 it was open season! I'd slap 6 of them suckers on a Jeep, crank up the trolling theme song and cruise for the sorry sumbitch who was about to get blasted! I even remember the mystery of acquiring all the guns and potential hidden and dice dev variants!!! Oh damn those were the good ole days..
this was my first battlefield. i remember playing this with my dad and getting a good laugh while we drank a nice cold cup of coca-cola on a summer day
jihad jeeps were already a thing in bf2, love that tactic :D Also fun fact: BF3 didn't have horns on vehicles at launch, they added it in one of the first patches, upon popular request.
Brett Collins I did love seeing how I tiered up against other players based off the hours I put in and roles I played as opposed to just raw score without taking into a account how long it took someone to get to where you were at... true measure of gameplay record as opposed to who put in more hours
Also, browsing the net and... hey, friend is in a server - joining. No turning on Origin, waiting for it to update, opening up BFV, waiting for *it* to update, then finally... ...could not join game.
Man, Seine Crossing... I spent an insanely huge amount of hours playing that map, and the Aftermath ones were original as hell too. BF3 was the pinnacle of FPS games, and I miss it sorely.
I like the “crunchy” sound (the stuffs that the soldier brings hit each other while u run) when your soldier run and hopping around, idk, it just felt so satisfying
That magical moment when you (after mastering the difficult learning-curve), lead a running target and holding high to compensate the ballistics. Then the moment after firing and watching the flight path connect with the enemy's head. That is a Battlefield moment in my books.
Best moment for me on bf3 was when I was playing conquest and we were getting murdered and out of no where the entire team decided to fight back and come back to win with just one ticket left
Legitimately ache for the feeling I used to get playing this game. Sorely miss the golden era of gaming. BF3 was just perfection for me. The sheer scale, the intensity, it left me in awe and I was always impressed with the experience it offered. Hope BF6 reignites our imaginations.
This was the game that got me interested in FPS I remember waking up early just so I could get a few hours in before school, all the memories when looking over the maps again. What a game.
Hands down the map design was my favorite pet of bf3. I can’t confidently name 1 map from bf4 that I would wake up dying to play. Bf3 almost every map had wanting to play
@Matthew Cunningham i prefer to play Locker much more than other maps in BF4 conquest mode, just cuz the vehicles in that game, especially the aircraft, are not very balanced
I fondly remember playing this on snow days when school got cancelled or when I felt “sick” and stayed home even on Fridays and Saturdays where I just played it til early in the morning
I really only played video games the years of battlefield 3 and 4 and my career died off after hardline. Put ab 1000hrs on 3 and 4 and I don’t regret any of it. Those games were truly truly special. I got good at them because they were fun and I was having a good time. I’m happy that I spent my middle school days playing these games bc it was indeed a great time
I’ve been saying for a few years now they need to remaster this game, and right now would be a perfect opportunity to do it. This would definitely bring a lot of players back from COD.
@@sublimesubaru2857 Yes it is but it's call of duty they should've focused on map design and questioned whether the new engine would mess up gameplay considering how campy cod players are already.
Truly, a legendary game. This game had everything, and it still does. The guns were the best thing: They felt different from each other, they sound great, and you could play with any of them without caring to much about "meta"(Well... kinda).
@@mvrk182 IMO, the AEK, AN94, M16, M416 (and G3?) meta was healthy. Laser accurate M416 with low recoil, AEK was a great close and med range wep, M16 all rounder, AN94 1200 RPM on PC as the sweatiest gun in the game and the G3 highest TTK was such a good balance in game design.
@@FloridaBikerJP I like how you could use all of those and get killed by them too and not feel robbed you would feel a little salty about the m16 but nothing compared to most other games today that has a 'meta'. I really miss the cq maps as well namely ziba.
Except it had nothing compared to the game it supposedly succeeded, including no commander, no 6-man squads, only 4 classes, fewer much smaller maps on release, no mod support, and the list goes on. BF3 is a textbook example of a game publisher watering down its franchise's gameplay design in favour of catering to the lowest common denominator. The game was an average, at best, shooter with a very unstable core and launch, having multiple issues with netcode and game balancing problems still to this day. They did however market the game like madmen and made sure to fuel the whole prepubescent circle jerk that was "CoD vs. BF". BF3 might make sense as a "good" game if all you've ever played in 2011 was 4 very similar CoD games. But that gives no merit to how awfully deceitful they marketed the game as a brand new sequel to the classic BF2, when it clearly wasn't.
Tanker here. The thousands of hours on the various maps in this game.. I miss it.. Playing planetside 2 still though but tempted to pop back on this and have a few rounds. I remember running down to the game shop, buying this for full price, 90 aud, on release. The next few months were spent as they are nowadays, at home. And they went like fire. The game still looks amazing. Timeless style.
Miss this game. Loved the base jump for attackers, still gets me every time. Loved Metro too, adored it. Many tight game were played on that map. The game released with some issues but for the most part it was a very solid experience and I still love the game and go back and play it. Great game.
I remember when I saw that teaser trailer for BF3, seeing the jets again gave me goosebumps. My build at the time was an i5 760 + 4GB + GTS 450 1GB and I had to run the game at 720p for it to be playable despite having a 1080p monitor.
The nostalgia this game has given me especially when I was feeling down in 2011,this game truly saved my life and gave me happiness along with friends ❤
Nothing has ever captured the same sense of fun, chaos, cohesion, quality and awe at the same time like this game did. In the unique game industry climate it released into, this game was magical in a way I can't imagine anybody being able to replicate again. The community that formed around it with such a burning passion was both a testament to that effect, as well as a pillar of it. Legendary sums it up perfectly.
Probably the best comment here. Should be stickied on top with all the likes. I think there's something special about BF3. You can still, to this very day, find people playing it. LOTS of people. Its not an obscure Discord game where you need to dig in the dirt to find some players, on the contrary: People HAVE BF4 and BF1, they just deliberately choose to go back to BF3 a lot.
@@clelvis225 haha same , worst time of my life , i was depressed and became very underweight, but the only positive part about my day was playing bf3 after school
@@adriaandraije3838 sucks you had to experience BF3 during a shitty period of your life but at least it helped you get through it all and provide some happiness....hope you're doing better nowadays!
2 of my favourite moments on BF3 1 Caspian boarder. Me and my brother in an Abrams on rush. Coming up to the last section and my brother fires the main gun hitting the frogger as it's taking off on the runway. 2 the custom servers that ran metro 24/7 with unlimited time. You would literally end up on two bottlenecks trying to get out the station/defending the station and if the defensive team got into some good spots it was a slaughter house. Really good for bumping up the ranks
Bang on, easily the greatest game I’ve ever played. Best BF, most time played, most fun, sweat and anger. Nothing compares to it. Give me this, remastered with today’s graphic, a couple of tweaks in movement and maps and I would pay a hundred bucks without blinking. Just imagine being able to swap kits with the push of a button again. Ah the dream!
battlefield 3 had some of my most memorable battlefield moments - specifically the maps. There was something so special about the Close Quarters DLC that I loved - from being able to shoot out holes (though predefined) in the drywall and then proceed to shoot enemies through the holes, to the cross map chaos that was scrapmetal.. amazing times in Battlefield that I so wish I could re-live playing those maps for the first time! I sure do hope DICE make this next modern shooter as good as Battlefield 3/4 as I miss the amazing memories these oldies brought me!
When he said Noshahr Canals TDM that brought back so many moments of love and rage and grinding on my weapons and then capspian border operation firestorm so legendary
Bf3 was literally the best and most underrated unappreciated game ever, this game was something else , I still got chills when I hear that theme song, it was incredible, this is the only game that’s trailer didn’t do it justice every game was just EPIC, this game was honestly ahead of its time
I don't think it was underrated and unappreciated. Basically dropkicked Modern Warfare 3's Release into the Abyss. It was kinda like the Hype for Halo 2/3 and dominated for Years. A LOT of People played the Shit out of it and still consider it the best FPS they've ever bought.
He's right on the fact that everybody left BF3 when BF4 came, while it was definitely not the same gameplay experience. No more close maps, longer ttk, slower moves. And even worst netcode. This is just sad that Dice never fix its games and always go forward on a next one, because BF3 with an updated netcode (and graphics, slightly, why not) would be one of the best fps of all timez.
Maps like in BF3 with some Rush based Maps like bc2. Weapon feeling like in bf4 and gameplay like a mix of all of them. Didn't like the overloaded weapon and gimmick possibilities in bf4.
Damn....same here! Was previously playing Xbox and enjoyed BFMC and BFBC so when BF3 was announced I had to finally cross over because I loved BF so much! Had an AMD FX chip (can't remember the exact one) and some low end gpu...had only half a clue what I was doing back then!
I loved these long rounds on Metro where you just played 1 round that lasted like 1 houre. And at the end you where just happy about the end either you have won or lost. The Xp screen and the exhaustion that you felt. Just remarkable. And the following Battlefields couldnt catch that feeling for me, especially BF1 and V arent that catchy in that feeling area. But BF3 and BF4 are and forever will be my favorite Games of all Time. Thanks for that beautiful Video, that reminded me what Battlefield used to be for me. Cheers.
Great video jack 👍🏽 I didn’t get into BF3 until two years after it came out but man I remember the online very well I have never played a game like this before so spawning in and seeing two jets fly over me having a dogfight was insane wish next Battlefield game has something unique like this one and bf4
Usas 12 with frag was amazing. I would purposely put c4 on tanks then shoot em with the Usas 12 frag rounds so people would think that I’d be taking out tanks with a shotgun :D
@@Hoggar3 toxic for sure, but nothing beat coming to pick someone up with a chopper, bailing out at the last second, and then watching your teammate get pancake with the suicide showing up in the kill feed........ Oh glory days
I got BF3 for Christmas the year it came out and it was impossible to put down for years. I loved the unique campaign and Noshahr Canals has a special place in my heart. I also loved sniping from the collapsed buildings on Tehran Highway. Battlefield 3 really was lightning in a bottle
@@lovablesnowman Blue filter in its own way has a love hate relationship. It wasn't big for most people but it's iconic and the game built around the blue filter made some maps one of a kind looking. Weirdly miss it
So many good memories with battlefield 3 and 4 me and my best friend just graduated high school and would play all day on big ticket conquest servers those were the days 🥺
Really though? How could they justify a remake when you can get BF3 on origin plus all the DLC for dirt cheap/free nowadays, plus it still looks amazing really not much worse than current BF titles. BF3 was just so ahead of its time that I think a remake would be a lackluster seller for DICE, the jump just isnt big enough IMO.
Battlefield 3 will always be my favorite! It’s why really got me into the series! I was actually in the marine Corp When this released! The sounds feels reminded me of real gunfire and grenades going off
BF2 was the game that got me into PC gaming way back. I can still remember how excited everyone was when they announced BF3, I still consider myself lucky to have experienced this game in it's prime. Just wish DICE was still capable of producing a game at this level.
So nostalgic for me, i remember going my cousin's and seeing him play this then i got it and wow, uno i felt betrayed that BF4 came out, Best game from my childhood.
If the next vid is a BF4 vid then I’ve got this feeling we’re going to get an announcement for BF6 soon. These vids just seem “out of the blue” although I’m getting very nostalgic over them haha
I feel Jack is making them to show what he believes these battlefield games made them great as based of a rumour DICE have been searching through development of past battlefields to see what they made them great and BF3 is one of them.
Dude i remember the actual day when i was droven with my dad to the store to pick up bf3 on release day, its crazy to drive to the store to get the actuall game, nowadays its all about early acces and download, i remeber the hardest grind in my whole videogame history ♥ BF3 is a masterpiece !
I remember the long killstreaks I used to get in a minibird on Noshahr Canals. Or dominating on TDM with the M16A3 or M26 Slug... or even sniping with a USAS-12 Frag😂😂 id pay $60 for a full remaster of this game.
I remember the feeling of playing this for the first time on my first pc. amd phenom ii x4 840 and gtx 560 ti. Ran like shit but was still fun to play.
Same config, lol! I joined it after playing a shitton hours of CoD: BO. and when for the first time helicopter flew above me, i realised that THIS IS THE GAME I NEEDED!
Can't forget about the banter between the soldiers when you're getting shot up or your ally is taking damage.. The things they said in this game was top tier
My favourite FPS game of all time. Even tho I played it on X360, I still loved it. Met a great group of people online and one day we even decided to meet in real life and get drunk together. BF3 was sooooo good. U could go play on big maps and use tanks, helicopters, jets etc or go play death match/domination on Noshahr Canals or Ziba Tower.
I keep having these weird moments where I've forgotten that BF3 even existed. It sort or merges together with BF4 in my mind. Probably because of the maps that they remade for BF4. But then I'll see a random video clip of BF3 and it all comes flooding back and I just get astounded by how awesome it was. It had some of the best vanilla and DLC maps in the franchise.
My greatest moment was, when I thought about how realistic it is. I was flying on Wake Island with an SU I had the idea of landing on the enemy carrier. So I did and it even had the wires for landing like on a real carrier!!!
The spotting was awesome. Spotting is so important in Bf3. You could spot literally from anywhere and let your team know enemy locations. They even had made muavs for that and the sensors. Love the game.
NO it does not. So you could metagame the shit out of the game in your heli in the back of the map so you can brag about your 10.0 K/D on the weekends. No thanks.
the real reason i loved bf3 so much is how freely you could just jump in a tank or jet or buggy and cause as much shit as you wanted, ram down as much stuff as you wanted. if im using this phrase correctly it's like "the world is your oyster" but with bf3, loved that game man
One of the HUGE things I don't hear a lot of people mention about this game was how DICE managed to bring dedicated server rentals to console in a later update - it was practically unheard of at the time. Being a console player at the time I had never experienced such stability or player numbers - and then I heard that PC _still_ had larger maps and higher player counts. It's part of what drove me to buy my first gaming PC a year later.
