And the challenge of learning new maps was always good fun, and the design of these was pretty cool. The way the classes worked was changed from BC2 however, which again took some getting used to. Instead of Assault troops giving out ammo, they now gave out health packs, and the support guys, with the LMGs, now gave out ammo instead of health. Luckily, engineers and wookies sorry, recon stayed as they were, so I was able to keep playing as my favourite class, shooting rockets up enemy tank tailpipes.
In addition to Conquest, there was Rush, where a team is tasked with defending two points while the other throws everything, including the kitchen sink, at them to try and blow them up. Squad Rush — a smaller scale version of Rush and Squad Deathmatch, where two squads fight to get the most kills — was also present, as was Team Deathmatch.
Deathmatches always felt like they belonged with the faster, more arcadey feel of COD. As always with EA, new content was released on a regular basis for this title. The first DLC pack was called Back to Karkand, and featured four maps from Battlefield 2 that were remastered, as well as a number of new vehicles and weapons.
The second DLC pack, Close Quarters, was mainly focused on infantry action, with again four maps, but this time based around smaller, tighter engagements. It also brought in a new mode, Conquest Domination, which took Conquest and reimagined it for smaller maps. The third pack, Armoured Kill, was right up my alley, featuring huge maps, lots of vehicles and a ton of vehicle based carnage.
This also brought in new vehicles, including self propelled guns which took a lot of getting used to. Aftermath, the fourth pack, launched to little or no fanfare, and the only thing that stood out was the fact that you could get a crossbow that could fire different flavoured bolts. So, these are my memories of playing Battlefield 3. However, I did have fun, especially in the multiplayer, and as the game is freely playable via EA Play and to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members, it has to be worth a try even today.
