Battlefield 3 A Hype and Marketing Masterpiece

[@SYTGaming-ue1bx]

This game was so ahead of its time that it still looks better than most games today.

[@delicieuxz]

It can't be ahead of its time, since it's a downgraded, smaller version of Battlefield 2. The backlash to the downgrades of the series in Bf3 was so intense that DICE shut down their forums and wiped all the content on them. Bf3 might have decent graphics, but the gameplay and map-sizes were scaled back in a big way from Bf2's.

[@skyroads-ob2gn]

Battlefield 3 was definitely a cash-grab. It was hated by the Battlefield community on its release for being extremely downgraded from Battlefield 2. DICE marketed the game as returning to PC gaming in a big way, but it was anything but, as it was clearly severely compromised in design in order to tailor the game towards the console markets. It's a watered-down Battlefield. The backlash against DICE over Battlefield 3 was so strong that they permanently shut-down their online forums and wiped all the content from them. The forum pages were filled with walls of criticism and analysis of how Bf3 is inferior to and smaller than Bf2 in about every way.

I'm afraid that even if they release a Battlefield in a modern setting, the hype won't be as real and you won't have the same experience. This is because, firstly the game isn't competitive and the market has shifted to competitive games. In addition to this, Battlefield 1 was for most people disappointing, and Dice are making games for financial gain and not player experience.

It doesn't sound like you played the Battlefield 3 that I and most of the other Battlefield fans that criticized Bf3 on DICE's forums played. Actually, the response to Bf3 was that it was a total letdown, a heavily consolized and compromised Battlefield, and not worth the pre-release hype. That's why DICE closed their online forums that the dev team regularly posted at - to stop the intense criticism of Battlefield 3. The last truly amazing game that DICE made is Battlefield 2 - and actually a Canadian developer that had made the Desert Combat mod for Bf 1942 contributed a lot to Battlefield 2. Battlefield 3 was so gutted compared to Battlefield 2 that it created massive backlash from the Battlefield community.

I'm not joking at all. Of course not. Battlefield 2 is a much more detailed, tactical, and enjoyable Battlefield, with much larger maps, more kits, more vehicles, and more expansive team and squad controls. And Battlefield 4 does everything Bf3 does and far more, and even has 80% of the Bf3 maps that are still played - and has a large player base available to play them with.

Battlefield 3 is a heavily consolized and casualized Battlefield. Battlefield 2 is a pure PC-oriented Battlefield game and is the most detailed Battlefield game that's been made so far. That's why even today Battlefield 2's daily player count is more than 3x Battlefield 3's.

Battlefield 3 was a huge let-down for the Battlefield community, as it featured small (by classic Battlefield standards) and simple maps, an awful colour filter, clunky air vehicle controls, a focus on more ADD-style gameplay, and had other issues. The release maps were very underwhelming, and the Back to Karkand expansion pack maps were extremely downgraded and shrunk versions of the Battlefield 2 maps they were based on. The Battlefield community didn't love Bf3 when it released, and didn't really come to love it over time. This retrospective happening in this video and comments thread is history revision. Bf3 was perceived as the worst Battlefield game in the series when it launched, and today is really the 2nd-worst, after Bf1.

BATTLEFIELD 3 was my gateway game to Battlefield. I liked the previous games -- but BF3 blew me away. In my opinion, it is still the pinnacle of the entire franchise. I loved almost everything about it. It wasn't "dumb run and gun" like CoD. It wasn't simulation like Arma. However, it was the perfect middle for a military FPS game.

[@antrax2114]

[@penntano]

I've watched this video several times in the last few months to help build my hype for the next title in the series. You absolutely nailed what made the BF3 launch so special and I was really hopeful Battlefield 2021 could try and come close. I'm sad to report at this time, the marketing team has not learnt shit from BFV and struggle to build hype like they once did.

[@Shepard_AU]

There was something about the Battlefield 3 soundtrack that just makes me love it even more. Some of the best gaming moments I had came from BF3, regardless of its rough start.

[@flatbg1]

At least 90% of my favorite gameplay moments come from BF3. I need a time machine...

[@WhiteHawk_95]

Because of you stupid metro-kiddos BF became cod-like game. Get a life and go and play CoD...

[@wanderingbufoon]

Alex The Hawk stfu, bfbc2 2-3 hr rush games were the best. Were talking about bf3 and metro maps were the most played because of its tactical choke points. Also beta testing. "CoD" bet youre one of those people whod have your teammated jerry rig the humvee with bombs and screw around or rigging up the jets so that you can blow it up right when your teammate is about to jump in.

[@WhiteHawk_95]

Yeah, I used to c4-troll teammies on spawn until they fixed it on the third title update lol What's tactical in Metro? 3-lane primitive bullet spraying? Hey, listen, I also played metro sometimes and I actually used backstab tactics with reckon stealth spawn etc. but it was just for fun to make fun of stupid metro-camper-kiddos. Any regular outdoors BF3 map - has much more tactics than 3-lane infantry-only pathetic gameplay. Metro IS fun, I agree. But I really hate admitting it as a main and best map in BF3...

[@rps215]

I got the Ps3 with Battlefield included for Christmas 2011. Such a fond Christmas memory

[@dave93x]

I was a Fencing Apprentice and on my way home in town before getting on the bus I'd see a billboard with something called Battlefield 3 on it. I hadn't touched an FPS since Medal of Honor on PS1 and was not aware of the previous BF games. I avoided the genre because of how everyone loved CoD, I just put it off. I remember being that sniper on the ship's lookout on Kharg Island. I just thought it was so cool how I could see all this shit happening on Rush. I'd try to pick people off and all that. The realism was unlike anything I'd experienced and I got my penis punched in for a good while but I picked it back up again each day and eventually got really good. The campaign was gritty and I really did enjoy it. The whole thing just takes me back to being worn out walking to the town centre in the rain to get the bus back and getting home to play BF3 before going to bed. Same with the original GTA V trailer. I rushed home in the rain, sat down and watched it while eating and still soaking wet through. I fucking cherish those memories. Games don't really do that for me anymore, or haven't for a while. I poured 800 hours into BF3 and met my first online gaming buddies. I so hope they remaster it. I'm still a console pleb and there hasn't been anything since, other than Siege, that I love. BF3 is one of my favourite games ever.

[@Ozzianman]

BF3 campaign gritty? What?

[@jollyjumper1767]

DaveKraft400 holy shit your comment got me. I could really feel your emotions as you were telling your story. Have a great day.

[@Wolfie_2045]

Before 2011 I was heavy on watching KZbin since I didn’t have a console. I was always watching video game videos to keep up to date on games. On Christmas 2011 my mom got me the new Xbox 360 slim, with BF3 back to Karkand edition. On that morning I hooked it up to the big tv and instantly started playing the campaign. I will never forget the amazing feeling of the game it presented. BF3 is my absolute favorite battlefield to this day!! Amazing times! It deserves more recognition and deserves a remaster. Incredible game!

[@johnniewalker2415]

[@VertietRyper]

DeTooR94 by making a CoD spinoff? Yeah, the settings may be back at their roots but the gameplay has progressed from a slower paced standoff to an assault class rally sprinting around with SMGs. Don't even try to make a comeback, since that's exactly what BF1 turned into for most the maps

[@skyroads-ob2gn]

@Robs Battlefield 1 did flop. It sold like 15 million copies, but had the shortest player-retention rate of any Battlefield game. Simply put, people didn't like Battlefield 1. And Battlefield 1 wasn't going back to DICE's roots, because DICE's roots include more classes, bigger maps, and all the detail and complexity of Bf2, which isn't present in Bf1.

Bf3 was my first experience with online first-person shooter. I lived in australia back then. The community wasn’t as big as in north america but it was still great and you’d always run into the same players every time you played. Spent around 1,000-1,100 hours playing it over the course of 1-2 years i guess. Those were unforgettable gaming moments. And i’d always get compliments for my helicopter skills.

[@AnonEMus-cp2mn]

BF3 had the best maps, the best weapons, the best gunplay, and the best DLCs. I understand BF4 had a lot of fun features but for me it always felt like it was missing _something_ in those areas.
