![]() ![]() It’s the Recon class which is the biggest recipient of changes. The Support class’ offensive capabilities have been expanded, now offering the deadly M224 portable mortar, making light work of taking out campers and suppressing a group of players.īattlefield 3’s Engineer class has remained largely untouched, still being the main anti-vehicle class, but now also provided with an anti-air missile launcher, making aircraft part of their fodder. The Support class comes with an LMG (Light Machine Gun), with the role to provide ammunition for team members and generally lay down suppressive fire (more on this later). Assault also doubles as medics, making them a very powerful instrument for combat. These are the guys on the front lines charging in with powerful assault rifles to clean up a room. The Assault class is, as the name suggests, your main “get in there and shoot” class. The result is certainly some of the best multiplayer action ever experienced online, with the PC version supporting up to 64 players simultaneously. Just four were present - Assault, Support, Engineer and Recon, which made BF2142 a well balanced experience.īF3 takes the best from BF2, including excellent maps accommodating different playing styles, a large array of vehicles including jets, and combines it with the limited player classes from BF2142. ![]() Luckily they also scaled down on the amount of classes.

But if your interest is in a most-excellent multiplayer experience that will suck away most of your free-time, well step right this way gentlemen. Let’s get it out of the way then – if you are looking for a hang-on-tight rollercoaster of a single-player campaign, you can do better than BF3. While previous incarnations have been well received, there has been some critique levelled against the single-player campaign, while multi-player also had a few niggles. As one of the big first person shooter franchises out there, Battlefield 3 (BF3) has a lot to prove, especially with a certain Modern Warfare 3 also aiming at the lucrative Xmas market. ![]()
