Battlefield 3 features the combined arms
battles that made the series popular across single-player, co-operative
and multiplayer modes. It reintroduces several elements absent from the
Bad Company games, including fighter jets, the prone position and 64-player battles on PC.
To accommodate the lower player count on consoles, the ground area is
limited for Xbox 360 and PS3, though fly space remains the same.
During an interview with Game Informer, EA stated that Commander Mode is unlikely to be included, which was met with some criticism on the EA forum. The game features maps set in Paris, Tehran (as well as other locations in Iran), Sulaymaniyah, New York, Wake Island, Oman, Kuwait and other parts of the Persian Gulf. The maps cover urban streets, metropolitan downtown areas, and open landscapes suited to vehicle combat. Battlefield 3 introduces the "Battlelog"; a free cross-platform social service with built-in text messaging, voice communications,
game statistics, and the ability to join games that friends are already
playing (though both players need to be on the same platform).
