[MA5TER_Y0DA]

Battlefield 3 is a game in development by Digital Illusions CE in Sweden and will be published by Electronic Arts. The Battlefield Series has a great many games in it most recently Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142. In the battlefield games you play in a game mode known as Conquest mostly, where two factions fight for control points. The faction that either owns all points and eliminates all enemy forces wins, or the one that controls more points for a longer period of time.

Each faction has multiple classes you can chose from, with each class fulfilling a different function. Maps can be small or rather large and feature beside infantry combat a lot of vehicle combat as well, which includes helicopters, jets, boats, tanks, jeeps and more. Battlefield 3 will be set in a modern day time period (”now” +/- a few years), while other battlefield games range from the far past up to the distant future.
