Be advised: You are now entering the Battlefield 3 page.Battlefield 3 is the sequel to the 2005 game Battlefield 2. Despite being the third numbered game in the series, and not fitting into the same timeline as any other game in the series, it is the 11th installment in the overall Battlefield franchise. It was released on October 25, 2011.It is a First-Person Shooter with a heavy emphasis on multiplayer action and the use of all types of combat vehicles including tanks, jets and helicopters, as well as improving on the infantry experience of its predecessors. It has deep persistence using the Battlelog internet server browser and game manager. Despite the emphasis being on the multiplayer, it also includes a 3 to 5 hours long single-player storyline campaign, set in 2014. It involves a new faction taking power in Iran and weaves an international story through a series of flashbacks based on the recollections of Staff Sergeant Henry "Black" Blackburn, a US Marine. He is trying to stop an attack on New York City, but locations involve Iraq, Iran and Paris, among others. It also includes a Co-Op game mode.It was released on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, although as the console hardware had become long in the tooth, with PC being the lead platform. Its multiplayer has the ability to have 64 players in a server, while the console versions only supports 24.Another sequel, Battlefield 4, was released on all major consoles and PC in October 2013.

 Battlefield 3 (Video Game) / int_10b6b5f7
comment
Cherry Tapping: Two extremely humiliating ways to die in BF3 are from the Engineer class. The first is their kit supplied blowtorch, since the Engineer would have to get into melee range of his target and keep the flame focused on him for several seconds. The other is the Engineer's gadget the EOD robot, which again has a built in blow-torch. The Assault class can use the defibrillator to kill an enemy. Despite it being in the previous Battlefield games, it's not as well known in this one because you actually have to hold down the fire key now. If you just press it like in the old versions you don't get any kill or damage. So many players try it, get no joy and never bother to try it again. Even worse is a vehicle being destroyed by the repair tool. When targeting a friendly (or unoccupied) vehicle, the torch repairs. When targeting a hostile vehicle, you slowly remove health at around 5% a second. Bonus points if, in an attempt to stop you, the crew bails out... only for you to get in and drive off. Corridor Digital demonstrates. In order to unlock the Back to Karkand and Close Quarters Engineer carbines (the G53, the QBZ-95 and the MTAR-21) you are explicitly required to do these.

comment
The Artifact: Squad Leaders were important in previous Battlefield games because they were the only members of your squad you could spawn on, and they had a unique commo-rose to ask the Commander for orders or requests. Given the absence of Commander and the fact that you can spawn on anyone in your squad in Battlefield 3, a Squad Leader is no different than a regular squad member, aside from a star next to their name and the ability to tell their squad to attack or defend one objective.

Instant Expert
 Battlefield 3 (Video Game) / int_13f7da6
comment
As of March 2012, one can pay money to instantly unlock all class specific weapons and upgrades for vehicles. Having access to all equipment from the start doesn't make new players Instant Experts though, and since most guns within a class have the same damage values (with a few exceptions such as the G3A3 and the SCAR-H), they do not offer any significant advantage over the starter firearms. It's more of an option for players that want to avoid grinding. The interesting part is that the all unlock purchase is more expensive than the cost of a single DLC, since it instantly unlocks at least 119 new guns for use. Also somewhat counts as Anti-Frustration Features, since the Co-op Weapon Pack is advertised as allowing people who don't have anyone to play co-op with to use the weapons unlocked through co-op play.

Poor Communication Kills
 Battlefield 3 (Video Game) / int_1c445e86
comment
Poor Communication Kills: If the Russians had actually told the Americans why the hell they wanted Kaffarov so bad, many of the events of the game could have been avoided. In their defense, Cole is a freakin' idiot. Of course, why they didn't just warn the French authorities beforehand and save themselves a load of trouble and ammo is another issue altogether. It's also stated that the suitcase nukes are Russian designed, and implied that the Russians don't have the best international reputation at that point. It's possible that they did try to warn the French, and were completely rebuffed.

This gets mostly subverted in Aftermath. All the classes have alternate appearances, and most of the classes with previously covered faces are now exposed. Both Recons still have covered faces, though. Humorously, the US Recon dons a pair of Cool Shades, which actually further covers his face.

Anti-Air: Several kinds. The Igla and the Stinger missiles can be carried by Engineers; on maps with air vehicles, anti air cannons are mounted near the spawns (the C-RAM and the Tunguska for the US and Russian teams, respectively) air vehicles also have heatseeking missiles, and finally, Anti-Air Tanks function as moving versions of the base cannons.

Regenerating Health
 Battlefield 3 (Video Game) / int_1f92e4c6
comment
Regenerating Health: Much to the chagrin of older Battlefield fans. It heals at a slow rate of 5HP/second and it takes a long time to kick in (at least twelve seconds). However, suppressive fire will reset the timer and stop any healing in progress, and it is completely removed in hardcore, alongside a server option to disable it in non-hardcore modes. Medkits heal at a speedy 10HP/second and force regenerating health to kick in for players within their effective range immediately, regardless of suppression. Vehicles have regenerating health as well. However, vehicles below 50% health (35% for transport helicopters, CAS jets and AMTRAC) will become disabled, catch on fire and receive a penalty to movement and control (MBTs and IFVs can barely move, jeeps and armored cars stop dead in their tracks, helicopters lose much of their yaw, pitch and climb capabilities and jets go into a barely controllable spin). At this point vehicle health will keep bleeding out unless repaired back up to 100%.

Faceless Goons: All the RU soldiers wear face concealing headgears. The assault and support wear balaclava and helmet, which completely cover their faces, the assault wears goggles as well, and only the support's eyes and mouth are visible. The engineers are Gas Mask Mooks while the recon wears a balaclava and scarf which almost completely cover his face. The US recon as well. This gets mostly subverted in Aftermath. All the classes have alternate appearances, and most of the classes with previously covered faces are now exposed. Both Recons still have covered faces, though. Humorously, the US Recon dons a pair of Cool Shades, which actually further covers his face.

Apathetic Citizens: While Blackburn is having final confrontation with Solomon in Times Square, a crowd of civilians gathers to watch while you struggle to kill the bastard. None of them step in to do something, and if you fail the QTE, Solomon will set off a Nuclear Device and kill them all. It probably doesn't help that Blackburn doesn't call for assistance at any point during the fight.

Ascended Glitch
 Battlefield 3 (Video Game) / int_26ba32a3
comment
Ascended Glitch: Every mention of sound going out? That's actually a glitch that occurs when too much stuff around you is making noise. The game can't keep up and causes other sounds to go out, such as the ambiance, engine sounds, footsteps, and such. But, it has come to be accepted as Shell-Shock Silence. This glitch is probably mistaken for a feature of Frostbite, called HDR Audio. Basically, if you have a lot of loud sounds going on, it will drown out quieter sounds. The sounds mentioned in the above? If explosions and gun shots are going off next to you, you can't actually hear them anyway (gun shots are really freaking loud) and this may be a case of Reality Is Unrealistic.

Easter Egg: Loads. Operation Metro has two usable photo booths. They only give off a bright flash every time you press the button though, no photos. Operation Metro also has a sandcastle with the Swedish and Norwegian flags on it, the same castle found in Bad Company 2 and 1943. A top-secret document found in the Airfield point on Wake Island mentions there are five or six dinosaur figurines scattered throughout the island, and there are indeed six of them to be found. The document also mentions, "The General promised cake!" On some locations on Strike at Karkand and Sharqi Peninsula, you might hear the MEC Theme (the Battlefield 2 loading screen music for Middle Eastern maps) playing from a room or a radio. Operation 925 has a coffee maker with a pressure gauge reading of "OVER 9000!" Donya Fortress has a scaled model of SSV Normandy from another EA title Mass Effect.

Awesome, but Impractical: The EOD Bot is capable of remotely repairing/destroying vehicles, removing explosives, arming M-COM stations and with team-work can be catapulted with C4 clear across the map without being killed, but is hampered by touchy controls, a conspicuous spotting icon, loud operating noise and the operator being totally vulnerable to anyone who comes near him while using it. The M60 machine gun. It's arguably one of the most intimidating weapons due to the suppression and heavy damage shared by most of the light machine guns. However, it's hampered by horrible accuracy unless proned, makes an easily identifiable noise when firing, and blocks around 25% of the lower portion of the user's view. Not to mention the painfully slow reload time.

The Jet guided missile unlock is based on the Maverick missile, which is capable of destroying any tank it hits, but in game it has the same stats as a Javelin, is stupidly inaccurate unless you maintain the lock, and leaves you as a sitting duck to any other jets out there. But it makes a REALLY big explosion.

Kick The Son Of A Bitch: So, that interrogator who was being a total and complete ass to Blackburn the entire game, who was all but accusing him of treason repeatedly, insulting him at every turn, and generally just being a total prick? In the final mission, you get to break his kneecap and then repeatedly slam his head into the table, in full, glorious up-close first person view. And lo, it was satisfying.

 Battlefield 3 (Video Game) / int_33287e20
comment
One Bullet Clips: Barring the Bad Company spinoffs, it's notable that this is the first main entry in the series to implement this instead of the traditional magazine count, changed only to follow a Call of Duty-style need to load a round into the chamber if you're reloading from empty (prior games either always had a Dramatic Gun Cock on reloading or, in Bad Company 2's case, ignored the question entirely). Unlike most games however, Battlefield 3 actually keeps track of whether or not there's a round in the chamber, meaning reloading from empty will net you only, say, 30 rounds instead of 31 and take longer due to the character chambering a round.

Rule of Cool: Killing someone with the knife from behind will also have your character take off their target's dog tag with the knife in the same motion of pulling the knife out as well. Because... it looks cool. Possibly the justification for the US Recon, as he never actually wears the goggles he has.

Vehicles have regenerating health as well. However, vehicles below 50% health (35% for transport helicopters, CAS jets and AMTRAC) will become disabled, catch on fire and receive a penalty to movement and control (MBTs and IFVs can barely move, jeeps and armored cars stop dead in their tracks, helicopters lose much of their yaw, pitch and climb capabilities and jets go into a barely controllable spin). At this point vehicle health will keep bleeding out unless repaired back up to 100%.

PVP Balanced
 Battlefield 3 (Video Game) / int_4001334d
comment
PVP Balanced: The game continues the tradition of rockets doing very little splash damage to infantry. They're stated by the hints to be anti-tank rockets. Helmets, goggles, and armor have no effect, and everyone has 100 heath points with a 0.9x multiplier to the legs and a 2x multiplier to the head, except in hardcore, where everyone has 60 health with the same multipliers. With the exception of the G3A3 (unlocked through co-op), every assault rifle deals the same damage (25 maximum to 17 minimum) per shot and has the same ammo capacity of 30+1 rounds, so reload times, recoil/spread and rate of fire tend to be the big differentiators. Likewise, semi auto sniper rifles all deal the same damage (50 max to 34 minimum), bolt-action rifles except the M98B deal the same damage (75 max to 55 minimum), and all except the M98B have the same ammo capacities. The G3 Battle Rifle and the Scar-H carbine are balanced by their natural statistics compared to the other assault rifles. They get better damage than the other assault rifles because they both use the 7.62 cartridge as opposed to the 5.56 that all the other rifles uses, but like reality, they only have 20 rounds available. By sticking a foregrip, scope (anything from a 3.4x, 4x ACOG up to a 8x ballistic sight) heavy barrel you can turn either into a semi-automatic marksman rifle at the cost of suffering several drawbacks in close combat. A newcomer from the Close Quarters DLC, the ACW-R (Better known as Masada or ACR) for the Engineer fires 6.5x38mm cartridge dealing 20 max and 17 min damage as opposed to 25 and 14 respectively dealt by other carbines. It's balanced out with a 26-round magazine instead of the regular 30. The MP7 doesn't have a foregrip attachment as it would make the already amazing close combat ability even better. That and the base gun already has a hinged foregrip.

On the other hand, when the Iranian bandits engage you, you don't hear the reports of their cannons until noticeably after the bullets have already hit you.

Bribing Your Way to Victory
 Battlefield 3 (Video Game) / int_5c17c12f
comment
Bribing Your Way to Victory: The Physical Warfare pre-order bonuses were a minor example of this at release, with a handful of items being released for early use by players. It took a concerted campaign against the game for it to be 'clarified' by EA that those items were not going to be locked out for people who didn't pre-order or use a pre-order location with the Physical Warfare pack. Many players were not amused, until the entire pack was made available to everyone for free, except for the Type 88 LMG, which would not be made available for other players until Back to Karkand was released. It was somewhat mitigated for a time (before the entire pack's release) by the December 6th patch changes, after which it wasn't much better if at all than other LMGs unlocked through normal gameplay. As of March 2012, one can pay money to instantly unlock all class specific weapons and upgrades for vehicles. Having access to all equipment from the start doesn't make new players Instant Experts though, and since most guns within a class have the same damage values (with a few exceptions such as the G3A3 and the SCAR-H), they do not offer any significant advantage over the starter firearms. It's more of an option for players that want to avoid grinding. The interesting part is that the all unlock purchase is more expensive than the cost of a single DLC, since it instantly unlocks at least 119 new guns for use. Also somewhat counts as Anti-Frustration Features, since the Co-op Weapon Pack is advertised as allowing people who don't have anyone to play co-op with to use the weapons unlocked through co-op play. The Premium edition comes with a multiplayer head start pack, instantly unlocking the first three weapons and gadgets for every kit and the ability to launch heat-seeking missiles from air vehicles for new players who purchase it.

comment
Interface Screw: The aforementioned Laser Sight and Flashlight when shined in your eyes. The suppressive fire mechanic reduces accuracy and blurs the game to represent the distraction that incoming fire causes. Killing someone who is suffering from suppression effects gives bonus points to the suppressor. When you're hit with a stealth kill from a knife, your viewpoint will be violently turned around, and you'll see the face of the guy stabbing you and taking your dogtags, before letting you fall to the ground. It can be incredibly jarring. Sometimes, after a large amount of nonlethal explosions near your soldier, he may become briefly shell shocked, tuning out most sounds (except for any sounds that actually come from him). Shell-Shock Silence may also happen because of a glitch in the sound.

And Your Reward Is Clothes
 Battlefield 3 (Video Game) / int_6ac6a56a
comment
And Your Reward Is Clothes: While most of the time you get your rewards in items or new abilities when leveling up, at certain levels you are instead given more custom uniforms. The uniforms are useful, sometimes, if you can match the camouflage to the map type. The Spec Ops Black uniform is a dual purpose camouflage. It will help hide the player in dark, shadowed areas and hides the player from thermal vision used by vehicles and the IRNV sight.

Non-Uniform Uniform: Both sides, especially with the amount of customizations available.

Artistic License – Military: Iran is shown having a large number of Su-35BM Flanker-E's in the mission "Going Hunting". In real life however, the Iranian army famously wields a large range of older American fighters like the F-14. They have little to no Su-35BM Flanker-E's in their inventory, instead having different russian and indigenous jets in real life. Subverted with the Iranian Arsenal ingame, where it shows accurate tanks (Being upgraded Soviet tanks) and weaponry for the PLR and the Iranian Army.

Slap-on-the-Wrist Nuke
 Battlefield 3 (Video Game) / int_765a84eb
comment
Slap-on-the-Wrist Nuke: The FGM-148 Javelin, capable of doing significant damage against any tank in reality, requires two or three hits against MBTs in the game (unless the target is laser designated). The Jet guided missile unlock is based on the Maverick missile, which is capable of destroying any tank it hits, but in game it has the same stats as a Javelin, is stupidly inaccurate unless you maintain the lock, and leaves you as a sitting duck to any other jets out there. But it makes a REALLY big explosion.

 Battlefield 3 (Video Game) / int_7c0bfb83

Conveniently, they seem to ignore that, A) said commanding officer's stupidity got his entire company wiped out and probably caused a major international incident, B) that Blackburn has a witness who can back up his claims, who they only bring in at the last minute and ask ONE incredibly biased question, and C) Solomon is so Obviously Evil that it's amazing they haven't walked in on him biting the head off of a puppy and still take everything he says at face-value. Despite having seen video evidence of him murdering an American soldier in cold blood, they never so much as bring him in for a psych evaluation and act as if he can do no wrong. Plus given how absolutely serious the CIA takes mole and leak accusations in real life, there is no excuse for this kind of stupidity. For B, it is all but stated in the final mission's opening scene that the CIA has written Sgt. Miller off as one of the "sacrifices" that must be made, presumably believing that Solomon partook in Miller's execution in a ploy to make himself look good in Al-Bashir's eye.

How We Got Here: The starting mission, "Semper Fidelis," starts near the end of the game, and the interrogation itself is set before the final level, "The Great Destroyer," slightly before the start.

What Happened to the Mouse?: Jack Chaffin, a Mauve Shirt from the first level, is injured by a sniper; after he's evacuated, we never see him again. Despite having multiplayer maps which are centered around their singleplayer counterparts, the PLR is never shown as a playable faction, with only the russians being shown (Though this is probably due to time constraints).

Zig-zagged with the knife. Using the knife behind an enemy will kill him instantly (as well as give you his dog tags), but using it in front of an enemy requires two slashes to finish him off.

Five-Man Band: The multiplayer is set up to have five distinct roles that play into a dynamic. The assault is the main infantry unit of the game, the Engineer chooses to focus on maintaining, controlling, and destroying vehicles, the Recon has the ability to spot, place beacons, and set up sensors to gather information, the Support has ammo packs and some of the heavier ordinance, and the announcer co-ordinates the team from afar without actually doing anything. How it actually plays out is entirely up to the players, as many choose instead to disregard their roles.

Tech-Demo Game: Battlefield 3 doesn't support DirectX 9, hence it can't run on Windows XP. It was one of the first applications to have a real impact in driving people to upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7. The console versions have 4 rows of pixels on the top and bottom of the screen blacked out to speed up performance while maintaining graphical fidelity, since you mostly won't notice the blacked-out rows anyway. One of the goals of the game's development was to show off the ability of the newly developed Frostbite 2 engine, which featured a number of impressive rendering feats including photorealistic lighting which created graphics which, by the standards of 2011, were way ahead of anything else at the time save for the Crysis series.

Lens Flare: The singleplayer has some lights in the night missions. Multiplayer has some really bad ones though. Trying to assault the TV Tower on the Sharqi Peninsula map can be an exercise in frustration as you get cut down by people you simply can't see properly because of the massive lens flare that comes directly from behind the building.

One-Hit Kill
 Battlefield 3 (Video Game) / int_a414c3f0
comment
One-Hit Kill: Zig-zagged with the knife. Using the knife behind an enemy will kill him instantly (as well as give you his dog tags), but using it in front of an enemy requires two slashes to finish him off. May lead to Damn You, Muscle Memory! moments when you've been playing other shooters where the knife is an instant kill from any angle. Bolt-action sniper rifle headshots are these at any range, while semiauto sniper rifle headshots are only one-hit kills within their "max damage" range before damage dropoff begins. Shotguns are one-hit kills at close range and can get headshot one hit kills at longer ranges. Getting hit by any fast-moving vehicle, whether it's light AT Vs, helicopters, tanks, or even MAVs or EOD bots, results in this.

Revenue-Enhancing Devices: In the March 2012 patch, DICE rolled out the Rent-a-Server plan, allowing Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 players to customize their own personal server like PC players. The "revenue enhancing" part comes in when players, tired of custom settings and abusive server admins, try finding vanilla DICE servers, only to find out that EA phased nearly all of them out.

Oh, Crap!: The Marines' reaction when they realize they're not fighting PLR soldiers, but Russian paratroopers.

Too Dumb to Live
 Battlefield 3 (Video Game) / int_b58b4e3c
comment
Too Dumb to Live: A hasty engineer feels like this the first time he goes to repair a tank in the heat of battle and accidentally selects the RPG instead of the repair tool. Alternatively, a medic sees a tank, and, thinking that he is an engineer, presses the button that would equip the RPG. Instead, he throws a first aid kit at the tank. Learning how to fly is a hard process, which usually involves accidentally ramming your jet into the enemy, ignoring actually experienced enemy jet pilots, flying too close to the enemy base and getting shot with AA cannons, accidentally using missile-repelling Flares while trying to shoot, ignoring the incessant beeping that warns of being locked on, crashing into other jets on the runway - there's a lot of things to learn before being a decent pilot.

Ink-Suit Actor: One of the government agents that investigates Blackburn is a spitting image of voice actor Glenn Morshower. The same thing is true of Blackburn, who looks like Gideon Emery with shorter hair. All major characters are based on their voice actors. The exception is Dima; his character model is based on Oleg Taktarov of Predators fame, but he's actually voiced by André Sogliuzzo.

 Battlefield 3 (Video Game) / int_bcf69f60
comment
Short-Range Shotgun: Generally averted, at least in comparison to most FPS games, especially if you have flechette rounds, and outright inverted with shotguns equipped with slug rounds if you compensate for bullet drop. Pellets do still dissipate after a set distance, but rather than the ten feet of most other contemporary games it's closer to 300 meters. Slugs extend that to 1500. Equipping a gun like the 870MCS with slugs and a 6x rifle scope can be used as a makeshift sniper rifle for any class.

The Neidermeyer: Captain Cole has shades of this, with his willingness to stubbornly sacrifice his men to complete the mission, even when it's clear the situation is out of hand. The reason Montes is pissed? Because Cole is leading his company of Marines (about 100-150) across an open field with only APC support and no air cover, against Russian paratroopers, who are airdropping a small battalion (~300 soldiers) supported by light vehicles and close air support. It's crazy and, unsurprisingly, leads to the entire company being wiped out, save the player and three others. Not to mention that open unprovoked assault on the Russians will, as Montes points out, inevitably and predictably result in war between the US and Russia. All because one captain can't exercise discretion.

America Saves the Day: Averted. The US military is not the only group involved in battling against the PLR. Russian GRU Spetsnaz commandos are also involved in trying to stop Solomon from bombing Paris with a nuke. The French get the Gendarmerie Nationale involved after the PLR attacks the Euronext's Paris branch. Although you could argue that thanks to Cole's infinite wisdom, that the American forces only make the situation worse.

Since they just so happen to be there, and the arms dealer in question is Russian, he instantly assumes the entire Russian Army is in cahoots with them and orders his squad to attack them on sight. It goes as well as you would expect.

Cassandra Truth: The CIA doesn't believe Blackburn's story, since he allegedly killed his commanding officer and that Solomon is a CIA informant. Conveniently, they seem to ignore that, A) said commanding officer's stupidity got his entire company wiped out and probably caused a major international incident, B) that Blackburn has a witness who can back up his claims, who they only bring in at the last minute and ask ONE incredibly biased question, and C) Solomon is so Obviously Evil that it's amazing they haven't walked in on him biting the head off of a puppy and still take everything he says at face-value. Despite having seen video evidence of him murdering an American soldier in cold blood, they never so much as bring him in for a psych evaluation and act as if he can do no wrong. Plus given how absolutely serious the CIA takes mole and leak accusations in real life, there is no excuse for this kind of stupidity. For B, it is all but stated in the final mission's opening scene that the CIA has written Sgt. Miller off as one of the "sacrifices" that must be made, presumably believing that Solomon partook in Miller's execution in a ploy to make himself look good in Al-Bashir's eye.

Quick Melee: There is the standard version of it, the "press the button and stab with one motion", though with the caveat that if you hold the button down you can equip the knife as a separate weapon. It's done in a different manner than usual, however: it only deals 50% damage normally, requiring at least two swipes to kill someone. However, if the player does it from behind their victim, they will perform a takedown move instead, in which they stab the victim for an instant kill and steal their dogtags.

Just a Stupid Accent: The Russian Team. You will sometimes hear spoken Russian though.

Shoot the Medic First: While not all Assault players have medkits, all of them have defibrillators. A single Assault player can easily revive all the enemies you took out once you've been put down. Tanks or IFVs with an Engineer buddy are an absolute nightmare to take down with RPGs. Take out the Engineer as soon as he pops out when the vehicle is disabled, else you'll soon find yourself out of rockets and still having to deal with an angry enemy vehicle.

 Battlefield 3 (Video Game) / int_e6661fc2
comment
Press X to Not Die: Loads of it. If you miss, the enemy will stab you or shoot you dead. There's even a QTE sequence against a rat! If you fail that QTE, you get bitten, and make enough noise to attract a PLR trooper who blows you away. While dying you also flip off the rat. Smashing Survival: Only 3 times in the campaign thankfully (the two are actually the same place where you have to climb the maintenance ladder on a moving train), but the last one is a subversion where you beat the hell out of the Big Bad's head with a brick.

Mildly Military: Slightly subverted and averted with the PLR, during Operation Swordbreaker they're shown wearing standard insurgent garb with Iranian equipment, implying their non-arab origin. However, by the time of the Earthquake, they're shown fully dressed in uniform as a regular army when engaging the US marines.

Checkpoint Starvation: The checkpoints are few and far between, and some of them are set before a scripted event, so you have to redo the entire scripted event and/or slaughter entire armies again to gain back progress because of one stray RPG or a lucky bullet.

Learning how to fly is a hard process, which usually involves accidentally ramming your jet into the enemy, ignoring actually experienced enemy jet pilots, flying too close to the enemy base and getting shot with AA cannons, accidentally using missile-repelling Flares while trying to shoot, ignoring the incessant beeping that warns of being locked on, crashing into other jets on the runway - there's a lot of things to learn before being a decent pilot.

Stone Wall
 Battlefield 3 (Video Game) / int_f62cc38a
comment
Stone Wall: The AAV7A1 AMTRAC, found only on Rush maps with US attackers. The movement speed is the slowest in the game but it has absolutely insane durability and the grenade launchers could be considered overpowered. Due to it's insane survivability it will destroy any other vehicle, including main battle tanks in a toe to toe fight as long as it can keep putting grenade shots into the opponent. It is the only vehicle in the game capable of surviving five packs of C4 detonated at once. It also makes no sense whatsoever when compared to reality. The real life AMTRAC has only 45mm of armour. The M1 Abrams has over 600mm armour.

Laser Sight: One of the many Gun Porn accessories. It's beneficial in that it reduces hip-fire spread, but pretty much says "I'm right here". Woe to the Recon who forgets to turn his laser off before starting a sniping session.

comment
Cruelty Is the Only Option: When Blackburn meets Dima, you have to kill the friendly soldier that discovers the two of you in order to continue. Granted, the said "friendly soldier" is The Neidermeyer who has just got the majority of your comrades killed and all-but-certainly kickstarted World War III in a desperate bid for a promotion, and if you don't shoot him he shoots you, but still...

Shown Their Work: Well, whoever worked on this piece of artwork for Battlefield 3 apparently did, considering what off-duty soldiers found in it. For a ridiculously rare and futuristically complex gun, the game got the reload for the Pancor Jackhammer ("MK3A1") correct. A full description of the reload can be found on IMFDB.

Perpetual Beta: DICE never truly locked down a solid bug free version of the game with exploits and glitches removed. For every problem their patches fixed, a new problem sprung up in its place, such as the much-hated M26 Dart exploit in one patch, followed by the Smoke bug. Even elements of the game that didn't need fixing were broken with the patches; Alan Kertz, the Senior Gameplay Designer at DICE, admits that he wanted to tweak the Suppression mechanic until it's ideal, which is why suppression went from a minor annoyance to outrageously bad after the March 2012 patch. The game is no longer being patched, and there still exists glitches and exploits like the ability to get into what should be inaccessible parts of the buildings at the Cafe flag of Operation Metro.
