Battlefield 3

The campaign takes place in a not-too-distant future of 2014, with players taking on the role of Staff sergeant Henry Blackburn and his squad. The story is presented as a series of flashbacks, as Blackburn recounts his encounter with the PLR - a dangerous terrorist organization after being interrogated about knowledge of an attack on New York.

The multiplayer suite includes Conquest, Rush, Team Deathmatch, and Squad-based variations of these modes, each with its own unique gameplay. The game features multiple classes, including Assault, Support, Engineer, and Recon, which can unlock new gadgets and specializations as well as vehicle upgrades.

Console editions of the game support smaller maps and fewer players compared to the PC version, with a maximum of 24 players online in Console iterations. The PC version requires Windows Vista or Windows 7 and DirectX 10 or 11 to run.
