Find the answer by following our trip when exploring Battlefield 3!
Origin and Battlelog
Battlefield 3 is a game that has a high dependence on the Internet. If you want to gain experience of actually playing this game, the multiplayer mode is an option that you should play. Unfortunately, this game requires you to have an Internet connection to play its multiplayer mode. Well, dealing with this topic, then you will be familiar with the two portals game from Electronic Arts as the publisher of this game, the Origin and Battlelog.
Origin is an online marketplace program from Electronic Arts (like Steam) should you install to the computer to start the installation of Battlefield 3. This installation is in our opinion is the process long enough for gamers who have a slow Internet connection. Because, you must update Origins by downloading them automatically. After that, the installation of a new game begins. Then you must download the patch issued on the first day this game was released at about 400 MB. After that you re-download the latest patch Battlelog which fortunately is not too large in size.
Battlelog itself is the main media you to do anything related to Battlefield 3. This gaming portal will appear immediately once you run this game through the Origin. Battlelog form of web pages that contain the profiles, statistics, choice of modes of play, and the media to communicate with other players from around the world. This page was unfortunately not to be missed, even to play the Campaign mode (single player) though. So, you must have an Internet connection to play alone!
Campaign Mode
Are all the difficulties you encounter when the installation is paid by the pleasure of playing Battlefield 3? Yes, all was not in vain! Form of the game adopted the military shooter similar to previous Battlefield series, which is Battlefield 2. You can use various vehicles of war, to give contextual orders easily, and the concept of a class of soldiers who support each other. However, the most stunning is the quality of the graphics are incredibly beautiful and the game environment can be destroyed.
Battlefield 3 offers three modes of play, the campaign mode (single player), multiplayer, and the mode of cooperation. Of all these modes, which we think is the most normal campaign mode. Why is that? Stories are offered in this mode is less able to play with different players feeling surprise that left a lasting impression. In fact, the concept of a tense and exciting story is the main prescription of the single player mode. The duration of the mode in also not very long, which is about 5 to 6 hours.
Campaign mode does not meet the expectations of the story. So is the battle that did not feel a mass. You will be taken to follow a linear game and filled with events that have been planned in areas that are relatively small. Form of the game is single player mode replaces the previous Battlefield series that always invites players to fight as one army in the great war. Destruction of environment technology also does not look much in this mode. If you want to see it with satisfaction, then you have to play the multiplayer mode.
Multiplayer mode and Cooperation
After going through the campaign mode Battlefield 3 which does not give the impression of depth, we continue to play its multiplayer mode. The difference between these two modes are so far from all sides! In fact, arguably the multiplayer mode is a real game of Battlefield 3! All the features that made the Battlefield series so awaited his presence can be found here. Not only that, Battlefield 3 also provides a variety of interesting features that can not be found in previous series.
Form of the classic game of the Battlefield series you'll meet in this fashion. You can choose one of four army classes, namely Assault, Engineer, Support, and Recon. When viewed more closely, each class has abilities that formerly separated into its own class. For example, the Assault class in addition to being the front line soldiers with lethal weapons also doubles as a medic. So, he can provide the package of treatment to heal other soldiers, brought them back, and at the same time can fire the grenade launcher that can kill many enemies. So is the engineer who used to serve only as a vehicle repair experts. Now, he is equipped with a rocket launcher to destroy tanks and airplanes!
Class Support and Recon also not be underestimated his abilities. Support in addition to carrying a machine gun that can disrupt the enemy ranks could also provide ammunition package (to reload) and bombarding enemy positions with artillery mortar. Distance mortar that fired too big and has the power to destroy the tank though. Lastly, the Recon is an expert in attacking the enemy from a distance. He was armed with a deadly sniper rifle and at the same time has a variety of supporting equipment, such as making the Drop Point The spawn points are useful as a new army. So, you can place it in areas that are not supposed enemies and surprise them from behind. Recon also able to provide radar support to the use of small flying machines with the camera. All he saw the enemy will look at the radar and no enemy can hide anymore!
A variety of classes that you can play in Battlefield 3 also can not stand alone if you want to fight efficiently and achieve victory. Assault class that can maintain itself with the treatment package eventually need help to fill the cartridges and Support Engineer to destroy the Tank. The balance of this game is made in such a way that you will need help from other players. So also with the users a vehicle that has always been a rocket engineer soft food. They require Engineers to repair their vehicles.
Multiplayer mode in Battlefield 3 is divided into several types of games. You can find the Conquest, Rush, Deathmatch, and Cooperation. While the folder that you can use at first consisted of nine pieces. Later you will find more new maps and new weapons in the expansion set "Back to Karkand" which at the time of this review was written has not been released. Well, to get to know more about the multiplayer, we will discuss about all types of games in this mode.
Conquest is a type of game that most gamers are known by lovers of the Battlefield series. Conquest mode has long existed in this series and became one of the identity of the Battlefield games. In this mode, you will fight in areas that are large in mass battle fighting positions. The number of players who can participate in this mode is also quite large, up to 64 players! So, 32 players will battle against 32 players on the opposite side.
At first, each side will be given a ticket with a limited number. This ticket is the number of reinforcements that can be deployed in the field. When a player dies, then when he came back to life (spawn) the number of tickets will be reduced by one. The team that managed to spend the ticket his opponent is the winner of this mode. Position in a folder can also affect the ticket. Each folder is usually given a number of positions that must be mastered and the number is always odd. So, the team that has fewer positions will have a penalty, which is the tickets will be reduced automatically until exhausted. So, Conquest becomes a fun fashion thanks to fierce resistance both teams to master more positions!
Rush has a different concept from the Conquest. In this mode, your position will alternate with the opposing team as a defense and attack. The purpose of this mode is to destroy or retain two positions on the map. The attackers must install a second bomb in this position and defend it until the bomb exploded. While the last team must attempt to keep both positions. To make the game more lively, the attacker could run out of tickets. Thus, the attacker will lose when tickets run out! When the attackers managed to destroy two defensive positions, the last will be hit back and have to maintain two new positions. Tickets also go back into full attack if they succeeded in destroying a position. The defensive team will lose when the last position which is close to its headquarters were destroyed. After that, the position is reversed, the team survived the attack and vice versa.
Squad Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch are fighting a brutal fashion and fun. Your only goal scored by the team finish off the enemy! You do not have to worry about maintaining the area and take it as found in the two previous modes. Map game in this mode is also smaller and this makes the battle become more frequent. Last mode is Cooperation. In this mode, you will invite other players via an Internet connection for the joint fight against computer-controlled enemies. The scenario given in this mode proved to be much more exciting and interesting when compared with the campaign mode! In addition, you can also collect value and it will open a special weapon that can not be obtained in another fashion!
Customization and Armament
The most interesting thing in multiplayer mode is the ability to customize equipment and weapons! Profile that you play will get the experience or the experience that is useful to raise the level. Usefulness of these levels is to open up new weapons and equipment that is very interesting for your character. For a shooter game, weapons are the main magnets that make the players keep playing!
The value of experience is also useful to increase the level of class you are using. If you often play the Assault class, then the level will rise and give gifts of equipment and special weapons class. Supplies are very strong and dangerous as well can only be obtained in this way, such as mortar to support, a tool to revive a dead colleague for Assault, and Javelin tank weapons to Engineer.
The way to get new equipment not only to increase the level of characters. You can also get supplies for a major weapon by raising the level of weapon you use. Simply defeat the enemy by using indicators such weapons and weapon proficiency will increase. Once the indicator is full, you will get new equipment, such as laser pointers, front grip, silencer, scope, and bipod. All that you can plug in such weapons and will directly improve performance. Each main weapon has 10 equipment and the number of weapons are about 41 pieces.
Equipment and increase the level also applies to the type of vehicle that you are using the war. Initially, the vehicle that you are using does not have the equipment that is "wow", like a rocket for helicopters, missile tracking heat for jet aircraft, and machine guns to tanks. All of that should you get by using a vehicle and defeat the enemy when they are in it. After reaching a certain point, you will get new equipment and the same as the main weapon, you can plug in vehicles to benefit against lower level enemies.
Beautiful game environments
Another factor that should not be forgotten is the look and graphic effects Battlefield 3 which is so beautiful! This game was so wonderful to have rain will praise the greatness of the technology looks. This was achieved thanks to Frostbyte 2 game engine used in Battlefield 3. Unlike the other games that usually sets the standard zoom with console XBOX 360 and PS3, Frostbyte 2 is designed to run with high computer specification standards. Therefore, the lowest setting of this game on the computer is so beautiful and comparable to the High setting image in other shooter games.
Display effect of Frostbyte 2 certainly is not only useful for cosmetics only. These engines also make the gaming environment becomes more felt "real" with the ability to destroy the environment. So, when you are dealing with the tanks do not expect to hide behind a wall. The tank wall to shoot enough and he was instantly destroyed, along with your death! In this game, the vehicles pose a terrible war for the infantry. Not only explosion that could kill. You also can die from falling trees!
Another beauty from the side view is the effect of light that resembles the original world. Sparkle of light in dark places can blind your eyes! In fact, this method is used players in multiplayer mode to gain an advantage when fighting at close range. They will put a flashlight on the gun and use it to blind you! However, this luminosity also provide benefits for you. Sniper weapons that can kill you from long distances due to the reflected glow emitting light at the lens scopes! It is very helpful to know where the enemy in the game environment. Moreover, high quality graphics make anyone could easily blend in with its surroundings and they can set up a trap for you!
Graphic quality and high standards of engine Frosbyte 2 proved to have advantages and disadvantages. For gamers who play on a computer with high-specification, this game will not give problems. However, for computers with less high-specification, especially if you do not have a Windows 64-bit and 8 GB of RAM, so do not expect to play comfortably in High and Ultra settings! Fortunately, the Medium setting was so comfortable to play! Another problem with the XBOX 360 console gamers! Be prepared to get under the standard computer display! This remains the case with the use of High Quality Texture package included with game sales.
