BF3 was fantastic! My first was actually BF1942, the very first BF game. Way back when we had dial up modems, or we just got adsl, can't quite remember. But that was so immense and truly an extraordinary experience. Coming from the fist doom and Duke nukem games, it changed everything.
my favourite thing about this game is that the DLC's weren't some leftover maps that devs used to get some extra cash by releasing them later, they were all thought out parts of the game that you had to have, every one of them stood out and each added so much to overall experience.....
The sound design in this game still is absolutely unmatched. The snappiness of bullets whizzing around, the patter of gunshots in the distance, even the whoop of a rocket flying by: amazing.
@@dnegel9546 It definitely launched in a much poorer state but I think the work DICE LA did towards the end of its life-cycle like Community maps and CTE and general refining of gameplay put it on a similar level to BF3
0:34 - Looking at that staircase just there, hit me right in the feels man. Reminising of some good memories of Rush on that map and attacking one of the M-Com objectives that used to be within a small building near there, I remember it being mayhem every time on a full server :'-)
@@Kasper-qr3in yea it is. It's annoying tbh, I've met players who can zip around at 5 times speed while everyone else is at like 3, and some players take much longer to kill than others. I suspect there's aimbot too XD But there's still many normal players, but the hackers/cheaters just ruin the experience overall (kinda like a horror game ngl)
Initially it was dubbed as “DICE iS tRyINg tO bE liKe cOd.” But those maps were my favorite. I feel like the fidelity was the highest because they weren’t so big, too.
Timeless classic. A BF3 Remaster and this would again be a game i’d play daily on console. It has one of the best and most fun formulas for replayability in a game.
This game was my first Battlefield game and I loved it so much that I went back and bought some of the prior games and then the ones that came out afterwards. It’s such a fun and enjoyable game to me. A little while later my cousin ending up showing me your channel and I’ve been subscribed ever since.
Best BF ever in my personal and humble opinion, period. Would give anything for a faithful remake of this game with all new and improved mechanics from later BFs...
You dont want a remake they would screw it up like they currently are with the cod remakes. All's it needs is higher frame rate and slightly revamped graphics. But leave the physics alone
@@cjsnidlio9409 agree not a fan of the newer engines if they used 2042’s engine it would just feel like portal , I prefer this engine it was more realistic and it had a gritty feel , just give us this but 60fps and better resolution
This was hands down the best game ever made. I’ll never forget the first time playing strike at Karkand on bf3 the day it released. Brought me back to bf2 nostalgia on such an awesome game
For me it was rush on that map with the highway and its night time i forget the name but i remember getting a headset just for this game and the audio was so amazing to experience, laying out in a field sniping hearing the bugs buzzing and the fellow soldiers just yelling "someone get me the hell out of here!" Or "Im going to fucking die out here" ass to it and it was just amazing
I remember a round of Rush on wake Island. The attacking team and it seemed we all worked together and made our way along the island, is a round i wont ever forget.
It was when I first took someone’s tags in the beta that I knew this was MY game. I remember your bf3 day one video. An absolute beast at this game used to get banned and removed when they introduced rent a server. Ended with the knife being the weapon I had the most kills with. A lot of good memories
This game got me into PC gaming and inspired my build this year. I played this on a laptop and it was still better than any console version. I was hooked
Your fantastic and cinematic BF3 videos back in the day is how I found your channel. I've been a fan ever since and you really helped me fall in love with Battlefield even more back then. Thank you for all the years of content and for just always being here for everyone who loves Battlefield, Jack.
Ah this brings back some great memories. I played BC2 for years after my dad got me into it then I remember this game releasing n being so stoked for all the new expansions when they dropped after getting upgrading to premium. The fact it’s still going strong just speaks for itself
I loved bf3 my favorite game mode was CTF just playing as a engineer using mines in the base to kill enemies and Javelin for bikes was so fun I miss those days.
Awesome video and amazing memories playing this with friends. And those moments when you loose control of the camera once the backstabbing animation starts ... And obviously that c4'jeep iconic! Thank you
Jack Do you know I was watching your channel since Oct 2011 since Battlefield 3 came out, & Still watching your videos, what an amazing long jorney i hope you have a good day always ❤❤
you can just see the love and care that went into the maps and the game in general. It looks soo much more gritty than what they realease nowadays.. you can really see the decline over the years with all the original devs leaving :/
Pc gaming is still quite new for me (about 3 months I think). I've always preferred BF3 over BF4 and so the pc version has been a delight to experience. P. S. I was already good at k&m by the time my gaming pc was build (played pc games on geforce now on xbox); so I've been able to play BF3 and other Bfs on pc pretty well!
still playing on PS3 every week, servers are still running and the community is very competitive now only +1500h players playing, and proud to be one of them, BF3 is an all time classic
Absolute classic. Got a free code for this in 2013 before bf4 came out but couldn't run it for 5 years... This and your warzone videos were my spring 2020 lockdown. 👌
Still my favourite FPS to date. Used to come home from school and play 2/3hrs each night and always have a full squad or 2 of mates on, such a good time
I still play it, and its my main FPS. Quit cs, quit other games and focused on this. Still magic as its release. Love it, hope Ill find you on a server these days :D
I still remember all the hours with friends spent in this game, especially when the close quarters dlc came out. That was such an insane change of pace when it dropped that my friends and I would play for hours on end. Good to see the game is still going strong
This game still looks insane graphically. DICE really did lead the game industry for years in terms of graphics. Aesthetic and lighting really make all the difference. I think that is why it surpasses 2042 and a lot of modern games
Just about everything about BF3 was peak Battlefield, gun play, maps, music, hype trailers leading up to release, even the single player campaign was memorable.
For all of us who were there, let's just be thankful for how lucky we were that we got to experience Battlefield 3 during its peak. Never let those wonderful memories go ❤️
@@Mr_Mistah of course, but the player counts will never be where they once were. Less friends will be playing it as the older consoles people played it on become obsolete and possibly sold off. Basically, while the game itself is still fun, it's the inability to make more of those fun times as easily that hurts.
I really liked the somewhat lower pace in this game. Time to notice you were being shot at and with what, more time to react, to change tactics, get more feeling with each weapon. So much fun.
"They don't go very far in this game! They don't go very far in this game!!!" great vid as always. as a playstation player I really wish there was a way to go play this game again.
Call of Duty 4 was really cool because they made those single player missions with the AC-130 and the stealth sniper mission. Then Battlefield 3 was like let's do all that stuff but make it multiplayer. That's why I loved Battlefield 3 so much.
I've played this game since 2013 and accumulated around +1600hrs, 1586hrs for the multiplayer, 60hrs dedicated to the Campaign (only 300 hrs of BF4, 80hrs of BF1, 100hrs of BFV) because the Campaign mode deserved me playing through it at least 50 times, and I can tell you now, I've *_never_* @12:56 seen this happen, like ever! You are special my friend.
The "enemy killed" pop us is so simple and nice not all colorful of with the little skull idk something about the simplicity of that alone when i first played was nice to see
So many great memories with this game! Couldn't wait for 2011 Christmas to come so I could play this masterpiece , still my favourite BF game but i put alot more time into BF4.
I'm downloading today! gameplay, sound design, even the servers were TOP notch (I live in RSA and used to get 120ms in Europe servers, absolutely insane)
This game was made with one thing in mind: Immersion The graphics, first-person experience, suppression effects, yelling soldiers, those were meant to simulate how it feels like to be a soldier in the field, and it's not even a milsim. BF1 was able to replicate the immersion, but no other BF game in the series came close to this.
My favourite Battlefield game. I've played since BF 1942. Battlefield 3 hype was masterpiece. I remember waiting for the full video of "The Fault Line" single player gameplay.. That graphics was amazing. Omg that Close Quarters was the best and that Ziba Tower DLC map was awesome!.
BF3 is the first Battlefield game I ever played. Such an awesome game
started with BC2, then got into BF3. two really epic games. BF3 being my fav.
Playing mw3 with bf3 were the days
BF3 was fantastic! My first was actually BF1942, the very first BF game. Way back when we had dial up modems, or we just got adsl, can't quite remember. But that was so immense and truly an extraordinary experience. Coming from the fist doom and Duke nukem games, it changed everything.
@@F1REBEARD same dude battlefield 1942 was so sweet on PC , awesome music, and then the classic Battlefield 2.
“Stop Yacking and get off this net!”
technically i played the ps2 bf2 modern combat first (was good) but bf3 was my first multiplater bf game
my favourite thing about this game is that the DLC's weren't some leftover maps that devs used to get some extra cash by releasing them later, they were all thought out parts of the game that you had to have, every one of them stood out and each added so much to overall experience.....
The kind of quality that doesn’t seem to be implemented in BF2042
the close quarters DLC was super fun
they did cost alot so
A lot of the good maps are not played anymore unfortunately
@@razorblade7108 because a lot of people don't have the dlc
BF3 was ahead of its time, and compared to games today it still is.
@ZeeTheRonin he says there are no games that are ahead of time like bf3 was during it's time
The sound design in this game still is absolutely unmatched. The snappiness of bullets whizzing around, the patter of gunshots in the distance, even the whoop of a rocket flying by: amazing.
I agree. But the new MW2 just top it

@@advan0s I don't know why, but I actually love the blue tint, i'm a weirdo i guess
BF3 was pure perfection.

BF3 was an absolute classic. It deserves a true remaster.
Just a simple graphics and server side update. Let’s keep the feel and mechanics the same.
DONT READ MY USERNAME
BF2 as well, I've spent so many hours on it i don't believe i can count it
A console port with 64 players would be nice.
Nope leave it as it. Not everything needs to be redone.
Absolute masterpiece of a game.
To think we got BF3, 4 & 1 in a 5 year period of time.
Way too fast for me tbh, you didn't have enough time to fully enjoy each one
The big 3
4 wasnt as good as 3. it was just downhill after 3 tbh.
@@dnegel9546 It definitely launched in a much poorer state but I think the work DICE LA did towards the end of its life-cycle like Community maps and CTE and general refining of gameplay put it on a similar level to BF3
@@mattodonthepc4001 I prefer 3s maps for rush but BF4 is really BF3 but with movement. Less focus on gunplay because of it but its an element I like.
BF3 is legendary and legends never die
That was such a nostalgic video. Jack being excited about Battlefield always gets me right in the feels. ❤
Battlefield 3's gunplay, campaign and multiplayer is legendary. This was my first multiplayer shooter. And I enjoyed every second of this great game.

Really miss when this game was in its prime. So many great moments
Bf3 is such a nostalgic game thanks for always coming back once in a while Jack and making a vid on it the memories are real 😢
BF3 was the one I've spent most of my time playing. Loved everything about it. Miss Ziba tower map, hope we will see it again in the future.
I loved BF3 so many classics, but the close quarters DLC was epic. Especially on that high rise map the destruction and chaos was so good.
ScrapMetal is amazing for gunmaster and conquest.
Ziba tower

Did not expect the jeep stuff revival but it was a blast remembering all the shenanigans one could do with creativity and C4.
It still looks absolutely beautiful and so gritty it's perfect. Looooove the sound design too I miss it
The voice lines for BF3 were perfect really sucked you in with the Marine vibe.
BF 2 and BF4 are absolute classic to me! Been playing it since the launch and never regret playing.
I'm downloading today! gameplay, sound design, even the servers were TOP notch (I live in RSA and used to get 120ms in Europe servers, absolutely insane)
The gunplay in bf3 was my favourite 😍
This game was made with one thing in mind:
Immersion
The graphics, first-person experience, suppression effects, yelling soldiers, those were meant to simulate how it feels like to be a soldier in the field, and it's not even a milsim.

I don't think I've laughed that hard at a JF video in a while. That was great. Thanks!
I miss this game so much. They really need to do a remake.
I wish I could play this game for the first time again.
I remember playing TDM on noshar canals with my SG553 and SKS. It was such a great time.
This is what happens when skilled developers have a focused and set idea on what to make. Not like 2042 that never knew what it wanted to be
Nothing will ever compare to the moments I had with this one and BF4. Unmatched.
