  • Battlefield 3 doesn't have many players left and there's a possibility that the servers might go down in the future based on what happened to Bad Company 2. Let's play again for the nostalgia, so good! Leave a LIKE and a comment, thanks for watching.

Today i play noshar channels and caspian border in portal mode on 2042 but i really miss firestorm. Hopefully there will be more bf3 maps on 2042 but even with the new textures i would say it looked better before, i do miss the yellow flowers on caspian border since it gives it the bf3 look.

    BF3 was one of those games where you knew where you were when it cameout and what you did when you played it. I remember getting this for my PS3 and spending so much time on it until I moved over to the 360. An absolute gem of a game, the sniping was perfect, the vehicle physics were fun, I’d spend so much time strapping a C4 to the 4wheelers and driving straight into people. The gunplay was super snappy and beefy. Visuals never wasted a second of your time. I loved the theme of that game so much, the blue data glitches and the vibrant orange explosions as the backdrop for the menu. This game was the perfect in between era game before the modern style of games and right after the desert storm era of games.

      It was definitely ahead of its time in terms of graphics. Also goes to show how implementing all the fancy new graphics tech doesn't necessarily make a game look better. A lot of it comes down to art direction and cohesion and using tricks that are more efficient performance wise that will achieve 90% of the same look as more performance expensive methods.

    • @martincerny3294
      @martincerny3294 Před rokem +30

      It's not just the maps, it's the general feeling, the rawness. In BF4 everything looks shiny and polished. When you play BF3 the guns genuinely look and feel like they've seen some action, but not just that but also the animations, there's just so much care put into simple things like that. But what I think made this game so catching was how simple it was to understand the gameplay and your surroundings. You knew exactly what you need to counter this and that, the weaknesses and strenghts of each class so each had its magic. With every subsequent game the classes became less and less defined, you could take a sniper with C4 etc. Loading the games with features in the end broke them.

    My first FPS, memories of which brought me to youtube to search for Battlefield 3 videos almost 9 years ago, which is how I found Jack's channel. Loved this video so much.

    This was my first and favorite Battlefield game back on PS3 after playing the beta. Greatest FPS I've had the joy of playing, everything just felt right and hit all of my boxes in what I loved in FPS games. CoD could never touch this to me, not even today

      @@peabrain6872 Nostalgia plays a big part of it, yes, but I didn't even feel BF4 was better. I didn't play Conquest much because I never had a consistent friend group, so I stuck to TDM on both games, but I just felt that BF3 had something special that wasn't easily replicated. If there was any game that could be immortalized for me, it's this one. Bugs and all

    Can't believe I'm only watching this video now, 7 months later in 2024. This was extremely satisfying gameplay and just goes to show how epic BF3 was, still is and forever will be. It has put me in the mood to play some BF3 now. Awesome gameplay Jack, keep the videos coming :)
