EA just copied Blizzards model of CoD to Battlefield. And not EA or Dice are to blame for this, but the players themselves. Because sells of CoD are pretty large even with todays quality of game.
Noice, I just started playing this game in 2019/2018. At first, I thought the game felt really hard, I stopped playing the game since I was stuck at this one mission for months, so I went back playing the game again, it was fun, even for an old game, it was great...I stopped again, then yesterday, I played the game, it was too fun for me, but the screen hanged, I was playing on my Xbox 360 btw, It's been like 5 (Or more) years that the Xbox 360 been with my family, so I think that's the problem.
@@loop5720 I haven't played the game for quite a while. The multiplayers are dead now, and I hope DICE and EA does something about it and try to revive the franchise in 2021 or 2022. I wish to have that Battlefield 3/4 vibe again :((

Zardoz The irony is that there are so many iconic pieces of video game music. I’d argue more people would recognize the Super Mario Bros. theme than Hans Zimmer’s Dark Knight theme, yet music and cinematography in gaming don’t get the credit they deserve.

@@faure9369 The maps in the base game were so much worse in bf4. Smg's for engineer didn't work at all and all the bullshit gadgets and grenades ruined close quarters. I'll never understand why anyone would think bf4 is better
this theme is so awesome. every time I booted up, it filled me with an anxious kind of dread. the droning tone, the low reverbing chatter. it felt like I was about to step into a warzone; a calm before the storm before the game sends you off to the combat.
Every year i come here to remind myself how fast time passes by From a child in 2011 to a grown ass man in 2021. Time really moves fast enjoy your moments and days, love your family and be with them and ur loved ones before it is too late. More than just a game ❤️
Played METRO like there's no tomorrow, sooo many times, what a blast! Lots of fantastic maps, sensational sound design and no internet hate. I miss those days...
I still can remember every single moment playing this game. Buying the dlc code card and returning home in my dad’s car backsit, emails I sent to EA when my multiplayer crashed... this game has a meaningful share in my childhood. Now, 9years later I’m waiting for my military draft(South Korean). Memories of rushing through the bluish gloomy canal holding an AS VAL will stay in my head forever.

The perfect theme to a main menu... Soft yet unsettling... Perfect for a game about the unsettling nature of modern military combat... The way it should be. The radio chatter effect is a sublime addition! And who could forget the blue sun!
I came back to this video because I found it saved in my notepad app I used when I was in school. 7 years later the nostalgia is still real. I used to listen to this in the background while I was studying for my degree, it was so relaxing yet focusing at the same time - I don’t know why but it helped.
Bro I've legit been watching this video since high school and I'm about to graduate college. I put this music on the background to study and it helps me focus; this shit helps me pass my exams lol
Mate you’re outta your mind if you think the steam soundtrack and other ones are trash. Especially the Solomon island theme. That is incredible just like the bf1 Turkish theme.
Back when I was a small lad of 11 my older brother introduced this to me as my first ever Battlefield game, that day was a day that I made the best decision. EVER
Coming back to this video so I can hear this music, the same music I'd hear every day I got home from school and waited for my friends to get on so we can squad up and play Rush A toast, to the old days 😔🍻
I rememeber playing the operation metro beta over and over again and watching the trailer nonstop I could not get this game off my mind And when it came out Omg I went insane This is the only thing I’ve ever stood in line for on Black Friday for I rememeber telling all my friends I was probably gonna get this over mw3 and it was def the best decision I ever made I played by myself a majority of the time in party chat but I didn’t even care I was really locked in on this game I remember I was on operation metro and my boy was like “bro who’s mic sounds like a warzone rn is that battelfield???” Soon as he heard it he was like damn I might have to get that we spent that whole summer locked in on operation metro Def one of my greatest gaming experiences ever
Who was glued to the screen for 20 minutes like me? I cannot get enough of this ambient. It has so much feeling and liveliness! I absolutely love it! Also, the main menu's dynamic background just reminds me of everything that is unique and outstanding when it comes to Battlefield 3. It's not only about childhood nostalgia rather a long gone era that worked well and was truly very close to our souls. Now the emotions stay with us for the rest of our lives to be relived though simple videos like this (right before we jump back on to play). It can be considered a tiny thing but at the same time it brings so much more out of people. A complex remembrance that is almost as impactful as BF3 itself and always will be. Thank you for making this btw! ❤
This, the PS3 voice quality and the AH-1Z/Mi-28 engine noise along with the TV-Missile and gunner firing is what I remember so often about BF3... I still miss the friends I made there man, and the game itself ❤
Played this when for so many of my teen years when i had my ps3....hearing this now just brings me back to those loose summer sunset days of playing this game...this feeling of nostalgic
i just played the campaign honestly and that menu hit me each time i got in its just so heavy (when i played it at a young age of 8 i was not allowed to play online so i had fun in the campaign)
if you want to feel something special then put the headphones set in the room of dark corner close your eyes and feel the Blackburn in a middle of this war..😭😩
Damn..I could keep listening this for hours. I remember that sometimes I liked to remain in the menu for some minutes listening to this, before starting to play
There was a time when ea allowed rented servers on console. The server tickets were always set to the max no matter the game mode. People liked it that way i guess, except for the defenders on rush. I remember playing a full match defending on Kharg, we held out until the last objective. We went full out, throwing ammo, meds, mines, AT launching out of every possible wall that had by this point been destroyed. Somehow we took out the 999 tickets they started with and i was so fing pumped and boom sleep crash. I backed out to the main menu and went to sleep hearing this
One thing I like about bf3 compared to any other military game in the battlefield series or call of duty game is that bf3 included having conflict with iran something that is much relevant to today and not just kept to just obvious conflicts with superpowers like Russia or china only.
I certainly hope they have something like this over the menu for BF2042. Music and whatnot is cool, but the military-esque ambience would really get you in the mood, just like it did with BF3.
You were 11 years old, walking home from school. You stopped in the kitchen to grab a bag of doritos and a glass of chocolate milk. You headed upstairs to your room. You booted up your ps3 with bf3. It was double xp weekend, and you joined a conquest match on operation firestorm with your m4a1 holo/suppressor/grip. It was Friday, no homework, and you had nothing but time. Good ol days 😁
Nope, I was 22 in college. I stayed home from class because fuck it, you can just do that in college. I grabbed a bag of doritos and a beer, booted up bf3 for the ps3 and jumped into Rush with my An-94 because I'm not a slimey catfish
Too bad it ain't the same dice we all knew . Now it's a whole different team, rumors say that bf6 will not be what the fans are expected to be ,but plays well. Only time will tell.
Battlefield 3 marked a turning point in the history of video games. With its near-perfect sound, music, atmosphere and simple, effective gameplay, it created an artistic abyss in the landscape of war games after its passage. Some people didn't notice it, others like me are traumatized by the games that followed.
A Masterpiece. I heard this and instantly I would think of just pure chaos. I could feel like I was about to load into the most immersive war arcade/sim of my generation, and I was. Sure it's no Arma but this was just EPIC. Arma is a snore fest in comparison.

So many people hated BF3’s dark, synth-heavy soundtrack but I thought it made the entire experience.
You can’t forget the blue hue. The colours in bf3 were so good imo.
WhyYouTrappinSoHard Agreed. Some maps were worse than others but Operation Metro and Noshahr Canals looked so goddamn nice
People don’t grasp the concept that games soundtracks and colors control the atmosphere the same as it does in film.

Noah Lach hit the nail on the head. Although games are getting more technically immersive they’re generally getting less artistically so.
One of the best online shooters I've ever played. 10/10

this theme is so awesome. every time I booted up, it filled me with an anxious kind of dread. the droning tone, the low reverbing chatter. it felt like I was about to step into a warzone; a calm before the storm before the game sends you off to the combat.
Brilliantly executed ambient sound.

There was something unique and different about BF3. I don't know what it is but even the ambience gives me chills
They need to bring back this radio chatter sounds in BF3 it sounds so cool makes BF4 sound empty they need to bring this style of sound to BF6
When your in the deployment screen in bf4 you hear the chatter
This didn't aged well
12 years since it came out. Crazy how time flies. Best BF by far.
To be honest, this menu would still hold up in 2023
i hope it does, this music definitely wouldnt hold up though since dice has neglected the military vibe type osts for battlefield
@@ziggazaggarit’ll hold up for the fan base tho
Beyond 2023. This menu is from the future.
Just watch the news, put it on mute, and then play this over that. 😬

Battlefield 3 is still a good game even tho it's old. Its suprising how old it is and people still play it.

So nostalgic. Bf sounds and soundtracks use to be so unique and create emotion. Nowadays it’s just garbage
My first BF game BF3 Limited Edition version and I've never played Battlefield V or any other BF game, but I guess you're right...

BF1 and BFV have some amazing soundtracks and themes man. Such masterpieces we get till this day.
bf4 and bf1 had very good and emotional ost´s, cant tell about bfv bc i only played the iwo jima demo
Back when I was a small lad of 11 my older brother introduced this to me as my first ever Battlefield game, that day was a day that I made the best decision. EVER
In my opinion the best battlefield ever made. I have so many memories on this game playing operation metro
N O S T A L G I C.
Playing this game everyday during senior year of HS was such a good time. Come home, turn on the PC, jump on VC with the bois, and head to Kharg.
Damn I never got to experience it on pc until now that I own a rtx 3080. Feels like bf3 was ahead of it's time
You have been disconnected from EA Online and PSN. Online features are not available.
Holy fuck yes that gives my bad memories
At least the shit was free
Bought the game years ago, still don't have Xbox Live Gold. ;(
Bruh you revived me a memory
i remember playing with russians, arabs, japanese, germans in middle school, was so fun
bruh same, i would spend so long ingame that my local servers would die out and i get matched with overseas players, it was a world tour

The world, dicators, wars, everyone lying.
