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 :((

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.
Agreed !!!! Played it on the 360 at this time this atmosphere was very special I loved this Game BF 4 couldn`t reached it`s Atmosphere. BF 3 Forever!!!!
@@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
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.
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...
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.
remember sitting there being a kid with no money, eyeing those booster packs and premium dlc with this ambiance in the background on my old box projector tv. good old times
@@fatwindowmaker1160 i think they were called time savers or something, theyd unlock all of the modifications for vehicles or guns for certain soldier classes
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.

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 ❤️
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.
Big time, seems like 2011 was just yesterday. What the hell was I doing why didn’t I invest into bitcoin back then. Shit, will never forgive myself dam.
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
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.
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
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
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! ❤
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 😔🍻
We peaked right here. 3's map design, sound design, gunplay, and visual aesthetic was superior. 4 did a great job expanding on the weapons, vehicles, and customization suite, but I feel like some of the magic was lost when maps became more open, *everyone* could use DMRs, and everything became orange and _grey,_ not orange and blue. Damavand Peak, Tehran Highway, Noshahr Canals, Alborz Mountains, Armored Shield, Azadi Palace, Operation 925, Ziba Tower, Kharg Island... oh to be 16 again.
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
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..😭😩
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)
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
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.
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.

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.

The gold era of battlefield
and the good decades of ps3 and xbox 360.

Battlefield 3 was a next gen title back then.
You cannot change my mind.
This game is from the future.
This theme and picture perfectly illustrates hell, everyone speeding into the gloom, harrowing war and radio chatter noises.

ay can we just turn back time just once
2009
We probably will get a Remastered of this game
😢
no ahahha

There was something unique and different about BF3. I don't know what it is but even the ambience gives me chills
OMG MEMORIES ARE HERE ❤️

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.
The nostalgia hurts.... bruh
Battlefield 3 is still a good game even tho it's old. Its suprising how old it is and people still play it.
Yes bf3 was ahead of it's time. I now own a rtx 3080 and omg it feels like a brand new bf3 game .
People still play Bad Company 2.

BF1 and BFV have some amazing soundtracks and themes man. Such masterpieces we get till this day.

Damn, it's been 13 years ago 😭
My nostalgia for this will never go away
Battlefield 3's atmosphere was perfect. It's so sad to see what Battlefield has become...
These comments give me goosebumps. Memories indeed.

I listened to it to the end, it's so good
As a cod player, this sounds really good. I like heavy drum ambient.
COD is nice, but I think I love Battlefield better...My dad bought me BO3 for my birthday though.
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

Hearing this after the servers were shut down brings a new feeling...
so much time changing loadouts and gun attachments with this in the background

I used to fall asleep to this I loved it so much

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.
The 2042 beta menu theme sounds a bit like bf4's theme but no radio chatter or anything like that unfortunately :(
Back when EA weren't totally about microtransactions and general scumbaggery. Remember playing this game with my high school football coach.
This game was way ahead of it's time. It achieved what everyone at the time tought was impossible: compete with MW3.

Makes me actually tear up

I can’t explain why this brings back so many memories… jeeez. I mean I can but wow, loss at words.
Heck yeah!! Childhood memories!! I’m finna listen to this while doing my homework/fall asleep.
Countless hours my senior year of high school into college. When BF4 came out, I played the shit out of it. Still do. Best two FPS games of all time.
