So we set Noshahr Canals up as an industrial harbor, featuring a mix of infantry, land vehicle, and boat gameplay. In the Rush game mode, the beach assault begins on the coastline with a well-defended beach you need to break through to create a beachhead for further attacks on the island, before it opens up wider in the later part of the map.ĭESIGN THOUGHTS> When we set out to do Noshahr Canals, we wanted to contrast the urban and rural with something more industrial. The map is slightly more focused on vehicles with longer distance between flags than for example Noshahar Canals.
Thematically it's representing an assault against Kharg island in the Persian sea, an industrialized island not far from the Iranian coast. It's a very short range close quarter combat map where shotguns tend to be favored.ĭESIGN THOUGHTS> Kharg Island is our second map with boat gameplay. Grand Bazaar is a classically mirrored map where both sides have very similar pathways, sideways, and possibilities to traverse heights to get a better view of the action. The fiction has you coming in two weeks after fighting started, so the tight and narrowly built city has a great deal of destruction already when you spawn into the game. There is also a large tunnel section dug into the mountain side at the bottom of the map, and the view when you look up at the starting location is spectacular.ĭESIGN THOUGHTS> We knew we wanted to do something very urban in the city center of Tehran. The further the attackers progress in the map, the more vehicle warfare will be present.
The only way down into the valley is to somehow make the 500 meter descent. Attackers in Rush and Squad Rush will start high up on a mountain ridge above a mining facility. NIKLAS ÅSTRAND'S DESIGN THOUGHTS: Damavand Peak, internally known as Base Jump, is built on the idea that we want players to be able to base jump, and features our most extreme height differences ever in a Battlefield map. Pretty much every type of vehicle is available in this map. Caspian Border is one of the obvious map choices if you are after the full vehicle experience, as base distances are generally too long to cover by foot. The border control splitting the map in two was introduced to add an interesting break both visually and gameplay wise in the otherwise beautiful and open landscape. All 9 maps will be playable on all 5 game modes.ĭESIGN THOUGHTS> Caspian Border was meant to encapsulate the classic Battlefield all-out vehicle warfare gameplay, and also to be a lush and green contrast to the more urban and desert maps in Battlefield 3. Battlefield 3 will ship with 9 multiplayer maps not including the 4 "Back to Karkand" DLC maps.
