Battlefield 3 Multiplayer Map Has 500M Base Jump

Do This In Battlefield 3 Multiplayer



Talk about variety.  How does two spawns that have 500M of vertical distance between them sound?  DICE has always been one to give you unique perspectives in the Battlefield franchise, but the Damavand Peak Multiplayer Map in Battlefield 3 looks to be another one of those opportunities for the developer.

DICE told fans that the map is internally known as "base jump" because that's the star of the show here.  Attack in Rush are said to start high over the battlefield with the only way down being off a cliff.

It could be a modern day "Battle of Normandy" where players need to avoid incoming fire on their decent, but once a man touches down, obviously the squad spawning can begin.  That's just rumor at this point, but with such a unique feature in the map, it's hard not to think of interesting ways that it can be used within the game.  In the series of trailers called "Fault Line", the video depicts soldiers leaping off the edge with a helicopter just ahead, come to find out, that's what you'll be doing in multiplayer.  Epic.

    i dont no why but i have a funny feeling iv played another game where i could parachute in at the start of a match, a game where i could jump out of a helicopter and use a parachute. what was that called o yeah bad company 2 who was that made by. dice you say. something new and unique for battlefield 3. and it was already in bad company 2. the writer is an idiot…

      Wow….You’re an idiot.

      The last time you could parachute over 200 feet was 2142. That game didnt have a physical height cap. The only thing keeping you from going up infinitely was your aircraft stalling. BC2 keeps you locked at about 200 feet. And Port Valdez drops players in way ahead of the defenders. This here, is 16 people falling straight into the mcoms. You’re the one who should be reading.

      and just to clarify on nicks math in case you couldnt quite figure that out either 200 feet is 60 meters. this jump is 500. BIG difference.

      well this is something new?????

      sorry how do you now you drop straight on top of the mcon station it doesnt say that. it says there above the battlefield. are you not above the battlefield when you drop in on maps in bc2.
      im moaning it isnt new and isnt unique, youv even given me more to say that it isnt new and it isnt unique. dont know how that makes me the idiot. its a dumb thing to try to promote a game on. ooo great i get to fall for 2.6 seconds longger then i could in bc2 thats gonna well make everyone by it.

      2.6 seconds? If this is anything like BF2, were talking about, say, AT THE MINIMUM 10 seconds. WITHOUT parachute. With parachute, you’ll be floating for minutes, like in BF2. To my knowledge NO OTHER GAME lets players fall that long. And just LOOK at the damn picture! Attackers base is RIGHT ON TOP of the defender’s base. You WILL be landing on the mcoms I assure you. Now quit crying.

      In actuall warfare, you don’t just run up to peple and knife em. It’s a lot knifing in CoD. In battlefield you can only knife someone from behind. In real warfare you sit at least a 100m from a target. Battlefield has the most realistic warfare of the two games. Just sayi’n….

    I like that fact it’s different at least for Battlefield.

    I know a lot of self-proclaimed BF “veterans” have been complaining that BF3 is not a BF2 clone with better graphics (although surely the Karkand dlc will be as close as you’re gonna get).

    But I happen to like the newer Rush mode gameplay over conquest because it tends to get more hectic more frequently and I love the whole “constant feeling like shit is going down” thing. Conquest is still great and is what BF is classically about, there’s no denying that, but I tend to find the action can be a bit too spaced out some of the time.

    And this base jump map gives Rush an extra dimension and a new thought to tactically approaching the battle.

    Of course, Titan mode would be perfect if they ever decided to bring that back…from the future…..

    This game is going to be awesome.but after reading Uncharted 3 review on Playmania magazine my hopes of battlefield 3 getting game of the year went down-_-.it scores a 9.9/10 passing Uc2 9.5 and red dead 9.8,and we all know red dead was beast and got Goty 2010.and also the Uncharted 3 ending is going to be the most epic ending in video game history.dont want to spoil for u guys,but ur balls are going to drop when u play it.i still want BF3 to get GOTY over UC3 -_-

    • avatar
      That Guy

      i dont think a fps game will ever get goty(correct me if im wrong) just because its an fps game. all you do is kill the opposing team in different ways. you take other games like rdr or fallout 3 they combine basically everything an fps has and adds rpg components on top of it. long story short as long as theres a AAA title that isnt an fps i dont think an fps will ever win goty.likely candidates this year are uncharted 3 batman arkham city and skyrim.

    Is it just me or would it be EPIC playing as defender…. And watching some GENIUS land the attackers chopper on YOUR SOIL to repair, u knife em, steal the chopper and fly strait up…. Chopping up thousands of helpless dangling soldiers in your rise :)

    P.S. I don’t know how many times people land their choppers right next to the enemy to repair, or simply bail…. It funny cause I get a free choppa :D
