In Battlefield 3, all maps adapt to the five multiplayer game modes available at launch. Head to the official for the full breakdown of every multiplayer mode in the game. http://bit.ly/qDTLjA

Every map has every game mode, that's a positive.

And there are only 9 maps, they better release an expansion some time very soon after release 9 maps is way too little.

they are gonna release the 4 bf2 maps, kark, oman, sharqi and wake.
tbh, i'm quite happy with 13 maps.
Because in the end most of the people play only those 1-2 favorite maps anyway.

B2K comes out a short while after the main release.

They said in the intro:  "All of the 9 huge multiplayer maps in Battlefield 3 adapt to all 5 game modes, effectively giving you 45 distinctly different multiplayer experiences to choose between."
If you count the two different sizes of the conquest maps (on PC only), you get 54 different multiplayer experiences.

I also like that they said "here are the five available multiplayer modes at launch".  I'm still holding out hope for a CTF game mode to be released as DLC...

well isn't conquest sort of like capture the flag?
there is a flag involved

IMHO, there is no greater thrill in gaming that grabbing the enemy flag and having the entire other team out gunning for you.
As an objective game play mode, CTF is better and more deep than Rush as it involves both offense and defense at the same time.

* If the defenders start disarming an M-COM just before it’s about to blow, the explosion is prevented until the disarm is accomplished. If the defender gets killed during the disarm process, the M-COM will instantly blow

Rush probably won't be so one sided now.

Best way to fix rush is to play Conquest.

The problem with rush is you can't baserape as defenders.

snipers and camping dont really bother me.

wait....those are russian tanks...
i'm confused here.

TRAITORS!

It's been known that it's a mainly USMC vs. Russia experience.


Regarding weapons and attachments, and unlocking stuff in general:
On one hand I like it because it adds more customization and tailoring to your play style. On the other hand, BF2 was just fine with relatively few weapons and no bonus points for getting awards and whatnot. It was all about the gameplay, pure and simple. There was no carrot on a stick, just solid fun. The people who wanted to play kept playing and weren't bothered by unfocused addicts.
