No Specialists, no stupid skins

The radios chatter is so nostalgic

Every moment I was on this menu, I felt like this game was from the future. It was beyond our generation of gaming

my entire 4 years of high school right here

So many people hated BF3’s dark, synth-heavy soundtrack but I thought it made the entire experience.

BF3 is the best modern battlefield of all time it was such a unique game in its time

One of the best online shooters I've ever played. 10/10 This was DICE in their fucking prime!!

Imma fall asleep to these wonderful sounds of BF3 hopefully I wake up in 2011

The good old days in 2011. No stupid specialist's No coronavirus No fortsh1t The gold era of battlefield and the good decades of ps3 and xbox 360.

Greatest ASMR ever

Isn’t it funny that most of us memorised the radio chatter rhytm

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.

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...

2024 anyone? Nostalgia trip or what

Battlefield 3 was a next gen title back then. You cannot change my mind.

I came back here because i needed it.

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

This theme and picture perfectly illustrates hell, everyone speeding into the gloom, harrowing war and radio chatter noises.

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 ❤️

In 2012 i had big ol turtle beach headphones and was waiting for my friend to join my lobby... Those were the days man

OMG MEMORIES ARE HERE ❤️

The nostalgia hurts.... bruh

ay can we just turn back time just once

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!

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

Sad... So sad 😭😭😭 It has been 9 years... 💙💙💙💙

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

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

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.

12 years since it came out. Crazy how time flies. Best BF by far.

N O S T A L G I C.

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

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

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.

To be honest, this menu would still hold up in 2023

That radio chatter will always hold a special place in my heart like the whole game

The definition of this theme : The world, dicators, wars, everyone lying.

i remember playing with russians, arabs, japanese, germans in middle school, was so fun

In my opinion the best battlefield ever made. I have so many memories on this game playing operation metro

I low those radio talking sounds

This song is almost a quiet sound. Reminds me of BF3 menu

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.

So nostalgic. Bf sounds and soundtracks use to be so unique and create emotion. Nowadays it’s just garbage

atmosphere on another level.

Too much nostalgia, I would like to return 5 years back with Bf3, bf4, mw3 & bo2 :(( 2019 ?

They don't make games like this anymore. Awesome menus from the future.

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 😔🍻

BF3 always gave off a very strong Afghanistan War Vibe. A very fitting theme for it's era.

The best game ever, i miss the old times....

You have been disconnected from EA Online and PSN. Online features are not available.

I get the behind the scene vibes when it comes to conducting missions against the enemy like in real life when I hear this

The only game that manages to give me that painful nostalgic feeling

Please remaster this game..

The greatest Battlefield ever made.

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

2011 Legendary Year BF3 and the Fantastic Modern Warfare 3 Good old days 😢

Now trying to navigate the menus if BF2042 and CoD is like using a government website.

Those sounds are euphoric

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

Memories of staying home sick from school all day and playing this :)

This game even though it was violent it was still peaceful at sometimes

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! ❤

Battlefield 3's atmosphere was perfect. It's so sad to see what Battlefield has become...

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..😭😩

relaxing

Miss this game so much.

Damn, it's been 13 years ago 😭

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 ❤

2011 was the best for me, coming home during my sophomore year in highschool to play this masterpiece

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)

The main menu is so beautiful

Greatest shooter of all time, the vibes are and will forever be unmatched. Gritty depiction of the chaos modern war brings

Johan Skugge and Jukka Rintamäki... Legendary OST! 😎🥰🥰

4 years anniversary

These comments give me goosebumps. Memories indeed.

9 years passed already huh damm..... im really gonna miss this game

The best game of all time 💔

I listened to it to the end, it's so good

As a cod player, this sounds really good. I like heavy drum ambient.

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

2022.. man I miss the old times

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 love the feeling of this, its like the calm before the storm, very relaxing

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

remaster bf3

Back when EA weren't totally about microtransactions and general scumbaggery. Remember playing this game with my high school football coach.

Hope BF6 returns to where BF3 and BF4 boomed back in the days.

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.

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 😁

I miss my dad we used to play this all the time I'll never forget what time we had

You have been banned from this server

Best gamer ever

nostalgia- calming therapy sounds

I used to leave my tv on this menu and fall asleep listening to it, it’s good background noise

this is gonna be my outro

My nostalgia for this will never go away

I wish battlefield 3 was still popular on Xbox the only servers in can find is 24/7 metro

so much time changing loadouts and gun attachments with this in the background
