EA have released some details about the multiplayer modes you’ll find in Battlefield 3.

Battlefield 3 will feature a total of 5 modes that will span across 9 maps. The modes are, Team Deathmatch, Squad Deathmatch, Rush, Squad Rush and Conquest.

Team Deathmatch is your standard affair, up to 24 players battling it out with no vehicles.

Squad Deathmatch will hold up to 16 players and will be split into 4 teams of 4. Each team will also have their own Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV).

Rush is popular amongst the Bad Company players out there. It will feature 24 players on consoles and 32 on PC. The aim is to either attack M-COM stations and progress through the map or stop the other team from doing so. Each team takes it in turns to attack and defend,

Squad Rush is almost exactly the same as standard Rush except with fewer players – 8 – and fewer M-COM stations.

Lastly, Conquest will feature 24 players on console or up to 64 on PC. This is the mode for the full out warfare, it’ll feature all sorts of vehicles allowing you to cause mayhem. The aim is to remove all of the enemies tickets. To remove tickets you can either kill them a lot or capture and hold enemy flags.

As well as these modes there’s also Hardcore and Infantry modes. These can be selected on any of the modes or maps and will slightly effect the game modes depending on which one you choose. They’re fairly straight forward, Infantry mode will remove all of the vehicles and Harcore mode will reduce the damage you can take which turns the game into a more tactical affair.
