Battlefield 3′s team deathmatch mode will be a smaller, vehicle-less affair than the sprawling 64 player Conquest mode that we saw demoed spectacularly at Gamescom last week. DICE confirmed to the BF3 blog that team deathmatch mode will support 24 player, infantry only scraps. It may be less than Conquest mode, but it’s a step above Battlefield: Bad Company 2′s 16 player contests.


Tank fans, fear not. There will be plenty of opportunity to run over cars, enemy soldiers and small animals in single player, and more exciting opportunities to shoot down jets in tanks, divebomb tanks in jets and fly jets into other jets in Battlefield 3′s biggest multiplayer maps. We recently learned that we’ll have to use the Battlelog website to access multiplayer. Battlefield 3 is out on October 25in the US, October 27 in Australia and October 28 in Europe.


Battlefield 3 will have 24 player team deathmatch | PC Gamer

that sounds sweet; what was the squad size on the Alpha? 4, I thought was too small 6 would be great.

I don't even remember to be honest I have some screen shots but I had no more than 4 people but there was some room on the screen.

I believe the squads were supposed to be bigger but in TDM that's not as much of a concern to me. Its the other modes.

The deploy screen had 14 slots on it but those include the deploy points not just people you can spawn on.

I certainly hope the map sizes are smaller for this because 12 enemy players are far too few targets of opportunity for me and I am too lazy to hunt folks down and would prefer they come to me to die instead. :)
