Battlefield 3 Walkthrough
For more Battlefield 3 cheats, easter eggs, secrets and video guides, check out the walkthrough app brought to you by Game Front.
Welcome to the Battlefield 3 walkthrough, where you’ll find text and video covering the singleplayer campaign.
Prepare to be impressed. Not since Crysis has a PC game come around that demanded perfection from our weak computers. There is no two ways about it, Battlefield 3 is a beautiful game. Graphics aside, it’s also a huge game — the conquest multiplayer modes we all know and love from the Battlefield series still reign supreme online, with tanks, helicopters, and jet fighters thrown into the mix over sprawling maps. But, Battlefield 3 doesn’t stop there, with the inclusion of a full singleplayer story and a separate co-op campaign. That’s a lot of content to handle.
That’s why the modern war-fighters of Game Front are ready to draft up new orders for players everywhere with our text and video walkthrough. If you’re looking for more lists covering Battlefield 3, check out our achievements and trophies pages. For a collection of all our special or extra content, stop by the cheats page.

When are you guys going to release a walkthough on how to actally make the game work?
Or rather, how to make Origin actually work.

I’ve got a problem with part 3. It’s a bit different then in first mission (semper fields). I jump the train, there’s an explosion and I die. I don’t even see Solomon shooting me. I get out, press space at the right moment, explosion and I die.

During the Kaffarov mission when you have to shoot your commanding officer for the PC what do you press to shoot him? I have tried everything but just die. The normal LMB doesn’t shoot him what does?

In Operation Swordbreak, #10 above, I follow the wire, pull the plug and the guy comes in from behind and we fight. We get to the point where he head butts me and I just fall back and die. Nothing I try can get me past this point. Very frustrating. In the walkthrough he head butts me and we continue to fight–seems like it’s no big deal. What is the secret?

Hey Rick you have to press X I meant thats what I clicked on my ps3 … After that you continue fighting and then go back and help you team

Rick: There appears to be a bug with some of the quick-time events that crops up if you’ve rebound any of the default keys. If you’ve changed the keys that the game is telling you to use (example: I rebound Jump to Right Mouse instead of space), you’ll need to push both the key it’s telling you to push AND the key you rebound it to simultaneously. For example, when told to push Space, I had to push both Space and Right Mouse together.
I encountered this bug and it took me a whole day to figure out how to bypass it. Hopefully, this will work for you.

After reading these comments I’ve decided not to buy BF3.
Halo PC is still the best FPS. 8D
BTW, FF new format sucks, they should go back to the website format they had 5 years ago.
I used to DL many files here, but now I usually go to other websites.

Hey BFF!
Here’s the full list of buttons for that QTE:

The last button to finish the target is “X”.
Hope that helps!

Finished the champaign on my Win7 64bit PC system. Found these bugs:
1) Subway car – after you jump between cars and get shot at; when the prompt appears,rapidly press the ‘space bar’ to climb up the side of the subway car. Watch out for flying debris, crouch to stay alive.
2) In the end scene of “Kaffarov”: to shot the CO – press the “tiddle” key (left of # 1 key), then the #1 key and the “tiddle” key again, AIM and shoot, all this at a fast pace. You might have to repeat the scene until it works.
Great game, lots of action and surprises. Too bad it’s too short. Bye!
yeah right

Really bad game for all the hoopala -cut scenes are interminable- too many times “e” and “space” never work well-just very poor entertainment.

On November 20, 2011 at 4:06 am
Yeah I`m agreeing wiv a lot of us that these bloody buttons u gotta keep pressin especially on the PC version like, space, E, is absolutly total gob e!! Just leave things alone instead of complicating them wiv having to press this n then press that n then havin 2do the whole F-FIN thing ALL over again, n again, n again, coz it`s totally ruining the flow of the game and the game experiance. The game people probably as per usual won`t give a toss about our feedback u know!!!!!!!!

If you needed a walkthrough for HARD-mode it wouldn’t be hard now would it? Pretty lame to need one really….

On comrades part 11 using xbox 360 what keys do you use to throw bloke under train. I keep hitting B but then he head butts me then kills me everytime thanks dave
Kevin Thielenhaus
On November 22, 2011 at 1:00 pm
Hey DaveH,
Hit [B], then [Right Trigger], then [A]. Make sure to only hit the buttons as they flash on the screen, not before or after.

Thank you Ron Whitaker. I finially came back to the game, reset the controls to default and got through the fight in one try. Odd thing is that the only setting I changed was the verticle control which I play as inverted.
Thanks

I’m on the “Going Hunting” mission on the 360, and can’t get past the part of calling in the Warthog/paint the laser strike. It says to press the green A button, but nothing happens, and then the time runs out and mission fails. “AAAAGGH!”, very frustrating. Tried every button, and cannot find any help yet on the web either.

Most of you ppl on here are talking trash, BF3 is without any doubt the best Fps ive ever played, if your game experience sux you have an out dated PC that cant unleash the beast in a game. If you PC is Anything less than a i7 gaming machine with direct X11, then no doubt your experience would cause you grief. BF3 is Incredible. And those complaining about Keyboard button sequences, have’nt you heard about XBOX 360 controllers for PC or are you 2 povo to afford 1. Alot of you are crying because your system is old and not up to the latest game tech. BF3 is Incredible. and on my system looks realistic as life itself.

This game is not nearly what it’s advertised to be. I cannot really recommend it to anyone and will not buy it for my son. So much hype for so little reality. Medal of Honor is better than this at less than half the price.

For the close up fighting scene and all who struggle: On Xbox switch to the default control settings just to be sure you dont mix up the melee attach button e.g., then press the buttons as they appear on the screen, usually LR, B or A (they light up if you press them not too early and not too late) Don’t press all kind of buttons like crazy or in panic because this wont work.
cheers,

On August 12, 2012 at 5:02 pm
Somehow I already get stuck on this first episode, I keep falling of the train.
Rapidly press ‘Space’ does not seem to help. Tried it in combination with
A or D and W but I always fall down, never get up to the top of the train.
Pls help, this is an early bummer… what am I doing wrong ?
Thanks
Ron Whitaker
On August 14, 2012 at 5:45 am
Frank: If you have changed your key bindings, you need to not only hit the Space bar, but you also need to hit the button you re-bound Jump to. Example: I use the Right Mouse Button to jump, so when that QTE appears, I have to hit Space and the right mouse.
Hope this helps!
