Battlefield 3 End Game Capture the Flag Shows High-Speed Action

Just the other day, it was revealed that Battlefield 3's End Game expansion would be getting the Air Superiority mode. If you've been keeping tabs to Battlefield 3 news, you'll know that Air Superiority isn't the only game mode making a comeback, but Capture the Flag will be in End Game, too.

While it's been a Battlefield-heavy news day. it's about to get even heavier, as DICE has revealed the first-ever gameplay footage of Capture the Flag and does it look frantic!

Highlighted in the clip below are motorcycles — a first in a Battlefield game — over choppers, tanks or other vehicles. This makes sense since if you've captured the enemy flag, you'll want to take it to your base as fast as possible…and what could be faster than motorbikes? The speed does come with a rather hefty trade-off and that's protection. Yes, you're going to be able to outrun tanks and other vehicles, but you're a sitting duck with no cover whatsoever when you and your mate are blazing through. 

Take a look at what I mean in the video below.
