Operation Métro

Operation Métro is a multiplayer map set to be featured in the multiplayer of upcoming Battlefield 3. It is set in Paris, France and is to be featured in Conquest, Rush, Team Deathmatch, Squad Rush and Squad Deathmatch modes, as it has been confirmed that every map in Battlefield 3 will be playable across all modes.Operation Métro initially takes place in a park, but soon moves on the Paris underground metro system, following by the Paris Stock Exchange. The factions are United States Marine Corps against the Spetsnaz of the Russian Ground Forces.

Operation Métro was the map used during the Battlefield 3 Alpha and Beta, DICE later redesigned the map for balancing purposes, with the LAV-25 being removed from the Attackers Side.

Trivia

 * Advertisements of Battlefield 3 can be seen around the map.
 * In the park some newspaper stands say "Battlefield 3 Rocks" and also there is an "EA Post" newspaper. referring to Electronic Arts.
 * In the third MCOM sets there is a "runner bag" from Mirror's Edge in a blocked off area.
 * Also in the third MCOM sets there is a photobox that flashes when a command is told so.
 * If you stand at the spot where the JDAM is supposed to blow a hole in the ground, the JDAM will kill you.
 * The GPS data provided by the EOD Bot's display shows that Operation Métro corresponds to an area between the Paris Stock Exchange (Bourse du Commerce) and the Place du Louvre (east of the famous museum). However, the game map (attacking from west to east) does not correspond to the real-world map (path from north to south).
 * There is an inconsistency with the map: The metro which was stolen in the single-player campaign was located in New York City, yet the streets outside the metro are very remniscient of the streets of Paris from Comrades and the EOD Bot even pinpoints a location in Paris.
