We recently revealed detailed information about all four maps in Battlefield 3: End Game. These vast new maps all cater to the high-speed warfare in End Game, while also offering four distinct settings from winter to summer, desert and forest.

Head on over to the Battlefield Blog for the definite overview of all four maps.

This weekend, we are asking you to arm and disarm one million M-COM stations collectively in Rush mode. If you succeed, we will unlock the sixth challenge dog tag for everyone! Full details below.

Arm (and/or disarm) one million M-COM stations to unlock the new "Bird of Prey" dog tag. All players work together across all platforms.

For 48 hours, we will monitor how many M-COM stations in Rush get armed and disarmed. It doesn’t matter what map and server you’re playing on, as long as it’s Rush mode.

Reach one million collectively on all platforms from Saturday through Sunday (Feb 16-17) to clear the goal and receive the new “Bird of Prey” dog tag. Click link to see start times where you live.

Operation Métro was the first multiplayer map revealed for Battlefield 3 and was playable in Rush mode at the E3 show 2011. Ever since, it's been one of the defining experiences for Battlefield 3.

In Rush a team of attackers is tasked with arming and detonating pairs of M-COM stations in sequence, progression through new areas of the map as they do so. For the defenders, the mission is clear: Prevent the attackers from detonating every M-COM or lose the game. For the defenders, the only way to win is to deplete the attackers’ respawn tickets (defenders have an unlimited amount of these).

With that, we will leave you to it. Just make sure to arm and disarm a lot of M-COM stations this weekend, and we will get back to you next week with the results.

Good luck and have fun!
