Exclusive first look at Battlefield 3: Endgame from DICE in Stockholm, Sweden. Lead designer Niklas Fegraeus talks through some of the details. Endgame is all about speed, agility and adrenaline -- and nothing emphasises these qualities more than the motorbike chases.

There are four new maps for Endgame, and each is themed around a different season. The winter map is Sabalan Pipeline, the summer map -- Nebandan Flats - is a hot desert, and the autumn map is called Operation Riverside. The final map, Kiasar Railroad, is a lush, green forest map that symbolizes spring. Aesthetically each map is very different, and they're all big to allow bursts of speed and long vehicle chases. Sabalan Pipeline is a slightly smaller map that, while still vehicle friendly, is also catered towards infantry combat.

There are two new game modes in Endgame. The first is Capture The Flag, which makes a return for the first time since Battlefield 1942. It's a classic mode but here it's given a Battlefield twist with vehicles making it fast and exciting. The other new mode is Air Superiority, where you capture areas of sky represented by blimps in dogfights of up to 12 players versus 12.

There are lots of jumps, both hidden and in plain sight, and shortcuts that will allow players to reach flag bases faster on motorbikes. There is also a new dropship, which allows for rapid deployment. If you control the central base, you can control a dropship that means you can spawn inside a tank deposited out of the dropship and onto the battlefield via parachute. It's the perfect way to surprise enemies with a tank to help out your teammates. But to counter these aerial threats, there are new aerial defences in the form of two new jeeps equipped with AA turrets on their back. They provide very mobile, very fast anti-air support.

Finally, Niklas divulges his top tip for taking out opponents in Endgame. It's tricky to pull off but is worth the extra effort. When sitting on the back of a friend's bike, you have full access to all your regular weaponry. Equip some C4, and if you time it right, you can pass over a jump located over a road, you can drop C4 onto a tank passing through - landing beside it to detonate. Now that's what we call a Battlefield moment!
