In September 2020, we informed you about some unofficial modding tools that were under development for Battlefield 3. And today, we are happy to report that these modding tools, called Venice Unleashed, are now available for download.
VU (a.k.a. Venice Unleashed) is a modding and improvement framework for Battlefield 3. VU promises to offer a variety of features, such as the ability to host private dedicated servers, high frequency/tickrate servers, configurable suppression and color correction (ie. you can disable the blue tint), and extensive modding capabilities. With it, you can join servers offering custom experiences (such as the BF3 Reality Mod). Alternatively, you can create your own custom server.
VU supports smooth gameplay on high-tickrate 60Hz and 120Hz servers. Not only that, but you can watch matches in real-time using the extensive built-in spectating features.
It will be interesting to see what kind of mods BF3 will now receive that these unofficial modding tools are out.
You can download Battlefield 3 Venice Unleashed from here.
Have fun!

Yo’ remember that guy saying that modding was a declining trend, well this proves how dead wrong he was and many years later modders finally releasing this mod tool kit without a source code which is already a damn impressive feat to do so, it feels good to be a PC gamer and what a good slap in the face to that DICEA guy. GG.
I can’t wait to replay this game with out the goddamn sunglare burning my eyes, higher tick rates for servers and can’t thank them enough for getting rid of that nasty blue filter and so excited as well for that mod that changes the gameplay core close to that of Project Reality for BF2 or Squad, w/e.
if I can play with bots then ok otherwise fck off.
Good to see the team relasing the mod.
But VU is not even worth trying, sure it has 130 serwers, 10 are full and on every server there is plenty of people with +100ms ping…
60Hz and 120Hz will not help when dude has 200ms ping it’s like shooting ghost at this point.
Admins don’t give a f*ck, they want servers to be populated, when I asked about ping limit plugin (yes this thing exists) I was kicked off the server.. so gg wp.
Grab reshade to make BF3 colorful and get rid of the blue tint, without reshade the color palette is washed out.
Forget about the mod, and toxic fanboys of this mod.
