The Ultimate Battlefield 3 Multiplayer, Weapons, Vehicles, and Maps Guide


EA sent out a four page Battlefield 3 multiplayer fact sheet, with a list of all the weapons, vehicles, and maps, along with their accessories, specializations, and details, respectively. Battlefield3gamer.com published the full four pages printed on their official forum.

Here is the full multiplayer fact sheet:

[spoiler intro="KEY FEATURES"]Play Your Way In the Biggest Battlefield Ever! From city streets to open rural landscapes, Battlefield 3 offers unparalleled depth and gameplay variety. Classic ‘Rush’ and ‘Conquest’ modes are complemented by newly introduced ‘Team Death Match’ for an instant action fix.

Extensive Co-op Campaign: Unique maps and missions are available for players to tackle online with a friend, using co-op specific gameplay features. Co-op missions tie into the single player story.

Powerful Social Features in Battlelog: Players will never go into battle alone thanks to the powerful new community features of Battlelog. Players can build their platoon, communicate with other gamers, and compare their multiplayer prowess with friends and foes alike. Battlelog is free on all platforms.

Frostbite 2-Enabled Destruction: Frostbite 2 creates a whole new level of life-like destruction. Enhanced large and small scale destruction now has a tactical purpose. Chip away at cover, blow holes in walls, deform the terrain, and bring down entire building façades on enemies.

Ultimate Vehicle Warfare: The signature Battlefield vehicle warfare experience is even richer and more rewarding. Damaged vehicles can now retreat or be defended until they automatically regain armor, while disabled vehicles become static gun platforms to cover players doing repairs.

Accessible Team-Play: Battlefield 3 offers fine-tuned team-play possibilities and accessibility for newcomers. Team-play is key for players to reach dominance on the battlefield.

Personalized Dog Tags: Players can express their individuality with their own dog tag that gets displayed to defeated enemies. Players choose a design with a dynamically tracked in-game stat that expresses their personality and play-style.

The Physical Battlefield: Use the environment to your advantage. Deploy your machine gun bipods on any mountable surface for greater accuracy. Claim the dog tag of enemies via skillful knife takedowns. Lay down suppressive fire to limit the combat capabilities of enemies.

Enhanced Persistence: There is always a new rank or reward to unlock in Battlefield 3. The depth and vast range of unlockable weapons, vehicles, upgrades, and tools will keep Battlefield 3 players occupied for years to come.[/spoiler]

    The 60mm Morter looks interesting if’s it’s not fixed.

    Figure if you can learn how to pre-sight your inpact points in a pregame with help of a spotter, then you rain down indirect fire on the sniper sweet spots or helo pads from cover behind of a building or hill.

    I tend to prefer playing engineer or medic, my shooter skills are pretty good but not good enough to be up on the front line.

    I own Black Ops! yes, a shock right? not really. I played the campaign and thought it was decent. My major problem with COD is the fact that I always have bad connection. Every other multiplayer run just fine, but when I get on Black Ops it seems like my PS3 swallowed dog poop. Kill cam doesn’t lie. For a well established franchise you think they could upgrade their matchmaking system, but It seems they won’t bother. I don’t hate Activision for making profit, because they have the right to. I just dislike publishers who capitalize on selling DLC instead of releasing a proper patch for a vital component. Despite the media frenzy over EA war of comments, DICE have always provided us with something different. Some might argue that their games are not as good looking as Activision’s, or don’t run in 60fps, but hell they have an outstanding matchmaking system and a flawless gameplay. I support DICE because DICE care.
