BattleField 3

I would, but you have to unlock all the items so I'm still seeing what we got but some more observations:

  • Flashlights seem too work a little too well. I've been blinded in sunny areas with the light only loosely aimed at me. I feel they need to tone down the effectiveness outside of directly shining it in my face.
  • Lots of falling thru the map issues. Find an impact crater, start fussing with prone and good chance you'll be under the map firing at confused opponents. But it's beta, so these things happen.
  • Seems each team has a different set of guns, similar to what CS does.Your side arms and universal guns will be there, but your class specific ones may switch.
  • There are 3 things to level that give you unlocks: Rank, Class, Gun. Each will grant different unlocks. Rank will give you perks and weapons that can be used universally. Class will give you new access to class specific items and weapons. Gun will give you accessories specific to JUST that gun. This means there's a TON of shit to unlock and you have a lot of control over load outs
  • MGs have a tripod that by scoping while near a flat surface or prone, will instead deploy it, root you to that position, and basically make you a very accurate turret (well accurate for a full auto Machine Gun).
  • Seems to be a lot of diversity with guns so you wont feel like "this is the MG class" and "that's the Assault Rifle class". If you like a certain advantage of a class, you have options with different types of weapons
  • Grenades can be seen through walls as an orange outline
  • Guns sometimes have a toggle for different gun fire mode. I was using an RPK with a 3.4x scope and casually alternating between single shot and full auto based on my range and surroundings. Very helpful actually
  • Arrows seem to float higher than in BF2, be aware when firing at a tagged opponent you cant see well, such as through smoke.
  • Guns can equip flashlights and lasers that can be toggled on and off. Both can be used to blind an opponent.
  • The Recon class has an item that can be dropped to become a new 'deploy' location, making it ideal when on the frontlines and you dont want to risk losing your footing as a drop anchor by fighting.
  • When revived you start with your sidearm out in prone. You are not immediately revived even after you see this. You must hit a button to confirm(or start firing i think?), or hold an assigned button for a few seconds to skip the revive and respawn on your own.
  • Spawning on an ally puts you in the same prone/crouch/standing position they are in. This has been both helpful and annoying.
  • Gun customization has generally 3 slots, one dedicated to just visual (scopes, etc...). So in total you have 3 class perks/gadgets and 3 weapon accessories. There are perks for vehicles too but I haven't gotten those yet. Point is there's a LOT of customization.

    EX:
    My support class:
    • class slot 1 - ammo box
    • class slot 2 - nothing yet
    • class slot 3 - added sprint speed

    Gun LMG (i think)
    • gun slot 1 - 3.4x scope
    • gun slot 2 - foregrip
    • gun slot 3 - heavy barrel

I didnt mean you compile your own list I meant find the a list that got released because I was to lazy to find it myself. This is the list I was talking about so you dont have to make this list yourself.

Yeah flashlights shouldnt work in the day and your allies flashlight also shouldnt blind but it does sometimes.

Are you saying that bf3 has Tactical Insertions? Really?

Any word on when they are gonna let us play a vehicle map?

I would like conquest and thats it really. Ugh I hate rush so much but yet I'm playing it like mad cause I need my BF3 fix.
