There should be a colon and then quotes around the second line but I got it...

 

[TheMailMan78]

I hope this game has a proper M14 or M21 in it along with the 1911. If not Ill be a lil disappointed.

PSM3 Scans Of Battlefield 3: Multiplayer Class System Revealed And Much More

Thursday, June 23, 2011

Scans of PSM3 have just come in and BF3 looks better then ever. In these scans we learn a bit more of the multiplayer class system, also that DICE's biggest competition isnt MW3 but rather a bigger threat.

BF3 is shaping up to be a great modern shooter, with months still to go for the dev's wonder what else they can announce in the coming months to surprise us.

Scan 1 - Scan 2 - Scan 3 - Scan 4 - Scan 5 - Scan 6 - Scan 7 - Scan 8

How many have noticed that the recon class no longer gets a Ghillie suit?

 

[1Kurgan1]

WEll they are Recon after all, not Sniper. And now they are gaining prone, and seems more more Urban maps, so the grassy camo would be a bit out of place.

I wouldn't be surprised if part of the new customization was camo selection. nothing crazy, but it would be cool to have to select a camo that works for the particular map our playing.

You get a t-shirt and a spandex/polyester underlayer. Like a boss.

Another great week for Battlefield is now on the books, filled with great events, awards, and a few other surprises, giving us some extra goodies as we officially enter into summer. Now let’s get to the details in this week’s Battlefield Highlights of the Week!

We kicked off the week with a photo gallery on our Facebook Page, showcasing some of the sights of the Dreamhack Summer 2011 Digital Festival as Battlefield 3 took to the show floor. Throughout the festival, some of the lucky attendees were able to jump in on the Dreamhack demo for Battlefield 3, allowing them to get a first taste of what to expect, while being able to chat with the fine folks from DICE about anything they could think of. Take a look at the image below, and for the full gallery, visit Battlefield on Facebook!



The “Best Of” E3 awards keep coming in, and Battlefield 3 now has over 40 wins! We’ve managed to nab the “Best of E3 2011” award from Yahoo! Games; GamerRevolution has awarded us as “Best of E3” while winning multiple awards from sites like The BitBag, GameSpy and GamingExcellence.com. Attack of the Fanboy gave us its “Best of E3 PC” award, and we’ve even won the “Most Gracious Technological Excellence” award from What If Gaming. Heck, Battlefield 3 also won GameSpot's Reader's Choice award for "Game of the Show" and X-Play named Battlefield 3 as its “Best Shooter” of E3 2011 in its Best of E3 awards show this past week!

YouTube User XCMpanda created this slick video montage using footage from Battlefield: Bad Company 2. This video showcases XCMpanda’s skill in multiplayer, as the team goes through a few multiplayer matches. Better yet, XCMpanda included a full recap of the gameplay and the team’s progress as seen in the video itself, adding some great context to the festivities. Take a look for yourself in the embedded video below!

Jaap is a 66 year-old retiree. He has a simple house, and a lovely garden he tends to during the days, while keeping busy with other activities during his retirement. He’s keeping things simple and is enjoying life, but when the sun goes down, a whole new world of hurt comes a-callin’. Jaap is an avid gamer, or more specifically, a fan of Battlefield: Bad Company 2. As you’ll see in this video, Jaap may be 66 years old, but he’s ready to fight on the Battlefield with the best of them. Need proof? Take a look at this YouTube video from yorantenbrinke telling his story!

DeviantArt user bfg-dayjay created this simple, yet apt wallpaper featuring the various classes from Battlefield: Bad Company 2. As you’ll see, it shows all of the boys ready for combat in a very classic and clean design, using some great use of smoke effects and slick placement of the BFBC2 logo.

Another great piece of fan art comes from DeviantArt, this time from user davidtrundley. This time around, we’ve got a hand-painting featuring a featureless soldier ready to put down some noob on the Battlefield. Take a look.

At one point i was thinking about getting this game on PS3.



I know i have a few of them, they're just not organized or in one specific place sadly.

Oh lordy you should see my computer parts cupboard. Looks like the Tsunami aftermath.
Take me 10 15 minutes just to weed thru crap.

 

[Ross211]

Please add me, maybe I can get in this one :~P

I pre-ordered a few weeks ago, can't wait for October 25.

 

[TheLaughingMan]

Wait. Doesn't that mean the Recon (Guy who is suppose to be hiding and a sneaky little bugger) will stand out more than the 3 other classes who all have camo? Isn't that kinda retarded or is that just me?

I fully agree. REAYTH and I were just talking about this yesterday. They should just make him look like a normal solider with just less stuff on. Maybe a hat turned backward due to looking down optics but thats it.

Here is the pic from the PSM showing the classes. Sniper looks a little darker than the others.
Taking away the ghillie suit is obviously part of balancing the sniper prone in the distance. This and having shiny scope flash. I thought they were going to have to do some sort of infrared or heat vision scope to counteract it.
We'll have to see how it works out in the beta.

So the Engineer now looks like the Media guy. So is the Support suppose to be the one with the med packs etc? I'm so used to BC2 I'm forgetting what is who is the Battlefield series. If Support is the one with the med packs then at least he is not like BC2 and has the red hat on that helps him stand out in the middle of everyone.

 

[TheLaughingMan]

I love how every posted the picture I was talking about like...no that just wasn't helpful at all actually.

Back to my point. If we fight in a desert, where the most used color will be tan/light brown, everyone but Recon will blend in a little. They are all wearing light brown and tan, while Recon is where dark ass green. <- That is just not smart so he might as well be wearing a bright red shirt with "kill me I am the Sniper douche" on it. At least that would be kinda funny.

Why can't he look more like this guy, but with the balaclava.

Why is recon green, surely you'd want recon to not stand out?

I agree, but maybe also have the option at a later level like 30+ to have the Ghillie-suit available as a Kit addon taking place of like vehicle perk or something. Also thermal scopes and such would be perfect especially on the night maps. Remember Devil's Perch from BF2 Special Forces? Thermal Vision would be perfect. Grappling hook too!

How about just a regular GI. Just with less stuff on?

I can live with that too. I didn't see the earlier post where somebody had made the same point. Anything other than "F%^* Recon, they don't need body armor or a real shirt."

I will be Recon for life. Hide or Die!

Seriously, I believe there are suppose to be purely cosmetic items, so maybe we will get all these options.

Seeing as they will be prone about 3/4 of the time now they will be hard to hit.
Maybe that is part of the balancing of the class ? I see the assault is also medic now.
I think these classes may take some getting used to, but we will end up liking them.

The kits are from BF2142. This will take exactly 0 seconds for me to get use to the kits. Hell I could probably accurately guess every gun unlock for each kit if I had a general idea of the guns being picked from. Getting use to the play system is a different story.

 

[Conti027]

Do we know if the knife is a equip-able weapon? I like the way they did it in BC2.

 

[TheMailMan78]

The rumor I have been feeling out is the expansion to this one will be 2143 like Vietnam was to BC2. Now the kits are throwing back to that makes me think. We will see.
