Complete list of Battlefield 3 weapons (confirmed)

A complete, official list of all the confirmed weapons in Battlefield 3.

Solid_Snake-4649d ago (Edited 4649d ago )

think a lot of these weapons need moving around. showing assaults in support and snipers in support.

correct me if i am wrong

EDIT: some weapons have been miss spelt and also what is the M27 IAR doing in light machine gun.

also 2 types of p90???????

Elwenil4649d ago

The M27 IAR (Infantry Automatic Rifle)is a replacement to the M249 SAW and is considered a light machine gun. It's not much different than the other assault rifle based LMG platforms.

The P90 TR is a triple rail equipped P90 that will probably come into play with the accessories available for unlock in the game.

lil Titan4648d ago

how many scopes are there? and i cant find some of the ones i searched on google. all i really want to know is there a scope that switches from the red dot to 4x scope in BF3?

Dee_914648d ago (Edited 4648d ago )

that entire carbine list is incredible
looks like the mane category il be using

i literally can not wait
i rented bf2 and it was the only multiplayer that brought me in like the old COD did
I didnt even do the SP i just did multiplayer for months
I was going to buy it but I said il just for bf3

Spitfire_Riggz4649d ago

Portable anti air launchers!! I guess with the amped up air threat we need a way to counteract it!

Orpheus-Telos4649d ago

Yup, would be kinda hard shooting down planes/helicopters with an Assault Rifle or even a Handgun. xD

xYLeinen4649d ago

i could not be more happy with the amount of weapons..

Miiikeyyy4648d ago

I'm quite surpised, There's way more than I expected :o

iamnsuperman4649d ago (Edited 4649d ago )

There is a lot of weapons here (more than most games).I just wished there were more (like hundreds). Never going to happen in games but I can still dream

on a small note where is the MP5. Its pretty standard for modern shooters

CRUCIALxTHREAT4648d ago

MP5 are pretty out of date now. Just because it is in CoD doesn't mean it is being used a lot still. See MP7

iamnsuperman4648d ago (Edited 4648d ago )

I actually looked around about this and apparently the UMP is the successor to the MP5 while the MP7 was made to rival the P90 and to be used as either a pistol or a sub machine gun

The MP5 may be old but it was a sub machine gun should be. Able to kill but not go through somebody. Look at Wiki list for who uses it. It is old but to ignore it is a little odd because it is a very well used weapon. To say it is not used a lot is an understatement (85 different countries)

rabidpancakeburglar4649d ago

I hope to god that the shotguns won't be able to shoot so damn far in this as they could in BC2

one2thr4649d ago

Actually a slug round can travel those distances, but tend to be less accurate and buck shots (pellets) can travel quiet a distance as well, but distance and power and accuracy decrease greatly after 60 yards ( If I'm remembering it correctly)

rabidpancakeburglar4649d ago

Well I've been shot from some pretty damn far distances(with seemingly good accuracy) with what is supposed to be a close quarters weapon so I'm not a fan of that kind of realism.

one2thr4649d ago

Lol yeah I know what you mean, I myself have given so called "snipers" headshots from great distances especially with the Neostag (that weird lookin shot gun) or the Spaz-12

Sheikah4649d ago

Yup. Saw some weapon demonstrations where they told fact from fiction. opposite to common belief, shotgun pellets do *not* magically vanish when they travel longer than 50 metres ;)

DanSolo4648d ago

Yeh I have had people shoot and kill me with a single shot from half way across the map with a shotgun... just not possible in real life as the power is gone from that type of round!

The other day I went shotgun recon for a change of pace and I was finding that I was getting some pretty easy kills from a distance with the shotgun and it really didn't feel right..... still I happily ran around taking advantage of it though!

Rearden4649d ago

Agreed. Sniping with shotguns across the map was retarded in BC2

meshuganeh4649d ago

I was really hoping for the Israeli Tavor TAR-21. Oh well

Well, anything to make those shareholders happy, I guess. They're all that matters in this industry nowadays.

EA stocks haven't been profitable in over 5yrs. They better hope Take-two don't get the FIFA license lol.

I wonder what the next buzz word they'll slap in front of AI to make it sound exciting next? "Generative" as if it's creating its own content. Lol.

Cacabunga62d ago

EA is already dying a painful death..

peppeaccardo62d ago

i have a better idea .. why the whole exec team doesn't get replaced by chat bots ?

just_looken63d ago

Though i agree the ai thing is already in other forms of media there have been ai translations/scripts/voice over and even full ai commercials aired on tv. Ubisoft has created a ai game creator story/vo/music except the building of the game

The new unreal engine has auto terrain creation tools

In the world of greed in which it is winning without any major blow back ai is our future.

everyone want's biden dead on the mic or a criminal instead of a woman and now we are getting ai everything because no one will stop watching/playing ai created media.

GamerRN62d ago

Maybe they should just focus on making good games?

Just a thought...

Kiryu199262d ago

Exactly EA are just pure evil. When they are beating Bank of America to be voted the worst company to work for that’s saying a lot

Good thing I don’t buy their games day one and wait for deep deep sale years after launch (the select few games I am actually interested in)

Gaming is making so much money yet the greed of these companies is never ending

CEO’s and people on board making millions yet cutting jobs to those who are actually making the products

EA is still a shady shitty company even with or without the help of Skynet. All they will use AI for is new ways to milk loot boxes and come up with the same sports title with a different year on the label. They are one company I truly do hate with a passion. They single handedly ruined some great franchise with their death touch. ME, Dead Space, Alice Returns, Dante's Inferno.

Stuart575663d ago

EA layoffs followed by 'Generative AI to Drive Monetization'

I knew it. Wonder what AI salary looks like? Nothing.

ChasterMies62d ago

I having a feeling that most of the layoffs in the industry are based on the idea that AI will do the same job for less.

DarXyde62d ago

Very likely, yes.

Made worse by the fact that the execs aren't changing their compensations.

My deepest fear at this point is that we are now in the capitalism endgame.

At this point, we really should just burn AI to the ground. Executives cannot be trusted to do the right thing.
How are those people expected to support families if everything gets automated?

Barlos63d ago (Edited 63d ago )

And take away creativity, and people's jobs as we've been seeing. Got it.

No thanks. I want my games created by people, not AI.

CobraKai63d ago

Exactly. If or when games start becoming more AI than people, im done with gaming. AI and companies like EA can suck donkey d***k.

just_looken63d ago

Though i agree remember this is no ps3/360 era were we got up to 3 games in one generation from on developer like gears/halo/bioware/sony/ms

The people today are pro esg/sweet baby for the most part AAA gaming is imploding right now.

We should be stepping back re evaluate everything as a whole this year xmen 97 written/directed by a woman that is nuts and its also being made by a group reshaping bodies to be less sexual like wtf. A dam famous cartoon from the 90's is being rebuilt with millions spent to be worse in everyway.

Gaming/movies/tv shows made today are worse than what we had 7years ago ai won't change this but that ai is also being made by these groups so either way we are screwed.

Eonjay62d ago

Don't be of afraid of women. Sexy characters in games and movies still exist. Got my Stellar Blade on preorder!!! Everything all the time doesn't need to be sexual...that's stupid, childish and dull.

Chocoburger62d ago (Edited 62d ago )

EA doesn't want to lose their title of worst gaming company ever, always trying their best to remain the champs!
What's sad is that they have so much potential to be a decent publisher.

SSX Tricky / SSX 3
Def Jam Vendetta / Fight for New York
NBA Street
NFL Steet
Mirror's Edge
Bad Company
Burnout 3 / 4 / 5

Remember when EA used to be awesome? It's all over with now. Unpolished, if not out-right broken games these days. Endless monetization and gambling in their sports games, and let's not forget wasting hours of your life trying to unlock characters or equipment using "surprise boxes!"
