Battlefield 3 Multiplayer: 10 Things You Need To Know

OXM UK: "Battlefield 3 multiplayer details are now as prevalent as falling buildings in Bad Company 2, thanks to an E3 demo. We've got a two page preview lurking in issue 75, on sale 7th July, but that's like, over a fortnight away. Here are 10 gobbets of mission-crucial data in advance."

hell yeah!

"3. Vehicles take regional damage

You can now target the treads or turrets on tanks, APCs and the like, for a more calculating take on anti-vehicular warfare. On the flipside, this gives drivers more options when they're up against it. If you lose mobility, you might be able to fend off attackers with the mounted gun till help arrives."

I can't wait to play this!!

[firemassacre]

i wonder if you can shoot out tires?

[2fk]

that would be awesome!!!

[curtis_boy]

I wish you all gamed on pc's it would be so fun and epic! lol I love my ps3 but PC is the definitive choice for BF3

All a pc needs is a decent graphics card a good processor and a 500w+ power supply and your good to go!
Any computer running vista or windows 7 supports dx11 and should have at least 4 - 8 gb of ram.

You can use ps3 and 360 controllers!
I dont use kb + m either I use the ps3 controller

this is the best guide to show you pc gaming is not expensive http://i1002.photobucket.co...

@curtis_boy that is getting old BUT thank you cause im thinking of buying a gaming pc and this helps a lot.
OT:Sniper can hold their breath : ouuuu nice nice niceeee just keeps getting better and better

It sounds weird, but the thing I'm most excited about is the engineer flashlight. Read a preview where the guy mistook a player for a standing spotlight. LOL.

[Terarmzar]

Sniping is no longer a walk in the park, or even a crouch in the long grass. You'll need to hold a button to clench your lungs for optimum accuracy.

Thank you! maybe now there wont be so many running around, unless they still have the VSS Sniper rifle with a normal scope or shot guns throwing sensors everywhere.

[DeadlyFire]

Won't be as many are you kidding. They are certainly going to put this to the test. I myself love run and gun sniping. :P VSS isn't my style though I like stealthy one/2 shot kills.

[captain-obvious]

it looks like this writer's first BF is actually BC2
lol

[M1chl]

I actually don't need to know anything, because there is Battlefield 3 everywhere. Its like that only one game comes out...

[HaMM4R]

When it says your gun will have 3 attachment slots it probably means a barrel attachment(look at the flash hider in the physical warfare pack) An underslung attachment (nade lancher/ flashlight) and a sight. (acog, holo, reflex, red dot. etc) And where it says on PC it will most likely be the same case for consoles also.

[MWong]

Yea I think it will be pretty much as you described or maybe instead of a nade launcher a hand grip.

1. I still don't like the medic and assault class combining to make a class.
2. I can see a lot of people mainly running as the support class now.
3. Vehicle regional damage seems awesome, the thought of firing a AT rocket/missile at a tanks treads and knocking it off the tracks. NICE touch!!!
4. Dunno how I will like this one yet.
5. Nice touch with the dog tags ... I just hope they fix the count & tracking system.
6. Interesting twist for sniping if you want to get that perfect shot.
