Yeah man, and I write scam emails all the time.

It's only 7 bucks for 2 hours, and I get $10/h at my landscaping job. So in one hour of landscaping I get enough to play for 2 hours and buy a drink. I am saving up for a car and computer though.

Wonder if BF3 pistols are any good. It they add sway to the weapons, maybe we won't have people getting hit by a sniper rifle then a follow up from 1 pistol shot across the map.

Wow, that's just dumb.


It would be cheaper in the long run to just save your money.

I also find it sad that I work my ass off every day and make less than shifty does. How the fuck does that work.

Well you see Rukus, I have friends, and we like to have a good time gaming together, except none of us have computers capable of running COD4. So we hop on in the car and drive down to the "Armory" where there's 30 computers we can waste a few hours of the day on.

Sure the bill slowly grows, but in the mean time the memories are totally worth it. But heck no, Rukus thinks it's stupid and so I will wait many months until I can afford a PC; and then HOPE that my friends can get one too at the same time.

and yeah I have three jobs, it's freaking easy to get a job here.

I wish I could have a life where everything was handed to me.


Goddamn pansy.

By the way does anyone know if there will be player perks? I fucking hate player perks.

We have well over 50 weapons in Battlefield 3. But each weapon in itself can be tailored to wildly differing play styles and combat roles. Read on for the full details on our deepest weapon customization ever.

Two weeks ago, we detailed the general design philosophy behind the gun play in Battlefield 3 together with Senior Designer Alan Kertz. Today, we are delving deeper into the thousands of weapon customization options you will have in the game.


Basically, each main weapon in the game has three accessory slots, where you can attach weapon accessories you have unlocked. Weapon accessory unlocks are received on a per weapon basis, meaning that the more time you spend with a particular weapon, the more options you will have to customize that weapon to fit different your combat role and play style.

A rifle in Battlefield 3 can be customized for wildly different combat roles. The carbine directly below has been equipped with a heavy barrel, bipod, and a 4X magnification combat scope. This would be ideal for a soldier who wants to engage targets at medium to long range and use suppressive fire to support his team mates.

In the picture above, the same carbine has instead been equipped with a suppressor, foregrip, and quick acquisition holographic scope. This setup would be well suited for Close Quarters Battle, especially indoors where stealth can be a vital factor.

The unlockable weapon accessories include an assortment of optics, suppressors, bipods, barrels, underslung grenade launchers, underslung shotguns, foregrips, flashlights, laser sights, and more.


While the class and model of your weapon will determine a number of basic values (like muzzle speed, energy, and fire rate), you can always modify it to tweak it towards anything from long range to close quarters combat.

So. Are you a long range sniper or a close quarters combat type of player? The neat thing is, in Battlefield 3, you can easily switch between both. With our powerful weapon customization features, there are no limits to the types of gameplay we support.

So will assault and engineer both have access to suppressors?

i'm guessing everybody will have access to the suppressor.

How does everybody feel about suppressed snipers and LMGs?

Kind of nullifies the point of having them at all tbh.  And can you even suppress lmgs in RL?

Anything is possible. The guys on the discovery channel with the tv show called "Sons of Guns" suppressed a MK19. So why not? All i silencer is is just a tube to better filter the blast of the weapon so the gasses don't erupt out, instead it kinda flows out.
