Awesome stuff
No m14 Mod 0 enhanced
(((((
but…but….. single shot rifle was amazing!!!!
I’m sadzorz
((
There’s an upgrades version of it with a sniper scope
and all (that was available to be used in the Alpha) the sniper rifles are available without the scope attached!
Who needs the m14 when you have a Simonov
Yeah, the SKS is essentially an infantry rifle, so that works. Makes me wonder how far it will shoot compared to the other sniper rifles though, since it shoots the AK-47 bullet (which is not known for very long range capabilities).
You can just use the upgraded sniper version and remove the sniper scope.
Havent you heard? You can play BF3 YOUR WAY.
Those sad about no M14: You will be able to select the fire rate on many guns, so set it to single shot! Also you have the SKS and another battle rifle, which will satisfy your thirst for M14′s style.
lol making your day now, the M39 is the name for the M-14 EMR “Enhanced marksmen rifle”, now as they are listing it and making it the sniper rifle version of the M-14 instead of the M-14 “EBR” “enhance battle rilfe” =)
the M39 is just like the M14 lol, just looks different with the scope that’s on it i believe, but it should be the same caliber.
Yes, the M39 is what the USMC calls the M14 EBR. It is literally the same gun with a different name.
try the SKS in the it is a lot like it
You can still change rate of fire to single.
it ok most of the guns have a feature to make em semi auto matic
doesnt matter cos u can switch between semi auto and full auto
Oh my… This is awesome:)
Good job bf3blog!
AWESOME!
yes here we go!!!!!!!! something new and exciting!!!!
Someone needs to make a slideshow of all the weapons.
I am currently working on one, which should be complete in the next week or so.
MORTAR???? Realy?
i hope so
*reads list* AWESOME!
*ready mortar* The almighty weapon of the wookies is back :/ At least the others are good.
*reads claymore* FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU…!!!
What makes you think the mortar is not actually a deployable weapon that you have to aim and shoot with? It could very well be (See BF:Vietnam) I dont think it will be the crazy BC2 solution with binoculars.
i was thinking the same thing. deployable mortar ftw.
i was thinking the same thing. deployable mortar ftw.
the 60mm mortar IS deployable.Claymores dont explode if crouching or proning so it is balanced out.
WAT KINDA BULL IS THAT?! So if your prone or crouched ur suddenly undetectable to everything but a human eye now? Come on.. do you have any confirmation from DICE on this absurdity?
It’s in BFBC2. Don’t know why this surprises you
anti tank mines no claymore
Yeedawgz, i am not sure if i understand you… Claymores didn’t exist in BFBC2 only AT mines. but thats not the same thing.
Or you’re talking about Mortars? oh we are not surprised, we just hate them.
In BFBC2 itd called a mortor strike, and those are 120mm in the mortor strikes description. In this list it says its a 60mm mortor. So i believe its like the one from the original BF Vietnam(Not Bad Companys) Think this info means anything?
sry i spelt mortar wrong every time… my bad.
I’m going to pretend you were trying to spell Mordor instead of mortar.
So in Battlefield 3, the recon kit gets a Mordor strike. Fuck yeah.
wich class is going to have the mortar
medic ¬¬
Rly? I thought it was the Engineer class, that would be able to use the mordor strike. But how is it going to be used? Is it like in BFBC2-like?
many ugly weapons… liked the one of bc2 more
What’re you talking about? Many of the guns were in BC2. The images are just icons from Battlelog. You know the guns in the game will look better, right?
Yeah, and the weapons in BC2 actually looked really cartoonish/toyish compared to BF3
i don’t see the SCAR listed… am i being really stupid or not?
yes i am – i was looking under sub-machine
bc2 n00b i am…
the SCAR-H is under carbines
Which I dont get exactly. shouldnt the scar l be a carbine, and the scar h an ar?
you would think so, unless they are calling it a carbine because it is the CQC variant with the shorter 13″ barrel
I agree, the SCAR H should be moved up into the assault rifles and the 416 should be moved down into the carbines.
Both the SCAR H and SCAR L are automatic rifles. SCAR means Special Forces Combat Assault Rifle [Light, or Heavy].
gotta love a good old’ handy carbine and a shotty combo with a side of kicking ass.
Look under carbines
I see all of the classes have 6 weapons 3 US/Allies and 3Russ/Etc
Except for Medics with 7 must be the t88 extra from the DLC/Preorder content
& Assault with 9…. Not sure where the 3 extras fit in could they be Veteran Class Weapons and or could it be an error and the 2 others be slotted for “Battle Rifle” Status?
Well they could be polyfaction.
Unlocks in BF2 were.
God dammit I’m dumb.
Forgot to change the name back.
i guess it’s because assault rifles are more common like when you see the USMC, their standard issue is an m16 or m4 with multiple attachments. Maybe also because it’s the main marksman a multi role weapon that when you switch firing mode to semi-auto you can put a sniper scope on. More reliable and stable.
YES! I’ve always wanted the Scar-H in a bf game… DICE, I love you.
*Brain Overload*
But I do see an M40A3 Sniper. Please god, no quickscoping…
When Snipers sit in 1 spot, people whine they camp too much.
When Snipers do so-called “Quick Scope” people whine about Quick Scoping. Quick Scoping haters do realize that Snipers can’t go around with the Tunnel Vision from Scopes 24/7 in-game right?
Personally I’d rather move around than sit in a corner and wait for someone to walk by. If that means I use my scope the moment I see an opponent, then that’s just how it is. It’s really not that different from what Assault Rifles do you know, it just provides more Zoom. Are we playing CoD or BF?
In my mind there was always a difference between quickscoping and scoping in quickly and firing. What always annoyed me about MW2 was that quickscoping correctly gave you a huge accuracy AND speed boost. I don’t think that’s going to be the case in Battlefield. It’s more scoping in quickly than quickscoping. But meh, whatevs. I don’t find it that annoying.
or get a semi auto rifle with 4x and help your team.
Well, quickscoping has been hated on due to the fact that in MW2, the accuracy plus the speed plus the fatality of one bullet equaled mass uprising. Black Ops tried its best to nullify it, but there are some cracks in the stone. DICE will most likely listen to the community and find a way to make quickscoping obsolete, like say slower zoom-in time and delayed scope steadying…I personally don’t mind snipers sitting around ’cause that’s their job as a sniper. I just hope BF3 won’t be like COD, buy and regret.
Also, from the looks of your comment, it seems like you’re more of an assault person rather than a sniper…you like to move around instead of sit still. Assault would be best for you IMO.
It’s a M40A5, let’s hope there’s a big difference from the A3
The only difference between the A3 and A5 is the addition of a Badger Ordinance trigger guard, permitting use of detachable magazines, and a new Schmidt & Bender scope, as opposed to the Unertl/US Optics MST-100. I can assume that the only reason the A5 is in the game and not the A3, is that all of the other sniper rifles have detachable magazines, whereas the M40A3 has to be loaded one round at a time, through the chamber, and into the internal magazine. It should be a dominant weapon in the hands of the skilled sniper, as it is one of, if not the most accurate of the bunch (In real life of course, game physics is another story)
Someone always has to dislike… why?
i will be ok with quick scoping (no, im not a cod butt buddy) as long as you can´t use acog´s and othes low poered scopes on it (because that´s retarded), and it really takes skill to do, like sgt. emigma´s quick scope kills!
*as long as you cant use acogs and other low powered scopes on the sniper rifles*
You can detach any scope from sniper rifles, so hoping to see no quick scoping in at close range is futile.
@kelleroid yes, but in bad company 2 they made some things unrealistic to balance gameplay, why can´t they just do it as well for the snipers to have no acogs to balance the gameplay in bf3? it was so annoying in bc2 when noobs who couldn´t use original scope used either acog or red dot (even more retarded) to quick scope… it was overpowered because it was so easy to quick scope with acogs! i wish noob wookies just learned to play like sgt. enigma. if you don´t know who that is, check him out on youtube; http://www.youtube.com/user/KingKumaForever . he is insanely good.
How about removing the scope altogether and only having a laser sight?
Or is this just for me to dream about xD
^ I don’t know if you can put a laser sight on a sniper but you can take off the scope. Your not the one who wants to look bada** with an unscoped sniper rifle…especially with the M39 Mosin-Nagant in the game (Veteran I’m guessing…?).
^ Sorry, I’m thinking of the wrong M39. Ignore the Mosin-Nagant bit. It’s really the M39 DMR I guess…
What about using low power scopes for easier medium-to-close-range SUPPORT as a good recon should?
Besides, quick-scoping in !badcompany is nullified because sniper-rifles cannot instant bodyshot kill a 100% health guy at all.
Unless the Recon has motion sensors or some other cool spotting enhancement feature he would turn into Sniper and no real teamplayer would have a need to play him.
.
.

(!badcompany means “not badcompany”)
SCAR was in bf2 actually, as a Special Forces class unlock…
Thank you for reminding me… I remember now. I was so used to seeing that gun in CoD so much that I completely forgot!
@avalanchefan
Actually you can remove scope and put tactical laser on it.
That was the Scar-L, I think he mentioned the Scar-H.
It was the SCAR – L in BF2 ive only ever seen the SCAR – H in call of duty 6, but theres going to be a scar in BF3 nonetheless so im happy, great AR
i have heard that sniper rifles will do 75% damage up close to prevent people from quick scoping…
That may be the single best idea I have ever heard …. won’t stop me from trying but then again quick scoping should be a tool not a play style …. a panic button
Bro it’s the M40A5 which is really the Cheytec M200 Intervention in MW2… plus this is BF not Cod…. grrrr i wish people would stop complaining. Comparing BF and Cod is like comparing Pie and Cake, sure you have apple pie and jewish apple cake but they are two different things.
the M40A5 is not ANYWHERE close to the intervention.
Ok dude time to get schooled on guns the intervention is known as the cheytech m200, the m40 is the father of the m24 the difference is the m40s bullet is about a 10th of a inch skinnier but far more suited to a game since I really doubt we’ll sniping anything over about 1200 hundred yards widest point to widest point
who cares if theres quickscoping its not like bfbc2 anymore were you could i shot i kill up close, it takes to shots now
Battlefield 2: Special Forces had a Scar-H -.-
Actually, the SCAR-H was available for the US in the BF2 Special Forces expansion. Though I guess that doesn’t quite count.
Anyone know what the M26 flag round is? A quick Google search didn’t bring up anything too helpful.
look up M26 Mass – its a underbarrel weapon attachment that shoots shot gun, and other rounds. uses a clip and can also be used as a stand alone weapon
Yeah, I’m familiar with the M26. It’s the flag round specifically I’m curious about. I’ve never heard of that.
It’s an error it should read Frag. just checked out the list at another site
Ah, well, that explains my confusion =P Thanks for the clarification!
Fixed the error. Thanks for the heads up.
The m26 is like an M4 if it were a shotgun.
cool mortar
i hope there won´t be people hiding in bushes with the binoculars, watching people like a peophile like in bad company 2… however, the mortars will probably be cool
BARRETT .50 CAL IS HERE BABY
The name for this in BF3 is the M82A3
A semi auto, 10 round, .50 beast of terror.
Sounds like a favorite to me, since the M95 wasn’t to bad.
(No I’m not a bushwookie.)
.50 caliber anything is just awesome.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/84/Rifle_cartridge_comparison_w_scale.png (far left is .50 cal)
I mean, look at that thing! Fucking beast. Shooting someone with one of those just seems mean =P
although its still probably going to take more than 1 bullet to the chest if hardcore mode is turned off.
i wonder how they will balance the gameplay with a semi-auto 50 cal sniper
by sticking a giant beam of light to a sniper’s face when they look down their scopes. seriously, it looks like a motorcycle headlight
Oh.My.God.
I cannot wait to do that!! That’ll teach trigger-happy semi-auto sniper newbies.
by making the .50 cal actually fire skittles … I’m serious in BC2 I domed a guy in the head , huge blood fountain, and he turns to me and just mowed me down
They said the M82 isn’t in multiplayer as of yet, because of balancing issues!
BF3blog, you forgot to add the AK47M.
Nvm, I was looking at carbines… not assault rifles. *facepalm*
Interesting to see the ASVAL in assault and not Recon
The ASVAL is another name for the VSS from BC2. I google’d it a couple minutes ago.
Well, it seems you google’d wrong.
Val and VSS are a little different. The difference is small, and is mostly visual, but there is. Val uses different ammo (SP-6 instead of SP-5) and has a smaller effective range, but has double default mag size.
under LMG is M240 not m40
What about vehicles?
Keep up the good work guys!
claymore’s yesssss, that will help gaurd the flanks, doors, snipers six’s and set up boobytraps. god i love thiss game and i havent even gotten to play it yet. long live bf3.
I don’t know sh*t about guns, but hell I’m good in shooting whatever is made of iron!
Sorry mate, everything these days is aircraft-grade aluminum and plastic.
dont forget wood
too bad most new guns are crappy composites and plastics:(
The All mighty Claymore is finally here! And my shottys..heheh
I hope the claymore has more of a delay than CoD: Black Cocks. Once you see it, your dead. I want to have a little reaction time. The claymore on MW2 seemed to be pretty balanced, surprisingly!
I hope it’s more like “You can avoid triggering it” instead of “Trigger and run”. Otherwise it would become totally useless (who forgot about levelling the camper spot).
In the final patch for bf2 you could prone and go right past a claymore. But it should have more of a delay.
Or a system from BF2142, where you could just crawl in front of the mine for it to become harmless.
No love for the M14 or old school guns? Lame.
There is a M39 found on the EA list which is just the marines numbering for the M14 EBR
I thought the M39 was the Mosin-Nagan…oops my bad.
M39 is pretty much a DRM not EBR…
“M39 Enhanced Marksman Rifle”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M39_Enhanced_Marksman_Rifle
EBR = Enhanced Battle Rifle
EMR = Enhanced Marksman Rifle
DMR = Designated Marksman Rifle
aka, the M39 is a sniper rifle, NOT a battle rifle/ Assault Rifle.
it’s a shame. I always loved the M14 since the M16 is junk compaired to it. smaller bullet, less range, and one of the speculations of the move to the m16 was polictal..
I would take the M14 over an M16 any day but that doesn’t mean the M16 isn’t a good gun on it’s own.
I wanted a full auto M14, but guess that isn’t going to happen.
Battle Rifle M14 > M14 DMR/ M39 EMR IMHO
There IS a full-auto function on military-grade M14s. The problem was that recoil was absurd, and quite frankly, the idea was stupid. It was basically a BAR with no weight(and thus lots of recoil), higher rate of fire(even more recoil), and no compensation system to lessen said recoil.
Oh, and to set the record straight…the SCAR-H is classified as a battlerifle; Like the G3, it is automatic.
“Tacticool” laser attachments are never used on long-range weapons such as sniper rifles and marksman rifles because the laser gives away the sniper’s position. If you feel like getting your ass pounded into next week by concentrated mortar fire, feel free to attach one.
Desert Eagles are usually not issued because the damn thing is too heavy, the gas system gets jammed easily, and the bullets are overkill for its intended purpose(a fallback weapon when you have no time to reload).
the MP7 uses a special Personal Defense Weapon round, 4.6x30mm. It is a direct competitor to the 5.7x28mm round used by the P90 and its cousin, the Five-Seven. As such, the MP7 is not a sub-machine gun, but has the classification of Personal Defense Weapon.
the HK416 comes in a variety of lengths, and as such, cannot be automatically thrown into the “carbine” category as the new M27 Infantry Automatic Rifle being purchased by the Marine Corps is an extended barrel variant of the HK416.
Oh, and using a .50 BMG based snipe-i mean ANTI-MATERIEL rifle is a waste of a good bullet. AM rifles like the Barrett are meant to engage vehicles and explosives; Usage against personnel isn’t wrong, but it usually doesn’t happen.
M40A5… take my money Dice!
You are from BF2 right?
Yes I am a BF2 veteran. I liked the M24, and especially the L96A1 (though I never unlocked it). In COD I used the M40A3, R700 (COD4), Intervention (MW2), and the L96A1 (Black Ops).
So I like bolt action snipers, whatever the game is, COD or BF. In COD I quickscope, in BF I like to take longshots on moving targets (like heli’s). My playstyle is totally different in both games.
m40a3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im just a tad dissapointed at no m24. im a noob hardcore sniper lol. I ONLY snipe in hardcore with my m24. but this will do!
pretty close to the same gun
Hmm why? SV98 has faster cycle/reload and more rounds.
I know, I use the SV98 as my main sniper rifle but some people don’t like the scope. Gotta admit that crosshairs are far better than the stupid triangles.
M24 is my baby also. I only snipe with the m24 in hardcore.
Shit !
I wanted the FAMAS assault rifle included ! best weapons
the famas is a cod weapon,and its weak and horrible like the ak47 and the fal carbine please don’t use these weapons in a bad situation you’ll probably die.
the KH2002 would probably be the BF equivalent to the FAMAS, they look very similar.
I googled that, it looks like a FAMAS crossed with an AUG. Cool.
let me guess, an AR fanboy
let me guess, a Carbine/SMG/LMG/Sniper/Pistol/RPG/Knife fanboy…..
jeeeeeeezzzzus you noobs annoy me. Stop whoring all the guns that i’m not using!
Was in BF2 before Cod. EU forces medic weapon. Get your facts right.
I quite liked it it Rainbow Six.
actually i like all these weapons, i just adjust and play different with each gun, im looking forward to trying all the different attachments for the weapons, changing things again.
Metal Gear Solid is the best reason to like the FAMAS. besides it was in BF2 as has been said.
It will actually be in the game as it is included in the back to karkland pack along with some other awesome weapons
DAMN IT no Desert Eagle
((((
I would have liked the M200 also
MP5 > MP7
Still…..
fkin awesome!!!
call of duty can keep the desert eagle besides who in their right mind would want to use it in a gunfight
Who’d want to use a 6 shot revolver over any other pistol in a real life situation?
Yeah the Deagle would be pretty unruly to use, but I’d rather have that than the Mp-412.
.44 Revolvers are far more useful in a combat situation than a .50 Deagle. I would prefer a side loading one like the .44 magnum from MW2 though. The top break on the Rex looks stupid.
WANT……DEAGLE > MP412
makes me sad
Just saying, but the MP-412 was made to fire a 357 mag round.
Deagles can fire anything from a 357, 44, or .50 AE round.
Desert Eagles can be CHAMBERED for any of the rounds you listed, not fire them. To use a different round other than the one the gun is chambered in requires that you switch out barrel, slide, and internal recoil mechanism for the appropriate parts, a process that can take anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour. In a raging battlefield, could you strip, clean, modify, and refit together a highly delicate and heavy weapon that would jam if even a bit of dirt got stuck in the gas port, while mortars fall around you and stray bullets wizz past you?
Isn’t the T44 the Desert Eagle? Or am I being an idiot?
The T44, as in the Taurus Model 44. Which is a 44 mag revolver.
It’s basically what Colt_Gun described he’d rather have (as opposed to the Deagle), as it does not feature the break open design of the MP-412.
The MP7 is superior to the MP5. It can penetrate kevlar.
wrong the gun is not better , the round is different
wrong the gun is better because it can hold that type of round you are saying as if they have made no progress from 5-7 but they obviously have if it can hold more powerful rounds therefore it is better and a little sexier
- The MP7 has:
- Less recoil
- Has more muzzle energy
- It can also penetrate kevlar (with the ammo only IT uses, note that the MP5 cannot penetrate kevlar AT ALL)
- It is also shorter
- Gun with largest magazine is lighter than lightest variant of the MP5.
- A higher rate of fire
- Largest magazine contains more rounds than MP5s largest magazine (other than Beta C, which is bulky and unreliable as shit anyway, and isn’t really in use by the US military) but it lighter.
- Immediately accepts suppressor (MP5 had to have a specalized variant created)
- The MP7:
- Less recoil
- Has more muzzle energy
- It can also penetrate kevlar (with the ammo only IT uses, note that the MP5 cannot penetrate kevlar AT ALL)
- It is shorter (height)
- Gun with largest magazine is lighter than lightest variant of the MP5.
- A higher rate of fire
- Largest magazine contains more rounds than MP5s largest magazine (other than Beta C, which is bulky and unreliable as shit anyway, and isn’t really in use by the US military) but it lighter.
- Immediately accepts suppressor (MP5 had to have a specialized variant created)
- Has, by default, the range of the statistically best variant of the MP5
Desert Eagles look cool but really are incredibly unreliable anywhere other than a firing range, and sometimes even then. they are notorious for jams, have horrible reliability in the field without constant maintenance if you absolutely must have a totally overkill sidearm you’d be way better off with a 500 revolver.
and only people who know nothing about real firearms think the mp5 is superior to the mp7.
