In this series’ first post, I pointed out the advantage of choosing one or two classes to focus on just after BF3’s release.
Here I’ll go into the Engineer class and what players will benefit from focusing on this role first.

The availability of the Battlefield 3 alpha and its signup website has caught the attention of a lot of eager players. If you have not received an invitation, the EA/Origin account you attempt to log in with will display the error “We’re sorry – you don’t meet the criteria to enter this site.”
Here are the known details on the BF3 alpha:
- available through an email invitation only
- sign up for the newsletter using the same email address as your EA/Origin account for a chance at being selected
- log in to your EA/Origin account and ensure your veteran status is up-to-date
- having attended E3 or using an account with high veteran status do not guarantee selection
As noted in the previous Battlefield 3 release date post, the beta will be available in August and will be open to everyone. Those who have purchased Medal of Honor: Limited Edition will have early access to this beta.
Classes in Battlefield 3 multiplayer: Support (part 2 of 5)

In the first post of this series, I described the advantage of choosing one or two classes to focus on in the early weeks of BF3’s release.
In this section, I’ll go into the unique features of the Support class and what type of players will benefit from starting with this role.
Unlike other roles, the support class has the option to use light machine guns. LMG’s are capable of laying down heavy fire for extended periods of time with their large ammo feeds.

Battlefield 3 Alpha Trial website

The website http://battlelog.battlefield.com displays a sign in page for the “Battlelog Alpha Trial,” with a note stating “Try Battlefield 3 before anyone else.”
EA/Origin logins do not appear to automatically be authorized to log in; a message states “your account is not authorized to log in” if this is attempted. No details have yet been released on how the Alpha will be accessible.

Battlefield 3 will include four distinct player classes: support, engineer, recon, and assault.
As was the case in Battlefield: Bad Company 2, numerous “unlocks” (weapons and gadgets made available by reaching goals in multiplayer) can be applied to the different classes. Most players will eventually branch out and vary their class each time they spawn based on their squad, the map, and other specifics of the battle.
However, many players will choose their favorite class or classes and unlock their unique items first. This can be of particular advantage in the first few weeks of the game’s release.

Although rumored details have circulated, EA/DICE has not yet released system requirements for BF3.
In the past, EA’s Battlefield games have implemented the latest DirectX features and taken advantage of the latest hardware. Expect BF3 to be no exception.
Take Battlefield: Bad Company 2 for an example.
