In the first post of this series, I recommended choosing one or two classes to focus on after BF3 releases.
In this post I’ll go over the recon class and which players will benefit from focusing on this role first.
Snipers
When people think of the recon class, they think “sniper.”
Battlefield games have always had a class with its own unique long-range rifles. BF3 will have a total of 6 sniper rifles, all unique to the recon class. Some possible new additions in BF3 such as scope glint and scope sway may make it more of a challenge to be a sniper when you get started. On the other hand, you’ll be able to earn weapon specializations such as the bipod, scopes, and flash suppressor. Also, claymores can bring down enemies that try to sneak up on you. These will no doubt give snipers and their rifles a huge range and detection advantage over the other classes.
Don’t look past the reason it’s called the “recon” class and not the “sniper” class.
The recon class has more goodies of its own other than sniper rifles.

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.

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 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.
