Thanks for all the nice feedback on my previous post! Like I said, here is the 2nd part of my Blog series on Battlefield 3. This time no images in the post itself, because then it would become a bit to long with all the 55 weapons included in BF3. So, I made links instead, so click on the weapon and you'll get an image!

So the second most important thing in a Battlefield multiplayer, is the weapons. Battlefield 3 contains 55 weapons, which is more than Dice has ever done before. There are a few important things, or changes, when it comes to the weapons in the game:
Supressive fire. Lay down supressive fire to limit the combat capabilities of enemies, making their vision blurred.
Quick reloads. Speaks for itself.
Multiple fire modes. Most guns have multiple fire modes, single, sustained and burst.
Fully customizable weapons. You can fully customize your weapon with various optics, ergonomics, performance upgrades and underslung weaponry. The underslung weaponry is again fully customizable.
Bipods. Deploy your machine gun bipods on any mountable surface for greater accuracy.
