- PC version will get “Ultra†video quality setting.
- Hardcore mode will return in Battlefield 3
- Infantry-only setting will return as well
- Commo Rose has been confirmed. DICE is working on a console version of Commo Rose as well.
- 3D spotting has been revised.
- Motion sensors are back, but cannot be thrown, and have to be deployed.
- The EOD bot can be used to arm MCOMs, repair vehicles and disarm mines.
- Players can spawn on any squad member now, but DICE is looking into it.
- Kill-cam is back.
- Jet max height is 1000m (same as BF2).
- Jets will be available on consoles as well.
- Bullets from different weapons have different velocity speeds, bullet drop is back as well.
- Weapons are faction specific, but you can unlock other faction’s weapons once your rank up high enough.
- Weapon silencers will be available on almost all weapons except shotguns.
- Assault rifles with long, high-zoom scopes will have “glint†as well.
- Claymores are back. You can crouch past them, but have to use explosives to blow up claymores and mines.
