Well, I guess I'm not getting BF3.  There is no reason for EA needing this much info.

DICE has posted a new entry on their Battleblog, where they go into details regarding the weapons and weapon customization in Battlefield 3. As we know, there are 50 weapons in Battlefield 3, and each main weapon has three customization slots, which can be used for barrel, grip and optics accessories.
DICE describes how a carbine rifle can be upgraded with a 4X scope and heavy barrel for long range combat, or it can be equipped with a suppressor, fore-grip and holographic sight for close quarter combat. The image above shows the two versions of the same carbine rifle.
Unlike Bad Company 2, Battlefield 3 weapon unlocks are a bit different, as you will unlock accessories (optics, barrels etc.) for each weapon, rather than unlock them in general for use in all weapons. This means the more you play with a weapon, the more unlocks you get for that specific weapon.

I hope this doesn't turn it into every class is the same.

I hope this doesn't turn it into every class is the same.

DICE is smarter than that.

EA, not so much...

One class can heal
One can repair
One uses a big gun
One uses a sniper rifle

Different types of weapons does not make a class unique.

Different purposes do, and if every weapon can turn into a close range or long range version...

besides, you know, getting info on who's buying their games so they better understand who their target market is, etc etc etc

who gives a forget, its not important info. its not like they're asking for your social security number and bank PIN.

yes? Obviously support can lay down lots of fire where as a sniper most definitely cannot.

[Jorici]

I never really understood the point of a suppressor in call of duty or battlefield, or any fps, really. (unless it's Rainbow Six Vegas 2, or something)

Ir serves virtually no use, and the only difference is that you don't appear on the map. The silencer is obsolete because the damage and accuracy are hindered, and people just run around on the map anyway, so you will be found no matter what.

[Fredulus]

no, you wont be found no matter what. especially in a game like battlefield with huge maps.
