Battlefield 3: Weapons Customization Up Closer and Personal

As we know it, the new Battlefield 3 will benefit from a lot of customization options, especially weapon and vehicle costumization, but today we will look at the customizing options for the weapons in the game.

Basically, each main weapon in the game will have three accessory slots, where you will be able to attach weapon accessories you have unlocked. But the great thing about those options are its unlock features. Weapon accessory unlocks are received on a per weapon basis, meaning that the more time you spend with a particular weapon, the more options you will have to customize that weapon to fit different your combat role and play style.

The feature that allows you to unlock more, if you play more is very interesting and something you really need in the game. Because if you look back to Bad Company 2, you could remember that when you played as and assault role, you unlocked only assault guns. That was already a clever decision in the way of unlocking things, but yet it wasn't polished that well. So now if you like playing with, let's say the M4 Carbine, you will also be mainly unlocking accessories for it.


Lets compare this very identical, but so different weapons. The bellow weapons are both the same Carbines but customized differently. The first weapon has been equipped with a heavy barrel, bipod, and a 4X magnification combat scope.
This would be ideal for a soldier who wants to engage targets at medium to long range and use suppressive fire to support his team mates.

In the picture under, the same carbine has instead been equipped with a suppressor, foregrip and quick acquisition holographic scope. This setup would be well suited for Close Quarters Battle, especially indoors where stealth can be a vital factor.

The unlockable weapon accessories include an assortment of optics suppressors, bipods, barrels, underslung grenade launchers, underslung shotguns, foregrips, flashlights, laser sights and more.

So a lot of options to choose from and decide what player you will be in your squad, tell us in the comment bellow section, what kinda weapon customization you will choose.
