Another nice touch that they put in was that they left the front sight on the M4 even though it has an optical sight. In most games the front sight is either removed completely (like Bad Company 2 or Call of Duty 4) or else it has a flip down front sight (like Modern Warfare 2). Adds a nice level of realism in my opinion.--[[User:Gunkatas|Gunkatas]] 06:29, 4 March 2011 (UTC) | Another nice touch that they put in was that they left the front sight on the M4 even though it has an optical sight.

:I always thought removing the front sight from M4/M16 rifles in games was utterly stupid mall ninja BS, not to mention making the gun look ugly as sin. In a real-world situation, if your optic fails and you don't have any iron sights to fall back on, you're basically SOL while the other guy who's never even heard of a red dot sight is still capable of sending rounds your way.

Beta
Does anyone know when the beta is starting? cant wait for it! --109.78.246.33 21:34, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
Or for that matter, how we can get in on it? That's One Angry Duck
To get into the Battlefield 3 beta, you need to buy specially-marked versions of the recent Medal Of Honor User:SeanWolf
Ya i got it, do you know when were getting the codes?--GunGunGun 02:40, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
I have no clue.User:SeanWolf
If you registered your Medal of Honor with your EA-Account, you'll get the invitation and infos, as soon as there is something, so far nothing is known.
Wish I could try the beta Excalibur01 22:15, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
AK-something-something
Check that dude in the BG. also what I think *might* be a holster, but I'm probably wrong.
http://bf3nation.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/bf6.jpg
- It's definitely an AK-series rifle, which one I can't be sure of. If I had to guess however, I'd say either an AK-74, AK-74M, or AK-101. Orca1 9904 08:15, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
- It's a dump bag on his hip. At least that's what I think it is. It definitely isn't a holster though, since most drop leg holsters are strapped to your thigh. Why a guy with a belt fed machine gun has a dump bag through is beyond me.--1SAZ 09:19, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
- If I had to guess, he may have been issued an M4 or M16 and picked up the MG prior to the pic being taken. You can also see some STANAG mag pouches on the front of his vest too. Orca1 9904 03:37, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
M240G is M240B
The M240G is actually a M240B as seen by gameplay screenshots. You can also identify it's M240B by the heat shield. I guess that inaccuracy in every war game (including new games) will always be. --RaNgeR 11:44, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
- I knew it was some kind of M240 variant, but since it was being used by a Marine I assumed it was the 240-Golf variant since they typically use that instead of the 240-Bravo. Orca1 9904 03:26, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
M16A4?
Got these pics off BF3 nation; http://bf3nation.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/bf1.jpg appears to be some M16 varient which oddly enough doesnt have any rear sights. http://bf3nation.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/bf5.jpg Another shot of the M16 like weapon (Just going to mention the nice detail on the mag). And hey, new weapon, A COFFEE MUG!!! --GunGunGun 15:02, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
It is an M16A4, the developers probably didn't detailed the weapon enough. --RaNgeR 16:08, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
Racking charging handle when reloading after empty
A new trailer showed you shooting an M4 and when you are empty, you reload but instead of pressing the bolt release, you charge the handle. I seriously hope this isn't the default reload Excalibur01 04:35, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
At the begining of the trailer, it did say that it was pre-alpha code. They'll hopefully have the modeling and other animations fixed by then.--Gunkatas 05:04, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
Yeah, cause I'm getting bad flashbacks to games in early 2000 that pulls the charging handle when doing mid mag reloads Excalibur01 05:31, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
If I remember correctly, the M16A2 & M4A1 reloading animations from BF2 had the character use the charging handle instead of the bolt release when reloading, they may have borrowed that. Orca1 9904 05:58, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
Well I hope they change it to using bolt release because it's wield for someone to do that unless you're clearing a malfunction Excalibur01 06:46, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
I'm liking how they now keep track of a round in the chamber and you don't go through the whole reloading animation, maybe this time we'll have proper pistol reloads.--FIVETWOSEVEN 19:05, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
What's a "proper" pistol reload? Excalibur01 20:21, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
- I think he meant that the slide does not lock back when the pistol runs out, like in Medal Of Honor MP. bozitojugg3rn4ut 20:43, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
Also in Bad Company and the second one they did the same thing where the slide didn't lock back. If it's one thing Modern Warfare has done right is the reload animation...well except maybe for the ACR. Excalibur01 22:14, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
- There was also a problem with the SPAS-12: the character pump it after the reload even if there was a shell in the chamber. Same in Black Ops. Not to mention that "all pistols were DAO" since the hammers never move. bozitojugg3rn4ut 08:52, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
About reloads, in last years Metal of Honor, you do a combat reload when your shotgun is empty. Excalibur01 22:15, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

In most games the front sight is either removed completely (like Bad Company 2 or Call of Duty 4) or else it has a flip down front sight (like Modern Warfare 2).
