So you can't wait to get your hands on Battlefield 3, I hear you, we
can't either. I had the opportunity to play the game at E3 2011, but it
was more of a tease than a proper demo. As deep a multiplayer
experience that Battlefield brings, its hard to take it all in within 15
minutes of gameplay. The PlayStation 3 Magazine kindly provided this
infographic about the four character classes of Battlefield 3
Multiplayer, their typical loadouts, and best abilities.
Assault Class:
Typical Loadout: M-16a2 Rifle, Med Kit, Defibrillators
Best Used For: Assaulting Objectives and providing support for other
front-line players

tool
Best Used For: Taking out enemy vehicles, blowing holes in cover,
repairing friendlies.
Recon Class:
Typical Loadout: MKII Sniper Rifle with 6x Scope, C4 Pack

enemies.
