Suppressive fire from weapons blurs the vision and reduces the accuracy of those under fire, as well as health regeneration. The mechanics of the weapons have been changed to utilize the new engine: compatible weapons may have bipods attached which can then be deployed when in the prone position or near suitable scenery, and provide a significant boost to accuracy and recoil reduction. The Recon class focuses on sniping and spotting enemies. The Engineer class focuses on supporting and destroying vehicles.

The Support class focuses on light machine guns and supplying ammunition. The Assault class focuses on assault rifles and healing teammates.

Participating in co-op mode allows the player to collect points that unlock additional content that can be used in multiplayer. Battlefield 3 's new Battlelog social network, DICE noted, would be tied to all co-op matches, allowing players to try to beat friends' scores and to track their performance. Cooperative Ī demo featuring the new co-op mode was featured at gamescom 2011.

Battlefield 3 introduces the "Battlelog" a free cross-platform social service with built-in text messaging, voice communications, game statistics, and the ability to join games that friends are already playing (though both players need to be on the same platform). The maps cover urban streets, metropolitan downtown areas, and open landscapes suited to vehicle combat. The game features maps set in Paris, Tehran (as well as other locations in Iran), Sulaymaniyah in Iraq, New York City, Wake Island, Oman, Kuwait City, and other parts of the Persian Gulf. To accommodate the lower player count on consoles, the ground area is limited for Xbox 360 and PS3, though fly space remains the same. It reintroduces several elements absent from the Bad Company games, including fighter jets, the prone position and 64-player battles on PC.
