As major game releases approach from the horizon, we are inevitably flooded with tidbits of information, be it leaked or official, regarding various aspects of the game. Depending on your disposition, these are used to either drool over, as reasons why this game is better\/worse than its rival, or reasons to start petitions.<\/p>\n
We usually see fansites dedicated to uncovering as much about these games before release as possible, like excitable children shaking their presents under the tree. EA has taken all the fun out of it now, however, and have released four pages of facts about Battlefield 3. This comprehensive list covers all the weapons, weapon accessories, soldier equipment, soldier specializations, vehicles and vehicle specializations.<\/p>\n
So if you\u2019re into this kind of thing, instead of present shaking you\u2019ve been granted X-ray vision. You might want to grab some supplies \u2013 it\u2019s a long read. Just so you don’t lose interest halfway, I’ve hidden a spelling mistake somewhere in the list. See if you can find it.<\/p>\n
