Battlefield 3 will serve you guys with 10 times the weapon unlockables as the previous series, Battlefield 2, in which the latest entry to Battleblog stated. These hardware unlocks will be transfer over weapons, gadgets, attachments as well as a “huge unlock tree for vehicles alone.”
Valerian Noghin and Fredrik Thylander — the game’s persistence designers — has pointed out, there will also be ribbons, medals, and service stars displaying “skill, commitment, and teamplay prowess,” handed out to players.
That’s not all, you can also check out a number ranks in the game, as with Bad Company 2, and badge ranks will show off the overall player progress in the game, and more steps to progress with “new concept of Service Stars.”
The idea of Service Stars is basically to “challenge the hardcore” and the more one plays, the more they are eligible for further promotion by getting Service Stars added to the weapon skill badge, vehicles, kits, and overall rank.
“Anytime your kill card is displayed, everyone will see exactly how experienced you are with your current equipment,” read the blog. “The ultimate bragging right would be for a player to be awarded the rank of Colonel with 100 Service Stars attached, and to have 100 stars in all weapons, kits, and vehicles. Getting there will be a massive task – consider that a challenge.”
You can head over to the official BFblog to learn more about it.
Battlefield 3 due to hit the shelves in late October 25 on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360, with an open beta widely expected next month.

Unlocks and DLC is just money grabbing crapola.
Why have something locked when you first buy the game.
I can see them coming out with expansions… etc… later on improving the game.
Dont sell me a product with pre-locked content.

I like the concept of the “kill card”.
