Classes:
Assault

Recon
The recon carries a sniper rifle for long range engagement, and has the ability to call in artillery strikes (unlock).
Medic
The medic is armed with a Light Machine Gun and has the ability to drop med packs to heal wounded soldiers, and has the ability to revive fallen soldiers as well.
Engineer
The Engineer’s primary role is to engage tanks and armored vehicles with an array of rocket launchers such as the RPG-7 and the AT4. The primary weapon is a carbine rifle.
News:
Expected to be release in Fall 2011.
EA announced the beta to be expected in October, so those of you who picked up Medal of Honor Limited Edition would have gotten beta keys to gain access! (Source is from their Twitter)
Character animations will be powered by ANT and focused on realism.
Level destruction will be "believable."
AI characters and multiplayer characters have different animation sets
Captured their own war audios (bullets, tanks, helicopters, etc) at different distances to ensure realism
Better audio cues for certain actions, more easily able to listen for threats
Better, more immediate post release content
More unlocks than BFBC2
A good balance between customization of your character and not having "pink rabbit hat(s)"
Will have co-op
BF3's team is almost twice as big as the team for BFBC2
Balanced pacing in single-player mode, with highs and lows.
Significant narrative that goes with the SP mode
Original story, not based on Bad Company.
