A tipster has sent a PDF document which looked like an outline of features for Battlefield 3 to Digitalbattle.com. The 3 page document looks like it's meant for investors which should get it in December this year.
Here are some "headlights" from that document:
- Release in late 2008
- Powered by “Frostbite DX”
- Will ship with 8 maps, each supporting up to 40-players per team
- Two playable factions, NATO and MEC (Middle Eastern Coalition)
- Maps are mostly urban, based in Middle East
- Squads and Commanders are present, introduced are “Battalions” which consist of three to four squads.
- Five playable classes; Sniper, Assault, Engineer, Medic and Support
- Will feature 48 different vehicles (24 for each faction)
- Will feature 34 different weapons (17 for each faction) and another 22 unlocks (for both factions), in total 56 different weapons.
- Other unlocks include different types of ammunition, body armor, helmets, camouflage and accessories.
- Possible public beta in “Summer 2008″
- Built-in auto software updater (no more patches!, ed.)

Neither DICE or EA have verified/denied the content of the document, so it could very well be real.
The features looks very good, and 80-player maps should be really interesting to try as well..
