There's been a lot of information and news coming out about Battlefield 3. Some of the news goes overlooked, but still interesting. Here's a small list of some BF3 facts that you may not know.

One lighting probe from Frostbite 2's lighting system "...contain(s) more lighting information than an entire level from Bad Company 2."

This is the first non-EA Sports game to utilize ANT, an animation program that powers EA games like
FIFA, to create realistic animations and smoother transitions for AI and multiplayer characters.

A profile system, possibly similar to Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 1942, will be present.

Sounds such as weapons firing will be unique in different environments, different angles, and different distances.

A dev console will be present.

When a firearm is reloaded before the magazine is emptied, there will now be an extra round present, because the cartridge is still in the chamber of the weapon, adding to that, the charging handle or bolt is only pulled if the gun was emptied.

For the first time in the Battlefield franchise, the player is able to see their body, as one can see in the gameplay trailer when the character jumps down from a ventilation shaft.
