The thing is, the more you play with a certain type of vehicle and the more you kill people with that type of vehicle, you will unlock stuff for that specific type of vehicle like laser guided missiles, flairs, faster reload, coaxial machine gun, smoke screen e.t.c. And yes you can choose any guns, equipments and attachements you want, though some weapons are class specific. Hope that helpedBattlefield 3 multiplayer help and guide?

There are 4 classes in Battlefield 3 and these are:

Assault Class 鈥?This is best if you are new to the game as it will give you a good starter class that is good at mid-range and short range combat. Just watch out for snipers with this class.

Support Class 鈥?If you want to have some time off the front line then try out this class as the focus will be on providing support. You can get some awesome points by laying down covering fire and also making sure you heal your squad.

Engineer Class 鈥?The master of vehicles and you can make awesome points by fixing the vehicles in the game and you are also very good at short range combat as well.
