Battlefield 3 Premium eGuide Essentials Basics

Specilizations

As you progress through your multiplayer career you unlock a variety of specializations. These perks provide varying bonuses to your kit. But you can only equip one specialization at a time, so pick the bonus that best fits your style of play.

The squad specializations are very powerful, as they apply a bonus to your entire squad. All specializations are tied to ranks. So the more promotions you earn, the more specializations you’ll have to choose from.
