What extra features could BF3 have?

This is a brief list of possible additions the game could have. If you can think of more, please post them up as comments at the end of the blog. I'll insert the best ones into the blog along with a credit:

1. The first, and probably the most disappointing, is that BF3 will almost definitely be multi-platform. I'll address this in more detail in a future blog post. The recent news that FB 2.0 will mainly be developed for DX11 does not rule-out the game being on consoles if Dice were to use an earlier version of FB on the console version OR it simply added console-based DX9 support (as it did for DX11 on the PC on BC2).
2. The game could have full clan integration along with an enhanced friends system. Players are now used to being able to easily find, chat and join on their friends in-game, so it's hard to see BF3 not having this. 3. A reduction in the number of classes would seem to be fairly obvious. BF2142 did this, as has BC2.
4. Perks, achievements and all that blingy shiznit BC2 and MOH have plastered across their screens also seem to be pretty much a shoe-in. I view this as unfortunate because the last thing I want when fighting is some flashing bar telling me I just got 10 points for a kill, 5 points for a headshot and 3 points for a saviour kill. Dice, let the COD folks keep this stuff please.
5. One thing that Breach includes, as we noted in this news piece, is active cover. Now whether or not this would transfer to BF3 is questionable, but I do think Dice could come out with something a little special such as this feature.
