Ive watched the new trailer maybe 50 times, and everything looks just perfect, except for the player's arm ! 
 the arm is very thin and white and clean, looks very soft and feminine/unmanly.. doesnt really fit for a 25+ year old squad leader in the US army ! 
 
not to mention that that glove looks like its taken out of a S&M shop (kinda)  
 
Edit: also, why is the player the only one in short sleeves while the rest of the squad are wearing standard long-sleeved uniforms ? who wears a short sleeve uniform in combat anyway? 
 
 

you should have stopped around view number 7.

it's actually all females, that's the twist.

They look fine to me, just because their forearms arn't huge a bulky doesn't meen they arn't "Manly".

Wait, Big Jon...  You make the DSi-ware games, right? "

It's a bloody forearm... It looks fine to me.

Wow this is really over scrutinizing at this point. I mean, if you need more manly forearms maybe someone can mod in arms that look like penises for you at some point in the future.

Arm looks normal to me, though it would be pretty cool if it updated to look dirtier and more beat up as time passes.

... wow

" it would be pretty cool if it updated to look dirtier and more beat up as time passes."

Id like to know why he/she is the only one without sleeves?

Maybe you're playing as a lady. OHSNAP!
 
It'd be cool if that's really the truth. Not enough female protagonists.

" @Ahmad_Metallic: Not sure how many actual soldiers you've seen...but they're not all 'roid monsters. I have family that's soldering and he's fairly lean, but his muscles are for using not for showing off. Also, doesn't take a massive amount of muscle to pull a trigger and kill your ass. "

yeah thats my second question, no one answered it ! "

What?

Wait, what? Did you really make a thread about arms in the battlefield 3 trailer?

You are actually playing as Faith from Mirror's Edge, and the whole game, after the first mission, is about you running and jumping on rooftops while people are shooting at you. 
That's why there won't be a Mirror's Edge 2! They've got it all figured out, the Battlefield name gets everyone to buy the game, but it's actually a Mirror's Edge game in disguise!

No

It represents the pale, white, kid playing the game. It's.. immersive.

That's the first DLC: Manly Arms.
 
It takes place in the downtime between battles, lifting weights and shit, building up your forearms before ultimately arm wrestling zombie Suddam Hussein to death.

those look like my arms to be honest

50 times? Find better things to do with your spare time

 I'm sorry, did you want characters with giant penises for arms that are all veiny? Let me email DICE and tell them to get the character modelers from Epic Games.

" That's the first DLC: Manly Arms.   "

You'll need DirectX12 for hairy arms.

soft arms maybe but the real question is does it have boobs... 

They look fine.

"You'll need DirectX12 for hairy arms. "

I've seen soldiers here and there in my life, and none of them have giant ass Gears Of War arms. You are nitpicking about the most insignificant thing ever.

Also, all the Arabic text used as textures is absolutely fucked.

The reason he wears short sleeves is because it's this guy: 

 Why sweat it out in stupid long sleeves; they were so Battlefield 2. Future enemy = the dreaded farmers tan.

There might actually be some truth to this. When you think about it, arm hair is going to be more difficult than normal hair because you can't really get away with a texture. It would have to be individualized pieces with 3d space around them.Which is beyond just about every hair system i've seen in games. "
