Amazing. This game is going to end up pushing me to build a new PC to run it.

Dude. QTE face punching is cool.

Can't wait for April 17. Enough with the small teases!

  i'll just embed it here.

I think this might be in the depths of the uncanny valley for me. Everything looks real enough for the anachronisms of a video game from the first-person perspective to really bother me.

Can't wait to play this on PC.

I'm getting a PC just for this game.  
Looks fantastic. I hope they include the BOOOOOMMM followed by the ending jingle somewhere in the game. Never gets old.

No it should be in general discussion.  Everyone needs to know. "

Well a video of the full mission, of course, unedited from start to the shaking end. "

well that sounds.. pointless =/ "

This didn't get me anywhere near as excited as the previous trailers have... 
Also, I get that the game looks great, but why are so many people saying it's pretty much the best-looking game ever, when Crysis 2, which I think seems to be on about the same level, just came out...

12 minutes of HD goodness on the 17th. The Little Bird and those casings falling was pretty damn awesome.

It's just a guess but from what I've heard, the DX11 patch that Crytech were speaking of is supposedly nothing that was confirmed. Seems like it's not coming out at all. That means they have pushed it only so far that Dx10 can go. The little we've seen of BF3 looks beautiful and they've already said that they are going to push for PC exclusive Dx11 content. Think the main idea behind that BF3 is the "best-looking game ever" is more the fact that they seem more keen on pushing the PC graphics than Crytech. At least that's from the impressions we're given by what has been said from Crytech so far. It can change, sure. But DICE have shown us that they can go batshit insane with graphics, effects and sound if they have the tech and the new Frostbite seem to be the tech they need. "

" @Ahmad_Metallic Yes thank you for that elaborate nonsense as a mean to correct my spelling that I was already in the process of correcting myself. "

The graphics look amazing, but I'm completely burned out by modern military shooters, so I think I'll pass.

Man, I am getting more and more excited about this game with every new video they show.  Can't wait for the 17th!

I really want to see some multiplayer now.

This is looking rad.

Parts of this still look weird to me. The arms are oddly skinny, and so is the gun. It seems to lack the heft and weight that BC2 always felt like it had. But man the sound is incredible, and whoever came up with that gritty electronic music/noise for the end is a genius.
 
Also, am I the only one who misses the character design from BC2? I know they're going more realistic with this, but I just loved how unique and cool the characters in BC2 were. Bring back arm socks and visors.

These are GB in-jokes right? Skinny forearms and arm socks and stuff... "

Lol, are they? I've definitely heard people complain about the skinny arms though. I'm just a big fan of arm socks, what can I say? "

btw. if you're actually serious, that's because of the much higher FOV (Field of View) of BF3. Console-optimized FOV is usually around 50-60 degrees (BF:BC 2 has a default FOV of 60 degrees I believe). This footage seems to be more like 70-80 degrees. Guess console versions of BF3 will feature all the meaty forearms and screen filling guns you want thanks to the more narrow FOV.  Likely getting both PC and PS3 versions, so I'll enjoy both meaty and skinny forearms alike. I'm indiscriminate in my fondness for BF forearms. "

I shall mark April 17th as the day to keep a look out for that 12 minute trailer because that'll be 12 minutes of my mind blown. Really hoping Battlefield will make it for this year's fall. 

Fucking awesome, but I'm still of the opinion that the character you play needs sleeves.  Is he a commando from a 1980s action movie?  At least have the sleeve visibly rolled up at the elbow.  Maybe they're working on extremely realistic sleeve tech and don't want to reveal anything until it's finished.

Man, the thing I love about the recent Battlefield games has been the sounds of each gun. The ones in the vid sound incredible!

I can't wait to see the reveal on the 17th. 
I hope they show some jet action.

Since this is the only officially sanctioned "Trailer Part 3" thread, you guys should probably see this:

Some realism smell testing for those of you who care.

Can anyone please explain me, what do you mean by "Jet Action of the 17th." "
