    Taken straight from the Official Battlefield Blog:
     
    "Panama Canal features a tight battle with abandoned industrial buildings, vehicles, large ships, and piles of debris everywhere with billowing smoke off in the distance as the surround forest rages of fire while the surrounding city is bombarded by enemy ballistics. The map has a four-flag setup, with two flags being more focused on vehicle warfare with IFVs and MBTs. The center flags are infantry focused and the team in control of either centre flag will get access to an attack helicopter or an AA vehicle, respectively.

    Check out this gameplay preview and see both American and Russian forces fight for control of tactical points in the classic Battlefield "Conquest" Mode."

         
     

    Anyways, from the looks of it I think that this map seems interesting. A section more vehicle focused and one that is infantry focused. I still hope they show more of the singleplayer though.

    Awesome. Wonder if this'll make me switch from MW2. Frankly I hope it does... The lag in PC matches is terrible...

    @Suicidal_SNiper: Well, Bad Company 2 does have (*looks around and whispers*) dedicated servers, which usually means little to no lag. I have no doubt that DICE won't skimping out on the PC version, the Battlefield series was born on the PC and DICE are PC game developers first.

    @FrankCanada97:  Lol, I find it funny that they're using it as one of their main selling points ATM for the PC version. But hell, if it's any good I'll definitely be switching.

    everytime i see this game (including the first one) i think damn, this looks way better than modern warfare's. but then i play it and it gets old. the controls are just not tight enough. hopefully they are in this game but i dunno. i'm really hoping the new medal of honor is good though.
