So - a youtube link is up. But it isn't HD - since it seems that Gamestop jumped the gun with that trailer and it remains the only source at the time. At least it's fullscreen. Enjoy!
 
 

Looks like it could be fun for a bit, I think i'll stick to the larger games though, but damn that map looked awesome though!

I like a good infantry focused map.

It's an infantry only mode designed to cater to the 'professional' competitive e-sports crowd. The big-ass modes hinder e-sports, because of impossible teamsize.
 
Looks like a kick-ass replacement for Counterstrike to me. If I'd be a CS player I would wet my panties over this. Will certainly be fun for clan wars and duking it out with friends list only. It's pretty easy to get a private room going, when you only need 8 guys for a full room.

Why must you compare them both, they're both completely different styles of fps's "

 Not really. Squad Deathmatch and Squad Rush are a lot closer to Modern Warfare 2's style and pacing. Only that BF:BC 2 also has the classic 'big-ass' modes aka Conquest and Rush.  But since I've not played neither CoD4 nor MW2 - I'm obviously talking out of my fanboy ass ;D... so take it with a grain of salt.

Cod is a bit of an arcade shooter, customizable in one way or the other.   Battlefield is...well....a battlefield. Big wide maps, tanks, amazing sound effects, 24 players.....ahhhh love it. "

I have heard that a Gamestop exclusive pre-order deal will lock the Squad Rush mode for 30 days, unless you pre-ordered from Gamestop.
 
This is why i hate gamestop, and will not support them.
 
 
I can wait 30 days, I can play the campaign on normal, then do it on the hardest difficulty, then play some Gold Rush. And more gold rush, and more gold rush, and more gold rush, then maybe some conquest.
 
I'll try the squad DM I guess. 
 
This doesn't look that much fun compared to the other modes to be honest, but it should be fun to do with my clan or friends.

Luckily - Gamestop is doomed, if it isn't successful in shifting into the age of digital distribution. I wouldn't mind it being gone. Gamestop is leeching money from the publishers and developers with their second hand business. I am not a big fan of traders, especially gigantic ones sucking away revenues from the productive branch of the industry.
 
I don't think it's a smart move for EA/DICE, but who knows how such a deal with Gamestop - or the lack thereof actually impacts sales revenue. Didn't like it for Army of Two. Don't like it for BF:BC 2. Especially since Gamestop ain't shit in my country (more or less non-existent in fact), which cuts me off said preorder shennanigans.
 
Mildly annoyed by this move - but hell. I played one map/one mode for 180h and didn't have enough. No problem with that shit other than a growing resentment for Gamestop and the industries need to suck it up.

I wish the new mode ended up being like Assault mode from BF2142. Basically Conquest mode with two locked bases and three neutral capture points which unlock the enemy's home base for capturing once your team holds all of them.
