I want someone to wire-in that grungy-ass electronic theme into my brain so I can listen to it whenever I want.

Is it set in Iran? I hadn't heard that.  
 
Anyway, it looks amazing, I just want to know if it has more to it than looks.

Looks great, doubt I'll bother much with the single player, might play though once like with 1942 and BC2.

Nitpick much?  I'm sorry, if this is your mindset you must hate the way every video game looks.

Actually ... the way the soldier falls looks pretty natural to me. And if those visuals/animations dont impress you at least a little bit I dont know what will :)

No one does the modern day shooter better than DICE.  This game is looking great, and let's not forget the one thing that puts Battlefield ahead of the pack:  environmental destruction.

I don't like the way this is heading. I don't want a Medal of Honor do-over. Let other games handle the "Tango-Down" epic single player campaign. What I want out of this game is huge multiplayer.

Hmm... are the Marines fighting Chinese PLA forces in that video? The black attire, helmets, and ski masks remind me of pictures of the Chinese PLA.

As someone who's intrigued at their new fondness for singeplayer campaign its pretty cool to see that angle shown first, and it looks decent. Evidently we'll see the history expand in each episode. Shouldn't be shocked it still covers the iraq/iran/middle east concept still.

Dude!!! It is a shame the console versions can't look like this. I would be surprised if the 360 version was anywhere near this good. Regardless this trailer made me say "Call of What?"

this is battlefield, i honestly dont care about anything they wanna chuck into the single player, i only care about the multiplayer, this looks like CoD, which is fine cos bad company's single players have been somewhat lacking, but i honestly could not give 2 shits about what they have shown so far, where is the multiplayer trailers damn it!

Y'know, at least the shadow textures doesn't look jagged. 
 
Just my personal nitpicking on every game engine this gen, is the horrible jagged shadows.

Didn't notice it before the crazy framrate spike right before the firefight. It is some pretty early footage though and I'm sure you can configure it on the PC.

I love me some battlefield, but this just looks like the same bland FPS crap. We stand around the map while the commander points at it, then we run past a bunch of soldiers/vehicles off on their way to combat, then we all gather around the door before we go in, we check corners, we clear rooms, and then a sniper and/or an rpg kills someone/blows something up. 
 
RE WRITIN THE FPS BOOK RIGHT HERE 
 
The campaign is negligible, in fact I'm surprised they have one at all. The game should straight up be 100% multiplayer, and I will only be happy once I've seen they did the multiplayer right.

The beginning part was so cool but when the shooting started it seemed like an another FPS. I hope the game has highs and lows like this. I hate the COD roller-coaster style because it gets really overwhelming and frankly boring after a while. MW1 still had some concept of pacing and that's why it was so great.

Ohhh yeah. Giving the other modern combat games a run for their money. Definitely the right move, I think. Battlefield's always been about the multiplayer, to the degree that the main series never even had a campaign until now. But what better way to draw in newcomers than pretend to be Call of Duty or Medal of Honor for a few hours with a tight, firmly guided and carefully scripted singleplayer campaign, and then break out the big guns, tear down some buildings and display some of those 64 player arenas, with vehicles and everything.
 
Then the game leans back and says, "Hey, you know, this is what we've been about all along. Yes, you were missing out, all those years. But here's your chance to finally press "multiplayer" and join us. Go on. I know you liked that tank level..."

Wow, for all of Medal of Honor's crooning about authenticity, this looks a lot more compelling in that department. The atmosphere in this trailer is really good, and its just so... restrained. There's only 30 seconds of traditional gunplay here, and the rest is buildup.
 
I think this game would be really interesting to play if it can stick to that kind of design philosophy.

Are they predicting the US will be engaged with warfare against the Iranian forces by 2014? 
Are the scripted missions par for the course for the recent Battlefield games?

Satisfying build-up of tension leading to the firefight.
