@RazeEverything: If you look closely, the soldier is trying to jump over the rock but gets shot in the leg mid jump.

I can't wait to play it, but I hope this is the last time we see major release use the whole "middle eastern terrorists" as enemies for a while. It's really beginning to feel old and there are so many, more interesting enemies that could exist.

Why is Daniel Craig pointing a gun at me at 1:31? Shit's too real.

I love good single player action and I can't wait to play this game specially with the confirmation of Farsi voice acting. That sounded like Omid Djalili at the beginning and that shot that looked like the highway in Tehran looked amazing. I am soooo stoked for Tuesday.

They could edit all video games trailers like this and I'd be okay with. Love what they've done with the classic BF theme and it was cool to hear the original sound creep up in this video too. Can't wait to play it.

@Airickson: 64 vs 32? I assume you mean total players on PC vs Console, as consoles only have 24 players

Ok, now that the rest of the BF theme song is there, I actually kind of dig it.

If someone had told me this was the trailer for MW3, I would probably have believed them.

@RazeEverything: Clearly he's base jumping.

At 2 feet.

But damn that was a good trailer. I love that I know a metric assload about this game; and yet that trailer was full of new things (like Times Square).

Does anyone actually get moved by these "epic" stories anymore? I mean nukes going off is so common in games these days that it's hard to care. In MW1 it had an impact, but these days not even a hundred nukes will have the same impact. It just comes across like they are trying too hard with all this "OMG OMG OMG THERZ LEIK A NUKE IN PARIZ AND SHIT!!!" even though a single harvest of those little sister in Bioshock has more emotional impact than CoD or BF games will ever have.

Not that the single player is the main reason to play a BF game anyway. This game will live or die depending on how good the multiplayer is.

I don't expect to play the single-player much but, damn.
 
Most recent fave SP of an FPS is MW1. I'd be delighted if this topped it in replay-value.

Still trying to decide if I want to play this on PC, not at optimal settings (not sure *how* it will actually look on my rig) or getting it on console. 64 players vs. 32 is a huge factor.

If you're playing Battlefield for the single player you're probably doing something wrong.

Loos awesome... But, the trailer makes the single player plot seem very similar to Bad Company 2... with the whole "lost nuke" idea. Oh well.

That guy at 00:34-38 is in every military film and game, but what I first noticed was how well they made the character look exactly like him. I mean, wow!
