Looks okay but it needs more Shortnin' Bread: 

  
It's kinda sad how DICE went from mocking these kind of solemn trailers to making one themselves.

Argh, EA just wants us to have more likes on the Battlefield Facebook page. I only have one to give.

Oh well, the 17th isn't too far away.

I just want this to be it, the last modern warfare fps. I just don't want to shoot virtual Arabians in the head anymore. 
In fact, I hope that mainstream gamers will wisen up soon, and stop forking out for DLC packs, annual franchises and the like. BF3 could spark a PC 'golden-era' where developers concentrate on the PC, which will benefit games in general.

God I love that music/noise they use when showing the logo. 


Anyone else miss the character design from BC2? The ones here look too...normal.

I'm gonna be pissed if my computer can't run it xD. I had some frame rate issues with crysis 2, it went from 60 to 30 to 15 a lot, might just have to get a new video card.

Funny, usually trailers are like 'this is pre pre pre alpha footage'.

I do really hope they don't go all god of war 3 on us and the level they are flaunting is the best looking thing in the game. And I might start looking for a flight stick soon...

Sometimes you just have to sit there and thank the PC platform for these breakthroughs in graphics.

@Killjoi: I think it's a great thing that they use both. Bad Company is a different product with a different attitude. Satire and seriousness both have their place.

@Killjoi: can't promote a serious game with humourous commercials :/ thats part of the bad company single player selling points.

As long as the sound effects are still awesome dice will keep me attracted to these adverts till release :) Cant get me enough of that distortion :D

Destructible environments should be a standard in games of this kind.  Can't wait to play it.  
It feels weird to have a game that makes me want to upgrade my PC.  That hasn't happened in years.

@Cypher:  oh right, totally stopped watching till then. There's also like 3 seconds cut in from the full thing. Though I've seen the end part already from the leaked video a few weeks back.

PS: I hope they change that dirt you're kicking up while running. Looks stupid since it's on every surface and way too much. Reminds me of the COD Mortar (I think it was a mortar, only saw a video) that had the exploding ground texture included in the explosion, so regardless of where it exploded it would always be a giant dirt cloud...even in the sky.

@Agent47: It's more to do with this assumption of it revolutionising the FPS like it's predecessor did. Everything I've seen of it so far is Call of Duty what with higher res graphics and vehicles, which is kinda what the Bad Company games are. I want to see something different and interesting or else this hype continues to be totally unjustified.

This. Although I would argue that DICE is going for a more serious tone than it did with the BC series. Just as long as BF 3 doesn't turn into COD, I'll be happy. If they don't let you level buildings I'll be pissed.

fighter jets, tanks, and keffiyehs oh my!

Also I love that ever since Bad Company 2 DICE has animated their soldiers leaning into their turns, it's a nice touch that I haven't seen elsewhere.
