Exactly what I was thinking. Damn good graphics, but when it started showing shooting gameplay, it just felt like any other shooter around. Let's wait and see.

That last 15 or 20 seconds is the sweetest thing I've ever seen.

I'm sure there is a much more sizable amount of people who wouldn't buy it without one

I can't wait for this to be released, and having Activision make a feeble attempt at challenging it with MW3. I generally like Call of Duty but it's been in a coma since the fourth one, and I believe Battlefield 3 will simply blow the head off that series.

Oh, and those fighter jets looked fucking great.

" Either the video is slightly sped up or they have the game running at a super silky smooth framerate.Hopefully it's the latter! Even if they are running it on some monster dual graphics card setup that's still a really impressive framerate considering how good this game looks.My heavily overclocked 470 should run this really well if what they have said so far about performance is true. "

Thats because Frostbite2 engine 
take full advantage of the  DX 11 (10?) on PC 
with no support for DX9 (nor, therefore, Windows XP) .

While I can't say I like the dialogue, I do like the kinda Hurt Locker vibe I'm getting from this game.

I wouldn't buy it without one but that's mostly because I have a 360 and i think it's fucking stupid to pay for something free everywhere else.

this looks really fucking stupid. everything, but especially the part with the sniper. TAKE A SHOT WHEN THE ENEMY IS BEHIND COVER, THEN LET THEM RUN TO THE NEXT COVER, LIKE FOUR TIMES IN A ROW. SO REAL.

the only reason I will check this game out is the multiplayer

I wish the rounds being fed into the truck mounted MG were animated as he fires.

I'm underwhelmed by this. I feel like I've played this game already about 6 times. Other than it being pretty and the destruction which is just window dressing I'm not seeing much reason to get excited by this video.
