Was going to name the thread "BF3 takes it to the beach" but I figured people would misunderstand it for a leaked video of a new map or something like that. So here you go:

(EA DE Apparently made the clip private so I moved it down and replaced it with the same video posted from another BF3 DE youtube channel)

Looks like EA Germany have gone and taken the war to the beach, with some form of summer contest campaign. Not knowing German I have no idea what it's about, but the later half of the video speaks for its' own.

When asked on Twitter if DICE had anything to do with this video, @repi from DICE replied with this:

@remandco absolutely not, EA DE

So what do you think about this video? I'm not sure I found it too funny, but I did laugh quite heartily when the troops got knocked over by beach balls. Though maybe I shouldn't with so many men lost to beach balls?

I'll say this though: Not bad when coming from the EA DE marketing department, and not made from DICE what so ever.

Ignore thevideobelow. I just moved it there until EA DE decides the clip is not private anymore.

This is....... amazing.

Haha.

This is what will be in the German version of Battlefield 3. You know, with censorship and all that.

Awesome video.

This is....... amazing.

I take it you all haven't seen last years video?
 
  

@Sogeman: Yeah I saw that one and judging by the Summer one, they have certainly stepped it up a notch.

That's pretty great. 
 
I'm actually close to getting Battlefield 3 just because of this funny trailer.

Video is private...?

Video is private...?

Aww the video went private...

@Vitor: Sorry about that. No idea why EA DE decided to hide it, but I replaced it from a different BF3 DE Youtube channel.

Saw it last night, laughed my ass off!

@Mr_Faraday: @IcySandman: Embedded a new upload of the video. Watch it while it's still up. :P

I don't know what this is about but its awesome.

Haha that was great. Damn you to hell murderous beach ball.

@Three0neFive: Gamescom brings out "all" the PC games mostly 'cause PC gaming is still huge in Continental Europe... And while most titles would just be ignored at something like E3 or other expos that are too heavily focused on the publishers rather than the developers, they still shine at Gamescom.

This. Personally I prefer consoles for shooters, because they are not very complicated to begin with, but I love me some PC-gaming.

War is hell... Especially on the beach with beach balls flying over your head.
