    @FrostTee: I didn't have time to watch the whole thing, but I have to say one thing: I remember when BF1942 was the most beautiful graphics masterpiece that I had ever seen and I had to go to an internet cafe to play it.

    Hey, does anyone know which video was the one where it was semi-historical, and when they talked about Battlefield Vietnam they had the dude piloting the chopper listening to NSYNC? I can't find it!

    They Mentioned Star Wars Battlefront. If any first person shooter needed a 3rd game, it was Battlefront, why the hell am I playing BF3, I want SWBF3.

    Thanks for sharing this video. While I may not own every game of the Battlefield franchise (Modern Combat and Bad Company never really felt like it controlled right on the consoles), I have played all of them, right from the start with the Battlefield 1942 demo. While the documentary brought up no new information for me as someone who lived through the expansions, it certainly was very interesting and brought back a lot of fun memories. This video was definitely a good use of 45 minutes.

    All of the trailers, and the soundtrack remixes, ending with Battlefield 3's signature static-y bass/percussion, has me pumped to get back into the game whenever my friends are around tonight. It's been a good decade.

    Good video. Vietnam was underrated. It was a ton of fun. The Vietnam expansion for BC2 was super fun as well. It's funny, because I've been listening to CCR lately, which is present in both. 
     
    1942 was fun because there wasn't all this crazy stuff that was built into the game, you had to do it yourself. And Battle For Britain. Oh man, that was the best map ever. Planes for everyone!

    That makes me want to play 1942 and DC and BF2 again.

    I loved that map on 1942 where you were trying to get off the beach and up the two hills it was just like the start of saving private ryan !
