Yeah, it still looks sexy though. Looks like the proposed new Back to Karkland map, which should be (must be! has to be! please be!) multiplayer. Better be anyway. This video should've been visible from my link but I think I messed that up didn't I? Cheers for relinking FireFalcon.

Yes, damn EA. Why put a single player mode in when multiplayer will do? Just spend those wasted hours in developing a truly epic multiplayer game instead or, being cynical, speed all those post release patches up and get them to us sooner. I want to revisit the glorious days of um, Battlefield 1942 with the DC mod and um, have all those good memories of getting repeatedly slaughtered in base/raped by planes/spawn killed time and time again and all the other fun stuff revisited but better than Battlefield 2, which, good as it is, never had the soul BF1942 had.

Here's the official skinny on what to expect on the game:

Battlefield 3 leaps ahead of its time with the power of Frostbite� 2, the next instalment of DICE's cutting-edge game engine. This state-of-the-art technology is the foundation on which Battlefield 3 is built, delivering enhanced visual quality, a grand sense of scale, massive destruction, dynamic audio and incredibly lifelike character animations. As bullets whiz by, walls crumble, and explosions throw you to the ground, the battlefield feels more alive and interactive than ever before. In Battlefield 3, players step into the role of the elite U.S. Marines where they will experience heart-pounding missions across diverse locations including Paris, Tehran and New York.

More detailed blurb on the site... Looks like we're going downtown, Manhattan style, then boys. And a quick visit to gay Paris and our good friends the Iranians, where it should at least be nice and sunny!

Thats if iran doesnt tear itself apart like libya/egypt/tunisia/bahrain/etc before we get there ;D

Guess we'd be playing Sim City in that case.
