Aye looks cool

yes.

They have to be pretty. These things are very simple compared to somthin like planetside which has 1000x the depth. If they didnt look pretty there wouldnt be anything new, cause they sure dont bring any new gameplay in all these sequels. Although i do have to say that teh BF games are still vastly superior to the terrible CoD games for multiplayer. And i still may get it, it cant hold a candle to PS, but can still be fun for short periods. however i will not buy anymore CoD games, MW2 was terrible enough.

I just spit juice all over my monitor. Sure PS has scale (and perhaps a few more inches of depth) but if you think graphics are the sole reason I'm no longer playing PS and am playing BC2 you're delusional.

(here's a different link..somethings up with IGN's player for me. http://www.ea.com/battlefield3/video...line-episode-3 )

I'm just glad prone is back in Battlefield it seems. That's kind of a big deal to me, and I never snipe.

Question: is this a continuation of the BC storyline, or is it completely different?

Different. This look much more serious too. Much lighter on the humor aspect, much more realistic feel. It looks like it handles well too. Anyone notice what type of helicopters they were using as the player popped up out of the basement? And if you stick with the trailer past the text, there's a nice bit for you too.

It's a continuation from Battlefield 2. At least that's what I heard. I never played the storyline in BF2.

:/ i was a fan of the BC humor. Oh well, 90% of games now-a-days are online where there is no story right?

I was a fan of the humor as well, but this game definitely looks like it will have a long campaign (well, compared to most FPS's at least), just based on the amount of locations the developer mentioned. And did you see how many locations they went to? This is all on one level. I think their campaign design could be awesome.

Battlefield has never been a game where single player has mattered to me.
In that respect it's just like any other modern warfare shooter. The lengths you'd have to go to to make a real worthwhile story and avoid being pure cliche is rather immense. Yeah it might be fun to play, but it's not going to be a Bioshock or Half-Life, it's just not the focus.

Not that I wouldn't be super happy if they managed it.

i can't wait for this game
