  • I hope to see some new game features like something close to titan rounds like 2142 and zip lines god I loved that.

  • This is going to kill the competition.

  • YEAH!!!DICE FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • F*cking sick! Bad a*s teaser too. To answer Bertz question on what i would like added to Battlefield 3 is the ability to customize your gear CoD style... and, yeah thats all.
  • D@m come on let's not do a MWF2 thing..
  • Derezzed Battlefield 3!

  • Trent Reznor!!! Woot, Woot! His songs are in a lot of things lately! Loves it!

  • Well, that teaser did indeed get me...teased? Eh, I'll say interested. Seeing as I've never played a straight up Battlefield game (played the Bad Company series and 1943), I'm looking forward to the March issue so I can see what all the hype is about.

  • Its funny because if you listen to it, it sounds more like the ending to the music in every Battlefield opening cinematic than it does the Terminator theme.
    However, the last few notes are a little lower than usual. but who cares, it sounds awesome!
  • Yeah, did Reznor actually do the audio mixing for this? Because I was thinking that even before I read the blurb about it.

  • Honestly i think Bad Company 2 is very underrated. The thrill i get from playing that game is just unreal. Like what other game has you sprinting to revive an ally, with a Russian hind destroying the building you were in, with mortars dropping all around, and tank shells going everywhere? It is just pure adrenaline, and i love it!!!

  • It looks like they're trying to make this game HUGE. I know EA wants to overthrow CoD...

  • I really, really hope this game improves so much upon the 2nd one that it overtakes CoD from its throne. It looks like it's going to be pretty incredible.

  • wow! cant wait for 64 player online
  • They weren't kidding, it was just a tease. :(

  • If they mimic the way COD's multiplayer, plays... then i'll be happy.
  • As some said before, very much "the teaser." Doesn't really let us know much of anything, except to get us curious as to what is coming.

  • i wish the destruction in the battlefield games were as good as red factions.....

  • Use Youtube, your video player is balls.

  • Does anyone remember Joint Ops? They say 64 people online like it is a crazy huge number, but I played Joint Ops (a FPS with vehicles very similar to battlefield) with maps as big as 300 people! It was amazing, it really felt like a war, there was always so much going on. Oh well..
