See it appearing on YT shortly. Short coop demo with a nice 64p conquest on 'caspain border (iirc)', and some nice footage of jet combat. What intrigued me most though, Natty, was, what the hell was that bomb disfusal bot all about? :P

I wonder if the burning forest is a  background vista or a gameplay area.

Ok, I have to admit, graphically, that looks very nice.

Megaton. Still not a big fan of the infantry combat, but the map looks very pretty.

Graphics are very nice, but thats about it. Not much interesting gameplay was shown IMO, more of the same old-same old. It was however hard to analyse the gameplay fully as the camera was jumping all over the place, so maybe they're still holdingh off with the good stuff.

Saw it live during the press conference. I wasn´t really impressed by the coop mode. Animations and everything look nice, but infantry combat looks far from "revolutionary" and "immersive". Weapon handling looks not really different from CoD, either and I can´t really see why Andy McNab was casted as a "weapon expert". The guns don´t really have realistic behaviour and can I see auto-heal and orange doritos? Meh...Oh, and why did they show the coop mode on the PS3? Ego-shooters on consoles are just crap and you could clearly see that they had problems aiming properly with a console controller...
The Caspian Border trailer looked good, too. It achieves the feeling of fighting on a "real" battlefield instead of walking through one long "hose", but you can´t really see the actual map size, so I´m eagerly waiting for a mini-map. Finally we could see jets in action and that little EOD robot was kinda funny, too.
But so far I still can´t see why BF3 will be the FPS of the year and unless I´ll see reasons that´ll convince me otherwise I won´t preorder it.
EDIT:
Here´s the minimap. Not as big as I hoped :/

This looks great, but I still don't know jack shit about how it plays...  I only see people being all RAMBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...

What I wanted to see is more info about the suppression system, deployable MGs, destructible environment (i don't want that crap with SMGs suddenly taking down whole houses  :P) and stuff like that.

Still, I have to admit that this will beat the crap out of MW3...

Tanks regain health? OH MY GOD! I thought you guys were only kidding... Why on earth would they do that, how is this better? I'm just speechless.

Only 4 classes seems like a downgrade as well.

Suppression system and ability to deploy weapons is a nice surprise though

Why would you list Coax MG as a specialization, I thought that those are standard issue nowadays... /troll
