This game will be a sequel to Battlefield 2, return to a more realistic, less cartoony feel that Bad Company 1 & 2 and have. It will also have a single-player which is exciting as all hell.

I'm pumped, I've always loved this series from 1942, Vietnam and everything else.

You'll now drag buddies to safety, jets have returned after being missed in Bad Company and this appears extremely realistic feeling game. Can't wait to drive all the vehicles and kit up!

A remarkable understanding of the art of teasing is on display, with the 44-second montage accommodating around 12 seconds of quick-cut gameplay clips.

The clips appear to be taken from the game's singleplayer mode, with a mission briefing present, though it does seem that character animations have been greatly improved and it's now possible to drag wounded teammates from the thick of the action.

EA, keen to stir demand for the team-based shooter, are offering four multiplayer maps from Battlefield 2 as a pre-order incentive for the M-rated PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 game.

Urban environments are prominent -- Paris, Tehran and New York are confirmed as locations for the fall 2011 game -- though key details regarding the scope of online multiplayer, character classes, and faction choices aren't expected to emerge until at least March 1, the date of a Battlefield 3 presentation at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, California.
