Can be seen [here](http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=U8HVQXkeU8U#).

Thoughts?

I think it looks gorgeous. There is no way my current rig would be able to support that. I wonder how the single-player is going to play (heh) out. I didn’t even try to play it with the 3rd. I stuck mostly with multiplayer.

That may be a bit too realistic.

The single player appears ot be yet another attempt to copy COD, something that got them in trouble last go.

The multi-player will hopefully be good. But who knows, since they didn’t show it off.

[“Is he dead?”  
“He’s not dead, he’s just passed out. You’re the Combat Life Saver, man. You should know this, Pat!”  
“It was like a three hour course!”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=U8HVQXkeU8U#t=855s)

That made me laugh (I took the Air Force’s three hour course).
