Battlefield 3 gameplay trailer Oscar Mike
The third part of the Battlefield gameplay trailer series is on the move today, with reckless bomb disposal and quick-time event melee combat.
The third part of EA's Battlefield 3 gameplay trailer series is on the move (or 'Oscar Mike,' as we say in video games) today, continuing the action-packed tale from the first two.
The two minutes of snippets including shooting faces, rather reckless bomb-defusing, running for cover, and some quick-time event-tastic first-person melee combat.
EA promises a "full 12 minute reveal" on April 17, which may well be the presentation we previewed at GDC. Battlefield 3 is scheduled for release on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 this fall, developed by DICE.

Comment on Battlefield 3 gameplay trailer Oscar Mike, by Alice O'Connor.

Shortly after the Ghost Busters saved New York (again) Dana Barrett married a man by the name of Sir Ebenizer Cornwallis Mike, Esq, and took his name. As such, so did her newborn son Oscar (named after a hot dog). Unfortunately, Vigo the Carpathian was never fully exorcised from his infantile soul and he began his 1000 year reign of terror shortly thereafter.

The 'story' of these games is pretty much an afterthought...you're in a war. You're going to do the same things in SP as in MP, just MP will be more dynamic, so I would think that'd make for cooler 'stories'. I know what you're saying, it's just that hoping for a cool story from a modern military FPS...

I do like a good single player storyline, but I just don't like on-rail type games :\
Good SP Storyline with elbow room - Witcher, Dragon Age, Elder Scrolls, Diablo etc
On-Rail type Storyline games - CoD, Metal Gear etc
I don't think shooters have very good storylines, but there are rare ones such as Half Life, Bioshock. Crusta, I think you are burnt out on Multiplayer because you play over the internet, something I rarely do these days. I like my multiplayer on a LAN with a few good friends. Makes things really fun and not frustrating beyond belief. I recently bought Monday Night Combat, played with a few buds on a LAN, had a BLAST. Tried playing online, got wiped all over the floor. I mean, it's just not fun. I also get wiped all over the floor in Quakeworld recently with these guys but the difference is I feel like I know them, more on a personal level, so I guess that's a good middle. But I know what you mean. -

Their reluctance to show multiplayer gameplay thus far seems like a strange decision to me, for two reasons:
1) It's what the Battlefield series is best known for, and what most of the PC users are probably waiting for.
2) The single-player, while featuring great graphics, really doesn't look innovative or, for that matter, particularly fun.-
they already know they have the PC multiplayer fanatics following the game closely. They don't need to drum up hype from that crowd yet. They're busy trying to draw in more of the CoD/MoH singleplayer crew first. I would think it's also significantly easier to create a vertical slice that demos well for singleplayer earlier in development when multiplayer is still undergoing plenty of changes/tweaks.

DICE are sending out weird signals with this. They've said previously that the reason for 1943 and some DLC for Bad Company 2 not making it to PC is a question of resources. Then they go and dump so much into the single player of BF3. It had better revolutionize the fps genre because otherwise its all a waste in my view.
BF3's big draw is multiplayer, I don't give a shit about the sp.-

Color me skewed, but of the 6 individuals (friends / coworkers) that I personally know purchased CoD MW1/2 and blops, two of them played maybe 2 hours of the sp, and the rest of their time was spent in MP. I can't believe there are individuals that get CoD for just the single player. All of the record breaking stats are tied to sales and how many cumulative hours gamers have been logged in the MP. The news stories rarely mention anything about the single player unless it's related to SHOCKING section of the game that will give mothers across the world nightmares that their darling baby bastards are going to become murdering psychopaths as a result of this new-fangled game coming out.

I think it's because it could galvanize people. they don't want to stir up shit, so it's carefully controlled. instead of releasing things that would suggest something to latch onto to spin up negativity, keep it generic and safe.
they've seen a lot of marketing produce a PR meltdown and nightmare, so i think it's wise to play it safe-
Can someone list any of the PR that worked negatively against BF2? Or BFBC2?
Nothing DICE / EA have done to compare to the ineptitude presented by Robert Bowling and Activision regarding the antics they pulled with promoting CoD MW 2 and the great IW.NET debacle.
Unless mum is the word and they are going down this road as well...

As has been pointed out by myself and others... The SP is being shown off to entice those that don't buy BF games for MP only. Those that buy BF games are going to buy it for the MP regardless of what these videos are showing off. Because prior to BF3's release, we'll all be in the public demo beta anyways SCREAMING WITH JOY!!
I think it's a very poor marketing decision by EA to go this route, and it's really doing nothing more than keeping the game fresh in everyone's minds every two weeks.

It's really a weird dynamic happening with those military shooters. For a long time we await a new game (COD, BF, Homefront, etc) and we get previews of the single player and that's what we discuss, critique, etc.
Then the game comes out, people play the single player for a few hours - if at all - and then they play the multiplayer which is a completely different experience, it shares the same engine and that's about it. I really think the single and multi aspects of those games should be considered different games and thus discussed separately. I think that would be a much more honest way to go about things. -

Man. I am so glad battlefield has a story now.
It's the one thing I was waiting years and years for since Battlefield 2 and 2142.
Actually, I don't really care about the single player reveals. It's some sort of bizarre marketing push meant to butt heads directly with CoD's strong point instead of just. I dunno. 1-upping them in multiplayer by putting these resources into MP-based DLC, some of it free.
