Exciting new Battlefield 3 Teaser Trailer- Analysed

This is why we game, for heart pounding moments like this. In a brilliant new teaser released today by EA, we got a glimpse at more new gameplay for this year’s gaming Blockbuster, Battlefield 3. In a short but sweet 40 second fuel-injected trailer an all new operation, named Operation Guillotine, is displayed for the very first time. Read on for an analysis and first look at the trailer.

Battlefield 3 has been gaining more and more momentum towards its late October release date and has lately become something of a media icon, especially with its COD battling antics. Over the past year we’ve seen an array of operations and spectacular action packed scenes all made possible through the powerful Frostbite 2.0 engine. Today we got a first look at a fully realised Battlefield 3 night assault with mortars, grenades and air strikes taking the explosive centre stage.

It’s safe to say the first thing you’ll notice in the trailer is the highly amplified, highly realistic sound effects; turn your speakers up high and listen to the vibrant soundtrack undertone the shrieking rockets, terrifying explosions and cringing screams of agony. With the now classic Battlefield 3 “Bvvv’s” rounding off the trailer it’s another sure fire indication of DICE’s devotion to realistic and draw-dropping audio.

The trailer also provides a visual treat, kicking off with a manic sprint towards a huge shining metropolis, it also certainly looks as though we are on the side of the aggressors this time around. The image then cuts to an awesome scene in which you aid a fellow trooper load and fire a mortar then follow a squad in to a small canal basin to take on a bunch of darkness shrouded hostiles. The weapons on display show a huge kick of recoil as they unload lead in to the mysterious opposition. The pure unadulterated madness of the scene is perhaps the most staggering feature with explosions and gunfire more prevalent than in any action scene I’ve seen in my life!

Then there’s the melee kill that caps off the adrenaline fuelled ride, it’s quick, brutal and grippingly efficient; your man knows how to get the job done. As we’re reminded that the ‘Back to Karkland’ expansion is available with the pre-order we are treated to a final display of the destructive capabilities that Battlefield 3 offers. “Get that grenade out!” we hear just as a super-sonic boom erupts from a building in front unleashing hell fire and brimstone. What’s more, this is all in-game; we’ll actually be able to play out these manic scenes.

As a last word we’re told that “Operation Guillotine continues 09/01/2011”, so expect more news then. Battlefield 3 is set for release on the 25^th (US) 27^th (AUS) and 28^th (EU) of October on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3. Of course, you can check out the teaser trailer below!
