Greetings gamers and welcome to this preview footage gameplay of Battlefield 3. This is a 12 minute video showing off some of what you will be expecting when Battlefield drops later this year. This is  a new take on the Battlefield franchise, as well as a new direction from Bad Company series. Here is some quick information about the video:

Staff Sgt. Black and his team of U.S. Marines head into the bad part of town as they move to the rooftops to eliminate an enemy sniper in an abandoned hotel in this full 12 minutes of gameplay from Battlefield 3, featuring never before shown footage.

This in-game footage from Battlefield 3 shows off the ANT animation technology. As the explosive finish to the Battlefield 3 Fault Line series draws near, Sgt. Black is tasked with disarming a home-made bomb, leading to first-person melee combat with the bomber and a large-scale firefight in the streets against massive opposition.
