That looks more like Call of Duty than Battlefield. Regenerating health, narrow corridors, CoD style reloading with infinite (as long as you have bullets to put in them) magazines, no sign of vehicles, basically not what I was expecting from Battlefield 3. As the OP said, however, it is very pretty. That has to be the best lighting I've ever seen in a videogame.
There was regenerating health?
As for most of what you said, I just read a big article on gamespot (I know, I know, but it's the only place I found one) about the entire video. It does have vehicles apparently, which makes me happy in the pantaloons.
Well, it has the bloody screen effect, and no visible health bar. The bloody screen gradually faded, which suggests to me that it does, in fact, have regenerating health. If the final version turns out to have a proper health bar, I'll feel much happier about the whole thing. The vehicles are good news too, and that suggests there are much larger maps that we haven't seen yet; the map in the video doesn't have room for a jeep, let alone for helicopters, tanks, and fighter jets.
It's still a shame about the way reloading works. If you look at the HUD in the video, you can clearly see that there is no magazine counter, just a number for the bullets remaining in the magazine, and the total number of bullets. The old
Battlefield games had a number for the bullets left in the magazine, and a number of clips remaining. Reloading before emptying a clip threw out the remaining bullets.
