1. No more health and ammo stations. Health and ammo are distributed by the Medic and Support character class. (A nod to Enemy Territory)
2. No custom character kits from BF:Nam. They stuck with the pre-built character kits from 1942. Thank goodness, no more maps without medics.
3. Iron sights. Hell yes.
4. The infantry combat looks much more solid. Excellent character animations, and a sprinting ability that looks like it's going to save your life many times.
5. Medics can revive fallen soliders with a defibulator. (Another nod to Enemy Territory)
6. Looks like they're really trying to balance infantry vs vehicles out. The infantry have some deadly anti-vehicle weapons, but the vehicles have some nice countermeasures like flares and smoke grenades.
7. Lots of things to encourage teamwork. You can join small squads, and the leader can give commands on the fly (ala SWAT 3), or go to the map and plant waypoints (which everyone in the squad can see). Also, as long as the squad leader stays alive, the squad can respawn next to him. This feature alone is going to make the game very interesting--keep the leader alive!

If you have a group surrounded in a building or something you want them to either run out of ammo or get killed, and if they have the leader with them they can just spawn new people...

Or better yet 1-2 shot kills from any of the major mods.

Except the explosions aren't big enough and the sound when someone blows up a tank, jet, vehicle or otherwise is pretty weak, not boomy enough... plus it seems to be the same sound used for every explosion. Variety is what makes it believable!

I don't know about you, but the models are looking really plastic to me. People bitched about the way the models and environment looked on D3, but this is just too much IMO.
Also, it looks like the different armies have the same vehicles models, just with a few different skins? Look at the tanks on the screenshot, the turrets are the only difference between them. Pretty weak if you ask me.

I hope that now - after the 1057th real gameplay footage video from some public demonstration - people would stop saying "they haven't released any gameplay videos yet!!1".
