  Wow fucking amazing!
  
  I have to say the visual fidelity has almost hit the real threshold this is very impressive tech, well done team you guys rock.
  
  I played Crysis 2 last nigh MP and I have to say this kicks its ass hard core, now don't get me wrong I will enjoy Crysis 2 and I am sure the SP will be nice but BF3 is something else.
  
  You can not help but notice the nice animation, very detailed environment, crazy lighting, and above all a very stylistic gameplay that is not intrusive but seems to work well.
  
  Mind you I have not played it but from that video I can not wait to play it \m/
  
  This shows you what DX11 can do, yeah baby :) what a great gameplay trailer (I loved that slow mode sniper shot effect, smart)
