Do you want to see a proper chunk of Battlefield 3 in action? Then you're in luck, as EA and DICE have released a new gameplay trailer for Battlefield 3, boasting just shy of three minutes of pre-Alpha footage. It's 2014 and you're a US marine sent into Iraq to help restore some order to the streets. What could possibly go wrong?

Fault Line: Episode 1, as it's called, shows you and your USMC team being briefed on the situation before heading out to what seems like a very quiet area. Almost too quiet in fact...

Not to worry though, as the action soon heats up and things get a little too intense all too quickly. Check out the trailer to see the first gameplay episode, then look out for the second part on March 16th. There's also three screens to take a look at below.

Battlefield 3 is scheduled for release in autumn 2011.

I'm looking forward to this Hopefully it is as great online as BFBC2

Can't wait for this. gonna be Awesquam!
