Oh sure, the latter two were shot at 1/8 game speed or so, and then sped up.
It's possible to enjoy CloD, but atmospherically, it's naive to suggest that it isn't lacking in quality and ambience.

There are some super vids out there, love that 'pulse', just great!
having said that I can't play the damn game because of the last patch!

Only pointing out that CloD can also look good in a promovid. Just like BF3.

Understand what im getting at?

Fair point then. Whilst the video shown looks like live-play, I take your point.
TBH, comparisons are pointless; as has been said, BF3 has an extortionate amount of money spent on it, it uses a reliable engine (not one newly created for it specifically a la CloD) and clearly can have such nice graphics given map sizes and the like.

EDIT_I apologise for my previous comment. The internet makes me even for a cock.

BFBC2 looked great so BF3 will deliver.

It's not that a simulation cannot look like this theoretically, but nobody making simulations has the budget, and even if they did, nobody has the hardware to run graphics like that at the same time as a complex simulation.

We can dream of the future though. Just wait for the mind/machine interface :p

Actually the engine (frostbite 2) is newly created just for BF3 and is multiplatform.
