The Swedish-based developer made the two videos only twenty-seconds in length, and offer a mere hint of action. Those waiting for a bigger video, though, haven’t long to wait - DICE is set to pull the curtains back with a full gameplay trailer on March 27th.
That date is two days into GDC 2013 - meaning press will get an early look at the product. But for now, gamers will have to make due with the two ‘Prepare 4 Battle’ teasers, and try and forget that play-on-words was attempted.
Without further ado, here’s the first two ‘Prepare 4 Battle’ teasers:

The game engine certainly looks great, and the notion that DICE revamped sea-based combat will have peaked curiosity from those interested in the oft-overlooked type of warfare. The game takes place in the modern timeline, which means there will be no shortage of high-tech weaponry and espionage tools for gamers to utilize during combat. Of course, we’re expecting the actual gameplay to contain about 100% less bokeh than the end of those trailers.
The series has always come highly regarded as an entertaining and team-oriented game, offering plenty of strategy to counter the usual madness of rival games like Call of Duty. With up to 64 players on consoles, Battlefield 4 will certainly be giving the Call of Duty world a run for their money. Until March 27th, however, we’ll have to wait to see what the combat actually looks like.
What do you think about the videos, Ranters?
Battlefield 4 is expected to hit shelves later this year for the PC, Xbox 360, PS3, PS4, and Microsoft’s next-gen console (but maybe not the Wii U).
