Like Mashtuur City 16 but with 2 airfields. wtf?

Sure it looks tiny on that map, but look at the length of those airstrips and see how many of those you can fit from one end to the other. It's a pretty big map. Also, check out the video, you can see things pretty well in those jet parts. It's big

2.5.

So unless they increased the length of Runway by about 10 fold then its tiny.

Do the same for Daqing (a similar looking map). It's at least 4 time as wide/long or 16 times the area.

Oh good catch I didn't remember that until you showed me. I remember Daqing and Zatar being ridiculously huge though.

I don't know what to think anymore. DICE is really good at making teasers that don't reveal too much.

It also seems as though there will only be 2 armies - Russia and the US.
Kinda disappointing, I was hoping for some more armies. Even though the starting weapons will probably be clones of one another, it would have been nice to have a wider variety of locations to play in. I hope B2K includes the MEC/PLA and their guns, and it's not just Russia randomly occupying middle eastern cities and a pacific island.

didn't they say there might be Eu forces?

SP is supposed to have some kind of MEC like force, presumably in MP as well.

the A10 has a 15meter wingspan so the runway is ~375 meters

I dunno, it seems odd that it wasn't mentioned in the 'multiplayer fact sheet'.
Though one of the rifles mentioned (KH2002) is Iranian designed so that might be the 'MEC' assault rifle. Then there's that screenshot of the soldier in a blue uniform holding a P90, which I thought was EU forces....
It just seems weird that they haven't specifically named any additional armies.

The KH2002 is probs just in the SP campaign, as a good portion of it seems to take place in Iran. Some stuff from the trailers shows police in Paris as well, so I'd assume the guy with the P90 is GIGN or something.

I'm hoping for at least 4 factions. I don't mind there just being two, but some variety would be welcomed.

It's showing that the BF3 line is much larger than the MW3 line. Though you should take into consideration the fact that you can play BF3 at the BF3 booth, while the same cannot be said for MW3.

You can play MW3, just play MW2.

What ever happened to IW after MW2? I head there were a lot of people quitting and creating something called Respawn.
