The highly anticipated first-person shooter game from Electronic Arts (EA) has finally given us a glimpse into its upcoming title – Battlefield 3: Paris.

In this latest trailer for the much-anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed BF2 series, players are taken on an adrenaline-fueled journey through one of Europe's most iconic cities. Set against the backdrop of World War III, we get a first look at what promises to be another heart-pounding experience from developer DICE.

The action begins in Paris with a gripping sequence set inside a busy Metro station. The camera pans across crowded platforms as explosions erupt and chaos ensues – it's clear that this isn't going to be your average Call of Duty-style shoot fest!

As our protagonist navigates through the winding streets above ground, we're treated to breathtaking views of vast open parks and urban landscapes peppered with ruined buildings standing testament to days gone by. The graphics are simply stunning here; every detail from broken windows shattering under gunfire to smoke billowing up into a grey sky is rendered so realistically it feels like you could reach out and touch it all yourself!

But enough about the pretty visuals – let's talk gameplay shall we? In typical fashion, BF3: Paris delivers plenty of intense action sequences where players must use every trick in their arsenal (literally speaking!) to take down enemy soldiers hordes with everything from assault rifles & rocket launchers at hand.

And boy oh boy does it deliver! From wall-to-wall shootouts inside abandoned buildings to high-octane vehicular mayhem hurtling through war-torn city streets, there's never a dull moment here. And if close-quarters combat isn't your thing don't worry – DICE hasn't forgotten about us either; take out an opponent up close with a satisfying knife kill for some truly EPIC moments!

But while Paris certainly steals the show (literally speaking!), it seems that most of the story will actually be taking place elsewhere - namely, in one very familiar region: Iran/Iraq. Alongside stops at places like Tehran and Tabriz, expect to find yourself fighting tooth & nail across miles upon miles of desert wasteland as well as dusty border towns along the Iranian-Azerbaijani frontier.

And if all that wasn't enough reason alone to pick up a copy when BF3: Paris drops later this year (yes folks, it's really happening!), be sure not to miss out on some additional bonus content too - namely, visits to two of North America's most iconic cities themselves; New York City makes its debut alongside our European counterparts in what promises to be quite possibly the biggest Battlefield experience yet!

So get ready for more action-packed action and heart-stopping excitement than you ever thought possible when DICE brings World War III straight into your living room with...Battlefield 3: Paris!
