Battlefield 3: Operation Gridiron Web Series Ep. 1 & 2 Released

By

Last week EA and DICE began running a web series where they took professional football players from the NFL and threw them into the world of Battlefield 3. The first episode was to get our feet wet with our gridiron heroes – linebacker Clay Matthews of the Green Bay Packers, All-Star Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, Minnesota defensive end Jared Allen, and 2010 Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees – as they recreated scenes from Battlefield’s Operation Guillotine. Below you will see the second episode as the NFL players get trained in field mission tactics and hand-to-hand combat. EA/DICE will release a new ‘episode’ every week until the official Battlefield 3 release drops on October 25, 2011 for the PC, Microsoft Xbox 360, and Sony PlayStation 3.

Filmed at a top secret location, these all-star athletes are provided the ultimate in combat training by some of the world’s most elite Special Operations Warriors. Following their advanced training, they must work together as a team to accomplish a live simulated operation, pulled straight from the gritty war scenarios players will face in the game.
