'Battlefield Hardline' Official Launch Gameplay Trailer

Just when you thought the six-minute gameplay clip for Battlefield Hardline released last summer did its job in showing how much havoc is wreaked on Los Angeles, Electronic Arts released a new trailer that practically tells us to expect total annihilation. Everything you imagine that can inflict Michael Bay-level property damage — massive explosions, car chases, various objects crashing into buildings, bullets being pumped at everything and anything that moves — is pretty much what you see in the video, with the addition of cops and criminals physically beating the hell out of each other. We do get a little more of the storyline with bits of dialogue here and there, but it’s all pretty chaotic for the most part.

Battlefield Hardline hits shelves on March 17.
