Battlefield 4: Fishing in Baku Gameplay Reveal

The Battlefield 4: Official 17 Minutes Fishing in Baku Gameplay Reveal premiered on March 26, 2013 on YouTube, coinciding with screening events held in San Francisco, California, USA, and Stockholm, Sweden.

Synopsis
"Battlefield 4 will release Fall 2013. The "Fishing in Baku" video is shot entirely in-game and is the first glimpse of the human, dramatic, and believable single player campaign in Battlefield 4. Available for pre-order now."

Tombstone-3—a four-man unit led by Staff Sergeant Dunn—escapes Baku, Azerbaijan with valuable intelligence. The player controls Recker, and is assisted by Irish and Pat. Following a messy rendezvous at a safehouse, with Irish having to fend off dogs and Russian infantry in an open street, they plot their escape. Their primary mode of extraction is a UH-1Y Venom ("Firebird 2-1") piloted by Hawkins, who leads them towards a factory. Tombstone-3 encounters a patrol halfway across a field, but manages to commandeer a VDV Buggy with Hawkins providing close air support.

Inside the factory, the team ascends to the roof for extraction, but their escape is foiled by a Mi-28 Havoc that destroys the factory and Firebird 2-1. They struggle to free Dunn, who is pinned underneath factory debris near the burning wreck of Firebird 2-1. A local worker arrives by car, but is turned away by Irish. Dunn demands that Recker help free him by amputating his trapped leg.

The Havoc returns, opening fire as the team drags the unconscious Dunn towards the car. They lead the chopper on a chase down a coastal road towards a secondary extraction point, and manage to bring it down with a grenade launcher. But as they dodge the Havoc's wreckage, their own vehicle plunges into the Caspian Sea. Trapped inside and sinking, the reawakened (and re-pinned) Dunn orders the team to abandon him. (This scene is pre-viewed at the start of the trailer.)

Elsewhere, senior US staff regret the loss of Dunn, as the intelligence merely confirms their suspicions of an alliance between Russia and a Chinese Admiral Chai(?). The US Navy Captain (presumably in command of a Task Force in the Pacific) is then ordered to continue towards China as planned.

The video concludes with a montage of scenes, many of which were hinted at on the Battlefield web page.

Trivia

 * Recker carries an M16-style weapon with top-mounted rapid transition/backup iron sights that are used by holding the weapon at an angle.
 * The video does not show BF3-style Suppression, suggesting it may not be part of the BF4 Campaign, or even the entire game.
 * Spotting is now used in Campaign as a form of issuing attack orders to your squad and air support. The spots last longer than the typical 7 seconds in BF3 multiplayer, with an HUD icon and audible tones indicating its use.
