Christian Matkovic

"Thirty Four Minutes... I've been asleep for thirty four minutes - drinking a vanilla milkshake."

- Matkovic, after waking up at the start of Rock and a Hard Place.

Matkovic is a character that appears in the single-player campaign of Battlefield 3 and is seen or heard briefly in the Fault Line and Operation Guillotine trailers.

Little is known about Matkovic at this time. His first name may be Christian, as seen on the IMDB website. He also is heard having a Southern accent. He's a Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal technician attached to Misfit 1-3. He is also the only character to be wearing multicam camouflage as U.S. Naval ground units are allowed to.

He seems to be the slacker/don't care foil of the group, being made fun of during the second mission about his schooling, and then falling asleep in the truck on the way to assaulting Kaffarov's villa in Rock and a Hard Place, in which he, along with Campo, was killed by a Russian Su-25.

It is possible that he is of Slavic descent, as implied by his last name. Also; the quote above appears to be a refererence to a line from the 'A Burning Dog' episode of the TV series 'Generation Kill'.
