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.

Christian Matkovic is a character who appears in the Single Player campaign of Battlefield 3 and is seen or heard briefly in the Fault Line and Operation Guillotine trailers.

Squad Missions
Little information is given about Matkovic in the game. His first name is supposed to be Christian, as seen on the IMDB website. He is a U.S. Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal technician attached to Misfit 1-3. He is seen in the game following orders from Misfit Actual or Cole, assisting the Misfit captain in squad missions, and briefly assisting Blackburn in some operations.

Death
He seems to be laid back, by falling asleep in the truck on the way to assaulting Amir Kaffarov's villa in the mission Rock and a Hard Place, in which he, along with Steve Campo, was killed by a Russian Su-25 in the valley of Araz.

Trivia

 * Matkovic is always seen with an AT4 Rocket Launcher on his back, and even though the AT4 is needed in some stages of the campaign, he never uses it. But he passed on the AT4 to Blackburn while trying to eliminate an enemy sniper in the mission, Operation Swordbreaker.
 * In the mission, Night Shift, Matkovic is seen manning a M240B, wearing a MARPAT uniform, and sunglasses. This is the only mission where Matkovic had a different appearence.
 * Matkovic wears a different-patterned camouflage uniform (Multicam rather than MARPAT) than the rest of the squad.
 * He is heard having a southern accent, probably a Louisiana accent given the fact that his voice actor, William Meredith, is from Louisiana. Also, William Meredith provides Matkovic's Character Model.
 * It is possible that he is of Yugoslav 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'.
