Battlefield Play4Free
The LAV-25 is an Armored Vehicle in Battlefield Play4Free. Its Russian counterpart is the BTR-90. Its main weapon is a M242 Bushmaster 25 mm Chain Gun that does 60 damage; the alternate weapon is a BGM-71 TOW unlockable via Training specialization. It also has four passenger seats armed with light machine guns. It often comes off worse in a fight with a BTR-90 because the cannon have a significantly slower rate of fire than the cannon found on the BTR-90

Battlefield 3
In Battlefield 3, the LAV-25 is seen at the beginning of the Fault Line trailer where several US Marines, including the player character, exit an LAV-25. It makes a further appearance in the "Operation Métro" multiplayer trailer, where it is seen driving through a park with the player controlling the 25mm M242 Bushmaster chain gun mounted onboard. It has been confirmed that both the LAV-25 and BMP-2 will be amphibious in the game, allowing the players to cross rivers and lakes. The LAV-25 is also seen in the Operation Firestorm trailer. It can go very fast on tarmac roads.

The LAV-25 was removed from the beta version of Operation Métro, but remains in the game. It spawns on the wasp until the first set of bases are destroyed
