First footage of iOS Battlefield 3 game revealed

It's been rumoured for some time that EA's been planning a mobile release for its massively anticipated Battlefield 3 game, due out for consoles/PC in late October.

After all, it belated released an iOS version of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 at the end of 2010.

Now, it seems that was something of a trial run for Battlefield 3; a game EA believes in so much it's going head-to-head with Activision's CoD: Modern Warfare 3.

And we know we're very unlikely to get an mobile version of that.

Of course, this far out, little has been revealed of the game, other than it's definitely coming to iOS devices, and is directly related to the console version - at least in terms of using the same marketing graphics.

The only gameplay shown has been a brief second of FPS footage, with the character in a what appears to be an Eastern-flavoured shadowy corridor between various buildings and with over-saturated sunlight streaming down in the distance.

For the record, the gun appears to be the standard Chinese bullpup assault rifle, the QBZ-95.

You can get a glimpse if it in EA Mobile's E3 trailer, below.
