All we know is that they are left unfazed by the numerous explosions happening around them, and there's all the usual staples of war: gunshots, explosions, and people wiping their dirt-stained faces (okay, mostly the first two).

Hop over to a gun turret or rain fire from the heavens by tagging targets with a laser. We get to catch glimpses of just how destructible the environments are (make sure to keep an eye on the trees and the walls). Come to think of it, this is just the second Battlefield: Bad Company video we've seen so far and it's looking good.
