I wouldn't rely on it too much not being just another April fools joke. But then again I heard there was like 8 full pages about it. If it is an April fools joke, thats commitment
I talked to my inside agents at EA, and they confirmed there is such a thing, using BF2 engine. That's all the info they had though. When it makes it into Beta, I'll get a chance to look at it in the hardware lab, I'll report back when that happens.
