In the beginning of the single-player mission that was shown during gameplay footage, a Marine who is sitting in front of the player has a [[Beretta 92 pistol series#Beretta 92F/FS|Beretta M9]] pistol holstered to his vest. It can also be seen in the multiplayer footage of E3 that the player is reloading his M9. Another note of interest is that unlike in [[Battlefield: Bad Company 2]] and [[Medal of Honor (2010)|Medal of Honor]] (multiplayer), the M9's magazine has 15 rounds + 1 in the chamber like it should be. An M9 fitted with a suppressor can be seen in the Co-op trailer. | In the beginning of the single-player mission that was shown during gameplay footage, a Marine who is sitting in front of the player has a [[Beretta 92 pistol series#Beretta 92F/FS|Beretta M9]] pistol holstered to his vest.

Two different "reload-from-empty" animations currently exist. The "Fault Line" trailers had the player rack the charging handle, while the Operation Metro trailer, and the PS3 Fault Line gameplay from the June 16th, 2011 edition of Jimmy Fallon's Late Night show, had the player use the bolt release button. Another thing to note, the M4A1 depicted in the "Operation Metro" trailer has full iron sights and has not been seen with an optic. Not to be mistaken with the M16A3 in the trailers, which is lacking a front sight post/gas block with the ACOG attached. | The Colt [[M4A1 Carbine]] is commonly seen in gameplay footage which is also in the hands of the main character.

It can also be seen in the multiplayer footage of E3 that the player is reloading his M9. Another note of interest is that unlike in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and Medal of Honor (multiplayer), the M9's magazine has 15 rounds + 1 in the chamber like it should be. An M9 fitted with a suppressor can be seen in the Co-op trailer.
MP-443 Grach

The "Fault Line" trailers had the player rack the charging handle, while the Operation Metro trailer, and the PS3 Fault Line gameplay from the June 16th, 2011 edition of Jimmy Fallon's Late Night show, had the player use the bolt release button. Another thing to note, the M4A1 depicted in the "Operation Metro" trailer has full iron sights and has not been seen with an optic.
