Well, not quite. You can read our Battlefield 3 first impressions for an idea of what it's really like.
The shots are taken from both the multiplayer and single palyer portions of the game, consisting of action shots as well as a few vistas that show the amazing draw distances and effects the FrostBite 2 engine is capable of.
