IMHO this game only got hyped because of Carmack's involvement with the so called 'MegaTexture' implementation. The problem is that it is hard to notice how it improves the graphical quality or art direction. It still looks like an old engine. In fact I was go as far as saying DICE's engine equals it in almost every way...

... and don't get me started on the load times, OMFG!
