A Look At the Ascended, Dead, Imaginary Sidekick in Battlefield 3

In this scene from Battlefield 3's campaign we see the spirit of Dmitri "Dima" Mayakovsky's great grandfather driving a car in downtown Paris.

Haunted by his failures in Vladivostok during the trailing end of the Russian Civil War, Anatoly Mayakovsky's morose spirit rose from the dead in the early 80s to begin assisting his great grandson Dima in his covert cleaning operations. The supernatural pairing catapulted Dima's career as a special operations cleaner for the Russian intelligence agency GRU, eventually sending him to Northern Iran to investigate the theft of nuclear devices from the Russian government.
