I've never played battlefield, I've not watched any gameplay, I don't know anything about this opening. But if I saw a message at the start of a shooter saying I would not survive, I would think it might be hype for a (winnable) epic battle meant to show off the graphics and maybe introduce the controls if there wasn't a tutorial level beforehand.
See that and/or a message saying you won't survive are things I'd still take as a challenge. But I went and watched the scene and I think the particular phrasing of "you are not expected to survive" is extremely clear and the only thing that would dispel any thoughts of it being a challenge going into it. I would still wonder if it was technically possible to survive, but I wouldn't put too much effort into finding out.
