Default BattleField3 - Epic game!!!

One of my prezies from the wife, played for a couple of hours this afternoon in campaign mode off line and it blew me away with the effects and the realisum of it. X-Box 360 btw.

No bullshit music like MW3, just all out war and tacticals etc

Spent 5 minutes online with it didn't know what the fuck was going on so walked away till I've learnt it a bit lol

Anyone else get it and happy with it?

Wasn't a fan when I gave it a play to be honest, but I might just be too used to COD controls and movement etc.

its a great game, the game play itself can get very intense . my only disappointment was that the campaign seemed quite short and id completed it quite quickly. im not an intense gamer so i usually like to get a couple of weeks out of a game before completion.
all this BF3 v MW3 stuff goes over my head, theyre both great games with great graphics. MW3 seemed to last a bit longer though.
im evilfuzzy2011 on the xbox by the way.

BF3 is a first person?. can you set it to 3rd person mode? i prefer 3rd person where you see the whole character , like GTA.

If a game played A-Team music when you did cool shit, I'd buy it regardless of gameplay.

I quite enjoyed the single player campaign.

I was a bit disappointed with the online play, I was under the impression it was going to be similar to the original battlefield 2. It's just the same as bad company 2 really. I thought it'd be back to more detail with commanding available etc.

BF3 is awesome! COD is child's play in comparison.
Its hard at first but the more you play it the easier it will get (better guns and know the maps)
Its pretty tactical... best when you have 4 of your mates in your squad and you all have head sets.... I've found it best If 2 of you be a medic to revive each other and the other 2 be assault to replenish ammo!
You also have "perks" which you can level up to "squad perks" (so your whole squad benefit your perk) If all 4 of you pick different perks makes you a stronger team!!!
Have fun!!
