God the single player of this game is SOOOO bad!!
Buggy. No polish. Terrible writing. Worst Quick Time events ever. Boring!
Thankfully the MP game is enjoyable. But even that is buggy. Three times now I have had to quit the game because the game menus F-ed up on me and I couldn't respawn or get back to the main menus.

I´m trying to play SP right now, but I made the mistake of replaying a mission to show my brother the graphics in the first level.
Now I want to go back to my campaign, but it loads Swordbreaker instead. And when I go to mission select I can choose Going Hunting, but only on easy, wtf.

It still seems silly to have a progression like that when you're not actually earning anything.The Faceless Master said:

So what are the differences between soft and hard-core BF3? Team-killing, no minimap.. anything else?

HC health is 60 percent of SC health, no killcams, and a couple of other things which I don't remember.

They were surprisingly frank in their assessment of the console version. Colour me impressed with the new, maturer, GT.

Yeah, the console version cannot be compared to its pc counterpart. I wish dice would finally release a damn demo version of BF3 so that I could find out if my 2 year old rig can still handle it (at least on low details).
But I dont want to shell out another 50 euros just to find out that the game does not run properly on my machine.

That was quite well done. Weird that the score is still a 8.8, but that's probably because they only mentioned the differences here between the versions and not a complete review. I'm hoping to see this non-sugarcoating a lot more.
EDIT: By the way, coop doesn't work for me. I can't connect to anybody, is it a port situation or can it be something else? Trying to set ports open doesn't seem to work for me (port checkers still say they are closed), so I'm probably limited to no coop.

What graphics card do you have? The game is extremely well optimized.
Had some really amazing games last night. There was a moment flying jets on Caspian in which the scene from Top Gun where he inverts the jet and fly's over the MIG's canopy was pretty much recreated. I don't know what the other guy saw, but I disabled him with my main gun, throttled down and flipped, and suddenly realized I was right above him. Went into free look mode and there he was. My favorite moment in the game so far

Must be shared accounts. No way you can put that type of time into this game yet. I'm just over 25hrs and it's felt like too much!

Its a ATI 4850 with 1GB Ram. I studied a gaming magazine yesterday and they had a huge special about BF3 and the hardware that you need to run this game. Pretty disappointing, I found out that I have to invest like 700 to play the game in its full glory and 60fps... a lot of money that I dont want to spend right now.RibbedHero said:

its a intel core2quad Q8200, 4GB system memory, win7 x64 OS. I am sure I can "run" the game, but I'd like to know how well it runs actually before I buy the whole product. I am so convinced of BF3's quality that I wouldn't mind buying the game twice.FoggyFreek said:

it would be 1680*1050, but I would not mind going sub-native-res to gain fps.
You know guys, thank you for your support, really appreciate what you are doing here, but without a demo its only a guessing game. Its actually mind blowing if you think of it. They release a game that certainly has its demands on ones hardware and then they *forget* to release a demo for everybody to try out and see how well their computer can run the game.

Has DICE ever explained their rationale for disabling exit from the post-game lobby on consoles? It really pisses me off, if I don't want to play another game with spawn point camping fuckers I have to sit and wait a minute or more before I can exit.

I'm not a big fan of this as well, but I have to admit that it happens not that much for me and on a plus side, I never had a situation where I waited the 30 seconds and the lobby just dried out in the meantime (as with other titles).
Maybe it was their reason to keep people in the game and hope that not all of them will quit once the new round starts.
Not a strong point, but that was the only thing that I was thinking about while trying to find a reason while waiting to quit a session or switch the server.
PS3 version here and you have to quit the entire game if you want to get out of the "wait for next match" screen.Zeppelin said:

Yep on consoles there is no way to back out, I wonder why. So stupid
Oh well, EA Online seems to be down anyway, can't connect at all.
EDiT: seems the connection issue is a bug, restarting the game fixed it.

Why is it when you're in a capture zone they put the marker half an inch above the reticle. Move it right to the top of my screen.
So I guess I completed the support class. All I'm getting next is some star specialization 2 thing or whatever. I'm rocking an M60 with IRNV, suppressor and it's pretty good. Probably not as efficient as the m249 with the same setup, but the m60 is too boss to let go. Single shot for long range, fuck it all out up close.
I'm thinking of switching the IRNV with the holographic. I still think it's the best overall scope, but not by all that much. You don't really need it in some of the more dense maps either.

It is the same on all systems, you have to quit the game. On 360 hit the guide button then Y.

I'm confused. Sometimes my assault guy has an optical attachment, sometimes just the metal crap thing
