I was never actually in a squad with you guys, being in a different squad almost feels like being in a different game!
If you don't have any DLC, don't want the game itself installed and don't want the hi-res texture pack installed you only need around 2GB of space.
Here are the required installs:

That's actually not too bad. Thanks!
No way of buying stuff online.
Besides I just returned from London where my employer went into Administration which left me poorer than before.
Don't follow you dreams, kids. Not worth it.
I felt Karkand was overall the weakest. Even Close Quarters was good. End Game or Armored Kill's my favorite.
Karkand is good
Close Quarters is made for CoD players
Armored Kill is made for PC
Aftermath is good
End Game is supposedly good

I keep coming across people saying end game reminds them of BC2 maps, which is awesome.
Man, BC2 had some strong launch maps, perhaps the best launch maps since H2.
Panama Canal
Valparaíso
Isle Inocentes
Arica Harbour
Port Valdez
White Pass
I even enjoyed Nelson Bay.

Rofl.
I have Battlefield 3 and Back to Karkand on Origin, but my computer can't run it.
Oh well, I got it for free anyways. I think PC gamers look down on BC series, but BC2 was god tier, and BF3 didn't even come close to touching it for me.
I agree completely. Arica Harbor Rush is one my all time favs. Same for Panama Canal Conquest. Bad Company 2 was great.

I hate how Karkland was day one dlc, never got it and from the sounds of it... the launch maps are far worse than it was.

Agreed.
PC gamers mostly hated the fact that it was console orientated.
Perhaps, you should give BF3 another chance with end game and CTF coming soon for non-premuim members.
As a side not, it seem like dice have made a lot of improvement across the game, especially when it comes to UI. Like being able to create and join a squad more easily in game, and bieng able to quit after a game ends in the stats screen.
Although BC2 still has a better UI, I miss when it would tell you what map came next, whether you were attacking or defending, and the location of the M-Coms on the map.

Too bad the twitch app is bunz..
Eh, figure I'll trade TR in after I beat it and migrate to the new shitty ass Gears game.

Fair enough.
TR is great, shame there is no replay value in it at all.
And the MP is atrocious, don't know why they really bothered.
My condolences to the Ellis family.
I agree. Part of that is probably that I have BF3 on PC and they don't tend to play a lot of Rush, which I prefer over Conquest since it's generally more focused and paced less like deathmatch.
It really is great, I'm like 8-9 hours in and have yet to be disappointed/frustrated with anything in the game, really rare for me now a days.
It even has me wanting to check out Underworld & Anny, I've slept on the TR franchise since the first one, lol.
^ My thoughts exactly Havok, Rush to me is such a better gametype than Conquest.

I just realised that the Requisition mod can be used in Fiesta. .-.

Day one DLC? It came out about 6 weeks after the game.
Yeah, I had to stop. Two or three games in a row where my teammates both resigned in the first 10 seconds of the game. It's like.. whhyyy.
I built a secret base and then harrassed them with a scarab until the very end though :lol

I think I mean I hate how codes came with pre-order copies of the game, kinda the same thing as day 1 dlc.
All the DLC maps are infinitely better than the base game.

Life v. Flash is so damn good.
not really? it was more like "thanks for picking up our game so early so here's the first map pack for free"
at least that's how i saw it
and now if you get a new copy of Battlefield 3 it has Premium so you get all the DLC now too.

One thing I disliked about HW is the party restriction for 3v3s. You can't even play them if you only have two players ;[
So much room for improvement to an already fun game. A sequel with SmartGlass integration just makes too much sense!

I was actually thinking about that a few days ago. I think I might. I know nothing about the game, though. Would I have to buy a bunch of DLC and stuff?

What a lovely UI.
yer mmom
but seriously, very Halo 3 like, I forgot about how nice Wars' UI looks. [/spoilers]
I'd recommend getting at least one expansion. They're worth the money. Look around; you might be able to find the Premium Edition (comes with all 5 expansions) for a good price. If not, you could always get some MS points for cheap in the Buy/Sell/Trade thread.
As far as not knowing anything about the game, no problem. Once you play for a bit, everything starts to click. Since you've only played Halo MP for the most part, it might take some time, though. The game isn't so great when playing alone, but working in tandem with a squad of friends rivals Halo imo. It gets really intense.

Controlled exclusively with Kinect.
CONTROL THE BATTLEFIELD ONLY ON KINECT 2.0 (requires a permanent online connection, check your local ISP for details)
You know, at this point, I wouldn't even be surprised if this happened...
