Anyone can add me on Battlelog for PC. I just got done with some amazing rounds and am itching for more:

Kojacked

Add me on Origin if you'd like to as well.

I don't see how you can say the UMP is OP anymore.. it was pretty powerful in the beta but now it takes at least 10 bullets to kill someone

Dice is going to buff it again.

I have only played the first mission and I thought it looked incredible. Funny how people I've talked to and seen on forums think the campaign is amazing but reviewers all marked it down for the campaign.

Its not all about the graphics, compared to the MP the campaign lacks really, in its own way is really good but compared to what you can do in multiplayer it severely lacks.

I was expecting something like Bad Company(the first one) where the areas were quite open and you can take millions of approaches, here is really similar(if not equal) to a COD campaign, yes is good but I really liked when you could take a tank and blew up the enemy, or take an Sniper and take down everyone from a mile away, or go bananas with the grenade launcher. Apart from that, the story and some elements of it really lacks and there is a certain sense of COD Black Ops Deja vu through the whole campaign.

I know... You killed me 5 times in rush with it yesterday :p

I've played engineer almost exclusively and I love the scar and the a-91. I've got 2 service stars with the scar so far.

Jets are a ton of fun with heat seekers and flares. I shot down a tank with the machine gun on Caspian yesterday too :)

I'm sure you got me at least that many as well. I played enginerd in the Beta, but I've been playing assault in the game.

Yea, I was surprised about that.
 
Just finished campaign. It felt a bit like COD but it was gripping. I did like the who do whatever you wanted style of BFBC2 though (the humor in it as well was great).

QFT, I wouldn't say it's an incredible campaign or story, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. It did remind of Black Ops in alot of ways in terms of story but ultimately I think Dice did a better job pacing it and the actual gameplay atmosphere is just so much better to me that I still enjoyed it more then any recent COD games campaign offering.

That being said multiplayer, as expected, is definately where it's at and I am most certainly hooked for a long time to come.

Is the multiplayer experience better than the Beta? I wasn't too pleased with the Beta. Felt too CoDish to me.

What platform are you on? On the PC, it's absolutely nothing like COD. The 64 player rush maps are crazy. When you are defending it is pure madness. I'm not really the type of player that likes non stop in you face action, but the sounds alone make it worth playing those big rush maps. My surround sound has never sounded as good as BF3 makes it.

If you didn't get to play on caspian borders during the BETA, you can't really judge the game. Metro is the worst map on it for any game type of game mode, except the smaller 32 player rush modes. I haven't tried squad rush yet, so maybe that's what metro is good for. Every other map on the game is 10 times better then metro.

Yeah I played on Xbox and PS3. It wasn't so much the game speed that was bothering me. It was the movement. I loved the controller to person movement feedback in Bad Company and Bad Company 2. It just didn't feel the same in the BETA.

I found the beta weightless to a point where i eas unsure of my inputs but trust..the final build feels very good. Been playing it a day now online and i think i was right to trade in bad company 2 ..

Maybe on PC. Metro is one of the best IMO for CQC which I feel lacks in a lot of other maps. That and a well thought out design. Conquest isn't as fun as it used to be in BC2 because it's very crucial to how good your team is and which objectives you can hold first.. very little room for flanking on some maps

By the way did anyone say they preordered from Best Buy and didn't get a preorder code? I just got an extra one in an email, so if you haven't got one let me know

I just hate where they put the flags for conquest and made the map pretty much just the tunnels. It's so hard to get B if the other team has it. They just rain down grenades and bombs the entire time.

I actually like rush on metro, but it's still not very good at representing what the rest of the game is about. It's so much different the every other map, it's odd they chose it to be the BETA map. I'm sure it turned off alot of battlefield fans.

Yeah conquest wasn't thought out whatsoever it seems. Every time I have played it on CQ coming from outdoors, I have been pinned down. EVERY TIME! There are no flank routes, there is nothing to cover me from pushing through and forward.

On Rush I think it is great. But I think the idea of Battlefield is the whole package is what people like. Yes there's vehicles, but it is a FPS first and foremost, which is what I like to enjoy just as much if not more than the vehicle warfare. It really shows what you are made of and the weapons are more apart of the game than tanks, to be honest. I just wish they add some scenery to provide cover in areas that desperately need it
 
I'm getting really fed up with online, it's literally impossible to play against people with high ranks. I have no guns that have optics and I can't hit anything with the iron sights at long range so I'm constantly getting picked off from miles away by people with better guns.

Added to the fact there's not enough servers for hardcore makes for a very unsatisfying online experience.
