Any feedback would be appreciated.

It is a games console. I use it to play games. Sharing my game activity is a nice touch but I have a PC and smartphone for my 'social networking'.

Please put all the power of the machine in to running games now 101 apps, nothing to do with gaming.

I'd say you are spot on with that comment.

The multiplayer is alright and enjoyable but not fantastic and ground breaking but I don't think that is what the game is aiming for. Everyone I know and have spoken too has said this game is all about the single player and CO-OP modes and is glad to say that. Developers are focusing far to much on multiplayer now and sacrificing the single player which is why I'll be looking to get GR:Future Soldier.

As mentioned above S&D wouldn't work on a full size map in BF3 I don't think, unless the map was shrunk as in TD. But regardless of that I think S&D would be too similar to Rush mode and wouldn't be worth the development time.

This is an ironic thread...right?! :shock:

I'm having the HARDEST time finding a good squad. All my real life friends are Call of Duty die hards. I literally don't know anyone who plays. Which sucks the fun out of the game for me since I can't get people in my squad to actually support me. I'm not looking for super LE37 players, just a few guys who are fun to play with and will actually communicate and use teamwork.TrogdorBrninatr

I'm in the exact same boat. So please (anyone interested) add my GT: Diacyn and I will greatfully accept and be happy to anyone interested.

Does anyone know if the HD download will be able to be installed before BF3 ships or do we have to wait until release day?

If your not buying BF3 just save yourself some money and buy MW 1 or 2 as they're just the same as MW3.
