Going into town later. It was payday last Friday do is this worth picking up?

Yes. Servers are a bit dodgy because it's only just been released, but the game is amazing

Most annoying thing is people playing Rush, i'm trying my ass off to try to defend the bombs and then you get people sitting at the back sniping just going for kills? They should go and play TDM.

So, is it recommended? Much of a difference from the Beta?

I'd imagine so, just think of what you can do on this as opposed to CoD:

(1) Jets, Helicopters etc... online

(2) More people in each game than on CoD

(3) No campers, more tactical really (IMO More fun you may not think so though)

(4) More game modes

(5) Bigger maps

(6) Environment is involved in this game i.e. if you hit a building with a rocket you'll see it, maybe with a big hole in the side, or generally just crumble the fucker to the ground

(7) And more importantly, less 12/13 year olds who go round spinning round with their snipers and shit, for some reason more kids opt for CoD as opposed to Battlefield, so that'll do me nicely!

As a COD man who has never played Battlefield I must say that is an impressive list. The jet simulator looks awesome, saw it on youtube. Does Battlefield have problems with servers as COD and having to upgrade patches? Thats the one thing that fucks me off with the COD series of games.

If he retires I'll eat my fucking cock.

Great anti climax for those expecting jizzihno....

What a chore this is to load it on the 360. Save the 2 discs to the hard drive, comes to around 15 gig, then downloading the HD content and all the other bits and pieces you get with the game

Every year I go for CoD as opposed to Battlefield but not done so this year as Black Ops and MW2 haven't really been great whilst this years Battlefield just looks too good, maybe I'll buy CoD when it drops in price but I'm pretty sure BF3 will be better than it, it just has so much more than CoD, see list for example.

If you've got the limited edition you've then got to go off to the market place to get your free stuff then go to eagunclub to go and get the pistol that you can unlock...

Then we must all wait for Karkand :(

Brilliant so far. Loving it, my fucking god I'm bad at flying helicopters/jets though. Really awkward when you get in a helicopter and 3 others get in with you, they have headsets and are asking you to go to the 3rd flag but I end up crashing about 10 seconds after we take off, killing us all ;D

I just had a game where I got in a helicopter for the first time, had one passenger, managed to take off, fly to an objective, then just lost control, bailed out and parachuted down while the other bloke crashed. Never again.

As I'm running off I see a message in the chatbox "heli pilot wtf".

You have posted literally nothing of substance to flame about.  Your "points", and I dread to call them that, were superficial and completely arbitrary.  Nothing you said could be argued against because nothing you said elaborated a position of any kind.
