Battlefield 3

[AndyP & Lenore]

I'm on just now.

Jury's out but it's growing on me.

[AndyP & Lenore]

Well, played for a couple of hours tonight and I can see this getting traded for MW3 in a couple of weeks.

Far too much going on, absolutely NO idea how to control anything. No option (as far as I can see) to go back to main menu after a multiplayer game has ended. I think it could be an incredible game if there's 8 of you who play constantly and you can put yourself in the same squad and give each other specific tasks etc, but quite a bit of the time when I play there's only me and one other or two others. Me and ferengo couldn't seem to join each other and when we did we were on opposing teams.

Oh dear.

Sorry guys.

3 minutes into this tonight and it just reminded me of how absolutely crap this game is.

Ditching B3.

Going back to COD

Sorry for anyone who wants to play B3, it's not for me.

What's so bad about it? I was thinking of getting this. I didn't mind BF2 and love the online multiplayer game so I was hoping more of the same just a bit more advanced and some new locations.

Alex, I suspect it's a bloody fantastic game if you want to play the way this game runs. It's far more team driven than COD. In B3, even if you're not in a team of your own buddies you can chose to join a "squad" and the idea is you work together to complete objectives. It's much more realistic warfare than COD. The trouble is, I only play 2 or occasionally 3 times a week, and more often than not, there's only 2 or 3 of us at a time.

With COD I can pick the game up, jump in and just start spraying bullets at the enemy, running around reasonably confined maps like a headless chicken. It's fast and furious and I love it.

So, despite all my B3 bitching, it may well be a decent game if you like that sort of game.

One thing that does annoy me though, is once you are in an online game party, there's no way to get back to the main menu to change to campaign game. can't understand why that option isn't there.

yeah i don't really like the game. but it is slowly grown one me tho it is a lot better when you can team up with friends because most of the time when your just on your own no one seems to go for the flags etc
