Re: Why so much hate?
10/10 for a game. It's one of those games which comes across every 4 years, has depth, style, fun and a lot of replayablity. Polished across the board. Considering how massive the game is, I have found little to no bugs which have irritated me to frustration.
However, as a Battlefield game, and as a successor to the last true BF title (BF2 and it's mod BF2142, ha!), the game is severely lacking in a fundamentally important aspect.
-Teamwork elements. Squads suck. 4 players leaves barely room for a good bunch. No default VOIP makes it impossible to group up with random people. DICE got it wrong at some point when they got schooled by Infinity Ward in how to create a community around a game. First you play with strangers, then add some of them to your friends list, because you like playing with them. Instead, we get it backwards. I rarely see squads attack or actually do crap together, because they aren't forced to do it. It's much better for me, a BF "veteran", so to speak, to squadhop and spwanhop, because it's more "profitable". And in the same time, it's useless to be a responsible squadleader and keep yourself alive in the moment of need, waiting for people to spawn on you while you are hiding close to a flag, when everyone is too busy looking for spawnpoints closer to the couple of "profitable" chokepoints.
As a BF game, BF3 literally blows (unless you play it competitively or in a more organized community, but we're talking about a small minority here). I'm playing a fantastic game, on par with COD4, but it's anonymous and offers more benefits from actually not being in a squad and it just doesn't support or promote actually networking and meeting with/new people.
In BF2, I was adding people or recognizing and jumping into squads with folks on the first week of gameplay. In BF3, all I have is a few hackusations and a few teamstackers, whom I recognize.Leave a comment:

Re: Why so much hate?
Thanks everyone for being mature in your responses, i appreciate it. :)
What i wanted to say is that i really enjoy the game. Last night i was playing with my friend on Coop it was amazing, and today we will be playing some MP servers, obviously when playing with a friend its awesome, but even when i flew solo its awesome. I dunno but i could never give this game a 7, i believe the lowest i will go is 8. The best unbiased review i read out there was the PC-Gamer one, you guys check it out:

Re: Why so much hate?
It's a fun game but it isn't the game I hoped it would be. It's good for a play every now and then, but it's not a game I can sit down and play for hours.Leave a comment:

Re: Why so much hate?
Its a fun game and has an amazing engine. Putting bugs and whatnot aside, I think the biggest issue(for me) is some of the gameplay decisions dice has implemented. Smaller maps, less features, etc. I still enjoy the game and dont think its going anywhere....until they push the next big BF game through the wood chopper and kill this one off silently. That game....yeah its probably gonna suck.Leave a comment:

Re: Why so much hate?
If I had the problems others had, my score would have been lower. Im the 1% though that didnt have any issues. Almost any anyway. The few I had I figured out.Leave a comment:

Re: Why so much hate?
Oh Eagle, youre just a mouth piece for EA. DICE has fooled you and the console failure that BF3 is.
UPDATE: I would give it an 8/10. I dont think it deserves a 9 because of all day 1 - 30 problems that people had as well as the changing of terrain deformation.Leave a comment:

Why so much hate?
After a week of suffering because of RAM failure in my PC i finally got a chance to play BF3 today and it was just so good. Played Karkand 64 and it was the most orgasmic battle on Karkand full 64!
Started, running through familiar territory, reached Hotel, battle begins, bullets whizzing by, trying to get a peak, a tank comes crushing down a fence 1...2...3 rockets hit, disabled, running low on ammo, mag in, last mag left, take enemy out, pick up his kit, run through tight alleyways taking a peak spotted engineer on roof, fire burst shots, he fires rpg, take cover! am hurt need to replenish, team mates arrive situation under control, heading to final point of capture, running on open ground...flint of a sniper's scope everyone scatters, i take prone by trainyard, sniper is pinning us down, mortars assist, its a bloody battle...welcome to Karkand...Battlefield 3. Badum dum de dum dum (BF theme tone).
to me BF3 is an easy 9/10
