Battlefield 3 (pc, xbox 360, ps3)

Actually I got a pretty decent session with a full squad last night. The lobby system worked fine.
I'm really happy the developers added a server browser and squad management into BF3. BFBC2 didn't have any of this in consoles, so it's cool they listened to the fans.

I played the PC version a little and I like the game, but Origin almost ruins it. I played with a friend and we couldn't get voice chat working to save our lives. We ended up resorting to Skype. Half the time our text chat messages wouldn't come through either.

Also, the fact that you can only launch the game from a web browser is just retarded. Because of this, you can't even play the campaign without an internet connection. All of this BS almost makes me wish that I had gotten the PS3 version.

The F-18 section was utterly mind blowing. Wow what an assault on the visual and audio senses. I was just in awe of that part.

It opens up your default browser, so if it opened up IE then it must have assumed that your default was IE.

I have to agree. Sadly, I wish it wasn't so much on rails. I would have loved to be the pilot. I am glad it allowed us to play a Helicopter level in co-op. That's were I learned how to fly it but still need to learn some more about it.

Finished the campaign. Underwhelming to say the least. Unpolished, incredibly disconnected QTE's, scripting problems, and a ton of screen tearing were my main issues. Paid $10 to play multiplayer and while fun, at the moment there is some bad lag with servers here and there. I feel like the mantle jump is interesting in the campaign but in multiplayer it seems a little jenk. Sometimes you'll jump to get through a window and NOPE. I cannot think of the last time DICE released a multiplayer game that actually worked great at launch and I do not know why I keep giving them money. That being said, multiplayer is still the best part of the entire package and if you can wait for another few 100 meg patches, it'll probably be alright.

Yea something tells me people are buying on PC and when they find out that you need another client and another account they are f**k this and not playing it. I hope that the fing battlelog is not used with the steam version when they release it.

I'd be incredibly surprised. For that they'd have to take the time to build in a whole new interface for the PC version, and it seems they kinda have a hard-on of sorts for this new system. At this point I'd even be able to overlook battlelog and origin if they could make it more stable. That's all I want.
