Battlefield 3

I completely agree with you, I don't see what the hype is about for this series.

I recently picked up BFBC2 for the campaign, and I was very unimpressed. It felt very unpolished, with so many little things done wrong. AI teammates were on their own program, overuse of smoke effects made it very difficult to drive some sections and made it impossible to see the enemy who obviously isn't affected by the same smoke, story was fairly uninteresting and lacked any real exciting moments. It really felt old, like the way the original COD and Medal of Honor series played, but really wasn't a memorable experience in today's market.

I've only tried Battlefield 3 beta a couple times, and it feels like the same game to me. I've yet to enjoy a multiplayer match, and while people are raving about the teamwork aspect, but I just can't get into it. I also tried the beta on PC, and I will say the whole experience made me want to cry.

I will be renting it to play the campaign. Can't wait to gun the LAV-25, but I'm not expecting too much from it. Hopefully we'll get a PC copy at the office, because I'd love to check out some of their tech on DX11.
