Does the BF3 fag really want to know?
It plays like CoD4/MW2, but at time feels like Black Ops. The point streak system, especially the Support and Specialist packages, is an awesome feature. I've only really played TDM so far; once I'm familiar with the maps I'll probably revert back to S&D, depending on my rank (as will need Assassin (old Cold Blooded).
I played for about 6 hours last night, so I must be enjoying it. Might give Kill Confirmed a go later, as that looks like a decent game type to hit the high end of the Support strike package. The Survival mode in Spec Ops is fucking awesome, also. Trying to outrun a Juggernaut to reach your downed teammate before he merks you is hilarious.

You build a 'strike package', rather than killstreaks. Assault, Support, and Specialist.
Assault includes such things as Predators, Attack Helicopters, AC130 etc.
Support includes UAV, CUAV, EMP, Sam Turret, Recon drone etc.
Specialist includes perks, so as well as the 3 you start with, you can gain another three.
If you die whilst building a Support chain, your chain does not break. Therefore I could have 9 points, building towards an EMP (18 points) and die, but I will restart with 9. It's a way of rewarding players who don't equip deadly pointstreaks, I suppose. I had it on all night yesterday.
Also you don't necessarily need to kill someone to get a point for your chain. Capturing/defending flags etc also count towards it. Not experienced this yet as only played TDM.

If it's a match full of really good players, and they have the Assault chain equipped (deadly killstreaks) then they still have to put together 7+kills without dying to get to really good killstreaks.
If they're using the Support chain, then yes they will build bigger streaks as they don't reset upon death, but they're more than likely getting non lethal things like a UAV or EMP. Only the booby trapped crate and stealth bomber are lethal killstreaks in the Support package. Oh, and a Juggernaut suit with a riot shield.
It is much more balances than it seems. Plus a Sam Turret (shoots down all air support etc) can be obtained with only 5 points (not kills) and will take care of choppers etc.

The African level in Survival mode is really difficult since there's no good strategic locations (that I can find). I ended up hiding in the back of the tent with the Weapons laptop and was actually holding out quite comfortably with my brother until the Juggernaut came and well...you can guess the rest.

We've only done Paris and London on Survival.
The Juggernaut's aren't too bad. Just have a Predator ready for them; if it doesn't kill them, they'll only need several C4s to.
I actually love running around for the first 12 or so waves with the Model you pick up off a dead enemy. Getting a Rampage of about 6 of them is awesome.

Do I need to watch Arsenal? Can't I just watch Romford Rejects? :Joel:
You're doing it wrong!
I finished the campaign last night. Took me around 6 1/2 hours to complete. Really short, but I don't really care as all I buy it for is online. Which is funny, as I haven't actually got online yet. Hopefully tonight.

Just got the game today for pc and much more impressed than last years game.Infinty ward games are so much more impressive than what Treyarch spews out trying to keep up with them.Last years single player mode was awfull just rush, rush all the way through with to much going on.I think it was the first cod i've just got bored of while i'm playing through the single player campaign and not completed it.
The graphics seemed a bit samey at the start of mw3, but as the game goes on the graphical beauty of this game really shines(on the pc).
I just end up standing about for a couple of minutes just in aww at the graphics at times, while an annoying cunt of a fellow soldier just keeps telling you to hurry up:lol:
The scenery when your on top of the submarine with the skyline sorounding you is amazing with maxed out graphics .
I know this game sells like hotcakes and is really enjoyable to play, especially online, but i really think they need to shake things up in single player mode.You feel like your on rails to often without multiple ways to attack your enemy because the map is usually very closed off.
I know you guys are all playing on the consoles but props to Infinty ward for optimizing this game so well.A lot less demanding than the last couple of cod games.It uses about 50% gpu power even with full AA on.MW2 needed some real gpu power in fog to and smoke to keep high frames per second but this game is just butter with very constant fps.
TBH thogh Treyarch and infinity ward have always had good optimized games for the pc, shame others can't follow suit with a true next gen platform.Companys like Rockstar who were built off the pc really could learn some lessons of them.

Rumour has it, these files were found on the disc of the Xbox 360 version:
*Sigh*
Don't get me wrong. I'd love some of the older maps back, especially Overgrown, as IW seem incapable of conjuring up any good mid-long range maps anymore, but I'll be fuckin' damned if I have to fork money out for the same maps, for what must be the third damn time now in the last few years.
