Both the single player and the multiplayer are wonderful. I enjoyed the single player campaign in BF3 FAR more than the last two Modern Warfare games. (Didn't even finish Black Ops and I have no plans on buying MW3...)
Zero Punctuation is hate packaged as comedy. It's not actually a place to go for objective game reviews. The truth is, yes, BF3 has some flaws, but overall, there's a shitload of fun to be had and I feel sad for anyone who is so jaded and cynical that they couldn't find that fun.


Objective Game Reviews? How would you even do that?
Also: IMO Battlefield is BY FAR the best multiplayer-online-shooter out there. For me it's like a combination of CoD 1, Counter-Strike and Battlefield 1942. And this is the holy trinity of online-gaming - again if you ask me.

Hooray. Another super-scripted rail shooter with zero replay value. I prefer to play in the sandbox worlds of Elder Scrolls/Fallout/Stalker.


Ditto. Even multiplayer isn't that good. I love Battlefield especially with the destructable buildings. Does MW3 even have that yet?

Supposedly it's also coming to the 360; this fact makes me worry for the simulator aspects that were tossed out for MW4, Mech Assault, and to a lesser degree, MW3. Looks promising so far though. It's also using Unreal Engine 3, which makes me worry for the size/variety of the environments and the overall "feel" of piloting a 70 ton, unwieldy endo-steel 'Mech.

Something about the inescapable light, floaty, intangible feeling of all the Unreal engines when they're used for non-Unreal intellectual properties...Tribes Vengeance comes to mind. Something that's kinda hard to explain. Unique properties like Tribes and Mechwarrior seem to be the type of game where the game engine should be built from the ground up to suit the authenticity of the experience.

If they can get past those hurdles and other longtime fan concerns then this game will definitely resurrect the part of my inner child that died when Duke Nukem Forever was axed.

Approaching this with skeptical enthusiasm if such a thing exists.

Even not counting the videogames the Mechwarrior/Battletech universe liscense is HUGE, although the audience might be alittle older now. I really stopped enjoying the videogames after MW3. The first Mech Commander and MPBT were greatness too.
