Got the game today along with the online pass but have decided to do campaign first.
The Campaign: Probably completed most of it in the 3 or so hours i've played so far and its quite good, if a little predictable and generic in places. And as with most modern FPS campaigns its also way too short!
Gameplay: The actual gameplay impressed a lot though, it felt far more like you were 'there' being shot at and this helps to discourage the lunacy seen in most Call of Duty games. This is the thing that really bring's BF3 above COD as it feels like a far more realistic shooter, especially when you get shot. The sounds are also generally impressive with bullets rushing past and echoing when you fire. The variety of roles in the missions is also good and unlike the already mentioned Call of Duty you get a good idea of where the story is going and why you are doing what you are doing.
Summary: So far so good then, Campaign is not without faults but feels realistic and has a reasonable storyline. And finally I can't wait to join everyone on PSN online very soon!

You're probably right, but if that's true that's a shame because not only does it mean people will want to buy the DLC if they haven't already, but it also means that those with the DLC will lean towards the DLC weapons. That kind of sucks because I hate it when everyone is using the same gun in an online shooter, particularly when there are so many to choose from but also because I personally like to be good with everything so I switch my guns often (which is why I have a maximum of about 250 kills with any one gun after 210 hours). Having a few guns that are objectively better might be fun for some but I don't want to be at a disadvantage just because I don't want to jump on any bandwagons.

Indeed, but they wouldn't have then removed that power so massively if they were looking to make people buy the pack would they? The weapon attracting all the heat now is the M16A3 and it has been for a long time. I feel if they were the evil company trying to grab sales they wouldn't address the complaints and definitely wouldn't overreact as they did with the FAMAS because they then completely remove that selling point. Alternatively they wouldn't let the M16 run riot in the Assault kit.
Of the new DLC the only weapons I think you could really call class dominating is the SPAS and M417, the M417 creates a class of it's own in the Recon kit and sort of negates other semi-autos to a degree but not completely. The SPAS however I do feel completely dominates the shotties, that being said it's not alot better then say the M1014 but it is just a little bit better then all the others. I feel the 870 should get a tightened spread like the SPAS now and the SPAS should have a middle spread between 870 and M1014. I don't want the SPAS to get nerfed to hard, it creates a shotgun option outside of super close quarters despite the fact everyone moans about them for dominating Close Quarters to a degree (which is surely how it should be!).

I wish my campaign worked
For a while there was this one spot in a mission that I couldn't get passed without crashing back to the main menu. To fix it I just restarted the level. Haven't had any problems since.

I remember just before I took out the sniper in the hotel across from the rooftop, there was a scene where the entire team waited behind a door, then one of my team mates opened the door and we all went through it.
Second time I played that mission, the team mate opened the door, but it didn't animate.
All my team went through a closed door, and of course, I couldn't.
Restart.......
👍

I have been trying to play BF3 but without the CQ DLC I'm just at a disadvantage. The M16 is the only weapon that can put up a fight against those weapons. The MTAR-21 is by far one of the most accurate, powerful weapon I have ever used on Battlefield. Then again the ACR and the Scar-L are great also. DICE really should keep the DLC weapons equally balanced with the regular game weapons.

MTAR-21 accurate
Each of the guns have their pro's and cons, For example.
.SCAR-L = very low rate of fire - only suitable for mid to long range engagements.
.ACW-R = Great carbine for mid to long range but deals less damage up close than most + only has a 26 round mag.
.MTAR = Very powerfull up close due to fast rate of fire, Anything past close to slightly mid range and your praying.
.AUG A3 = Quite Normal assault rifle more suited to long range engagements due to only firing 700RPM very much in the L85 mould in my opinion.
.LSAT = Nobody uses it, has nothing going for it really. Average at best.
.L86 = one of the strongest and accurate LMG's but considering its just a heavy barreled L85, it should be. also has the fewest rounds in its mag out of all LMG's.
JNG-90 = L96?
MP5K = mag size along with its fast rate of fire severly hampers it.
I think only the SPAS and M417 could be considered OP'd and the M417 is stretching it i think, as i know plenty of people who still prefer the SKS. I do however think the SPAS is slightly glitched or just maybe a bit OP'd.
And also i think that its not these new weapons that are causing the problems, I think the answer is that the existing weapons should be improved, not bringing the Close Quarters weapons down.
These are only my opinions on the weapons, But i will stand firm on one thing. The MTAR should not be considered "accurate"

Me and that viking guy were doing work.
Something wrong with that report, squads aren't right. And I don't know why every player has that triangle with the (!) In it.?

If you stayed we most likely would have won.oo
They had a great pilot I had to kick for base rape after I warned him twice from messaging and then caught him again. He killed me twice as I spawned in the bottom of the carrier and twice after that on deck. My first kick and there's 2 days left on a 90day rental.
Warned 1 other and they stopped.
They did manage to maintain one of our choppers most of the round tho. And that pilot was really good. Along with a solid tank of 3 who must have been communicating, made for some intense battles. And also a couple or few triple kills
I should have switched to an engineer but I was having a good go supplying Viking while he was Med for me.
I ran out of the capture area so many times chasing a bad guy just as we were about to turn it. Sucks being first one in, clearing a few out then running out as your (usually late) backup arrives and gets the capture.
I had a lot of fun making. *click* and watching things go BOOM! C4 is fairly new to me.
Edit ELLIS: thanks

Pro's and cons...
I have been using the FAMAS since the Back to Karkand released. That makes MTAR-21 accurate.

There was no mention of the FAMAS in your first comment, So i dont really know what your trying to get at. Unless you realised how incorrect your original MTAR comment was, And added this FAMAS sentence to try and actually show a bit of logic in what you originally said.
Even though, I would still argue that even the FAMAS is more accurate at range than the MTAR.

Yup. Real nice flying. Somehow I pulled top helicopter. I was only in it that one life with you flying.
