wow, the game came out at earliest at midnight last night and you already have 20 hours played in less than 24 hours?
Yeah....Im at like lvl 65 after 20 hrs played. One thing I noticed is that it takes approx the same amount of XP to go from 1-60 that it does from 60-80. So you leveling slows down a whole lot, but it's offset a bit by the fact that in later levels you're getting challenges and match bonuses that are way higher than at start.
Probably going to end up taking about the same amount of time to prestige as in MW2...40-50 hours. Compared to the way too short 20-30 it took in blops.
Check your connection status. When I am even at 3 bars and the majority of the other team is at 4, I've noticed that it makes all the difference in those split second interactions.Tonight was much better. The attack helicopter is amazing. And I love how your KS resets if you max out and still haven't died.
I'm still finding that I'm 0-for-everything when I turn a corner and see someone. I lose that battle all of the time.
Wow, the game is getting a lot more negitive feedback then I thought. My copy arrives tomorrow. I wonder if I should just wait for a few days till the smoke clears before opening it/or returning it?

Well, don't buy it for the campaign. The game is short, graphics look identical to mw2 from 2009 and the story is too hard to follow or care about.
It's like finding a pair of old jeans and wearing them again, they feel good until you look down and see a hole in the crotch and that mustard stain you forgot about.
I've finished the first level in SP and have to say, the SP in MW3 completely rapes the SP in BF3 for the amount of time I put in. MW3 just makes everything feel more realistic, more action packed, and it really immerses you into the experience where as BF3 felt really bland and boring for some reason.
And the first level is nothing compared to the rest of it. The second level is one of the highlights for sure, but there are still others that are even better. All I will say is that someone really enjoyed the mile high club sequence from cod4, and then made it into the craziest sequence you could possibly imagine.
I'll say this... I think I hate the maps. They don't have the quality that the old Modern Warefare maps had.
Think about the original MW1 maps and how much character/value they had. Lots of variety between the maps, the ability to play many different styles. You could snipe, you could run and gun, you could be tactical. These maps.... well you definitely can't snipe. It's really just a chaotic mess. Don't get me wrong, the game is fun.... but I'm wondering if I might not spend a bit more time on BF3, as the maps seem to be a hell of a lot more fun to me, even if the game style isn't my favorite.
Cuda, I agree completely. These maps are not very memorable. Its still early, but they just seem chaotic and feel like they were thrown together without much thought. I've ran into invisible walls a lot more than I expected as well at places that you might think you could hole up.
I'm a bit disappointed with the spawning. I was hoping for an improvement or at least something on par with BLOPS. Anybody else?
I can't seem to run and gun like I'm used to. Anybody have success with that play style? Maybe I just suck now . Anyways, I'm going to adapt and try to enjoy the game.
Whaaaaaat? I guess i'll be playing the SP this weekend. I hadn't planned on playing it until I had some downtime and no one else was online to play MP with. But I loved the mile high club.
BD I don't like you being at the top of my leader board for # of kills I'm coming for you!
Lol I guarantee that stage will blow your mind. Guaranteed. There's a spec ops version thats a little more...truer to the original MHC. You'll see what I mean. Too cool to spoil.
I'll try and get on tonight, couldn't make it last night.
I actually had a battlefield-like moment the other day. I was trying to shoot down an AC-130, and just as that moment a strafe run blocked my missile in mid flight and the blast took out like 3 helis. I should upload that to elite when it's finally working.
I was playing with some AVS/ATer's last night when the opposing team had called in the dropship and also a strafe run. I had equipped EMP because of the daily challenge when I finally got it. Hilarious when all of them got bitch slapped out of the air ...
I dunno it it's worth it for the campaign alone, but the campaign was really good. There's no way you actually played it beyond the first level if thats what you're saying. The graphics are noticeably better than MW2, the story was really easy to follow this time around, and it was just one crazy moment after another. The parts where other games usually cut to a cutscene, you get to play through. There are a few moments where even the most jaded and cynical bastard has to admit were pretty awesome.
emp does that? lol I know what i'm going to equip tonight
