Definitely a good time had by all and it's taken some getting used to how the game goes and maps and stuff but I'm FUCKING LOVING IT!!! Rolling around with Cab/Carb/Can(???) and yougoogleizer (that's how I read your name in my head and went to put you in as a friend until it informed me you're not someone that goes around googling everyone) was awesome even without the communication we had some nice kills together. I'll be on tonight for sure again!
I take it from that psn message that I got from you that I must of killed you.

But that was some fun times shooting and blowing stuff up.

yeah, when you first invited me I was actually on the other side than when the game ended I was put with you guys in the squad. And yeah you killed me, I think i hit you a couple times then my weapon was empty. I have to keep track of that better. Like I said I'm getting used to the controls. Don't know how many times I've thrown a grenade when trying to pull up my sights. Another thing, why is the flight controls for the plane ass backward. If you want "inverted" stick meaning pull down to go up you actually have to be on normal and not the inverted setting in the flight stick in the options menu. Who the fuck thought of that shit?

Yeah the plane controls are retarded...its way too sensitive and trying to turn is really hard. I prefer the tank haha. I forgot how nice it is to have some unlocked level up weapons...in the beta I think I ended at like level 20 so I had a good variety to choose from lol. What class are you guys rolling with?

So how is this game? How does it compare, if it does, to COD?

Will you guys that play this still be buying the new COD?
I am just trying to figure out which game I want to get and any information is helpful.

I REALLY like this game a lot! Its way fun and much more objective based and not so much about kd ratios as about winning the objectives. I really think it is so different than COD that you can't really compare it...its just a completely different style of FPS. In COD you can sprint for a whole match killing everyone all over the map but you can't really do that on BF3. And its so crazy with all the vehicles, different squads battling in different areas of the maps...its just very different. I will still get MW3 and will play the crap out of both.

What yougoogelizer said. One thing that is knocking me off my feet in this game is the sound. The sound alone makes this game that much more exciting. Shoot a tire and listen to the air come out. Shoot a hookah and the glass shatters and any metal pieces clank around. A snipers bullet going past your head is going to make you shit your pants. Wait til you hear a rocket or tank shell fly by you.

Two different games. Like I have read elsewhere, COD is more run and gun, while this has more tactical elements to it. Plus you have to compensate for bullet drop and shooting someone in the leg is not going to kill them.

Man, I am too poor to be buying both games (within a week of each other) and I was unimpressed with the demo. I absolutely love to hear that the sound is top notch as that is why I quit playing Black Ops.

Exactly.

I like the gigantic maps, multiple objectives, sound, and vehicles. I did not like everything else.

The variety of maps is pretty solid...all very different. I think the biggest issue with the beta was all the glitching...but i haven't had that issue since the retail release. I don't really like the hit detection so that has taken some time to get used to...and its tough to tell your team from the other sometimes. But its pretty damn fun and its WAY more fun if you play with people using mics because you can coordinate objectives so much more easily...and I think that alone makes the game infinitely more enjoyable.

I played the beta but couldn’t really get into the game. I like quick twitch shooters more than tactical ones.

I’d guess yes and no. A lot of what made MW2 great will be there but I’m guessing that it will run off the Blops engine or an updated version of it. MW2 used a different engine.
