First off, I am an avid Call of Duty player for years and also had a run with MAG(great multiplayer domination). I prestiged to the 15th on Black ops and to the 10th on MW3(which are maxxed), that being said, I absolutely love Battlefield 3! If you are buying for the single player campaign mode from what I have read it is OK at best. I buy these FPS games for the multiplayer and that is where BF3 shines. If you are a Call of Duty gamer, you will probally hate this game at first, hard to aim and get kills when compared to CODs MW3 if you are accustomed to the fast pace arcade style warfare. Give it a few days and if you are like me you will get into the Battlefield flow and your game will start to improve. Both games are great in my opinion and after maxxing out MW3, I needed something new and BF3 hit the spot. You will get your A-s kicked in the beginning if you are new to Battlefields or just switched from Call of Duty. The secret is you have to get pounded several hours before you get unlocked weapons and attachments. I love the fast pace of COD, but this game definitely has more all out war feel. If you do not own a quality stereo or dolby headset get one, I can say the graphics are good, but the sounds are great! Very happy with my purchase and the Limited Edition copy gives you some weapon unlocks as well as 4 extra maps, so I definitely reccomend this version(the map pack by itself is 14.99 plus game cost). The amount of vehicles and weapons with different attachments will keep the replay value high. So give it a try and dont let the first day depress you it gets better, as I am hooked! Thanks for reading and hope this helps some of you!
