I've already seen enough first hand impressions from Geforce LAN (which should be pretty close to the launch version) to know that there's nothing to worry about. Reviews be damned.

Like anyone ever has a proper review for a MP game.

Kotaku had a write up suggesting that the campaign was rather dull but who gives a crap. We all know the MP is great fun and the latest trailer blew me away. Cannot wait to play this...for hours and hours. Fuck the campaign.

I'd blame the SP for souring reviews, but I'd rather blame the gaming press for not being able to properly review MP content.

Sucks to own small or no HDD at all: http://www.shacknews.com/article/70701/battlefield...

I bet some of those "just put the game to console and play" dudes have abandoned the gaming this gen.

My comp is in the shop till (hopefully) Saturday. $2k rig crippled by a five cent part. On the plus side, I installed the GTX 560 TI so at least I'll be able to play it at 60fps.

This dose not bode well??

"Battlefield 3 reviews won't be up until after release day due to a day-one update that will incorporate feedback from the Beta."
I'm not worried about the reviews, I'm worried about the nerfs.
There was a lot of whiny bitches in the Beta, who for some reason thought the game was supposed to be like Unreal Tournament in regards to how much damage you should be able to take.

Stats from the beta:

1.5 BILLION KILLS WERE REGISTERED.
That's equal to 1/2 of all liters of beer consumed in the world during 2011.

47 BILLION SHOTS WERE FIRED.
If you could travel one light-year for each bullet, you'd reach the edge of the known universe.

19 MILLION OF YOU LOST DOG TAGS AT KNIFEPOINT.
That's one for every single person in Shanghai, the world's most populated city.

THE LONGEST HEADSHOT RECORDED
on Operation Métro clocked in at 635.6 meters, the equivalent of 8 city blocks.

Pre-ordered from Origin and I'm pre-loading as well. Bring on next Tuesday!

I can't remember the last time I've been this hyped for a new game. COD4 came close.

Let you in on a little secret Sabao.

Get a program like Proxifier, add a korean proxy on Monday the 24th, activate your game through origin...

Though you won't be able to play online, you will be able to play the single until then.

Totally worked! And damn, wow at the opening moments of the SP! The reviews were weak and my expectations were low, but damn, very good!

Got the game. SP is mediocre so far, MP is a blast though. I only played the open maps and it really feels great. And with the HD-textures installed it's quite a looker. The pleasant surprise was that even on consoles you get to choose a server from a list. Very solid performance and no glitches from what I've seen. Can't wait to sink my teeth into it with a few friends.

I don't like QTEs in my PC FPS Dice, but the game looks so damn good I can't complain. Upgraded my GFX card and I'm playing on Ultra with nary a hiccup except when new environments load. So awesome.
