Not that suprising. Critics can't give too low ratings, especially with a hyped high profile game like CoD, or they're not gonna get any more games to review ;-) Which makes it all the more of a paradox that they're called critics, because they can rarely be critical ;-)

just check youtube for: infinity ward recycle building bf3.... looks like most buildings are reused..

[T-Bag]

Why does recycling a building make any real difference? Plenty of parts from plenty of games are reused. It happens all the time.

In fact I would have quite liked if they'd recycled ALL of the old maps from previous games into the MP game. I haven't played it yet, but I haven't read that they have. Basically that's just pretty low. It's the same engine so importing it should be easy and then the map shortage and needing to play the original 2 games would be gone...only problem is they can't sell as many £12 map packs...

So that's my opinion. Reusing stuff doesn't bother me. Most of Half Life is reused in one way or another but I still think that's an amazing series of games.

Does a re-used building model/texture really detract from your enjoyment of the game?

It seems like a fairly obvious thing to do, if you're a developer with a mental publishing deadline to meet.

[Snokio]

i think my gripe is that it's a £40 game, some paid the £99 cost but thats their proactive

So being a £40 game......with a multi million revenue (more than movies IIRC), I would not expect a game to bring a fresh models, textures and well, generally take it to the next level like what BF3 has done, It has failed on all attempts,

I know some of the issues I have raised seems like I'm on a hate crusade, but this is just my review and opinions, and everyones opinion is as valid as the next

[lionheart]

TBH they lost me after COD4, I bought Black Ops but never really "got into it", now it just seems like equine necrophilia flagellation.

Please remember opinions are like bums, we've all got em and I'm old.

This thread makes me quite glad i did not fork over the money for it. Maybe when it drops in price a fair bit.

[GhostMjr]

Just finished the single player campaign.

Was short overall but it was full of action and I really liked it.

Multiplayerwise I will see whether I want to play online or not.

What I will say is this game is the sequel to cod4 we should have had and the ability to use our own free server is available to us.

Whether people will want to fork out £39.99 is another matter.

However bf3 is now £38.00 on amazon and has less than 3 copies left in stock.

It has alot of things to give as mw2 did but now we can actually play on a dedicated server.

Anyone tempted?

[DarkAngel]

You can get BF3 for £21.59 from tesco's entertainment (click for deal)

Very funny Charlie Brooker SP review here
Sample:

It's about precision and nimble fingers. Just like darning a sock in a hurry. Or creating tapestry against the clock.In  other words, Modern Warfare 3 would be nothing but a gigantic  needlework simulation were it not for the storyline, which is the most  homoerotic tale ever created in any medium, including Frankie Goes to  Hollywood videos.
