I will consider buying it for sure but no more pre-orders or buying on release day for me since I've been burned too many times now.
I am more interested in MW3 than BF3 currently since I get more enjoyment from CoD and other infantry only style games.
The 1.4 patch added new maps based on 3 servers I found by querying the gamespy master server

Glad to see another dev that isn't jumping on the EA / CoD bandwagon for no public server files.
This is one reason i don't want every game to use Steamworks as it does paint a bigger bullseye on Steam.
Even a few polls on EAUK forums asking DICE to use Steamworks thus requiring steam:

I like steam but honestly I don't want all games to use it. Don't like the "all my eggs in one basket" approach.
