I preordered battlefield 3 for both the PC and xbox 360 so I could play with my clan and then with friends on xbox. I haven't purchased the game for PC yet because I was going to wait till I got a new computer but for me I don't know if I will buy it because of all the problems people have been having and the fact that I DON'T LIKE origin or battlelog. Call me an old school BF vet but I think that when DICE was acquired by EA in 2006, the games started to go downhill, but that's just my opinion. I just want a game where I can get atleast 1.5k+ hours of enjoyment out of, not some game where I lose interest after 250 and have to force yourself to play it because your friends want you to.
If your wondering
Battlefield 1942 + exp: 12,000+ hours
Battlefield Vietnam: 2,500+ hours
Battlefield 2 + exp: 2,200+ hours
Battlefield 2142: 1,800+ hours
BF2:MC: thought it was going to be something similar to BF2, was disappointed so I stopped after 300 hours of MP
BC1: played on a friends xbox, tried the demo, was meh
BC2 + V: 600-650 hours
Oh and if it were me, I would have told EA to **** off if I knew that I wasn't going to be able to finish a game to my standards instead of trying to rush it just so EA can beat the competition to the market cuz look how that ended. It made the CEO look like an idiot after he spent so much time saying that BF3 was going to be a COD killer. LOL, maybe in his dreams but not anytime soon.
Also, BF3 has potential and is probably the best FPS shooter out there right now but it's not better then any of the previous games.
