I'm more excited by what we haven't seen yet. No doubt there will some cool toys to play with.

Same here
I'm glad that they've given you the option to be revived or not , I've lost count the number of times I've been revived in the middle of a fire fight only to die time and time again.
As for BFBC2, I'm in a race with my brother to get to level 50 first

According to statsverse.com, it will take me another 276 hours to get to level 50. And I'm level 36 at the mo!

I might get to level 46 tonight, damn this sibling rivalry
I'd like to see what BF3 looks like on a console, all of the demos I've seen have been from a high end PC.

What I do when getting close to a promotion is look at the "progress" tab on statsverse. It tells me what gold stars I am close to. I managed to get 20,000 today just from 4 gold stars. Helped me get to 37 in just 2 games
And regarding the consoles, I reckon it will look great. BC2 already looks and sounds fantastic so even an improvement of say 20% will be amazing.

It's true, thing is in the heat of battle how it looks is fast replaced by how cool the squad experience is...

Anyone know that if you pre-order a game, can you pick it up at a store or is it post only? If the latter is the case then it looks like I'll be having to pay for the Karkand expansion!

It was... Rebekah Vardy's account
I think they post it, but make sure it gets there the same day it's released.
There was a whole thread about it on here a while ago, I think Epona started it.
You can probably just pick it up from a shop though? Ask Game!
TitanSound
Mr Beardy Drummer
Yeah, but sods law dictates it does not turn up
I'd much rather go pick it up, don't see why I couldn't but shall ask next time I am near a Game store

Every pre-order I've had with Play.com has arrive dead on the day and a couple times a few days before.

On the subject of co-op, for me some of the best games ever were Hidden & Dangerous 1 & 2. Really tactical mission-based shooters. Are there any current titles that offer similar levels of problem-solving squad-based shooty stuff? As opposed to out and shooters like BF and CoD. That would be sweet.
From a single-player perspective, the latest Operation Flashpoint looks good, although I do prefer a non-Gulf/desert setting.

Well apparently BF3 is going to have something similar to the MW2 "Spec Ops" missions. How tactical they will be is up for debate but I imagine they will be entertaining. Onslaught mode in BC2 is pretty challenging on Hardcore mode.
ChrisFilter
Like a boss.
Spec Op missions come close, but I'm talking about something slightly deeper. I might download Hidden & Dangerous 2 again. I love it
TitanSound
Mr Beardy Drummer
Never played it, but did play Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines which I think was similar!
ChrisFilter

Na, Commandos was a real-time strategy game iirc. HD2 is a squad-based tactical FPS of sorts. I'd recommend giving 2 a try. Still stands up despite being 8 years old.

Great game that.
TitanSound
Mr Beardy Drummer
Ahhh...was it a 3rd person perspective? If so I think I did play it at a mates house a few times.

Mr Beardy Drummer
Not really much new here but consoles and the co-op missions get a mention.
TitanSound
Mr Beardy Drummer
I just had a horrible feeling. What if it does not live up to the hype? What if it panders to the CoD crowd? What if I don't like it?
My god, I need to lay down....

If it does that then I'll continue to play bfbc2...

I'm swinging back towards PC gaming atm so I'll probably get this for that rather than Xbox. Full everything at 1080p on a 24" monitor will be sweeeeet
