The Strip: I really do suck at BF3. I have played COD for so long, that BF3 taking some real getting used to. All three of these happen a lot. A lot.
Gaming: I do love BF3. And here is why…
The sound effects. I don’t think I have ever played a game with more realistic sound effects. It really adds a lot to the feel of the game. The explosions, the tanks, the ambient sound of battle…its perfect.
The frenetic battles. I mean it really feels like you are in the heat of a fire fight. So much shit going on, the terrified voices over the com-system. Building exploding right in front of you.
Speaking of exploding buildings…The destructible environment also adds a lot to the realism of the game. The environments are dramatically helped out by the HD download option.
The faults. These are more just my taste.
Leveling is just too slow for my liking, and maybe thats because I suck…it probably is, but I cant help but feel like I would suck less if I had more goodies to attach to my guns.
There needs to be an in-game flight school or something…I am so terrible at flying…so terrible.
I am really not a fan of the squad system. I have had nothing but trouble squading up and playing with friends.
I am going to jump on and play after I post I hope. I need to dive into more of the game, as I have onl played Rush game type thus far.
Music: Me and my buddy Jimbo were talking about Christmas music today at work so I had to listen to a couple of tracks of The Bells of Dublin…god I love that CD.
TV/Movies: Noting really new since Wednesday.
Life: I went to my daughters school tonight with her mother for a “Decorate your pumpkin with your kid night.” Once again it was painfully evident that I am the most awkward person ever. Hate it. Two Halloween parties this weekend. Pretty excited about my “stume” provided it works out the way I want it to.
Happy Friday!

I’m pretty sure that’s how I feel with every shooter game I play online.
I have been FPSing since I could FPS…its demoralizing that I am now a total newb.
That there is an exceptional death scene, Javis. Certainly is splatty enough!
Thanks Mark! You can never have too much splat.
I gotta write a review of BF3. So much of it, at least for me and my friends, is defined by Bad Company 2, in terms of good and bad.
You’re right about the sound… it really feels as if the whole world is blowing up in your face.
The squad system is a little clunky. It doesn’t seem too much of an improvement over BC2, since joining a game doesn’t bring your squad over with you. Might have more to do with the matchmaking and servers (which are garbage at this point).
I think this strip will make an excellent visual for the review, with your permission for the link.
Of course good sir. Looking forward to your review. Played after I posted last night…I confirmed that I do in fact suck.
Battlefield 3 is tough. I’m new to FPS and got my first taste on Bad Company 2 but BF3 is much rougher. I can’t hit the broadside of a barn.
I sadly missed out on BFBC2..Why I am playing catch up right now.
I’m gonna have to try it now and see how my skills as a Canadian stack up…not gonna lie, I’m probably all talk 😉
Damn it I still need to add you lads on XBox Live!
Wish you were on PS3 dude. Skyrim, less than 2 weeks tho. You gonna pick it up?
Am I gonna pick up Skyrim? Is that a joke question? Is it joke time right now? OF COURSE:) Its my most anticipated game of the year!
