Battlefield games used to be about using your skills, the vehicles and the environment to play a strategic way to finish of a round so that your team will get the victory. Now with Battlefield 3 that is thrown in the dumpster. Now Battlefield is about as strategic as a fish bowl animation. Bought the game at launch and it took almost 2 week before the game was playable during to the fact that you must have a online connection to play the game, Even the singleplayer mode yes. The multiplayer is almost Modern Warfareish with bigger maps and not that fun to play actually. The game i run in browser and i really hate that fact.. for one you need to have a stable internet connection even for singleplayer. There is not a real game here for me it's just an game played through a browser and you still need the horrible EA application Origin that actually makes the game crash more then it makes it work.. this i know will be patched later on.
