I played BF2 for PC for fun, always multiplayer. I tried bf3 and actually doesnt feel safe like playing the antecessor, but guess mostly because I am not this skilled strategist. So for a simple straight forward fun I would keep close to BF2. And the fact that consoles dont allow more than 24 players online is also desmotivating. graphics and sound is 5 star, no doubt. Single player campaign also not that interesting.
