You know what I miss? Multiplayer FPS games with bots. Nobody ever puts bots in their games anymore, which makes it really difficult to have an enjoyable team-game with a very small group of people. Bots are a big part of the reason I still play UT04.
I agree. I really liked that aspect of BF2, because I could mess around on the maps and learn them without getting destroyed in multiplayer.
Loving BF3 so far. I'm still getting used to the controls (haven't played a PC FPS since at least 2007) and the game has some bugs, but god damn it's fun. And Operation Metro is apparently not even one of the good maps (like Caspian Border).
Chief, are you getting the game for PC (or at all)? The Origin>battlelog browser process isn't bad, though it's not optimal. It's pretty quick and easy to use.
