Thank You, DICE

Thank you, DICE. You actually did it. You actually fixed a lot of the bugs from beta, including the netcode for hit registration. It feels as if you improved the hit detection from BC2. A solid improvement on your most anticipated game ever. BF3 is not just a game, its a visual and acoustic thrill ride. The maps are visually stunning, making it difficult to remember that it's graphic art and not an interactive film of some sort. The sounds are convincing, the bullet tracers at night are a spectacle, and the water drops on your character's face make it feel as close to reality as possible. And those are just a few things that make this game win. There are only a few more things to iron out, like the lag that is experienced on servers once they go above 40-50 players. The squad interface needs to be more clear: the join button is not obvious, but masked when it appears. Just to name a couple. Quite frankly, I'm having a hard time thinking of any more, because I'm so impressed with how the game performs now.

  1. My only beef is the overlay can be obtrusive at times. It would be useful to be able to toggle it on and off
