Hi,

awaiting arrival of BF3, but I have to admit that MW3 looks more single player friendly, so that will be on my shopping list too as the single player time on BF3 is supposed to be under 10 hours

They might have been boosted by my decision to purchase BF3 on both PC and XBox. Stupid friends not wanting to game on PC with me. Could of done without levelling two soldiers.

Yes, but I'm starting to regard the annual CoD-fest with the same amount of disdain that I have for the annual iPhone-fest. And this said as someone who invariably participates in the former...

Also waiting on MW3 - but unlike the idiot who reputedly paid more than US$1700 to get a copy today I'm quite happy to wait until postie knocks on the door tomorrow morning to deliver mine.

<10 hours for the BF3 SP campaign sounds about right - that said, unlike the MW2 one, I thoroughly enjoyed the BF3 one - no obvious "filler" apart from the flying mission, which I despised with a passion.

Can't comment on the nature of the SP game for MW3, because all the XBox reviews I've seen have focussed completely on MP. Which makes me wonder if the solo campaign isn't just another "extended training mission" like the one on MW2 felt like at times. I hope not, because in that case, BlackOps is going to get another run through.

Sounds good, really enjoyed the BF2 single player mode, just haven't played enough MP to enjoy it yet as I seem to come across Ex Special Ops Vets playing it ( or is it 13 year old super soldiers ) lol.

Hi,

just a pity no-one has come up with cross platform multi player gaming yet, now that would be superb as I'm not a fan of consoles, I'm a strictly mouse/keyboard player.

I don't mind either. I just like to play socially with old friends. I'd love for cross platform though but I fear the advantage would be too much.

Hi,

I know, those joypad players would be slaughtered lol.

Aye, the so-called "smart matching" systems used by CoD etc seem pretty darned poor in my experience - I always end up in matches with folks who obviously have a darned joypad welded to their hands.

Apart from a Halo session a long, long time ago, I've been studiously avoiding MP on a PC - that said BF3 is good enough that maybe I'll give it a spin.

Oh, I did play BF2 on a PC - too much running around for my taste - BF3 is far better.
