Overall, I'm extremely, ENTHUSIASTICALLY irritated at how underwhelming BF3 is without all the necessary accoutrements & staples of BF2.
Everything in these lists NEEDS TO BE INSTATED.
It would be laughably NUMBING to think a company could actually be receptive to the plethora of quality feedback it received from its dedicated customers.
Sadly, this will likely never be the case, but I guess we can hope, so here's an effort to that effect.

fckinae mon, Dice's community manager Zh1nto mocking a thread as trolling here (not this one, but still)
Gaming is far too serious to heckle, insult, or condescend to players in any way.
Gaming is a SERIOUS franchise because SO MANY DEVELOPERS COMPLETELY SUCK (TERRIBLY).
Battlefield deserves more. That's all.
Developers need to COMPLETELY END, IN THOROUGH ENTIRETY, the entitled premise that it's okay to disregard QUALITY FEEDBACK just because they think it wasn't "said nicely enough".
THE FACT IS that BF3 will not reach its potential until these complications are ADDRESSED.
Overall, I give BF3 a C unless these drastic measures are agreed to for reform.
It's far too rushed to go live without these major alterations at least GUARANTEED for the 1st or 2nd patches.
