You mean totally not like the maps that MW3 has which are set in the US featuring the US armed forces vs the russians etc.. ?
It sounds perfectly plausible to me.

EDIT:
REALLY sorry to waste your time lads, but I think I'm going to get this on Xbox 360 next month, so I won't be adding any of you as I won't be playing it for very long on PS3. Thanks for the help though.
Theres a few of us on 360.
Feel free to join us
I've unlocked every weapon / gadget / perk etc.. bar the Top Sniper unlock now and tbh i hate playing recon i'm not bothered.
I just play for fun now. I've got all the ribbons and lots of the medals are for things i dont do that much (like 300 laser designate assists) or will never do ( spend 100 hours as recon)
So i'm not playing to unlock stuff anymore, just to have fun. I'll be on tonight after 10 if anybody is about.

Notice the duration of the game. 8 hours !!
thats 8 hours of serious stat padding with friends. Shoot, Revive, Shoot, Revie, for a constant 8 hours.
And if you look at their match history, they do loads of it. They aren't cheating as such. They're boosting by playing squad rush, and then all of their mates joining and nobody attempting to take the objective. As long as the medic revives the person you killed, you get the kill for your stats and the ticket stays in pless. The game will never, ever end until somebody actually plays the game and trys to blow up an Mcom.
Notice also the insane number of nemesis kills - because its the same person he kills over and over again.
Its a complete farce, but they can't remove a legitimate game mode without punishing those that actually enjoy squad rush (i've got one or two mates who enjoy it for example)
The worst that will happen to them is their stats get reset for boosting.
As stupid as it is, that's what happens when you:
a) Put in a ranking/unlock system.
b) Offer a global stats service.
It's happened in every game I've known to do this, from TF2 to even the original CS when you had server stats. For some people, an awesome K : D is more important than actually having fun in-game.
And to be fair, unlock systems like on this are pretty lame, but I've already gone into that.

This is what I love about BF3 compared to BC2. Once i got 1000 kills with one weapon I felt like I couldn't use it no more because the 5k xp you got for a service star was a lot better for leveling up. Ive unlocked everything in BF3 too and due to the way the service stars are now I can enjoy using weapons I like without any penalties.

You played just to unlock stuff to start with? Apart from things that actually make a difference to my game (ie I can't wait to unlock the Javelin or canister shell) I couldn't care less about ribbons/medals/stats.
Not play specifically, but play with a certain class, certain map etc.. To get whichever unlock I wanted next
As for medals, they are great for levelling up. 10,000 XP for each one

This can can be so crap when you play with a bad team. I can get 5/6k in a match and still lose the game! While my team mates are blowing up our vehicles at spawn and just generally being mediocre.

Unlocked reactive armour for tanks the other day, and I noticed the next unlock is a CITV Station or CTV, what is this? it says its a permanent upgrade too, so I guess its not a selectable but always on?
Correct. Its a third seat for the tank which enables you to lase targets for the gunner to hit with guided shells.
Works like the soflam, except its attached to the roof of the tank. Also has a night vision mode which is great for spotting enemies that may be lurking in the shadows for your gunner.
Once you've unlocked it, every tank you get into has that 3rd seat. Only somebody that has unlocked it can get in it though.
Its great for hitching a ride in a tank thats full at the start of the game

In other news, i have officially become a sniper whore after unlocking the M98B.
Its such a beast of a sniper rifle.
Was on Noshar canals today, and the russian Z11W was flying all over the deck of the US carrier spawn killing any chopper that tried to take off. Full crew of 4 in it, shooting out of the side, repairing it etc..
There were several of us on the deck trying to take it out with stingers , RPGs etc..
I whipped out my M98B, and sniped the ****er through the cockpit and sent it crashing into the sea. LIKE A BOSS!
Talk about the "only in battlefield" moment. If only we had battle recorder !!

Considering you're aiming with a pad, that's especially impressive. I can barely snipe people stood still, never mind a helicopter.
It's reminded me how much it annoys me when I'm an engineer on a heli and a random stinger decides to kill me though. Doesn't take out the chopper, or anyone else, just me. Grr.

More glitches and errors im noticing.
Shotguns are a joke even at right in front of you range it take a few shells to kill.
Reloading, then throing a grande or sommin when you swap back to your gun, it reloads for a second time.
To many times you go to jump a wall, the animation happens but you havnt leaped the wall.
Soliders stop running cause theirs some gravel on the road or a small brick.
Sound drop outs etc STILL havnt been sorted out.

tbh the auto shotguns are already powerful enough as it is. If they killed in less shots the USAS rage on the forums would be 10 X worse.
Its not realistic, but i think they've got the balance in game about right without making them automatic cannons.
The double reload animation i had'nt even noticed tbh so its hardly an issue.
The sound bug and vaulting bug are quite annoying though.

The double reload comes from when you don't fully let the reload animation/time finish before you perform another action, therefore it cancels out the first reload. It is handy when reloading a LMG when you don't need to just to cancel it.
And auto shotguns, they a CQC weapons... I can generally kill a person with 1 shot of a USAS and any other shotgun if you are close enough. Obviously stick frag rounds on and the range increases a fair bit but that's up to personal preference.
The jumping a wall/fence and it not working, is something they have mentioned, has to do with keeping the gameplay fluid, or something like that.

Been shot many times with the USAS, especially on metro - rush it's the only gun i know that you can hit someone on the other side of the map with hip fire. it's defiantly not working as intended but then again a lot of stuff in this game isn't
Stopped playing myself after the hordes of cheaters came through the gates and just going to wait and see what happens. supposedly they have a new anti-cheat Administrator, because yes that is how bad its gotten.
