This game is epically winned its sweet awesomeness all over my chin. After playing it, first of all, I'm liking Rush a lot more than Conquest. Not that I don't like the classic BF mode and some sections of some Rush maps are just a head ache. But even when I'm playing conquest, I'm actually preferring the more funneled maps, I know a lot of people are crying for BF3 to be made in the image of BF2 but I would actually prefer it now to have rush and more linear maps in it.
But even more than that I'm actually liking Hardcore to some extent over normal, but tbh hardcore needs to have the spotting 3D enemy tags put back in and some of the other UI features, doesn't feel like some of the cuts were thought through.
