I just downloaded it and played the beta, I think playing the demo was the final nail in the coffin for me and COD. It's just so much more realistic. As a COD crossover, I like how easy and familiar the controls felt, almost every button does the same thing as COD. Is there any knife button though? Doesn't matter but since I'm a knifer in COD it'd be a nice plus.

But overall I liked the graphics, I'm definitely not as big on graphics as others are, and the gameplay felt smooth. I liked the realism in the game, it felt like you were actually controlling a soldier, with the animation and time it took to hop over fences, and how you actually felt weighted while running. Not sure if they have a similar system to perks in COD, but I enjoyed how guys weren't running around as if they were hopped up on a mixture of E, steroids, and 5 hour energy shots like in COD if you have marathon and lightweight equipped.

To make a long story short I loved the map, I loved the gameplay, the realism, I didn't see anything like spawn camping and I was fortunate enough that the team I was on acted like a team instead of everybody all trying to be a hero at once like in COD. Also no hackers (as of now) which is a major plus, it's unbearable playing multiplayer on COD nowadays simply because the odds are good you'll end up in a hacking lobby. I think I'm pretty much sold on BF3, and all that is without destroying any buildings or driving any vehicles or anything.
