I know I'm about 6 months late with this game but so what. Anyway so I finally had enough with Call of Duty MW3 and went to Tesco and picked up Battlefield 3 (for Xbox 360) for £25. I'm glad to say that I have not been disappointed with this game, certainly on the 'realism' side.
So far the game has been excellent, but it's not without it's problems. The main one is that the game is primarily designed for PC, with graphics being much superior than on console and the maps are designed for 64 man lobbies, yet Xbox is only capable of 24 man lobbies which means there are a few dry periods in some games. Furthermore there are people that will consistently wait to spawn in vehicles, which consequently means that unless you do the same it can be hard to gain access to vehicles.
However these problems are largely based on system performance or player attitudes. Overall the game is largely enjoyable and I would recommend it. Battlefield 3 earns an 8.5 from me.
