I played BF3 and i have to admit that if you play as a lonewolf(without friends, only randomteammates), its just descent. But if you join with friends in a squad and talk over skype or teamspeak its total funny^^.(thanks dice, for not implementing VOIP ingame >.<)

In one game we captured point C on caspians border and kept it during the whole game. We installed c4 traps, AT-Mines and whenever enemies popped in, we blewed them out.

on another round we sneaked from Capture point to capture point. Eliminated the enemies without noticing us, captured and went to the next. Interesting picture on the map when one flag and another etc fall down^^. Or when 3 enemies try to enter with a jeep, you and your friends split up(havent seen us) and everyone takes one enemy from another position in the same moment.

I think the problem with modern shotters today is communication. Since ingame voip does not seem to be standart anymore, its quite a problem if you play with random players. Playing with a group of friends online is totally different(my experience)
