I played a few rounds yesterday and I found it more enjoyable than MW2. My kill count is still low. I just have a hard time finding people. Oh, I'm favoring the Recon setup. It has a little something I like; a rifle with a scope.

I like the engineer, mainly because I'm a fan of the M4. I also used the Beretta for a long range kill I should have gotten a trophy for. I mean come on, it was a long range shot with a handgun. Sure it was luck but I still want credit, damn it.

I just unlocked the M416 for assault class. Gotta love H&K.

The beta map is great but I have fallen through the floor a few times and I have seen people exploit that with just a gun barrel sticking out of the ground.

They're using trench warfare! It's WW1 all over again!

Great game so far, slightly disappointed that there's no vehicles yet, and the falling through the floor at bombsite A up top is incredibly annoying. From what i can tell there's only two areas that do that; by the bridge and by the stairs around that open meadow towards B.

What really irked me was that there was no tutorial or even controller config, so i spent the firs hour learning how to play the damn thing. I'm loving the American weapons more than the (terrorist? French?) other team's, seeing as how i have more mods available to the American weapons.

Anyone else find it incredibly annoying that when laying prone, anyone from your team can bump you into the open?

Here is a controller layout for anyone having trouble.

Lets talk Pre-Order.

Did you?

It seems everyone gets the first DLC pack (PS3 gets it a week before XBOX)

Then depending on where you pre-order there are bonus items.

Best Buy - DLC + Skins for your dudes...

Amazon - DLC + Dog Tag Pack...

GameStop - DLC + Weapon pack....

I am thinking that the weapon pack could be the most gratifying but then again in game customized whatnot is always groovy too.

Hmmm.... What do you think? What did YOU pick?

[Lawdog1521]

I Haven't decided yet but I'll defiantly pick one.

Edit: Here's an article with a little bit more info on the PS3 version.

[Doc_SoCal]

I had a feeling you would pick one...

Good read, 23 days to go.

[Lawdog1521]

The weapons pack isn't really unique because it'll unlock for everyone down the road. (Plus I may not even use them in my style of play)

The skins is cool but I'd either have to have it shipped from Best Buy or drive to Sac Town to pick it up.

And I don't know what the dog tags are.
