No because the single player is a feature of the game and not an item. Otherwise you could say, why would you use the jeep in the mp when there's tanks or Helis about to get from A-B.

Same here, working my way through the campaign to get familiar with how it operates before venturing online and getting my arse kicked by spotty 10year olds :p

I've just dived straight in. It scares me that there are people on there up at level 40-odd already; they must have literally nothing else to do.

It did occur to me as I ran around on level one with my iron-sighted AK74 and the arse hanging out of my basic chamo uniform, that the ranking system on these games is all wrong; a real test of skill would be that you start with every possible piece of kit and as your rank and skills rise, the whistles and bells are taken away from you, so by the time you're a general all you have left is a knife.

Hehe, sounds like a fun "rank-up" system :p So how are you faring online? Getting butt-fucked?

Levelling up in FPS's is really gay. Really really really gay.

Why not? I paid for the game, why shouldn't I play everything it has to offer.
well this time they have tried to make an entertaining "action movie" type blast to play, they are expecting the sp to help shift close to code numbers specialy on consoles, a lot more peeps pld the sp and less of the mp side of the cod games since cod4 far more than the numbers that pld the mp. thats where the majority of the money will be, the DLC that will surely come will make them money but not as much as the game it self

Well last night I gave the SP a go, and you know what? It doesn't deserve the slate it got I mean what's actually fucking wrong with it? You play as several serviceman/woman and the game is more realistic then COD.
I'm enjoying the campaign sure its not amazing but its not bad either.

Theres no "wait till server has slot" option like steam games. So getting on your preferred server is not always possible.

BF3 closed randomly on me twice last night in the space of an hour.

Quite a few servers around, I tend to park myself on the Via 64 one, Yaka was just there with me but being so late it gets rather dead.

I can't help too much on that as I would look for it there as well.

Been a week since Ive had this game, and MW3 a week too.

I've played MW3 twice, and BF3 for 8 hours 43 minutes ... I'm sure that says something :)

Must say I by far prefer the hardcore servers, I hate all them orange triangles telling you where the bad guy is, looks rediculous to me, and I hate how you have to empty half a magazine into someone for them to die. In hardcore it's 2 or 3 hits maximum and the fucker's dead lol :D

I have the same problem; a bunch of unlocks I can't see. Love the mobile AA as well, especially the US one

I've asked around and apparently you'll find it in the "customise" tab in their oh-so-well designed weapon selection pull-down menu.

I am only playing on 64 player Conquest servers and really enjoying it. Single player campaign seems to suck balls though and I reckon I will gravitate to MW3 for single player.

Can't wait for the old maps in December.
