I was going to get it day one until it launched. Boy was it a bad launch too. NO one played it after that. It seemed so freakin cool too. I might try it out. Hopefully the sale will boost the population. This is basically a re-launch for the game.

Whether they'll stick around afterwards remains to be seen. Quite a few people were complaining of bugs.

[thulfiqaar]

Are they Still complaing about bugs fadi ?

Gah. Why cant it just be fixed and good so that it thrives? I want another good multiplayer shooter to play damn it. I LOVE BF3 but variety would keep them all fresh and appealing for a longer amount of time. I cant wait for that DLC...

Actually arcade mode is closer to Call of Duty. Classic is like the original RO but for some odd reason you can still run and realism is a mix of both.

I might pick it up too. I just hope it stays alive after I buy it...SMH...Id probably shelve it for a while as I finish other games so...

[thulfiqaar]

BF3 DLC should be good hopefully!
