A bit of background on me as a gamer.

Currently I'm playing BF3 (on/off) and a bit of WoW (private server) and SWTOR. I'm 19 and have been playing games since I was I'm gonna guess and say 4 (or 5). I grew up with a Sega Genesis playing games like Sonic, Dr. Robotnic's mean bean machine and a few others. Upgraded to an N64 and played SM64, Smash Bro's (me and my friends still play this game to this day, way better than anything ever), Goldeneye, World is Not Enough etc. Also had a GBC and played the hell out of pokemon up to gold/crystal then I lost interest. I also had a PSP a few years after release just for untold legends brotherhood of the blade. The N64 then turned into a Gamecube and later I got a PS2 as well. Now I have a xbox 360 and a PC but I still play most of my games on console as I usually play with friends instead of just myself (or try to atleast, lol) but their PC's aren't quite up to par.

Now, I've played BF 1943 (not 42) and BF2 as well as both BC games and BF2 was awesome, GREAT mechanics and graphics were awesome for it's era. I preordered this game as I was fed up with CoD and couldn't be bothered to play another steaming pile of re-released, re-skinned crap (my apologies if MW2 is actually decent to you, I hate CoD and my love for it slowly declined after how terrible WaW was). I've been playing BF3 since release (and a bit of the "beta" just before it was taken down), and I've noticed a FUCKLOAD of SHIT still wrong with this game. It's actually one of the poorest "finished" products I've seen since Age of Conan. The PC version I'm not sure if it has the same issues but I'm sure some of them are present.

1st problem: Between rounds
Lol, this is THE most stupid and inconvenient thing in this game. After each round, a scoreboard comes up showing everyone's points, kills deaths etc. then it shows you your "awards/medals" (things based on what/how you did that game and reward extra xp) and you can skip that to get to the scoreboard again. Now here's where it gets STUPID AS FUCK. It's faster to get into another game, by exiting to the dashboard after the game ends. You can't just "leave" mid game, you can wait for the next game to start (after the long loading screen) and quit to main menu for another long loading screen. In this "between rounds" screen you can't DO anything, you can look at your stats and anything you just unlocked but you can't make a new class or leave the lobby or really, anything other than look at shit and message somebody who told you off for trolling them too hard with USAS 12. It's only about a minute long, but I don't want to wait a minute, only to leave this game because it's a) full of suck, b)bad map or c)my friend is on and wants to five matchmaking a shot. What makes this über painful is that matchmaking is sooooo poorly designed

2nd problem: Matchmaking
A) Now, I know this doesn't apply to PC (as origin is just lol) and it probably does to PS3, but to what extent I don't know. But when I try to join a game, there is (from my experience and this is still a guesstimate) a 15-20% chance that it won't put you on the right map. I don't know what way or how the maps cycle (most confusing thing ever). But if I want to play operation metro, it will randomly put me maps like tehran highway, noshar canals, or even grand bazaar.

B) Also, I can't have a squad/party join a game. If I'm in a game with my friends (party) and we try to start up match making (even if it's just one person with me) it will either not put one of us in the game, or we will be on opposite teams for at LEAST 3 rounds (even then it's usually longer than like 5 or 6). Out of 20+ games played in a few days, me and my friend landed on the same team TWICE.

C) It's not intelligent at ALL, it will throw you in a game with 5 tickets left. you join the map you want, it ends, OR the contrast to that will happen, it will throw you in a game with maybe 3 other people waiting for the game to start. One time I left one of these games and started matchmaking right away. Only to join the exact same game, although there were a few more people than before but the game was still waiting for players to start.

Also, I find it weird that matchmaking will only play one game type, I understand that servers are designed to cycle through maps on one game type, but it makes the experience soo boring and I have to leave and go through the long loading to get to a diff game type.

3rd: Gameplay
Lol, there is SO much still wrong with the game that it actually gives me headaches (literally, there's still artifacts flashing in front of me at least twice every game to second game, not as bad as beta but still, I don't care how good the graphics are, not an excuse for causing some kid a seizure). You CAN'T hop over certain types of fences/terrain, you will do a half of a "leap" animation and go back to right where you tried to hop over. There are a LOT of places (pretty much everywhere in op. metro outside of station), it won't happen all the time but it's a 50/50 chance and this is in game so I'm trying to hustle and i'll die because I had to move to the right 6-10 ft to try a diff segment of fence.... When you're running, sometimes you'll "get shot from over there" and you look in that direction and then you realize that you saw the person that shot you while you were turning to that direction even though there was nobody there at the angle you were looking at when you died. (i.e shows a damage marker on your screen coming from the wrong direction). You can shoot at people in the face and they don't die sometimes (there's a vid on youtube demonstrating where he CLEARLY shoots the dood in the face with I'm guessing 6+ rounds without a hitmarker and he runs past him and shoots him from behind, but I can't find it, will keep looking).

With recon you can spawn sometimes and plant your spawn beacon, and when you die you can't use it even if still there (maybe I'm too chonged and can't realize that my idiot teammate destroyed it after he spawned thinking it was an enemy's).

People abuse the fact that you can have a teammate stand on a MAV (mobile recon UAV thing) and you can get on top of ridiculous places and even under the map in some maps (op metro which had the most extensive testing of all the maps, lol).

I'd like to post more crap on why this "potentially awesome" steaming pile of crap, is in fact a steaming pile of crap and might not ever change, but I can't because I'm raging to hard and can't think of anything else atm.

They market this game purely on previous BF games, awesome graphics and "game of the year" or whatever gay stupid award it was given, and ALL THESE STUPID CHUMPS (holy fuck there's SOOOOOO MANY FUCKING IDIOTS ON BF3) eat it up (on console anyways).

I thought it was going to be good D:

SWTOR, WoW and BF in any form are all terrible and you should feel bad for playing them.

Gameboy (the GBA SP) is the only console I aproove of, since it delivers a completely different kind of gaming then the PC, can play a legion of games developed through almost 20 years and it's cheap. But having a GBC for pokemon is like having a hamburger for the buns.
There are TONS of super awesome games just on the GB and the GBC like
Mega Man 1-5, Metal Gear Solid, Metroid 2, Zelda LA, Prince of Persia... etc. Even more awesomeness on the GBA, but pokemon is stoopid.

Also the best possible multiplayer game for friends to play together on a single system is Worms Armageddon on the PC.
