Looks like I got lucky:

So I just played a shitload of Rush. BF3 was designed for Rush and only Rush, because Rush is actually fun.

Now to try the game on my new PC. Whooooooooooooo....

That is all.

Rush is only fun with 24-32 players. Conquest is only fun with 32-64 players. Rush is basically shit on PC and conquest is awesome because of this. Total reversal. Want fun rush? find a low player count server. Want fun conquest? Find a high player count server.

To be honest, BF3 is so buggy, glitchy, and horribly balanced that it's a pretty crap experience across the board. I'm being relative here.

I've only just now played my first few games on PC; played B2K maps on Conquest. Was alright, but the balance is still off. I can say that I didn't have to put up with endless asshats spamming USAS-12/FRAG fire all over the place like I did on Xbox. That was nice. Not having the extra carrying capacity for rockets is awful, though, almost game-breaking at this point in the title's life cycle. Lacking Explosive Mk. II in BC2 wasn't nearly as bad and placing shots in vehicle weak points was far more effective. After a vehicle disable, it shouldn't take 2 or 3 more in the rear to actually kill the damn thing.

Then there are the idiotic suppressors, or lack thereof, making me show up on everybody's map. Might as well put a neon sign over my head saying "LOOK EVERYBODY, SHOOT HERE." Also headshots not killing in one, and it being really damn hard to not play Engineer and still win on any map with vehicles. Recon should have the C4 and, at the very least, the Claymores. Support having the latter means he can put as many down as he friggin' wants to, spamming an area up with them.

Game is still a mess. Still not any better than it was. DICE's idea of fixing a problem is to break it so much that what causes the problem is avoided entirely.

Been playing it on the Xbox for the past 5-ish days and so far it's been fine (the only time I ever see shotguns show up that much is on Metro). I'd suggest you tweak your sever filter settings, as mine were using the EU servers (I mean, wtf?) by default (quick match uses the server filter). The only real issues I have with the game are the fucktarded UI. They must have had an accountant design and program it because it's complete shit. And making people wait until the next map is loaded before they can back the fuck out? DICE, you're full of twits as far as I care.

I think it's the Hardcore servers where it's a real issue; that's where all the tryhards hang. Unfortunately, Regular mode isn't Battlefield (regenerating anything = CoD) so I refuse to play it.

And yeah, dat UI. So much slowness. At least you can back out between games on PC.

Hey, I loved 60 player COD4 servers. Well, obviously not when Killhouse and Shipment is in the rotation cycle. So much chaos. Ambush, Broadcast, The Bog, Strike, and Overgrown are really the only maps that can hold all those people, though. Well, there are the custom maps, too, but not many people play those.
