Why are we even mentioning Halo 3? In a thread about PC games? I've always been in the camp that dislikes all Halos except the first one. As for open gameplay, STALKER came out first, and I thought it had the better game play. It also allows you to change up your weapons on the fly. It's also a lot more involved in other respects.
As for those bugs you mentioned: never had a single one of them happen to me. The only bullshit I get is when I clearly knifed somebody and it didn't register or the inverse: I knifed the air and it registered.
All said, I'm already seeing more attention to detail in the Battlefield 3 than I have seen in Crysis 2. Graphics are not every thing, but the little things like lighting on even mundane objects like cartridges or on the thin rubber soles of your boots just make a game feel more polished.
