I want an honest opinion from current Battlefield 3 players, here. Try and take a step back and really look at this objectively.

Does Battlefield 3 feel like a more fun, more polished, overall better experience online than Bad Company 2 was at the same point after release? How does it compare to the current iteration of Bad Company 2? How do the maps compare, how does the weapon handling compare, are the vehicles balanced properly, are there even enough vehicles of the right types? How is the squad system? The UI? The game modes? That kind of thing. I've been getting a lot of reports that BF3 is not a good successor to BF2, and that it is in fact even worse than Bad Company 2 on the whole. No factoring in Back to Karkand, or other updates we know about, because we don't know how they will turn out.
