How big are what? If you mean the install, the whole game is about 15 gigs. The HD pack is about 1.4 gigs. The day one update is 140 megs or something like that.
I've spent about an hour on the campaign. It's a tradition to do the campaign first, but I may jump into multi soon.
No complaints about the graphics for me. It looks great. Real good at times and fantastic at other times. The lighting is incredible and really helps with everything.
The campaign is pretty tough. You die hellafast with just three or four quick hits being fatal and the CPU is a freakin crackshot.
The sound. Oh baby. The sound is just amazing. I use a surround sound headset and it's crazy good stuff. I get startled like a little girl all the time with the booms and cracks of explosions and gunfire. The best sound in a game I've heard.
I also think this game officially feels better than CoD. I've always loved the way CoD feels and still do, but to me, BF3 makes it feel almost clunky by comparison. The controls are just that good and smooth.
I'm going back in...

I haven't tried it yet, but I'll give it a go.

I hate Comcast, this update is taking forever. And I guess there's gonna be a new MoH?

Not a great sign. Servers are already down in my area. No online for me tonight. EA strikes again.

Online is seamless so far, but not happy with the changed controls.

Yeah, I'm really not liking these new controls.

Got into a game and played a bunch of conquest matches.
There's a little lag here and there, but not bad. It'll get worse before it gets better I'm afraid.
The bullet damage has been fixed. No more instant deaths and it seems to take one more bullet than the beta to kill. I don't know if the damage is the same and they fixed the net problem or they actually nerfed the guns, but it's MUCH better now.
Maps are awesome. I'm really liking most of them so far.
They seemed to have fixed just about every beta glitch I can think of. I've caught a screen flash now and then. Don't know what that's about. Still the occasional vault fail where you don't jump over something even if it does the animation. I also had one instance where i Reloaded without seeing the animation. That's all I can think of.
The game won't be perfect, but I'm loving it. The look, sound and feel of it is outstanding.
Me = Happy

Just like BC2 it'll depend on the map. Caspian Border with 7 vs 7 or whatever, will be slow, but Seine Crossing (a new fav of mine) will be fun even with 7 vs 7. I got a couple full lobby games in and they were hectic as hell. It just all depends on the map and how everyone's playing. Always at the mercy of the other players.

What were the player counts for BC2 again?
I believe it was the same, 12 vs 12 for Rush, and that was still fun.

Man, im loving this game! even more unlocks than in the BETA when leveling up guns and your character, including different camo sets.
Also, the fact that DICE has their own dedicated servers to choose from for consoles is a HUGE plus!!!

They feel more like the god awful Bad Company 2 controls, a lot heavier and there's more float to the guns. The beta controls were perfect.

IGN is maybe trying to screw the sales of the game for the consoles by holding back the review knowing that many consumers wait for reviews...
I bet they will have MW3 review up quick though...lol

EA didn't send out the console versions until yesterday, but they sent the PC version last week.
