What a disappointment, 7 hours (if that!) campaign mode and it's over :sad:  :angry:

I did say you were near the end!  I also completed it very quickly as well.  You can tell it's just a gimmick they added on to what is basically a multiplayer game.

Yup, the campaign was an after thought imo Blops Campaign story arc was better imo, but the game play of BF3 is better.


Went back to the store I bought it from, at first spoke to a sales advisor and got into a bit of a row with him  :lipsrsealed: :laugh: He was saying that it should have been explained to me that the code might have been redeemed already, I said it never was (because it never was!), He refused to help and handed it back to me... OOPS!  :evil: .... that led to me asking for his manager before I rung his scrawny neck, I calmed down before the manager came out and explained the situation. After a bit of chatting and to and fro'ing on offers of how to resolve it, I got the normal edition for £1 extra as he put through an imaginary loyalty card for me :grin: Sure I don't have the limited edition now, but I refuse to pay the 800MSP for something I should have had in the first place! C@nts!

You reckon? I have plenty of space on the internal 4Gb (now I've deleted my Forza3 content) but it says it has to be on Device "Hard Drive"  :undecided: besides 16Gb flash drives are expensive for what you get and I'll need more space soon as the missus wants Sims3 / Sim3 Pets.

You can pick them up pretty cheap (£10 or less). BF3 definitely gave me the option to save HD content to either one of my drives (MS HDD or USB storage). The USB storage will need to be formatted through dashboard beforehand but is easy enough. There is a 16gb cap though so dont get carried away with external storage. You could even by 2 USB sticks and leave them in the front of the Xbox  :smiley: You'd have 36gb in total then (clever me!)

Is that for the Xbox 360 Slim? They use different drives to the original 360, I've got a laptop drive but need to check that it's compatible with the software to mod it for xbox usage.

Ah, sorry no. Mines the old type one. Oh well.

Going to get a 320Gb internal drive for it, not too badly priced as they come in a caddy, so by the time I've ordered the correct drive model and  the caddy and mucked about for a couple hours it'll have cost around the same as buying one. It will just have to wait a bit.

Loving the multiplayer, so much different from COD based games. When I get bored I start blowing sh!t up with a rocket launcher  :evil:  I often get a kill because some dood on the other team is hiding in a building I've just blown up  :grin:

Was a bit shocked when I sniped someone laying down sniping others and he didn't die, started to get up amd turn around towards me - took 3 shots! WTF  :shocked:

Yeah sniper shots and bazookas I find them so unreal. So many times I've shot an RPG at someone's feet and they survived.
