I am not going to argue that BF: games are better than any other fps out there. What I will do is post things I really enjoy about these games over other fps.
-The vehicles, (driving/flying around a map, with a driver, gunner, and engineer while a recon lights up targets is a beautiful sight, as is having someone tracer a tank/helicopter and having a engineer take it out with a rocket)
-Squad play (most of my hours in BF have been spent in squads of friends and nothing beats team play, being a medic or an engineer and healing or repairing your teammates is one part you don’t seem to get with other fps)
-Maps (enjoy the size of most of the maps, I like the flow of rush game play where once you lose two objective points you have fall back to a set of new points to guard. I don’t know any other fps game that does this)
-No God (it revolves around team play so it’s not like good old counter strike where one person could just rape a team by just sitting back with the AWP and Desert Eagle, to complete the objectives you need some sort of team work)

Things I don’t like,
No class limitations (so if you happen to be on a server with lower ranked players and they all want to be recon, it may be a 2 assault, 2 engineers, 1 medic, and 7 recon against a more balanced team.)
No way to kick people (nothing pisses me off more than seeing a capture point being changed from your teams to another, while 4 or 5 people run the opposite way, or when the mcon station is going off an people trying to find the person who just killed them instead of completing the objective) (I enjoyed good old counterstrike days where if a admin was actually on the server and the bomb had been planted and the retarded was not even attempting to defuse the bomb he would be slayed)

To this day my favorite game is Team Fortress Classic/TFC 2,

So when you fly jets is it just you in it?
I never liked the vehicles in BC. For some reason it got annoying with so many.

BC absolutely fricked most vehicles. an yeah, in BF, you can have a co-pilot who usually mans the TV-guided missles or works laser target bombs n shite.

ETA: although an xbox controller is way more difficult to use than a mouse and keyboard for flying

Don't know about the jets. I thought about it and it wouldn't surprise me if it's just like a perk where you get a jet run (similar to the mortar strikes in Bad Company) and they let you pilot the jet, but limit your control. That's a hunch by me...not fact at all.

As far as the helis, I refuse to get in the pilot's seat. I'm more of a passenger in the helis and tanks. I'll take a humvee for a ride, but that's about it.

jets will be free to use like any other vehicle. actually getting points with them will be difficult though

The chopper was fricking tough but no. I got tired of all the arse clowns racing to ATV,tanks and humvees and buzzing around the map the entire time.

like I said, if you've only played BC2, the scale is going to be massive in comparison. BF2 was huge 32v32 matches that could last an hour with attack choppers, jets, transport choppers, apcs, tanks, cars, humvees... and it all felt perfect. not at all crowded. some maps actually still felt a little big.

It'll be really interesting to see if that's indeed the scope of BF3 and if it can fit on a console.

i don't think they'd make BF3 if they didn't think it could

and an article just came out with the 4 maps in the Back to Karkand expansion pack for BF3. maps are:
- Strike at Karkand (natch)
- Gulf of Oman
- Wake Island
- Sharqi Peninsula

Source:
LINK

this is epic news since karkand, oman and wake are probably the greatest maps in BF2.

ETA: updated OP with this info

frick it. might as well pre-order. if you do it on amazon do you get the game on release day? maybe i should just pre-order it so i can pick it up at midnight at a gamestop or something.
