So is this game more like BC2 or BF2? The MP has gotten good reviews, but I need people I can trust, preferably people who hated BC2. :p

It's a lot closer to BF2 than BC2. It's back to more vehicle focused large scale maps (if that's your poison) but you can also fine smaller scale soldier only servers if you wanted. Seems to be a roll of the DICE whether you'll encounter bugs or not, but I had a ton of problems with BF2, few problems with BC2, and next to none with BF3. Granted my exposure to BF3 is quite small so far but it seems to be a bit more stable. BC2 reeked of unoptimized console port while BF3 seems to be well thought out for the PC crowd.

Yeah, BF3 is definitely better than BC2. It still feels like BC2, with the plodding movement, dusty environment, and extreme overuse of bloom and HDR. Still, it's pretty fun. Not nearly as good as BF2, but given that I expected it to be terrible, I guess I'm happy with it. They just need to fire whoever designed the UI.... out of a cannon... into the sun.

And give me an option to remove the HDR and head-bobbing.
