I've read the ACR has 26+1 rounds for some reason instead of 30. Also, the RPK doesn't get an extended mag anymore, but every other mag lmg does.

Shenanigans.

Gun game is a CounterStrike mod.
You start with the weakest pistol and rank up through ever-stronger weapons, which you get immediately for a kill (or after your next respawn).
After the last weapon in the cycle, you also needed one grenade kill and one knife kill to ultimately win the whole round.
Every kill not made with the current needed weapon doesn't count for ranking up in the cycle.
It's a quite fun game mode, much better than the quite stale shooting in CS.

I have no idea how they will implement that in BF3.
But I can already imagine that it is much better than the silly Squad DM.
Sounds like BO's and MW3's Gun game.  BO had fixed set of guns.  MW3 has an option for random selection.
Yes they were copied from the CS Gun Game...

they overpromised and underdelivered on BF3 in general.  They blatantly lied about developing BF3 as a PC-centric game.  Plus, the game is not that great.  If the game was a true BF2 sequel, I would be pumped and more than willing to pay for more content.  But it's not and I'm not.

Pretty much this. I was looking forward to another game I could play for a few years. EA is trying to follow Activision's footsteps. I quit buying CoD after Black Ops. I have quit buying BF after BF3.

i really used to laugh at all the 'consoles r ruining gaems' lot, but yeah i'm pretty gutted with how bf3 turned out. i'll still play it an awful lot because i play regularly with dudes and we can have a laugh, but it's more because of the people i'm playing with that bf3 is fun for me - it's not actually a terribly fun game without that.

Well after 3 days of wondering whether or not my cheap-assed premium purchase from India would work, and no money being taken from my account, the money has finally gone this morning.

I assume that means it worked.

Well, the new maps are appearing in the server listing, but when I click on them, it tells me I have to download and install the DLC, offers a continue tab, nothing happens. I'm assuming by the fact none of the servers running the CQC maps are populated that it hasn't yet been activated?

Not until the 12th, I believe. You can get started unlocking guns via assignments, afaik, but that's about it.

Line jumping as an incentive just seems to be a sign that DICE wants people to either pay them more to play or quit. At first a server que was a great idea. Then DICE added line jumping and managed to even ruin that. Now people without premium cannot join there favorite servers unless they are on the reserved slot list, which negates the point of even having a server que once again. Once almost everyone has it then what? All the premium members still have to wait in line and the guy without cannot get into any server they want to.

This was something I remember as being common practice in the military. If you tried to go to an on base barber shop, the higher ranks could just walk in and sit down even if you had been there for an hour. The result was the people who constantly got line jumped eventually just finding other barber shops of base or not getting a haircut until they were forced to.

Dude, DICE has nothing to do with the marketing and advertising. They just made the game, EA is handling everything else.

No matter where it came from all players should be able to enjoy their game without special privilege just to play it.

Wasnt a problem for me. I just decided to learn how to cut my own hair after that happened a few times. Saved me loads of money and time over the years. Anyhow I have to get a hair cut every so often, I dont have to play BF3, I just would like to from time to time.

Sounds like BF3 got a bit more military realism added.
