Pheace: Even more ridiculous is that they seem to have let in the US Origin people a day earlier 'because people were abusing Korean VPN to already get their game started' ....
Heh. The Japanese release isn't until sometime in November and I see Twitter is full of comments of people buying from GamersGate and using VPN access to play now.
SimonG: Wait, BF 3 has singleplayer? Since when?
Well, I assume (perhaps incorrectly) that Battlefied has always had SP. At least #2 did in the form of bot fights. Only this time, that apparently decided to scrap the bot mode entirely and add a campaign along the same lines as COD instead.
If it kept the bots for use on multiplayer maps, I'd happily pay the current price as it would further extend playability once the campaign is finished. (FYI, I pretty much detest playing with other people in except in rare circumstances, bots a simply far more enjoyable for me.)
So ultimately, while I'm interested in the game, I'm just not sure the SP is worth the current price. But then again, if it's of the same level as the COD campaigns, I might still be tempted as long as it isn't too short...
