There are no fast-travel points at all in the DLC. Yes, you have to drive back and forth each time. It's part of the reason why I absolutely hated that DLC, even though the quests were interesting.
Just finished Kushiel's Dart. Very much a slog until about halfway through and then it was a fantastic read.
Taking a break from that world for awhile though. Am rereading Brisingr so I can finally read the final book in the series. After that, I have several books on the list including Dune, Anna Dressed in Blood, and the first Game of Thrones book. So much to read, so little time...
The only thing I've ever ordered from PlayAsia was my copy of Persona 3: FES like two years ago. It was the cheapest option. I chose the slowest shipping and boy, was it slow. It probably took three weeks before I finally received it. I'm pretty sure you can trust them, though. I've heard about people using PlayAsia for years and years now. Seems like a very safe place to order from.
I only do it for games I know I'm going to want. It's nice to get the pre-order in and then not worry about it until it shows up at my house. I don't ever pre-order at retail stores.
I solve this problem by not playing the bigger maps with vehicles. I'm a fan of the smaller maps with a focus on infantry combat, with maybe a vehicle or two per side.
I can see why people would not want to play Assault though. Engineer is too important on those vehicle-heavy maps. I hate seeing a tank on my mini-map and not being able to do anything about it.
The only problems I've ever had with BF3 was due to the game not getting enough memory. Once I fixed that (which was extremely easy, once I figured out how to do it), it has run beautifully. Haven't touched my settings since I set them.
If it comes out on the same day, I doubt it. Odds are, they have everything planned out and set up already. Jumping into a game none of them know a thing about sounds like a recipe for disaster.
It was okay. I just didn't like how it put you in EXACTLY the same place that the first one ended at, with things about to jump off. Feels like a bit of a cop-out.
All you get from having a save are a few pieces of gear. Nothing that's really worth it.
If you want to search for collectibles and do the (somewhat meager number of) side quests, you can do that on a second playthrough. I don't think it has much replayability, at least not much more than the first game.
