    I usually dive right into the single-player of a game before I touch the multiplayer, and in some cases never booting up the multiplayer, but for this game I have not. In fact I feel any real impetus to do so for the foreseeable future. How many of you didn't even boot up the single-player yet?

    I played the single player for like 30 minutes. Haven't felt compelled to go back.

    I booted it up, it's pretty by the numbers outside of a few interesting sequences.I did have one beautiful glitch where all my squad guys ran through a door and disappeared before one of them came back through the door and kicked it open for me. It was like they suddenly remembered that my character is a man with a gun attached to a stump and is completely unable to turn a doorknob. I'll finish it but it's mostly a time killer.

    It has its moments, definitely worth playing, but not great. You can totally tell it wasn't the focus of the game.

    I might be just a shit SP player but I got to some of the night-time levels early on, go frustrated at getting killed by cheap kills and returned home to the glorious insanity of the multiplayer straight away.

    @DemiGodRaven: That was your .gif? :O

    I actually enjoyed the campaign, more than I have most recent shooters. I'd say it's worth a playthrough.

    I finished it but pretty much had to force myself to. I played it on hard and there were definitely moments where I wanted to throw my controller. Especially on Operation Guillotine. But yea, this is one of the very few games where I went straight into multiplayer when I got it. Single player is nothing special.

    I feel they keep the story for the Bad Company games. The core games are all about the multiplayer.

    I booted it up just to see what settings I could run at comfortably, then I played the MP all night.

    I used it to bind my keys and change graphical settings without having to join a match.

    I played through till the end-area of Swordbreaker, the first actual mission, then I got killed and decided I literally never want to play that again. Doesn't bother me.

    I intended to beat it before playing the multiplayer. I've played 2 or 3 hours of the campaign and 16 - 18 of the multiplayer.

    Got it out of the way today. Played it on easy, because I really didn't feel like failing any of it. Was enjoyable for what it is, though some of the story twists did my head in. The Paris level is outstanding.

    I hate scripted games like these.
    The game kept spawning the same enemy in the same place no matter how many times I headshotted him.
     
    Then I walked over to the checkpoint and he stopped spawning.
    Ugh.

    Yes I did play thru it today. It was a mixture of awesomeness and garbage.

    I played through it mostly when my friends or clan mates where offline. Very short, it was decent fun considering BF2 never had a single player. I don't think it was on the story level of BFBC2. However at least as a PC player playing the game was beautiful. It felt like a benchmark program the entire time.

    I played through it and it ended up growing on me a little bit. I just wish there weren't so many bugs and that the enemies weren't such amazing shooters like in Call of Duty.

    I'm almost done with it, and I have to day I don't mind it. Looks amazing, some fun set pieces, and a story that isn't as stupidly over the top as MW2 was (loved MW1, hated 2).

    I think Medal of Honour had the best campaign of the recent batch (small scale, fairly realistic), followed by this, Blops, then BC2 and MW2 bringing up the rear.

    Not that it matters anyway, as holy shit that multiplayer!

    Just beat it. I liked it. I'd say I enjoyed the way Black Ops did it better, but I like the realism throughout BF3s singleplayer. I think my favorite is still CoD4 if we're talking about military shooters. So, BF3 is probably my third favorite. Just please fix the bugs!

    I finished it. Enjoyed it quite a bit even though it felt lacking in some aspects.
