Uh, what exactly is wrong with BF3?
As a game, BF3 is fun (albeit broken in some areas).
As a BF game, it's been dumbed down and I can't speak for everyone but I do not like the fact that flags are now clustered, the Infantry focused approach, the smaller squads and the lack of a Battlerecorder or Commander.
Granted, the Infantry combat is an improvement over older games but it seems like DICE or EA in their war with COD have tried to focus BF3 more on the COD market. Finally, the Developers have even called their gametype recently introduced to BF3 with CQ as Gun game (COD) instead of Gun master which further implies this. Granted, Gun game was in CS (from what i've been told by Syx, new to CS :D) but the fact that the developers shut down the only source of reasonable criticism and suggestions (EA UK "Mordor") shows that they are not willing to hear the older fanbase.
Just my personal take on the matter. In my opinion, Battlefield has gone downhill since 2142. The games are still fun, but they aren't very good BF games. As mentioned, the same can be said for Ghost Recon and Splinter Cell. Bungie at least didn't stray from the Halo formula with any of the games which is what i liked about them.
Anyways, open for discussion on this at some point but i believe the OP's question has been answered so I won't digress further :)
