Great game, with a few multiplayer quirks
First off, this game is great! It's in the same class as BF2 and 1942 (we'll just forget about 2142 and vietnam), but is just missing the airplanes. The classes are a bit different, and have some strange quirks (who thought giving the grenade launcher and ammo bags to the same class was a good idea?). The destroyable buildings are fun, and add another dimension to the game.
The multiplayer game modes are great, but the squad deathmatch could probably use a bit better map design.
This wouldn't be a true EA game without some strange server browser bugs. They have fixed most of them, but a few still remain. The most annoying is that some of the filters don't work. A good example is the "hardcore" filter, which seems to only filter servers that have team damage enabled, but aren't actually "hardcore".
It's also not uncommon to find a team full of snipers, when that side is supposed to be attacking... but so it goes.
In any case, this is a great game for any battlefield multiplayer fan. It plays good with a group of 4 players, but is still fun alone.

The game is great! Only one whine...
The game is great. It's engaging, fast paced, and the sound continues to amaze me. The only whine that I have is not about the game, it is about the veteran status (owning past Battlefield games). While it is only a prestige thing to have veteran status next to your in game name, I have attempted to add my 4 other Battlefield games to my profile many different times and it never sticks.
Back to the game... the new way of squads being able to spawn on ANYONE in the squad brings a new element of fun to the game. Rarely do you have to spend time hoofing it back to the front line.
