My brain doesn't have a filter, more like a weapon. Either "Select or Full Auto". No in between with me. LOL

New BF3 Expansion Pack? YES!!!
Anyone who prefers any COD game over this new installation of the BF series is simply...ignorant.
This is the new style of online, multiplayer games. Yes, it has it's glitches (which they frequently patch, fairly for the most part), and of course there will always be those opponents who either spawn camp your vehicles, control the airspace, control one area, etc.
I could go on, and I am sure many other users here could as well about how irate they do or have become because of something, or rather some other player(s) actions, causing them to RAGEQUIT, take the game disc out of the console, sell the game and console altogether, or even throw your controller through your new plasma 52" TV. Been there, done that...
The beauty of Battlefield 3, and well the BF series in general, is that it offers players a chance to choose their own methods and tactics of attack, which most times requires teamwork and, unfortunately, sacrificing the "oh-so-precious" Kill/Death ratio some serious gamers yearn for.
Sadly, this game is not for such players. When I get on Xbox360, same gamertag as my username FYI, I almost ALWAYS run with my squad, who are usually in an Xbox live party talking with me even though we can only fit 8 players in a Live party at once (damn you Microsoft) in a 12 person team, but even with only 8 out of 12, hell I've had game where literally myself, my twin brother playing on his account in the game with me on my squad and one other person who actually uses their microphone for more than playing loud, obnoxious music or complaining about their day at work/bitching kids/spouse/whatever, well most times I will still be able to, if not win the game overall which I do mostly then I will still be satisfied with having played a solid game.
Again, this is most times. I do occassionally ragequit due to the lack of teamwork, and I've even quit on my team when we were working together and getting our asses kicked, but many times when we've been down by as much as even 100 spawn tickets; if we work as a team, we succeed.
Whew, long post...does anyone see any sort of allegory here for how things should be getting done in this country right now or is it just me? Wait, actually I hate politics...WTF am I sayin?
for the TL;DR - New expansion pack looks to make an already awesome game even better, hopefully more noobs will go back to COD.
