I'd never played a Battlefield title until now, gave the trial a spin, got hooked and now the only place you'll find me this summer is in the sunny Pacific!

Oh, I know! It's awful. I always keep my headset plugged into my controller and muted completely, so I don't hear the nasty language coming from my TV. The only time I'll use my mic is when I'm playing with some friends or whatnot.

You know what the worst part of the trash talk on Xbox Live is? The inability to block it out. Why is there no option in games to mute voice chat? If I don't want to hear assholes talking shit, I have to turn my headset on and leave it sitting beside me on the couch. Otherwise, the voices come through my home theater speakers, which is not acceptable considering I have 2 children.

Great job on the new Article / Comments toggle. Like the animation. JQuery?

Thanks dude! Yes, it's jQuery.

Nah, I don't want review copies of games. That means I'm more-so obligated to review games, where as I much prefer doing this on a casual basis. I don't want to have to review games, you know? I rented and played Prototype – hated it, and returned it within a couple days. If I received a review copy, I would have had to play it through anyway in order to review it. Not my thing.

Finally had a chance to play this last night….and it's awesome! Such a fun game on Live.

The only thing that's disappointing (as with all games on Live) is the number of nut cases out there! I literally cannot turn on my headset without hearing some random insults, cursing, racist comments, etc.

If anything, it's gotten worse lately – and that's really saying something!

Anyway, back to Battlefield – it's a great game and I'm glad I bought it : )

Picked it up on PS3 and love it. Thanks for the article, EA should dish you some cash for the kind words.

Yeah, now I've played more of the game it's so much like BF1942! It's amazing how you don't really get bored of the three maps because they're so action packed. I've managed to nail down the controls for flying already as I played so much BF2 in the pilot role.

The game is seriously all kinds of awesome!

I saw some people complaining about the small text and icons on the official forums. That's too bad. But it seems most developers are catering specifically to the HD crowd these days. This isn't the first game to suffer this sort of problem either. I recall quite a few, starting with Dead Rising quite a ways back.

The flying vehicles really are the strong points of the BF series. Vietnam had choppers as well, and I spent so many hours playing single player so I could practice. It was a lot harder then, not only due to using a mouse and keyboard, but they gave you much more control over the bird. There was no auto-correcting pitch like there was in BC:MC.
