I played about 5 rounds of team deathmatch and my first impression is the game is slow. The controls are twitchy and so far graphics are finicky and just ok. I'm getting used to the controls, layout, and gameplay still but so far my verdict is 6.5/10.
You move around real slow, the replays suck, picking which loadout you want is not streamlined. I'll play it more and see if it gets better for me. If not, I may just sell or trade it and pickup MW3.

I have a friend who pretty much has the same complaints. The only counter argument or comments of opinion I can possible make are:
The controls are fine if you're used to playing tactical on MW (meaning the right thumbstick is your prone/crouch)
The game play is slow and chaotic at the same time meaning its not the type of game you can just run into and start blasting away. BF has always tried to capture that feeling of "you must find cover." With COD this type of game play is frowned upon because it's similar to camping but in real life as in if I were a soldier in BFE, you best believe I will camp like no other.
The replays are there to help you see where your killer was at, its not really a reply more like a reveal.
If you manage to play with a good squad and communicate with them, I think the experience is fantastic. If I play the way I do when I run & gun in COD, yes the BF sucks because this is not the type of game it is. There is a reason why you get spawn points and squad points. The system wants you to slow down and wait for your squad.
The load out is actually a lot better than previous BF games. I'd say the interface is more PC than console.

***** it, I'm trading in MW2, Brink and any other xbox games I can find so out of pocket I'm paying lint.
Bf3 here I come, even if it sucks i can trade it back in for mw3 next month + a few bucks.

I ended up selling BF3 and picking up MW3. BF3 was good, but not my preference. I like the run and gun style of MW3.
MW3 feels just like MW2, which isn't a bad thing. Infinity Ward went with the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality on this one. So far the maps seem to be close quarter combat maps. I've only played a handful of games. The interface is the same as MW2, so if you played it you'll be right at home with MW3.
