I finished the singleplayer for this last week and loved it. It wasn't quite as battlefield as I expected it to be (mostly on foot with the occasional vehicle). It really looks good too (playing it on the PC), probably the first game I've played that rivals Crysis. Destructible environments are great fun too and add quite a bit to the game. Naturally the singleplayer story was rubbish, but I think they just strung together a bunch of multiplayer maps and made a story to fit.
I tried playing online yesterday, and I'm pretty rubbish. Whenever I do quickplay or whatever, it always puts me in an empty server. I did have a good match against this one guy though. It was initially me on my own exploring the map until this guy joined. He dominated me at the start until I got serious and started hunting him as a recon. It was actually quite fun trying to find each other and hoping not to be seen.
Full servers aren't so fun though. Being new at the game I'm naturally rubbish and even if I occasionally have a good run I inevitably get killed by someone I never saw. The ranking thing seems a bit pointless though. I assumed I could join servers with similarly ranked people or something, but instead I'm just in with people 50 levels higher than me with awesome weapons, makes it tough to get motivated to keep playing, especially because the rifle that I know I like from the singleplayer game is the very last unlock for the recon...
