The best way to drain these perpetual motion kids, would be to take them to the park and let loose the little gremlins so that they could do all the work themselves, all the while sitting on the park bench and sipping
Now that I had managed to get the kids to sleep, I quickly began to get everything setup for some gaming time. I grabbed some fresh AAA batteries and installed them in my Turtle Beach head phones, a fresh
12 minutes later I start the game and head straight to the online portion. I then stare at the loading screen for 8 minutes before I decide to dashboard and try it again, third times a charm and I am in the game. I manage to do pretty well and get a damn nice kill death ration. I just kept going for the objectives and kill people left and right winning most of my engagements. On my third round of total game play the servers crash and gaming time was over.
A few days later I manage to drain the little munchkins again and get online and see if the BF3 serves are up and running again. I only had to wait 3 minutes to get into a game this time. Then began the loathsome task of playing this sniper-infested game. This is the first version of Battlefield where you can lay prone, which in turn allows someone to lie down in a bush 900 feet away with an unobstructed view of most of the map and pick you off till the cows come home. Then I also had to endure the tedious ramblings of two 11 year old kids arguing about who is more awesome at this game, all the while someone else has their crappy music blaring into their microphone and no options on how to mute these maroons.

I am happy I took the time to download and play the beta, it afforded me the opportunity to try out a game I most definitely will not be purchasing. For those who are loyal to the Battlefield genre I am sure you will get it and enjoy every minute you play. For me this game is not my cup of tea. I am sure if I had the time to invest in learning the massive maps, figure out how to effectively operate the vehicles and had a bunch of friends who would actually play this game, I might consider picking this game up and giving it a chance. But right now Austin is tossing the contents of his crib onto the floor while giggling to himself. Erika is shouting at the top of her voice; “DADDY I’M READY!“. Game time is over and now begins playtime.
