What about it is overrated? It's not going to be the best game ever but it's most certainly a great marriage between BF2's scale and BC2's cinematic battles. Which is what I was expecting at least. People are expecting too much from BF3, therefor overrated. I've not heard anyone being happy with the Alpha/Beta versions, and they then just blame it being shit because its Alpha/Beta and then continue thinking the end product will be 100 times better. All the fanboys will buy their game and the game developers will be happy again, I am not buying either game.(because I'm AC fanboy) When people are making reviews of the actual finished game and they are saying it's really good, I might buy BF3/MW3.
