Hi Rockape,
Well, even as a Head Admin for MW3, I was originally finding it way to fast for my brain to keep up. I would get killed every 10 seconds. However I have suck with it, and am absolutely loving it now. Again I can't compare with BF3, to be honest you can't really. They are so different in their game play. If you want tactical, and take your time, I guess BF3 is for you. If you want to play in a similar style to the previous COD editions (though much faster!) then MW3 is for you. I personally haven't had any problems with the game. It's very stable as far as I'm concerned.
At present few people are playing on the dedicated servers, as we all want to rank up first. Once people have got over that (say another month, just in time for Christmas) the Dedis will fill up. The ranking system is the p2p system of MW2, and yes you can sometimes be hosted by someone the other side of the world (especially if you team up with friends in the States) but it trys for the best connections, and is a significant improvement on MW2 for P2P connectivity. Remember you get plenty of juvenile players, to which you can't administer, but it's not the end of the wrold, and you learn to ignore them. Naturally the Dedis can be managed quite convincingly, considering the admins tools have only just come out.
I also cannot find fault (yet) with hackers. I'm sure there are some, and going to be more as time goes by, but it seems very clean at present, which is very refreshing.
In conclusion, you like previous cod series, then you will like this. Just be prepared to get owned for a good few weeks/months, until you get with the pace of the game (going back to cod 4 seems like it's in slow motion!). With the mixture of matchmaking and dedicated servers gives the player plenty to choose from, with a good number of game types, and this is refreshing.
Hope to own you on the battlefield soon
