DAYS. BF3 is more of a compromise, I really enjoy some of the maps.. but they will never compete with that of say.. Wake Island or Strike at Karkand from 2. IMO Strike is the best map i've ever played second to Dust2 in CS:S because it's so unbiased and ALWAYS a blast to play in. Still though, EA didn't do a bad job on BF3 (BFBC2 was a tester of the new gadgets and I absolutely hated that game). You can kill people with pretty much any weapon without all the silly LOLOL I GOT AN AC 130 KEKEKE Look at my NUKE LOLOLOL. No, this is battlefield.. save that crappy 12 year old stuff for Infinity Ward. It's still moving away from tactical FPS (squads were really squads back then... commanders actually had a role in changing battles.. and classes were important). I did like Assault being mashed up with medic, that's sweet. Snipers are i'd say a little more difficult to use.. but still fun. Support is usually **** until higher levels.. and engineer is well.. engineer.. it's a hit or miss. Attack Choppers are more usable now, and Jets I haven't seen have a map large enough to support the carnage (COUGH COUGH WAKE ISLAND >_>)
As to relate to this thread.. Call of Duty is boring after the first few weeks and only addicts go play to prestige because they haven't played a real PC Battlefield.

I agree with this although I have enjoyed the Call of Duty series. The original Modern Warfare was groundbreaking and the series got me through the gap of Battlefield games. The first battlefield I played was 1942 (PC) while I was in college and I would spend hours playing that game. It was easily the best game out around 2003/2004 period. I got Battlefield 2 for PS2 after and although it was much different on the console, it was easier to control. I played that with my fraternity brothers where we set up three PS2s and 3 tvs all on one table so we could play together since we didn't have headsets. Those were the days...
Anyway, I'm not opposed to Call of Duty at all and I bought and played all the games from Modern Warfare to Black Ops. MW2 had the best solo missions/story and zombie mode is also amazing from that series. I do prefer Battlefield's squad play/classes and honestly, nothing beats shooting down a Japanese Zero with a Corsair. My grandfather was a bombardier stationed in Guam for the war so I'm a little partial... I wish they would remake 1942.
