Question for Cod Players who have Battlefield 3?

• if you were originally a cod player (and i mean an experienced one who enjoys the game) and decided to get bf3 for a new experience, i have a question for you. What do you think of Battlefield 3 compared to Call of Duty Modern Warfare1-2/Black ops? Heres my story. Im one of those people that can play cod for hours and hours and still have fun getting killstreaks, watching cool kill cams and all that other adrenaline pumping things u can do in cod. but theres also the times when i can go through multiple matches getting only a few kills because of the noobs and campers.that is why i decided that i want to play something new and more strategy based like battlefield where there are no noobs and campers. so i went out a few days ago and picked up battlefield 3. sadly i was devastated that my 60 dollars that could have gone towards a copy of mw3 was wasted entirely on battlefield 3. heres what disappointed me. First off the campaign was very good in my opinion and that is the only positive of this game for me. Not to diss battlefield or nothing but i hated the multiplayer so much. not that the game sucks, but i just didnt like it at all, this game just isnt for me. In multiplayer i went probably 2-30 on my first teamdeathmatch. heres why. my squad was running all over the map none of them working together as id hoped the game would be like. there was noone there to revive me ever and no to supply me with ammo. i was constantly spawning at the initial spawn and had to run all the way back to the actual fight which was usually at least a minute of sprinting away. also the campers were endless. death after death, all i saw on the screen was a sniper camping at least halfway across the map just sitting there waiting for their next easy kill. i even tried sniping and it was even worse. i was sniped even more easily. the air vehicles are too difficult to use and the ground vehicles get blown up before u even see anyone. speaking of which, it always takes me at least a min to find someone on these endless maps. there are no killcams and the radar doesnt help me at all. ive played online for at least 4 days now and ii dont believe ive ever come close to getting a positive ratio. in cod, its easy and fun to play. in cod i can actually feel good about getting things like last kill of the game/round, getting cool killstreaks or even taking out groups of enemies all on my own. battlefield has none of that. i mean it doesnt even have private or custom games. i mean seriously? campaign and multiplayer and thats it. once i finished the campaign i was saddened by the fact that all i had left to play was the boring, frustrating multiplayer. in cod u have a good campaign, a good multiplayer with many game modes unlike bf3, custom games, private matches, prestiging, customizing player cards, an easy way to make good classes and even extra things like spec ops and survival mode in the new mw3. to me battlefield is worth mabye 15 for campaign and 10 for multiplayer. and it breaks my heart that i wasted 60 dollars to be playing a combat arms like game. actually combat arms is on the same level as bf3 online to me. just as boring. cod is filled with excitement and fun to have with friends. u cant even have split screen on bf3. it sucks. i quit bf3 today and played black ops again. and let me tell you, it was a blast playing with my cousin in splitscreen in zombies and all the online game modes like cap the flag,demolition,domnation,search and destroy teamdeathmatch, etc and we even messed around and plaayed custom matches and did things like making our own cool emblems and playercards. i mean it was all around fun. we even made sure that his parents would let him come over next week so that we can have a blast playing mw3. i know its long but i was just writing down what came to mind about battlefield 3 and cod. honestly i am going to trade in my battlefield 3 copy for 30 dollars toward mw3, i know gamestops cheap and will only give me that much (and thats a promotion theyre having) but id rather have an extra 30 for mw3 than having a 60 dollar case of regret sitting on my shelf for the rest of my life just collecting dust. this may be because the games just not for me, but i dont see how people have fun with it. so whats your opinion on battlefield 3 and cod mw3. i know mw3 isnt out but im just using that since its bf3's competitor. when i say mw3 i mean the cod franchise. F BATTLEFIELD AND EA FOR STEALING MY MONEY! GO INFINITY WARD/ACTIVISION FOR GIVING ME A GAME THATS WORTH MY MONEY.

• Answer:

  Your first issue is you played TDM first. Second of all,this game takes some amount of skill. Flying vehicles are gonna be a pain to fly. Stick with land vehicles. Snipers,yes,are a pain,but avoid that area,OR get friends together and play. Get a guy to counter snipe. To address sniping,unlike CoD which you seem to love,sniping requires accuracy,and over long distances,you need to compensate for bullet drop. They arent always a 1 hit kill,(even with bolt actions) but its a finesse weapon.CoD is for relaxed people. Radar is built so that you have to mark targets to see them,not a UAV that sees everything. (Later in recon,you can get a MAV,which is a controlled UAV,and even then,you mark targets.) I admit that BF has a small learning curve,but honestly,just play with teams and play smart. Dont rush around like its CoD. BF3=/= Cod tactics. Playercards are just a gimmic that you have bought into. Honestly,NO ONE pays attention to it. In BF, you are the killstreak. You want an airstrike? Mark the target and get a jet to take it out. Fanboyism is annoying,and honestly,you rage alot. Are you 12? Well,enjoy CoD... EDIT: Also,my bad if i seemed ranting. Approach BF3 in the correct manner and its amazing. THe main difference is that CoD is an Arcade game. BF is a simulator. Its going to be hard for a cod fanboy to play and adapt. Give it time.:)
