Battlefield is not CoD

[Kamelmann]

the difference is that Cod is a fish while Battlefield 3 is a video game

HAH.. that caught me offguard and made me literally laugh out loud.. touche good sir..

*ahem* Call of Duty is *supposed* to be a squad shooter.. but ends up being more an individual competition.. Battlefield is a literal squad/war shooter where making use of the different classes with your team mates will help massively towards success and patience and strategy are quite useful..

Whereas in Call of Duty.. well if you've played Halo its just like that.. but with people starting with one hit kill knifes and grenade launchers (which call of duty 3 appears to bringing back.. and then adding more of..)..

F4LL3N - "If run n' gun was on one end of the scale, Battlefield (3) is on the very opposite end"

LOL. I guess you never played real tactical shooters like these.

Oh yea, Ghost recon, i remember playing that on elite in custom maps where the bots instantly kill you and you can't even see them. OICW w/ OICW grenade launcher ftw!

The yare both good, bf3 being more tactical and cod being more fighty.

TF2 is betters.

Battlefield is a much slower, larger-scale, campier shooter. If you like to run and gun, stay the hell away from this series.

If camping a hallway or inside a bush waiting on people sounds like fun to you, you will love Battlefield 3.

Battlefield has a ton of seperate aspects to it, unlike call of duty. Vehicles are the big thing but you can also play a mostly supportive role if you want. If you want to play a run and gun shooter then Halo or CoD is more for you. However Battlefield is more about tactics and teamwork. If you dont coordinate with or help your team mates you will loose, doesnt matter if its deathmatch, rush, or Conquest

The key phrase to winning is probably "Use everything at your disposal". Dont be afraid to drive a Humvee right up to an objective and take it, then hide and shoot anyone that rushes in. You might get killed but a single ticket is worth taking out a high value target like an enemy Mcom, tank, or defending squad. At the same time, dont waste tickets either. Each player needs to balance cowering in the corner with storming an objective

Nope, its worse!

In all honesty, I haven't played BF in a long time, but considering it was just a clone of CoD 4 (aka the last good one) it didn't appeal to me. I would rather play a game I enjoy.
