I feel like I was alot more skilled in BC2 than I am in BF3 I have got the hang of it now but it took time, personally I hate to say it but I had alot more fun on BC2 I didnt get nearly as frustrated on it as I do on BF3 but I doubt ill go back, although my play style suits BC2 better I reckon with time ill figure out the the correct way to play BF3.

Love both games, prefer BF3 at the moment.

I don't know it's a tough call. I do like the vehicles for bf3 more as well as many other things but back in the days of bc2 me and a friend would stay up all night laughing our asses off playing bc2 but with bf3 I get angry and rage a lot more and its harder to get friends in the same squad,or team,or even match. Both are great games in my opinion.

I found many of the maps in bc2 more enjoyable. Atacama Desert, Arica Harbor, Oasis, Laguna Presa, Panama Canal... All great maps! I also think they looked less washed out, more colorful and the atmosphere in general felt right for me.

Another (maybe minor) thing I really don't understand in bf3, is why they had to make the menus so irritating and bland. bc2 had better, more appealing menus imao.

Battlefield Bad Company 3 after Medal of Honor 2.

The reason the hit detection seems off in BC2 is because of the recoil and bullet spray. COD has almost no recoil or bullet spray thus it seems that the hit detection is better. I've honestly not had a problem with hit detection in BC2. It may also seem like you have better hit detection in BF3 because you don't have to shoot as many bullets to kill someone. Truth is the detection marker is what the problem is. Sometimes it doesn't show up when you actually hit someone.

It'd be sweet if they brought bc2 maps in bf3

BC2 was my first ever FPS, so that is where my allegiance lies. Plus, i liked chopper whoring just a little to much.

@SirDiesAlot96 i think thats more likely not cause its a different game, but simply because more people are playing it and the the types of people playing it now are completely different to the regular battlefield crowd. whereas BC2 was only really bought by battlefield nuts cause if im rightly so, the retrospective COD was actually a good game back then. although i suppose as MW3 shows, sales aren't reflective on the quality of the game!

The most annoying thing to me is that with BF3, as much as I don't want to, I find myself caring more about my stats. In BC2, battlelog didn't exist so I didn't have as quick access, nor did anyone else. When you don't care about your stats, you can have a lot more fun.

I think I enjoyed BFBC2 more, but I perform better in BF3 (at least statwise).
