9 Reasons Battlefield 3 Was The Best

[@appletree5955]

Battlefield 3 was THE only game I would play for years

[@k0la074]

bro I started playing this game when I was 8 yo and i'm still playing it

[@dgtldead]

I enjoyed bf3 more than 4, it just felt more rounded off. Less guns, but they had personality. Weapons with larger calibers felt more punchy compared to lower caliber counterparts so I felt like there was personal choice being regarded. BF4 just had too many guns, and often I felt that it didn't matter what I picked, as most things felt exactly the same. I played support alot, and in bf3 I could tell you the pros and cons of belt fed lmgs, chinese lmgs, russian lmgs, and the mag loaders each had. I could tell you good choices depending on map and playstyle, whereas in bf4, you could pick anything really.

[@drakevevo3710]

i agree bro, im still sad the G3 wasnt in bf4

[@dgtldead]

Also pdws we’re all kit weapons and slug shotguns were awesome. The maps were way better, tdm and rush were way better. Guns felt better. Character models and voice lines were better. Bf3 was just way better than 4.

[@SharkVisionStudio]

@@exmerion i think its the esthetic of the blue digital glitch when you got kills that has such a crisp feeling

[@CptUhudini]

You know what also felt sooo satisfying in BF3? How the game showed your progress and rewarded you. The medals and ribbons during the game and at the end. Especially when you got a Service Star, that was the BEST feeling

[@Pavel-xh4xi]

And those sound effects... I still play those sounds in my head... If there wouldn't be a BF3 Remaster WITH NO TOUCH OF ANYTHING, I would buy it after first real reviews (never preorder, especially EA games). Today, BF3 has a little player count to play most of DLCs...

[@Jarekthegamingdragon]

There's a few things missed about the guns. 1. TTK. The time to kill was perfect in BF3. In BF4 they made it slower. The result was often times leaving enemies with 1 health or being unable to even deal with more than one opponent. It felt sloppy and bad. 2. Hip fire. Hip fire was MUCH more viable in BF3 than BF4. 3. It just feels..off. I don't know how to describe this one but often times I would feel like I had perfect aim and some how those bullets just missed. The gun fights felt awful compared to BF3. Though I will say the campaign is AWFUL in both games. Just generic spunkgargleweewee nonsense. No freedom to the player, just an interactive movie, barely better than a quicktime event.

[@AaronSampsonMedia]

These are spot on. Man, it's so hard sometimes to explain exactly what feels off with BF4's gunplay, it just is.

[@emp1985]

How can I like a comment more than once?? This. TTK and weapon consistency. That alone forced me to play almost exclusively Hardcore in BF4, whereas I could play in Normal in BF3 with no complaints. That was by far the main issue with BF4. Other than that, it's a toss of a coin. I had lots of fun with both. I so hope they bring back that damage model in BF2042.

[@max_-dude1683]

And what if the ttk was A LIIIIIIITTLE BIT slower in bf4? Is that even a bad thing? At least you didn't get instantly melted like in bf3 by those m16a3 abusers, or the aa12 with explosive ammo, god I still remember that thing. The fact that the hipfire was better in bf3 made the game even cheesier, people just spraying like rambo with any gun, ars, pistols, it doesn't matter which weapon it is. Your points aren't really valid, you are doing the opposite of what you had in mind. Jesus christ the bf3 fanboys man... Bf3 did some things better than bf4 and bf4 did some things better than bf3. Both are some of the best fps games ever made. PERIOD. Why are yall fighting for literally no reason? Well, I think I know why. Cause this ytber has started yet another war...

[@account-pending-deletion]

It was the best because it was the last one I played before my life was overwhelmed with responsibilities and adulthood. It's a nostalgic piece of my youth. There ya go, there's an honest answer for most of you.

[@Will_Stahili]

Well, that is in fact, so true...hahahahaha

[@JayRacer]

Haha. I had just transferred from community college to a 4 year university. My signing bonus kicked in from the air force and I was bartending. My boss got fired and a new lady came in and fired me after I snitched on her for serving high school kids beer under my employee number. My unemployment was based off a deployment so I got max unemployment, was in college full-time, no bills, cheap rent, hours at the gym, and a brand new triple screen PC with GTX 680s in SLI. Study, lift, leave the 55” on in the living room hearing mlb tv talk nonstop about Mike Trout, and play BF3 in triple screen. Yup, maybe a little nostalgia lol.

[@knoo1]

yes, but how do you explain that i still play it after 10 years? and i also have bf4 installed.

[@easyDoes1T85]

Nah… it really was the best

[@DeMZIrus]

The best game is the one you played with friends. So for me thats bad company 2. I still remember defending or destroying houses on nelson bay, that damned MCOM station in garage in second stage of rush in arica harbor, shooting a minigun from chopper on isla inocentes while my friend is piloting it and humming flight of valkyries.

[@PositiveBlackSoul]

Best Battlefield moment was getting absolutely obliterated by a Jet on Caspian Border and see said Hotshot get smacked out of the sky by the massive radio antenna midflight.

[@OlderThanAverageGamer]

I'm probably one of the very few people who loved the suppression in BF3. It could definitely get under your skin but if you rolled with your squad and laid down suppressive fire on an enemy group, it felt more useful. Whereas, watching a sniper pull off a head shot whilst getting shot and having that damage they take NOT affect their aim is far more frustrating to me.

[@FevnorTheWolf]

Agreed. It may of been annoying but i mean, it made suppressing fire and effective and useful strat.

[@detectiveharris8772]

Nah. You missing your bullets should not cause my weapon spread to be random. Tainted the gunplay. Should’ve kept it like how it was at launch

[@OlderThanAverageGamer]

Hey.. We're all entitled to our opinion

[@Joao-ur7ey]

Completely agree. It also made the game more tactical while still been arcade, instead of the wannabe CoD the franchise is downhilling to.

[@Snoozie]

BF3 is definitely my favourite, BF4 was good but I feel the amount of lock on that was on vehicles and weapons really ruined vehicle gameplay for me because any time you get in a vehicle you instantly get the warning beeps. BF3 was a bit better there, but BF4 is more balanced in guns, and I kinda like how broken some BF3 weapons were Regardless, both are some of best games

I was on the very last end of 2142 being populated, and it was the first battlefield multiplayer I got to play. It was INCREDIBLE.

And it's not even close.

Thank you for proving these points, BF4 is when they started to appeal to the masses. It just felt like they tried to say.. look how big this is or look how cool this is. It had no soul. In BF3 it was more simple but it was better because it was way more focused intense combat.

[@WarriorChant]

I have played BF2,BF2142,BC2,BF3,BF4,BF1 (and Project reality for those who know it) The hype for BF3 was HUGE, I think it was a good game, but for me it didn't have the fun factor BC2 had. BC2 was special. For me BC2 is the most fun game I have ever played (since the age of 3 I am 25). But BF2 deserves the title as the best BF2 game, it was so god damn revolutionary and incredible, the soundtracks, the maps, the vibe, everything was so ... Right

[@AaronSampsonMedia]

Man BC2 was such a special game. It just absolutely nailed it for the time it came out.

[@dudeinthesuit2]

Battlefield 3 was the game that really made me jump fully onto the Battlefield train. Right from first playing and taking part in the naval invasion where everyone jumps in amtracs and helos, to jumping off damavand peak with your entire team for the first time, or running down the halls of metro just to realize too late that you and your squad just ran right into a support players trap. One of my fondest gaming memories is witnessing an intense air to air battle on Caspian border as I was perched up on the tower with my sniper rifle while our tanks were fighting just below me. One of those "only in Battlefield" moments

[@rebelsoldier284]

Battlefield 3 was and still is lightning in a bottle. It was my first entry into the franchise (ironically by accident from the Medal of Honor Reboot) But just on that alone it holds a special place in my gaming nostalgia. And I'm guessing more and more than I'm in the minority when it comes to the suppression system from BF3, which I was actually pretty well accustomed to. To me, it added to the immersion of being in a firefight. That snap of a round flying past and blurring and affecting my accuracy gave me that since of 'Shit, cover!' and relocate to a better position. But again, that was just me. It also seemed like the content was more worth while with Battlefield 3, even with the Premium Pass system. Ironically, it's seemed as if ever since the Live Service model started getting used with Battlefield, the content just hasn't felt the same. cosmetics, minimal map drops. maybe a new weapon here and there. But with Battlefield 3's Premium...all the new and extra content just felt worth the additional cost. Sadly, it's felt like Battlefield has been on a slow downward spiral since Battlefield 4. Speaking honestly. If we could get a Battlefield 3 Remastered, I'd take that over what we're seeing with 2042 any day.

[@MERCENARIE]

I think you just about hit the nail on the head with this one. I am excited to see BF3 in the Portal!

[@InevitableMayo]

BF3's suppression was fine for me. It was very noticeable even in my (at the time) young eyes. But when I play BFV with ZERO suppression, I miss the good old days. I can shoot at a sniper all I want in BFV but they will still just go "no u" and 1-shot me in the face after I've pumped like 5 bullets into them from long range. snipers in BFV feel like they have no counter.

3 was much better. Teamwork was huge and a lot of people used their mic. 2XP weekends and getting snacks ready for a Battlefield marathon was the shiznit. Great video! Thanks.

[@SomeUnremarkableGuy]

Bad Company 2 was peak to me. I like how it was balanced, I like even more vehicle destruction on BC2 than on BF3, bullet drop, weapon recoil. BF3 felt so much like CoD. I remember playing for a short of period of time I become really good at BF3, but on BC2 it required some time. And God how much I hated suppression effect and the sung glare.

[@Person-el3sf]

I'd say the exact opposite, BC2 felt a lot more like CoD with useful weapons like the M60 being blatantly nerfed into literal uselessness with every stat being lower than the preferred PKM which was unlocked earlier. Overall BF2 just felt like 3 lane maps which were extremely long, good for rush but bad for conquest. The destruction was alright but making every building destructible lead to every building looking almost the exact same. The recoil was almost non existent and the bullet drop was predictable, easily one of the most "CoD-Like" Battlefield games out there

Where games could be made by gamers for gamers and the broad culture was about unity. Lying to yourself and expecting any game these days to reach that peak is setting yourself up for disappointment.

I can tell you moments from modern warfare and mw2 campaigns but I can't remember shit from bf3 and that game is the newest of the 3. The multiplayer blows it away.

[@roninsghost108]

Bf3 was my entry point but I didn't really get to experience battlefield true potential till I got online capabilities in 2013 about 8 months before bf4. I still play bf4 semi regularly now and am happy to of been able to play both. Love the maps of bf3, and the weapon customisation of 4. If we get both in 2042 even with the plus system I'll be happy with 2p42 and cannot wait to make content for it

God, I remember my friend getting a brand new PC back in '11 for this game, and I couldn't believe how amazing it looked and played. I was a hardcore BF2, Bad Company 1/2 fan, so in my opinion it's still the best. battlefield 2042 is already pre-ordered, I can't WAIT for this one.

[@rubenvillegas7943]

I honestly grew up playing bf4 but luckily had the chance to play it before just a handful of times and wish I played 3 instead , bf3 is truly the best modern battlefield

[@JA-lr5ix]

God I miss suppression! We need meaningful suppression back! Makes the game more tactical

[@4TheWinQuinn]

Exactly. Casuals don’t understand this they just whine.

[@etchasketch222]

Can we get a video on how Planetside 2 is/was the best? That game is SERIOUSLY underrated and deserves more positive attention.

[@ericmorales5395]

Battlefield 2, 2142, and Bad Company for me are the Best battlefields. Vietnam was also very fun

[@anthonyharper7767]

I'm about to play this on my 360 for the first time. Any tips? What am I in for??

[@DWillis7]

Anyone who hasn’t played BF3 NEEDS to go and play it. My favourite game of all time.

[@zachsnightmare]

Was remembering this game and looked up my stats on battlenet 970+ hours of pure enjoyment.

[@tulegaming415]

Bad company 2 was the best hands down, the destruction and rush modes were awesome.

[@InFamXYT]

Bf3 and bc2 are equally amazing to me

[@soulfieldmax]

My entry point was modern combat 2 on console, I was then 15 years old hehe, now I'm 30 and I still enjoy BF games till this day, second games BFBC2 then 3,4,1,5 and waiting till 2042

[@hopekee]

BF3 is a graphical masterpiece! BF4 feels like a cheaper copy with extra features to lure the cod people in, BF1 was in it's turn an introduction to Battlefield for new players with more simplistic design choices borrowed from the Battlefront series. And now we are at the next generation of Battlefields, which brings a massive hype again. See you on the Battlefield ;)

[@boomboy4102]

I feel like what your favourite BF is is more a personal thing than actually an arguable, objective truth. Like my favourite BF games are 4 and 5 because theyre the ones which i have fond memories of

[@sohogen8482]

never thought i would find myself agreeing with gamestop but here i am. GREAT points alot of which are never mentioned by youtubers. agree with basically everything you said. bf3 was the most fun.

[@majinvegeta9280]

I haven't played any battlefields yet and I'm trying to find out where I wanna start.

[@itsTakadi]

just one Thing to Clear up DICE or Any Gaming Studio cannot satisfy its Fan Base , i learned this from playing Playing Battlefield Accept and appreciate every game they make, because at the end of the day they did their Best and Work hard to generate Never Seen before ideas and im glad i played Almost every Battlefield Game and i truely enjoyed it and i hope others do the same thing Cheers

[@zowbaid89]

My 4 reasons why BF3 was the best. 1. Operation Metro 2. Best maps 3. Best jets 4. The kill feed was more satisfying with the green and orange

[@PR3M3]

I dropped 1,006 hours into BF3 still to this has the record for most hours I've spent on a single game. The battlefield franchise has the record for most hours I've spent on a game franchise.

[@bullpupgaming708]

I honestly loved both BF3 and BF4. Having been playing Battlefield since BF1942 (yes I'm old, I know), each BF game has its own ups and downs. When it comes to BF3 and BF4, I think BF3 had better maps that were not just not just bigger, but the game modes played better on them, rush is a very good example of this. BF3 also had a more clear cut class design that made things pretty equal. BF4 had better customization over BF3, and also did away with the notoriously overpowered weapons that plagued BF3 for the longest times *cough cough USAS 12 with frag rounds *cough cough M26 Dart. BF3 definitely beat BF4 in terms of software though, BF4's netcode issues killed that game for so many people, especially with how long it took for them to fix it. I just wish we could have a Battlefield game that would incorporate the best elements of both BF3 and BF4.

[@Itssofla]

Battlefield 3>black ops 2 and 3 there I said it

[@loitersquadX]

I think they were too different, but battlefield 4 was good as well

[@CharismaStrategies]

BF3 and Black Ops 2 are both the two Kings of their individual series for me.

[@J.Wick.]

Couldn't agree more. The hours I put into BF3...Haven't been that into a shooter before, or since. The OG Warzone came close, but still wasn't BF3. IMO, all EA would have to do is "remaster" BF3/BF4 using the BF1 engine, and I for one, would be content.

[@retroloneliness]

I think Battlefield 1 is the best because of the atmosphere

[@leevihalme4615]

Same, I still play it

[@deathwish374]

The class system in 3 was just f*cking perfect ...simple, effective and promoted teamplay

[@AleK0451]

can't believe everyone forgets battlefield 1942 secret weapons of ww2 in the best battlefield equation

[@ReviveHF]

This game is so awesome that EA decided to let the US Marines from BF3 to fight against US Army from BC2 in BF2042.

[@phairecouchpotato3912]

I could come up with 100 reasons why Battlefield 3 IS the best
