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.

Nobody talks about the art aesthetic they went with, the fonts and everything, it was just oozing awesomeness, as a 12 yo kid, I was obsessed with BF3 even though my PC could'nt run it. I was only able to play it in 2015.

[@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...

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]

[@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.

[@donkeylord0072]

My first bf was bf3 had a lot of hours on the ps3

[@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.

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...

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.

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. Was 2142 frustrating at times for various reasons, like gunplay+hit registration? Absolutely. Was Titan mode the greatest video game FPS mode I've ever played in like 20 years? Yes. And it's not even close.

What can I say, I bought a gaming laptop in 2012 just to play battlefield 3. How much was a breakthrough, technological, interesting and cool game in its time! I spent about 500 hours in it and remembering these moments, I will say that I do not regret a minute of the time spent! For me, it will remain the best in the series, I hope 2042 will still surpass my favorite battlefield 3!

[@moondub5717]

The last sentence aged like milk.

[@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.

[@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.

[@RoyAlWhicheez]

I've been playing since 1942 and can honestly say I've had a ton of fun with each BF. Of course some more than others but they each had their own charm. It's a game that makes you feel like you're part of something bigger while most FPS just feel like everyone is Rambo.

[@MehdiGamingHQ]

Bad company 2 was the best for me followed by 3

[@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

[@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.

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

By the way Battlefield Heroes was just perfect and so ahead of its time and even tho you cant compare it much with BF3 or BF4, in its own way it might have been even better than both of them.

[@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

[@jameyburnett2699]

Suppression was such a huge importance to the game. Most players did not understand it. Being suppressed made your weapon kick more. The gun playing the game was top notch 10 out of 10. The guns just weren't bullet hoses.

After all these years and with how games are made now without players in mind, I am just happy that I got to have these memories from BF3. Emotional moments during my teens where a night up at 2am on Damavand was where I wanted to be. I understand why we want what we had, but a masterpiece like BF3 was a once in a lifetime achievement. 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.

Had more fun with BF3 than all the others. Don't know if it is better objectively. But I did notice the maps from later games left alot to be desired. Although if I never play nosharh canals again it will be too soon. i used every class extensively but by the end i knew the maps and the weapons sounds so well i would play defender with support everytime. if you knew your spots, 1 lmg with a bipod could shift the entire match (the maps were good enough that those spots were variable) also, i could tell where a player was, who they were, and where they were going just from hearing what they were shooting once or twice. some people had to have been pissed when they thought they had found a totally abandoned area of the map to infiltrate from and 1 second later theyre getting shot in the back of the head with a pistol.

BF1 was a cinematic masterpiece that really just put you in the shoes of a terrified conscript in the First World War. A lot of design decisions I wasn’t a fan of, but I’ll be damned if it’s not fun to revisit sometimes just for the sheerly oppressive atmosphere of war.

[@Aiden-hd8hw]

True

[@JohyeahM]

I agree with every point here, and I think you covered them all too.

[@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

[@syminite1]

I remember this KILLING Mw3 back then. Bf3 was also the last time the legendary Sks br was truly powerful.

[@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

[@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.

Battlefield 3 is the first Battlefield game I played, it was a long time ago and I wasn't familiar with Battlefield, when I played the campaign I was so impressed sadly I didn't finish it because it was so real I felt nauseous.

[@zakhaevshub4735]

The first Battlefield that I play, the campaign is superb, and the multiplayer really fun although back then I'm used to MW2 and struggle a lot 😂

[@ericmorales5395]

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

[@8minato]

I completely forgot about coop on bf3 boy I had so much fun with that.

[@AK-hi7mg]

I'm the person who started with battlefield Vietnam and BF 2 and skipped BFBC2 and BF3 to come back to BF4 . I have played BF3 and BFBC2 since then on gamepass and I agree about the map design . My favourite is probably still battlefield Vietnam

[@wallie1994]

Bonking people with the drone was the best. Worst thing I’ve enjoyed to do in a MP game

[@AaronSampsonMedia]

No regrets, lol.

[@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.

[@zachsnightmare]

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

[@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

[@ricsavage99]

Nah beat battlefield game I’ve played was bad company 2. Honestly it’s the best FPS I’ve ever played

[@MojoMicah]

I wish I could say it was bf4, but I'm a console gamer and the game is only 720p even on the xbonex. Wished we kept the modern vibe, but then we got that trainwreck called hardline. Bf1 is my favorite battlefield

[@DefinitelyNotBender]

1. It isn't the best 2. It isn't the best 3. It isn't the best 4. It isn't the best 5. It isn't the best 6. It isn't the best 7. It isn't the best 8. It isn't the best 9. Bad Company 2 was the Best! 💯

[@appletree5955]

That theme song is in battlefield 2042 With a few tweaks if you listen to it closer

[@levijonathansix]

I've been a BF fan since BF2 but back when I played on console I had at least 3000 hours in BF3. It is the paragon of mutiplayer FPS games. It's just a timeless game that looks and plays great back then and even today. BF4 is a good game but it didn't expand on 3 in any meaningful way. The weapon catalog got larger but each one lacked distinction and heft. I remember a big difference between MW3 and BF3 is the guns in BF3 had a nice heft and good bass behind them but in 4 almost every gun sounds dull and peppery and the gunplay seems to be missing.. something. I distinctly remember playing the BF3 Beta and noting how each gun had it's pros and cons but that each felt powerful and useful in their own context but when I played BF4 the weapons all felt weak and homogeneous. The time to kill (TTK) is also slower in BF4 and just makes the guns feel as weak as they sound. The maps in BF4 had a lot in them but the environments lacked detail or purpose and the layouts were HORRIBLE. I can tell you about almost every map from BF2, BFBC1, BFBC2, BF1943, BF3, BF1 and yes, even some from BFV but I can only think of Paracel Storm and Siege of Shanghai from BF4. They have a worse version of Operation Metro which I can't recall the name of (Locker?), and Paracel Storm just feels like a worse Wake Island. Many of the maps harken back to better designed maps from the past which is a bad thing in my opinion and clearly the devs thought so too because several expansions were dedicated to BF3 maps and classics like Caspian Border and Operation Firestorm or the maps that the BF4 maps were trying to mimic like Wake Island and Operation Metro which ended up overtaking their knock-off counterpart in server popularity. In the end it seems like devs paid too much attention to Levelution which made the maps worse after the cool cinematic setpiece occurred and less attention on the fun and cohesion of the map. It was like a marketing gimmick gone too far. Cool to show in a trailer, sure, but ultimately not great from a gameplay design standpoint. Having been in the top 100 players for aerial vehicles kills on Xbox360, I can safely say the vehicles lacked finesse and the specializations/ upgrades were too strong in BF4 which is a problem that plagues BF games to this day but especially because in BF4 the environment details were so poor in the City-based maps where as an infantry you feel powerless even as a coordinated squad because you stick out against the backdrop. There are no opportunities for ambushes especially because half the buildings are dummy buildings you can't go into and the whole city-scape is a polygonal grey blob. Going against tanks as infantry was a nightmare with the Active Protection which not only enabled tanks to negate damage entirely, but also allowed them to scurry away from combat and reposition entirely unscathed. Coupled with the fact that all vehicles were incredibly fast, namely the jets and tanks, it was almost a necessity to have an equally skilled pilot or tank engineer to destroy vehicles. BF1 and BFV have some similar issues but BF4 was far and away the worst. I know BF4 has a lot of hype returning to it because 2042 is it's sequel and I know many people had their first experiences on BF4 but it is an inferior game to BF3 from an objective standpoint in many ways.

[@g.gibson7255]

I started in B4 and I liked and missed it when B1 came out. But I did play more on B1.

[@majinvegeta9280]

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

[@peeepeeepooopooo]

very solid video

[@Kevin-iy2rq]

Would be nice if BF5 was mentioned more and how it compares. Personally I haven't played it a lot because I just couldn't get into it. Also BF1 or 2142 could have been mentioned, even though it's in a different era.

[@clubvillain]

I vividly still remember playing BF3 Beta.

[@siriusshabazz7746]

BF3 was the GOAT, and I played on the buggy 30fps 24 player count PS3, and loved every moment.

[@H56Nooc]

You make a good point about the spawning but I felt the drag of getting shot in the back in 3 and 4 pretty evenly in my experience. I'm just bad tho probably.
