With the ongoing fanatical debates around the net I am going to list off my own reasons and explanations as to why Battlefield 3 is better than any Call of Duty game, and always will be.

Reason  #1 - Vehicles:

Yes, I know vehicles are not anything new to FPS games. But its apparently something that the creators of the Call of Duty series refuse to implement in their games, for...god knows why. The pure satisfaction of hopping into a jet or a tank or a jeep or quad or what have you is already a step above what Call of Duty has to offer. You can run people over. You can parachute out of choppers and jets. Tanks can topple buildings and trees. In Call of Duty, it happens more like this: "Sweet I killed 9 guys in a row, now I can control the gunner in a chopper I don't get to control, see through walls and get about 8-10 free kills super cheap-like!" Congratulations you got 9 kills in a row, now here's 10 more for free? Granted it feels good, but you know the whole time, how god damn cheap it is. Yes you do. Don't lie.



Reason #2 - Destructible Environment:

You know when your running around in COD with your plastic looking rocket launcher, and you see someone run behind a wall? For some reason, you fire at that thin, sad looking wall, expecting to see that oh so sweet flutter of points in the center of your screen displaying the sad, usually retarded name of your enemy and his sweet demise? You know that guy, who's name is probably similar to "deeznuts_bluntweedsmoker420_420iPWN00bzbluntz_420fosho". For some reason, the rocket explosion does not kill your foe. "WTF!" You proclaim, followed by 'That's bullshit!". The fucking explosion of a rocket fails to kill your foe through a thin wall. That doesn't happen in Battlefield. In battlefield the rocket blows the wall away, and has a pretty good chance of damaging and even killing the enemy. Oh, and tanks can blow the walls away too. Sometimes the buildings, if they take enough damage, can completely crumble to the ground. Top that COD.

Reason #3 - Dynamic Game play:

One of the best things about Battlefield 3, is the dynamic game play. You can never play a map the same way. The same things can happen, but strategy changes completely for each type of game mode and map. All COD has in their maps is new places to camp, and maybe a mounted gun here and there. The problem with COD and camping is their maps are too small, and if they have larger maps, camping spots are usually horded with camping snipers with overpowered sniper rifles. With vehicles in the fray, players are having to constantly change the way they are approaching certain situations, based on what loadouts they are using and also what loadouts squadmates are using.


Reason #4 - Knives:

The biggest pet peeve I have with COD is the knife melee. One swipe of a knife can kill a good seasoned soldier? I don't effing' think so. I mean, you don't even make a stabbing motion. You just swipe a knife and bam. Instantly dead. The worst offender of this knifing plague is in COD: MW2. There is a perk that allows your melee range to increase! Therefore you can kill someone with knife from like, 10 feet away! WHAT?! Many curse words followed in many of rounds in COD:MW2 due to this wretched "perk". Might as well have called it the knife cheat. In battlefield, you actually pull out your knife, grab your opponent, and stab them, and then pull your knife out. You cant just run around and magically swipe someone with your knife and expect a win. You actually, you know, have to earn your kills in battlefield. Crazy, huh?



Reason #5 - Crazy factor:

People like to argue BF is better then COD because its "more realistic". Nay nay, I say, for it is not. And that is one of the reasons I love BF. You can hop into a jet, have another jet chase after you, fly up, jump out, shoot a rocket at the jet on your tail, blowing it up, then parachute into a tank or jeep below. There are so many insane possiblities in the game that cause many instances of the game to be completley unique, or things that happen that, you just can't repeat. I highly suggest playing on PC, with some sort of recording program, so you can capture those "battlefield moments", and show them to your friends and the all loving battlefield community.
