BF3 !!!

I'd say that BC2 has better balance, but BF3 has the larger community. There are some things in BF3 which i hate to the bone, like for instance, lack of reason to use iron sights, or that AEK-971 and M16A3 wins pretty much any standoff.

BC2 is far greater in some areas. But the actual gunplay in BF3 is miles ahead of any other game in the series. BC2 had better themed and designed maps though

I think Bad Company 2 was a better game. The shooting is easy to understand and master in Bad Company. The gunplay in Battlefield 3 just feels so random and weird to me.
Also jets are dumb and control horribly.

The guns control in BF3 is actually something that requires learning and skill to counteract. BC2 it was just point and shoot more akin to CoD. BF3 has the best recoiling weapons in any game. Every gun handles differently

Now Playing: Planetside 2 (PC)
BF3 is a more polished, more refined version of BC2's mulitplayer.
If you include all of the expansions, BF3 has way better maps now. I can't say that about the vanilla game though. There are only 2-3 maps worth playing in vanilla.

BF3 is the far better game. The one edge BFBC2 has is class balance. Its was a lot better in that game. But every other aspect from map design (premium member), to gun play, to fidelity (both visual and audio) is vastly superior to Bad Company 2.

BC2 is not even in the same league as BF3
BF3's shooting mechanics, client side hit detection, and netcode is miles ahead of BC2's.
The shooting is always consistent, while BC2 doesn't have hit detection.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

[/QUOTE] this. bc2's hit detection is the worst i've seen in any game. i had to quit right as i hit level 50 because of how frustrating it was.

It still needs a bit of work but yeah it's miles ahead of BC2's. Side strafe shooting was impossible in BC2

Side strafing is still inconsistant with a LOT of the guns even some of the assault rifles and carbines. Only the pdws and bulpups are consistant.
I will say this. Suppression is incredibly flawed and pisses me off regularly. I still like the concept and some of the execution but things NEED to change with BF4.

Suppression is a good idea but it was horribly implemented. And has never been right since that infamous suppression pacth where it made shooting impossible.
I don't know how to remedy it myself but I'm sure there is a better way to add it to BF4

Bad Company 2, it actually felt lke you were playing as part of a team rather than a bunch of individuals running around doing their own thing. I also liked the damage model better in BC 2, I actually knew how many shots would drop someone in a duel, rather than in BF3 where due to the crazy hit reg you might get seemingly 1-shotted when it looks to the other person like they have been shooting you all day.

I'd say use guns that have very little recoil at first to get used to the tactics of the game so you can later concentrate on getting better with a variety of guns.
Go for the G36C, SKS, P90, and M5K. Those guns are very forgiving as far as recoil is concerned. They also can maintain a degree of accuracy when you're under suppresion.
