Battlefield 3 or Black Ops II

[The Kid 24]

Damn I'm torn... I wanna get my brother a shooter for Christmas but not sure which one to get.

Battlefield 3 Premium Edition or Black Ops II

Fellas... I need some help!

I think the campaign is better in Black Ops II but to me Battlefield blows the other out of the water online. Just my opinion but I still do not understand the attraction for Black Ops online over BF3.

How old is your brother? Would he prefer more strategy and a slower pace or would he want something that is run and gun and constant action?

If he's like my brother and just wants to run around shooting things get him Black Ops 2. If he wants to take his time and have a more strategic and teamwork approach get him BF3.

300 hours tied up into Battlefield 3. I have to say, It's one of the best multiplayer/military and shooter games I have played.

There's something for everyone. There's the Armored Kill maps for those who love the huge and wide open maps to play on. There's the Close Quarters maps that are great for constant action and objective. Then there are the original and Back to Karkand maps that are a mix of both.

There's also more DLC coming with the premium. The Campaign is fun, but it's not mind-blowing really. There's a healthy mix of vehicle and infantry warfare and you face some different obstacles along the way.

I'm taking a break from it and playing Black Ops II now. It's a fun game, but nothing gronudbreaking. You get alot of what you usually get with a Call of Duty title, but they did change some things that make it more enjoyable. The Campaign is better than Battlefield 3 and the multiplayer is very addictive.

Does your brother have anyone to play Battlefield 3 with. It's a great game, but it only excels when you're playing it with a few friends. When the game first came out and through the better part of a year, we had 20+ OSers available to play and some nights we couldn't even get everyone in on one team. Those clan matches and just random matches were some of the most fun I have ever had with a shooter, online. It's amazing how well I know some of the guys on here, just because the time we spent on the "Battlefield".

If he's going to be playing by himself, he may have a better time with Call of Duty..

Also, FWIW.. Black Ops II may be the best of any Call of Duty, including the Infinity Ward games, since COD4.

I would go with BF3 then.

BF3

Plus they are still adding to an already great game.

Hell I might finally get BF3 Premium for the PC today as it's 50 percent off on every platform on Origin right now.
