Should COD players play Battlefield 3?

Alot of my friends are 13 year olds, I am 15. I have been playing Battlefield for alot of time and I enjoy it. All my friends enjoy COD as hell and never ever played a battlefield game before. Should they buy it? I personally think they shouldn't. Their K/D in COD is 0.50 which is terrible. they shouldn't attempt to play battlefield 3. Should they buy battlefield 3?

As Dice have said, K/D ratio is for losers.

Transition is going to be very hard. CoD is a very arcade style shooter, not realistic and full of action. Battlefield is more strategic, possible more difficult and slightly slower paced.

Battlefield is about team work, not about the highest kill. One can have a minuscule k/d ratio and if he helps the team complete a goal, then he should be respected.

they should give it a chance.it wouldnt hurt imo

People who like games with a lot of "pew pew" should buy Battlefield.

You're 15 and your friends are 13? then none of you should be playing either as they both age restricted! its people like you that give the CoD comunity a bad name! (actually, BlOps helped al ot in this)

That is true, but 90% of that community is under the age of 17, so nothing to do about it.

i feel like a grumpy old man, but its the kids that think its funny to go around quick scoping/boosting/cheating etc all for personal glory and not for the sake of winning a team based match. take domination for example. im getting both when they come out so i have a run and gun game, then when i get sufficiently annoyed withMW3 i can switch over to B3. i agre though, there is nothing to be done about it. *rant ends*

The restriction just mean who a game can be sold to,I believe.

Yes they should so when they try to go "lone wolf" they will provide fodder and help me rank up faster

Stuff like that doesn't matter.

Everyone that enjoys FPS games should play BF as well as COD and other FPS.

i guess its a bit of a grey area, especially depending on which country. but take films at the cinemafor instance, they have the same age restrictions, yes? if you are 13 and your mummy bought you a ticket for an 18 rated film, then you are still not legallyallowed to go in and watch it. this surely is the same for DVD's and games at home.

What a child can and can't do in their own home, is different from in a cinema. I'd assume.

Two things

1. Those age restrictions are not restrictions at all but rather recommendations "it is not recommended for you to play this game if you are under 17".
2. Adolecents at the age of 15 and 13 can be more mature than adults at the age of 30. In my WoW guild I was 15, but several members in my guild thought I was 30 until I confirmed my age. Age=/= Maturity.

i guess you both could be right but, like i said, its a bit of a grey area and it all depends on your countries laws

Maturity is defined by how many hardships you can succeed overcoming by using your wits hence molding a strong sense of responsability, but age is sometimes related to maturity because with age you get more experience.

No! get away from my battlefield!!!!

when it comes to this nope, if the likes of the BBFC found you doing this (altho its highly unlikely and rarely enforced) you are still subject to penalty if im not mistaken.In the Uk anway.

Pretty sure PEGI and BBFC ratings here are bound by law now so yup its against the law to supply to a minor just like alcohol minus it has a lot more rules but supplying a minor with enough to get rat assed is a no-no

Last I checked PEGI ratings and the law's involved are strictly for parents. They don't have the power to proescute a parents who purchases the game for a child, or even have the power to confiscate a game if the child is seen with it, without a parents.

All they can do is, as youve said make sure retailers abide by it.

When both PEGI and BBFC were used, i believe PEGI wasn't inforced as a lawm but used as a guidline, as opposed to BBFC, which was a law the stores had to abide by. Since 2010 PEGI has become law, and now stores have to abide by that, parents however can do as they please.

I hate that. Especially on games like Goldeneye, where you aren't just playing Team Deathmatch and you try and complete an objective and no else is actually doing it, so you just get sniped everytime you get close.

battlefield no it is so boring and the game is very long and the maps are very bigowenconnor12

Typical CoD fanboy. Also, don't necro old threads.
