Battlefield 3 vs Counter-Strike
Battlefield 3
Battlefield 3 is the sequel where EA games truly opt to focus on enhancing its multiplayer gameplay rather than trying to go the route of Counter Strike or Call of Duty. Here, you have complete and total freedom to fight the way you like. There are nine massive multiplayer maps of varying terrains for you to battle in, a wide variety of vehicles, weapons and gadgets to improve you combat capability, as well as a ton of unlockables.The most interesting part of this installment though is that there are now four unique player classes, namely Assault, Engineer, Support and Recon. Each of these classes have their own roles to play in the team and only by working together will the team be able to achieve victory.
Due to the classes, Battlefield 3 may feel a bit restricted to some players, but in a way, it's good because at least players will know which role they need to play as opposed to trying to do everything at once. It's a nice change and if you think so as well, you might want to give the game a try.
Counter-Strike
Counter-Strike is one of the the pioneers of the team-based multiplayer, action-shooter game genre and it is thanks to these games that we now have games like Combat Arms or even Blacklight. That said, you probably have heard of Counter-Strike so I'll keep this simple. The game places you into a team - either as Terrorists or Counter-Terrorists - before the match and your team will be given an objective to do, be it taking out enemy sites, rescue hostages or simply taking out the other team. For the "vanilla" version of Counter-Strike, the multiplayer community is pretty nice overall and definitely not as toxic as in the latest installment.However, the graphics can be rather painfully outdated in this game. So, unless you are feeling nostalgic or if you don't really mind old graphics, then Counter-Strike might just be the game for you.
