Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports).

"Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.


Posting Rules

  • Posts must be directly gaming-related. Thus, "generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission; similarly, reaction GIFs are also not appropriate as submissions.

  • Following Reddiquette is encouraged

  • No "general" URL shorteners (bitly, tinyurl, etc). Single-site URL shorteners (such as youtu.be or fav.me) are allowed.

  • No game or product giveaway of any kind

  • NSFW submissions and comments must be labeled

  • Spoilers can be posted using the following formatting:
    [X Kills Y](/spoiler)
    Result: X Kills Y.

  • To mark a spoiler as relevant to a specific game/topic, use the alternate formatting:
    [Player 1 wins](/spoiler "Pong")
    Result:
    Player 1 wins

  • Report posts containing spoilers not using the above method

  • Don't post users' personal information.

Submission Rules

Is your post not showing up? Do not delete it. Wait 5 minutes to give AutoModerator a chance to look at it; it approves most submissions automatically. If it hasn't shown up after more than 5 minutes, simply message the moderators and ask us to let it through.

Relish it, for you will forever look back at this time with nostalgia.

Look, what makes Battlefield such a rich experience is the control points. Head towards the A and/or B objectives on the screen, and pewpew anyone you see along the way.

Now in the past all you had to do was be in the area to capture the control point. I think that now, some of them are objective based (like, plant the bomb).

I think what separates BF3 from MW more than anything is the environment, the gunplay is pretty similar, but all the foliage in Metro and how the map benefits all gameplay styles is pretty awesome.

You're kidding, right? Battlefield gunplay usually takes place at long distances and involves a bit more precision. CoD is more arcade run-n-gun.

As a long time Call of Duty player, I feel no need to try other fps online for fear of confusion and feeling a traitor...Though other games campaign modes on offer I will happily try....Now for the down-votes on voicing an honest opinion :P

As a long time player of CoD and BFBC2 and now BF3, BF3 is very similar to CoD. I have no idea why you are so challenged, these games are almost identical. BF just has better graphics.
