    Battlefield 3 with Return to Karkand Maps. The closest return for DICE to BF2 Gameplay.

    Battlefield 3 with vanilla maps does feel like Bad Company 2.5 but B2K maps with 7 flags and map design that can actually take 64 players without getting cramped wins my vote.

    BF3 for sure. It does everything that BFBC2 did right, just better, and fixes a lot of things that were wrong. It's a much better game overall.

    Bf3 , since they fixed a lots of bugs in previous patch & Karkand map are awesome in 64 players.

    I love how Snipers have scope reflection , so you know where enemy came from , not like bfbc2 the sniper able to camp @ same spot without knowing where they are after killing you million of times.

    This doesn't mean that BF3 doesn't have a lot of room for improvement. I do like the scope glint, but it's just too bright. I mean even in night maps you can see it like it's a flashlight.

    But what if the sniper is using ACOG? :3
    It does limit my range so i cannot go as far as 12x scope but just attach a silencer and grab some kills.

    Battlefield 3 in every aspect. Bad Company 2 is a great game and I loved playing it when I bought it on release day. BF3 feels so much better and less cartoony. Also the weapons are better and the return of jets is fantastic. 64 players on PC and the Back to Karkand expansion make it even better. No doubt visuals are better but if both games looked the same I'll still stick with BF3. BF2 is my favorite from the series though.

    Hmm, I disagree with most people here. BFBC2 is certainly more fun to me, even though BF3 has made improvements in design.
