I say definitely yes . I never played either of the first two you played . I played a little BF 3 and a bunch of BF 4 . I honestly didn ' t like those at all . It was probably more that I felt I sucked and couldn ' t get anything going . It wasn ' t until BF Hardline that I really got much better and could do well running with a squad . I hated playing BF 4 and feeling like I could killed by any gun at almost any distance and it was super frustrating . This game is so much fun and I ' ve found that I can actually do well in this . My buddy loved BF 3 and BF 4 , but he ' s been struggling to get a hang of it . I feel like the weapons are fairly balanced with the distances they are effective at . minus a few weapons that are far better than others in their respective classes It ' s worth the buy , especially if you can get it for cheaper than the original price but I feel that I ' m already getting my fun out of it after about a month .
