Why Battlefield?

Why play battlefield, or any other game, for it's multiplayer function for that matter.

I am going to run you through my typical battlefield spawn in multiplayer

1. I spawn in after being sniped
2. I run about 45 feet in any direction before realizing that I am nowhere near a foe and I decided to spawn in with a shotgun
3. I find a corner to sit in with a motion detector and my shotgun (It's not camping, it's tactical waiting)
4. Someone uses the noob-tube (or pro-pipe) and now suddenly I have no wall left to hide behind.
5. I run out and start firing my shotgun and finally kill someone. 
6. A second for just managed to spawn on the person I was fighting, usually I get to kill them too
7. The sniper from earlier has found me again and lays my brains out on the battlefield
8. 8 go to 1

Now this is me in single player 

1. I load the game and watch a cut scene
2. The game picked my weapons for me for the most part so I can be assured they are going to be ok for the coming encounter.
3. I kill hundreds of people for some reason I don't understand
4. I die because I didn't see the neon orange grenade warning light. 
5. But I hit a checkpoint just a second ago, so I guess lesson learned.
6. I beat the mission
7. 7 go to 1 until the credits roll.

That being said how can example 1 be more fun than example 2? The answer is very simple, if in my spawn I used the noob-tube to kill three assholes on top of a crane and killed their spawner too. I ruined the match for them, because now they know I know they got up there, and I know that they -don't- know that I am going to wait for them to go back. You fall into a pattern, throw on the headset and try and interact with the smarter of your squad, kill the people who are on the parts of the map that should be inaccessible, hop into the AA gun and kill the chopper that's killing all of your vehicles before you can use them. Get into your liberated vehicles and go and do it to them while four or five smarter players in the match fight for the control points (If it a C.Q. Match) win or lose, look at your accolades and wait 30 seconds to do it again. 

I am not in any way saying that I am good at Battlefield 3, or halo or mass effect, but I enjoy them, and sometimes that is so much better.
