I'm really not able to decide which one to get, I don't plan on overclocking no matter what. and am definitely not getting any other card except one of these. I'll be playing Planetside 2 a shit ton, but will also be playing Battlefield 3-4 to. My question is which one should I get and why? I also want to play on the highest settings I can go with these cards.

Like he said. The R9 27x is much newer than the 7870, and therefore is much faster.

Yeah, R9 270x is faster.

Newer doesn't always mean faster. E.g. the HD 7870 is much newer than the HD 5970, but it's much slower anyway.
