Before you guys exit out of this discussion thinking its another BF3 noob just read on. I was wondering if you guys were disappointed with BF3 because personally I think it was a waste of $60. I have already returned it and I only had it for 3 days! The problem for me was the multiplayer, I just didn't enjoy it as much as COD. I am wondering what you guys think about BF3 compared to what you think Modern Warfare 3 is going to be like or unless you read this after it came out.
BF3= Quality title
MW3= Cash cow
............?![]()
If anyones the Cash Cow its EA
Activision didnt ask for COD to be this successful..COD did this on its own as far as you saying Infinity Ward is the Cash cows.. You say that because the game looks the same. It is stupid to change what already works fine.
Online Passes?
Releasing an half done game to try to beat COD?
Stunt on COD name like they better than when the sell numbers come they say they love COD?
DO I NEED TO GO ON?
Im not protecting anyone its a buisness but cmon be realistic now.
This.
don't forget they already announced their first DLC and needed Origin for BF3

Not only did you just spout the most foolish things, but seeing as how EA is trying to remove the "Evil Empire" status as Activision has been stamped as one since MW2's pre-release when Kotick simply said consumers would "...buy anything; Just repackage the goods and repeat", it makes me shake my head.
If BF3 is a half finished game, then BO is a quarter of BF3's progress. Anyone on PS3 would understand that. At least EA doesn't favor to one side of their community, threaten to pull the plug for their PS3 players because of their complaints of the servers failing for months, rush their developers to make ends meet, or release $15 map packs that only hold five small-medium sized maps (Yet, the Vietnam Package for BC2 was practically a whole new game!). The closest thing Activision probably allowed and was a nice addition is the CoD Elite.
Sell numbers don't prove anything, but popularity.
Don't go on. You speak gibberish.
WOW im sorry I offended you fanboy but the game is incomplete.
They are still adding features and fixing stuff that already should have been in game .(Private Matches, Squad issues, Mic problems, etc)
COD never releases big huge maps like BF does and it never will. It has nothing to do with money. If you think COD is expensive go play HALO and tell me how you like them map packs? Black Ops is 3arc game NOT I.W and it still has problems to this day for Ps3 for whatever reason. The Vietnam Package was nice but it was not a whole new game. It was just different maps..Yet your in vehicles most of the time so map structure is not very important anyway. Its only important if your objectives are in the wrong position.
They never released the same game for COD and they are all the basic COD games but the feel is totally different.
COD4 was nothing like Mw2 but it did have a little fill in it that COD4 did.
W@W is a whole different game.
Mw2 has similar graphics but the overall gameplay and mechanics are different. So if anything this is the closest to the same game we have ever seen in COD.
Activision has no controll over what the developers decide to do with they game. They are just the publishers that have a 2 year contract with both developers to do.
Maybe to you it looks like they are money hungry but 2 year releases is a nice amount of time for a company to release content. Im not saying Activision is good or bad im just saying that they is still a business..

1. Very true, the Vietnam is just different maps, with different vehicles, different guns but still same gameplay. No new feature (from my knowledge) is added
2. Absolutely! If you play CoD4 you'l notice that the game itself fells different
3. Trudat. Vehicles FTW
4. Similar but different
5. Similar to the theory of a Publisher cant control an author from doing a certain book (unless for inspection)

I can respect both games for what they bring to the table. But I have to go with the faster action of COD every time.
Yes, creating this kind of thread dumbass paves the way for retarded fanboys like this guy. Well done on starting a another flame war skirmish between the games.

If bf3 was a one of a kind game, I'd play it more often. But as long as there is cod, bf3 won't be the go-to game often. Quality game, but it's like 2k over live (basketball)
My problem is when COD player try to play BF and expect it to be the same, or when BF players do the same with COD.
I played the Beta never playing BF, but I had already played a couple of COD games. I loved it, it was different and it reminded me of C&C Renegade.
I've played a little bit of multiplayer since the campaign on my roommate's disc, and during Christmas I will buy BF3.
BF3 was good, and I'm sure MW3 will be good too. They're not in a contest with me, especially since I'mma Gears fanboy ![]()
BF and COD are 2 completely different games. It's like comparing Mass effect to final fantasy because they are both RPG's.
Most people who go into Battlefield looking to play another COD usually end up hating it.
bf3 is painful to lvl up, the unlocks do not feel rewarding by any means, camping is pretty bad also. i do enjoy the change of pace but yes the novelty is wearing off. i mean its getting stale quickly. i havent had any of the major issues ppl are complaining about (lag, lost cnnt etc) and it still seems to be losing my interest. HOWEVER u cannot tell me that the audio isnt stellar, the audio is where this game shines i honestly wish mw3 would have this audio. i wear triton ax 720s and **** sounds like its blowing up in my yard. but alas the audio cannot save this game
it's just a different type of game. i like it myself. if i play enough and get used to it, who knows, it might become my favorite. there's a lot to learn, most of all...it need to learn how to compensate for bullet trajectories at long range. it's a more realistic game, but that doesn't mean it's more fun. if we're talking realism...then even a bullet in some appendage is gonna hurt and affect you. so, not even bf3 is that real.
@davidlsofferman: it's a cash cow for a reason. bf's good in it's own way. the mere fact that you're even trying to say one is better than the other without rhyme or reason says more about u than the games themselves. they're both quality titles...completely different games though...and one is a cash cow for a reason. please, stop making yourself look stupid with something that is essential a tweet, a burp, or demonstrating that you just have tourettes syndrome by just speaking your mind. *****.
@kuronico: i have both series and have been playing them for a while. i'm just partial to the cod series. for me, the gameplay is just a bit faster. i like it...doesn't mean i'm 12 years old like some people like to say to demean cod...i just like it more. cod requires strategy and tactics...but, groups just have to formulate and excute them faster...like in real life

Please tell me where I said "MW3>BF3 or BF3> MW3". And you're telling me I'm making myself look stupid. P.S Make sure you use something called Grammar before you tell someone else they are making themselves look stupid.
that's easy.
"BF3= Quality title
MW3= Cash cow"
grammar, spelling, comprehension...so long as u understand (which you apprently still don't). let's dissect what you've said. mw3 = cash cow. now, did you mean that in a good way?
but, more importantly...you said that bf3 is a "quality title"...that also implies the opposite...that mw3 isn't a "quality title". if you add the two things you said together...you were obviously saying something negative about mw3.
i could misspell, use grammear in all sorts of wrong ways...but, if you don't understand...that's more on you for not figuring it out on your own than me. a lot of people make mistakes and a lot of people figure things out and understand. those that call others out on "technicalities" rather than something substantial, like what is being said, look more stupid/foolish. you demonstrate you're foolish by ignoring what is being said...you also demonstrate you're stupid by not understanding (making corrections or just figuring things out) in the first palce.
All I can say about BF3 is that it is one hell of a grind. ![]()
Gameplay
BF3 = Co-operative style with slow paced action
MW3 = Lone wolf style with ultra fast pace action 19/20 times when in game
Players
BF3 = Campers, vehicle rushers/campers and team player
MW3 = KD whore, dropshotters with tryhard pants and casual players playing for fun
Online community
BF3 = Tactics video, troll and flammers, and jihadi mobile
MW3 = Trickshots, hiding tactics and complainers
I prefer CoD since i get SUPER frustrated with BF3 even when i get a 4+ kdr
(which i die to BS reasons)
The games are two completely differnt things. From different companys, different styles..
They just can't be compared they way people think they can. It's like trying to compare a car with a truck... Both do pretty much the same thing (get you to a - b). Sure their specs are different. But still there completely different.
I love BF3, but must confess i'm already bored with it
Don't know why, BFBC2 always had my interest, BF3 isn't keepig it at all
I got bored too by now :/
Alot of people are saying the 2 games are differnet, well i disagree, They are both shooters, they both employ some type of tactical thoughtprocess when playing. Both have nearly the same Online Mulitplayer game modes and alot of the same weapons. SO all that being yes they are a competing product like Mcdonalds and Burger King. Does BF do some things better im sure they do, does MW do things better then BF sure they do.. What it really boils down to i think is what the gamer is looking for.
I was a die hard BF BC1 fan, Loved the game still own it today, BC2 came out and it was ok not as good at BC1. BF3 came out after playing an early release (not alpha or beta) it was a real letdown, i had expected more or if nothing else to put things back that worked and stop trying to "improve" things that dont need it.
COD had a great game when MW was released, the mechanics were insane for the time, and the flow of the player/shooter was impressive for a game of this type. MW2 i do think improved on some things like the ranking system and perk systems but left the overall flow and multiplayer experience alone. BO was well BO and people either liked or hated it.. it did fill the void nicely. MW3 i truly hope they will leave the game mechanics alone and do what they havce done in the past which is improve the weapons ranking and perk systems. The rest is great leave it as it is.
If its not broke dont fix it..
All that being said this is a COD forum if you want to talk about BF go to thier forums LOL.
BF3 Most definetly pales in comparison. JRB Whoop Whoop!
ill have to say mw3. i say it because i never really played battlefield as much untill now.
BF3 is a clear winner for me, bored of MW3 after a day due to the poor maps makes every game the same.
Not bored of BF3 yet, in fact I would say it is one of the reasons MW3 got boring so quick.
All I can say is stick with BF3, it punishes beginners, but once you have unlocked some decent weapons etc it is very good.
Playing Skyrim at the moment, you need plenty of time for that game......
yes yes and yes. unlike COD where its just FMG9s and Strikers everytime I get on, BF3 always has something new - sniped from 200miles away, shot out of a helicopter and hijacked in mid-air, or straffing 5 dudes in that Growler/Warthog jeep - s*** is always keeping fresh.
so much you can do man. except of course play a quickmatch w/ friends (I dont understand that?!?)
also yes, I'm definitely busy w/ skyrim right now - sick nasty
There's just something very personal about creeping up behind an enemy and ripping his dogtag's off while plunging a knife into his chest - it's a real shame you haven't got a list of them like you did in BFBC2.
And the tank equivilent C4......
So who's the dumbass who had to bring back this awful thread? I mean seriously like there ain't enough of these garbage collecting threads? Dammit I miss the good ol' OT.
OT is the mods bin for threads that don't fit anywhere else, it's always been like that.
Um no, it hasn't. When you've been here for over 2 years then you can get back to me and others on that.

You just don't understand the "OT" yet.
Everything is pretend land. Don't take it too serious. Some have and never returned from the flak that happened.
I know, I let myself get trolled, I'm going to stand in the "OT" corner....
I really want to say BF3. ![]()
Well BF3.
I have played MW3 on my firends PS3 and there was pretty horrible balance issues and spawns. Also the PC versions is total failure on what I have heard.
But I really havent played BF3 for a long time it just got boring, I have went back to Black Ops.
I thought BF3 was ok, but I think I'll stick with MW3. Though I'm playing BF3 at the moment to see how many of the Trophies I can get.
BF3 is better.
its just an overall better quality game. And I'll be honest, MW3 was a let down.
P.S. first post on this CoD forum. Came over from another CoD forum though.
