Battlefield 3: Made by E3 and Dice,


Project worked with Frostbite v2.0
Stunning graphics and unique gameplay
Highly difficult to get used to the system it you played Call of Duty before.
K/D ratios? Nope. All about teamwork, and without it, your team is screwed.
Realistic Battlefield simulator. Bullet drop, Gravity, Buildings can be blown up.
Vehicles you can drive in, Jets/Helicopter requires skill to drive.
Not compatible with Windows XP and Directx 9.
Worked definetly for more then 3 years.
Coming out this October

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Modern Warfare 3: Made by Infinity Ward

Project just remade with MW2 engine
No improved graphics and repetitive gameplay
Less difficult if you played Battlefield before
Everything depends on your Kill/Death ratios. And you can be a one man game changer.
One-man army simulator. (Highly illogical also) Barely any bullet drop, Zero gravity for rockets and bullets, you can camp inside buildings.
Chopper gunner/ AC130/ Gunship as Killstreaks, which also can change a game really quickly.
Compatible with XP and Directx 9
Worked and made in one year.
Coming out this october.

Pick your poison.

I'd pick Battlefield 3, for several reasons

1. Battlefield's multiplayer has a lot more strategy and isn't about running and gunning, it's about teamwork.
I remember the most effective team is the "Blackhawk" team, where there're two medics, one engineer, one supporter, and one Spec Ops (dropping C4's)
I was a little worried about the Single Player aspect of Battlefield taking over the Multiplayer, as Multiplayer is where battlefield shines the most. Luckily, the Caspian Border proves otherwise.

2. I'm a PC gamer, and Battlefield 3 is more of a PC game than MW3 is.

3. IIRC, Battlefield 3's maps are gonna be all over the recognizable world.. As in there'll be areas in Paris or London or something. This adds that much of an effect to the game.

But i'd probably do what I did with Battlefield 2.. Download the Demo and Play only that lol..

Battlefield 3. Among other reasons, superior multiplayer.

You do realize that Modern Warfare 2 looked JUST like CoD4 before they completely redid everything right? Hell even Black Ops looked like MW2 before they changed everything.

Im getting fucking tired of Battlefield fanboys using that as a reason for bashing. Battlefield is also REPETITIVE game play to the genre. You look at things and shoot at them, just like any other FPS. Also it looks like children are making it because they curse three or four times every sentence.

Ill take my MW3 kthxbai. Zakhaev and Makarov makes the story such a good one.

1: I did not mention that I am a battlefield fanboy, I just said pick your choice, not duke it out.
2: Thank you for bashing me when I was summarizing just everything. I'm not doing this in my opinion, I'm just putting what the facts are.
3: I respect your decision, btw, I'm getting both. Just wondering from people's choices of what I should buy first.
4: And some people described it that way, but the thing is, Graphics don't really matter also, most counts on the gameplay.
5: Call of duty and Battlefield have horrible storyline compared to other FPS, such as Borderlands, FEAR, etc.
6: And finally, Repetitive is the same for Call of Duty, you look at things and shoot at them, same as other FPS also.

MW3 looks boring as hell, and I'd definitely pick BF3, but I know that every guy in my school is going to get CoD so I'll probably end up getting that. Also, I'm a little bit curious to see what happens to Makarov. I still can't believe Ghost and Roach died! >:(

Not once did I state you were a fanboy. Only that I cant stand it when I go everywhere, and theres a few thousand downvotes by BF players that make moot points.

And AC130 and Chopper gunner killstreaks are pub stomp tools anyway. I always bring a stinger for them, and Cold Blooded so im not detected, just like everyone else in Hardcore :P

Heh, BF2 was worse with Pub Stomp tools, Jets and Helis are so complicated to pubs, yet they can annihilate the pubs so easily. And unlucky for pubs, there was no homing missiles that locked onto the vehicle in a quick second.
I'm not a FPS fanboy, but I am a Fighting game Fanboy,

I watch these videos over and over to see if I can recreate it.
And it's because of fighting games that I am able to survive in a Arena map like We Are Friend and This is Anime for a long time.
I used to destroy every my friends in fighting games, then they repay the favor with FPS's.

@Riney

Haha I was watching the second BF3 video you posted and your avatar was running exactly with the music :D

But I agree with Oh_Man, I will be purchasing both, just because they are both awesome. (BF3 more so, but all my friends play COD)

Dont get me wrong, I might be getting both myself, but MW3 is on my list of games to get definitely.

I'm going with BF3, seeing as I've been playing quite a bit BFBC2 during the last year or so and I really enjoy it. The fact that they're also bringing back airplanes and stuff like that sounds good too (I used to play BF1942/Desert Combat vs bots many years ago :P). The only thing that annoys me is that it's not going to be released on Steam (gtfo Origins!).
When it comes to the CoD series I kinda lost interest after CoD4, mostly due to the matchmaking system in MW2 for PC. When Black Ops arrived I didn't really bother looking at it, but I tested it during a free weekend on Steam a couple of months back and damn it's an awful game. I know it's made by Treyarch or whatever they're called, who don't exactly have a good reputation, but my expectations for MW3 is still very low.

Also, for those of you who'd rather play BF3 than MW3, but all your friends wants MW3 instead; just refuse to buy MW3 yourself and keep nagging them to play BF3 instead :awesome:

I forget

one con to BF3: Requires you to use Origin

Reading this literally made me go *siiiiiiiiiiigh* at the end. I don't know what else to say about it.

Oh one thing: I hope the pirated version doesn't use Origin (and it probably won't).

Great, next thing you might see is:

Battlefield 3. I don't need to explain anymore. Riney is merely biased towards the Call of Duty franchise. It's hard to listen to his point of views anyways. All Call of Duty games, including Modern Warfare 3, uses id Tech 3. An engine used to develop Quake III Arena since 1999: heavily outdated. Rage uses id Tech 5. Doom 3 runs id Tech 4, which is more recent than id Tech 3 and that game was released in 2004. Modern Warfare 3 lacks any new changes and innovations, yet attracts the mass casual audience that calls themselves "professional".

I have 2 copies of Call of Duty 4, a broken copy and another copy of World at War, 1 copy of Modern Warfare 2, 1 copy of Black Ops on the Xbox 360 and another on the PlayStation 3. I have beaten COD4 to MW2 on Veteran, beaten Black Ops, yet I still consider the Battlefield franchise over the Call of Duty games. I refuse to buy any map packs exceeding $10 (such as $15 maps, especially ported maps), despite I despise priced map packs and I endorse free maps. Years ago, I considered buying Battlefield 2: Modern Combat, but I didn't. I bought Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and I don't own the predecessor, yet I consider it to be miles ahead of any Call of Duty game in terms of gameplay. Battlefield 3 runs an entirely new engine that improves itself in every way possible. The developers and publishers of Call of Duty refuses to develop a new engine, and calls that counterproductive. Infinity Ward and TreyArch merely take turns releasing a Call of Duty game each year, becoming a milk cow with only 2 years or less of production of each product.

Call of Duty is heavily outdated. Even Halo: Reach and Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary has better graphics and more balanced gameplay than Call of Duty.

Call of Duty is extremely linear in terms of story gameplay, while other developers hopes to expand on more open gameplay and to the extent of open world. World at War is the only Call of Duty game with co-op, Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3 only hosts "co-op" in terms of mission mode. Battlefield 3 will feature co-op. World at War and Black Ops featuring Nazi Zombies is perhaps, the biggest main attraction that's bigger than its multiplayer counterpart. Multiplayer being the same gameplay, different maps, charging players with old maps that are remakes, etc.

Battlefield has larger scale maps, allows players to drive vehicles, utilizes environmental destruction. Call of Duty has smaller maps, uses killstreaks to aircrafts and does not utilize environmental destruction but shooting through walls. Call of Duty consists of random grenades while Battlefield does not. There is so much explanation of how Battlefield 3 is better than Modern Warfare 3 such as graphics, gravity, team gameplay, realism, immersion, etc. Modern Warfare 3 is a joke. Developers usually take the idea of fairness in multiplayer while Call of Duty encourages players to be as unfair as possible, thus awarding these players with killstreak rewards to provide themselves an asset to be increasingly unfair and unbalanced.

I want to explain more how Battlefield 3 is set to destroy Modern Warfare 3. The only thing Modern Warfare 3 has is perhaps the sales and its fanbase exceedingly handing over their money over to Activision. If I recall correctly, Modern Warfare 3 will rely on local servers rather than dedicated servers.

Oh, and the story in Modern Warfare 2 is FULL of plotholes, Riney. It's not funny.

Oh god Krayzee you just reminded me of Halo Anniversary. I don't know if I should get that, BF3, MW3, or Skyrim. :massimo:

+5 respect KrayZee. Well said. IMO the only thing Call of Duty had on Battlefield ended at COD4, when the amazing PC Pro scene for the COD games ended.
