Will you purchase MW3 or Battlefield 3 and why?

Very curious about this, I'm not here to bash on any of them, seriously they are both great games. Just buy your favorite or maybe both and enjoy!!!!

This battlefield 3 is fresh and looks amazing. TBH we have all played MW 3 before, like for the past 4 games, it won't different at all.

Neither :shock: Not a huge fan of shooters.

I'll be getting both. Both games look awesome.

Here's my problem with Battlefield, people say that its a lot less of a lone wolf game and I don't think that's true. Every game mode (in BFBC2) is based on having a certain number of tickets (lives) and when the run out, the game is over. How is this ANYTHING other than a glorified Team Death Match? Sure you can capture flags, plant bombs, but ultimately the game ends after a certain number of kills. And yes, you can repair vehicles, and spot, and whatnot. But how often does the average random take advantage of all of these features, or even use a dang headset? Rarely.

Sure you can tell me that its much better if you play with friends (which is what I prefer). But couldn't the same be said about CoD? Playing it with friends can make the experience much more fun and team-based. I like both games, but BF elitists need to get over themselves. The average message board posts would lead one to believe that BF is undeniably bettet than CoD, but the sales figures say the exact opposite! It just goes to show that many who hate on CoD online still buy and play it, and love it.

You clearly didn't read my post. My point was, how many people take advantage of those features? The BF community is no better than the CoD community, but both are great games when played with friends. I've noticed you started following me around the forums again, why?

I'll buy both games. Why?
CoD: MW3 for the storyline.

Battlefield 3 for the multiplayer.

Im getting both i know BF3 mp gona be good but dont know if mw3 mp is dont want another blops and that preak flak jacket.I like expolsion and blops was a joke it lack fun and i hope mw 3 and has fun factor.

I could care less about you. I merely posted a response to the comment. My friends and I communicate constantly in BC2, and only occasionally in MW2 or Black Ops, with the the exception of Nazi zombies.(which to some people happens to be the best part of the CoD series)HilbillyRokstar

Thanks. You proved my point, both games are best played with friends.

Maybe you should read your own post. The main difference is the level of cooperative effort, not the amount of fun. Regardless of your opinion.HilbillyRokstar

1. If that's the case then why buy one game over the other? If according to you, they are equally fun? That is not logical.

2. I never said that one is more fun than the other. My point is that the communities are the same type of player (lone wolves) unless you are playing with friends. People make BF seem like this big group of team players, it is not. You can't really comment on this as it sounds like your only experience is playing with friends.

3. Yes what I said if my opinion, but what you said is your opinion also. You can't state your thoughts as fact and belittle the thoughts of others as "opinion". That's not how the world works, friend.

I'll make a shorter version of my msg.

BOTH ;D

I'll buy MW3 because I enjoy playing it more, and I'm pretty good at CoD. Battlefield just doesn't have anything that makes me keep coming back like CoD does.

Please stop trying to put words in the mouths of other posters. There is no excuse for you to argue any this any further. Thank you.

Well I'd purchase MW3 for the storyline and a little fun from the game and for BF3 I'd like to see how it is( I know it'll be awesome) and have some fun, those games are good.

MW3 is pretty much the same, except its MW2 and BO combined with a little cod4 sauce

Prob neither, but if most my friends pick up one or the other I prob will

i'll be getting MW3 before Battlefield 3. battlefield 3 looks really good but i'm a bigger fan of COD. MW2 gave me many hours of fun.

mrsniper83

both for me

Either just BF3 or both. Not sure about MW3 right now, but I will probably pick it up because of how many of my friends will be playing it.

If Jurassic calls BF game modes "glorified TDM" in one more thread, I'm gonna lose it :|. We get it, you think that, but that statement is really pretty weak. I won't even start, but really, it's getting old now.

Both

Battlefield 3, because the new Frostbite engine looks awesome, and i've always been a sucker for new tech.

Modern Warfare 3, because most of the people on my friend's list will be playing it, and I'd rather play games online with the people I know; it's a much better experience.

Neither.

You know what's funny? If you check the scores on Metacritic, which is a culminatation of scores from a ton of reviewers, the scores of BC2 and Black Ops are almost exactly the same on each platform. So what does determine quality? Its personal preference, but it is generally agreed upon that quality-wise these games are basically the same.

Also you took my quote out of context. My point was that the general opinion on message boards contradicts sales figures, implying that a lot of people online just say what they think others want to hear, but their purchases say otherwise.

pick both and only shooter game I will buy this year

I somewhat agree with you.

When BFBC2 is at its best; your squad is cooperating and communicating, there is a good balance of all classes, etc., I feel that I enjoy BFBC2 more. There is something really cool about having the right balance of classes and people who can use them effectively And, in my experience, players in BFBC2 do tend to communicate more.

Having said that, more often than not, people do "lone-wolf" itin both games objective based modes. And, to me, it tends tobe more detrimental to the BFBC2 experience because usually it means that you have people favoring 1-2 classes over the others, particularly the Scout class.

On topic, I will most likely get BF3. I have not decided on MW3.
