Battlefield 3 vs Call of Duty MW3.

I used to be a HUGE CoD fan playing the game since the first one but I also played BF games since the start. I eventually graduated to BF and stopped playing CoD games because I saw them going in the wrong direction, well what I thought was the wrong direction. I disbanded my CoD clan and never looked back.

Why did you stop playing CoD or BF games, if you still play them, why?

Maybe you play both, which side do you choose?

I'll be playing both.

I think they are different enough games that you can justify playing both of them.

Especially the multiplayer modes have a very different feel to it, with BF3 vehicles and perhaps a tad bit slower gameplay.

i know battlefield will at least fall in price on the pc evenually..

thats where my money sits even if CoD is the better game 9which is a tall order based on the review average of 9.3/10 bf3 has been getting across the web based spectrum.

mw3 need a 9.7 or better to avoid debateable results.

I play both. Unfortunately I do believe that the CoD series took a wrong turn on the PC version, omitting a lot of basic features.. but the gameplay itself is downright FUN. You can experiment with so many different loadouts, and you're not stuck to a certain class or anything when choosing your weapons. This allows for a ton of experimentation. Even after playing the game for hundreds of hours, there are STILL weapons in MW2 that I've barely used. The game is fast-paced, responsive, and the killstreaks are quite addictive.

However, I also enjoy the Battlefield series. And when I say Battlefield I mean BF2 and 2142. I also think DICE took a wrong turn with the series, especially with BC2. The map design was ATROCIOUS. No prone, and the tiny bits of cover between the areas you're funneled through (in rush mode) just let the attackers get slaughtered. And those maps where you parachute in but the enemy is close enough to shoot you out of the air? Who thought that was a good idea?

I played BC1 on console, and even that felt like more of a Battlefield game to me, simply based on the superior map design. It looks like BF3 is headed in the right direction, so we'll see how much I enjoy that.

If COD was still like COD1+2 (And United Offense) id still play the series, but they have changed far too much which i hate. Battlefield just keeps getting better though.

Original.

I still play both franchises because I still find them both fun. If and when one or both of them stop being fun, I'll stop playing.

I only thank CoD for keeping the children and trolls out of the good games.

Why is that sad? It's THEIR personal decision, there is no need to control your friends because you dislike playing a game without them. Let them make your choice, you've made yours and that's Battlefiled, apparently. Is he crying about that on some forum? I highly doubt it.

Either way, removing the childish drivel from the context, I'll be play both games. Why? Both of them bring different things to the table, both of which I like. If I want to play a team based game where I can casually run around for 10 minutes on a giant map, not getting shot at, or shooting at anyone I'll play Battlefield. If I want to play something a little more personally competitive I'll play Call of Duty, unlike BF3, with Call of Duty you, yourself can determine the outcome of the team based play with your sheer dominance.

I enjoy both games, both have different styles, which suites different wants for me.

I enjoy the huge maps of BF, as well as the use of teamwork.

I enjoy the gunplay of COD, as well as the killstreaks and all. I really hope MW3 has a HARDCORE Free For All mode.

When COD is done right like COD4, then it is a great gaming exprience. I probably enjoy COD more in the long run, but I enjoy both franchises. They both have a lot to offer.

well, Ill say it like this:

While I am not exactly a CoD fan, I sort of like the SP campaigns.

In the BF series I havent liked what they tryied to do SP wise, but absolutely loved MP.

So the game which gives me the most fun is BF.

I am going BF3 with this one, I almost know that the SP will be forgotten as fast as I can play it, but the MP will keep me entertained for countless hours.

While I DO have an anti Acti thing going on, I do try to be fair on the games, so while CoD might not really be for me, atleast not MP wise, I can see why people love it, so I will not call it bad by any stretch, oh and it irks me when CoD gets so much credit for for what it does, which is very basic. (but still not the games fault that some people hold it in such a high reguard, and as I said it is a solid game when you view it without the acti politics and such)

I used to be both. I've always been much more of a BF fan but still enjoyed CoDs 1, 2, and 4 but the later ones are only fun for 1 month then they just piss me off, even when I am doing good and winning. I have purchased them all, but might end up passing on MW3 (just gonna play the SP on a friends PC).

So I went with the BF option on the poll.

And by saying that you're just as bad as the people you're trying to insult.

Battlefield forever since 1942.

I picked up CoD4....loved it and still play it but I have not bought anything previously.

Coming home from work tomorrow for some BF3 GOODNESS and I have no intention on buying MW3.

Seems that more people are BF3 fans....:D I think the engine of BF3 is awesome, but MW3 is also

an end of a geat series. So I choose both of them.

I only play CoD because of my friends and the zombies game mode. I've spent two years trying to lean them off CoD and onto the BF franchise. Unfortunately, they don't seem to enjoy the objective focused gameplay and only care about their k/d spread... sigh... CoD may have ruined FPS games for the entire decade.

I simply can't stand playing CoD anymore. I enjoyed CoD4/CoD2 (and WaW). I don't know if it was the map design of the newer games or I just grew out of the gameplay style, but I just don't enjoy them anymore.

Why you keep opening these threads? It's like those stupid "Megadeth vs Metallica" threads on music forums.murekkep

I used to be a HUGE CoD fan playing the game since the first one but I also played BF games since the start. I eventually graduated to BF and stopped playing CoD games because I saw them going in the wrong direction, well what I thought was the wrong direction. I disbanded my CoD clan and never looked back.

Why did you stop playing CoD or BF games, if you still play them, why?

Maybe you play both, which side do you choose?

But the final game is a million times better than the three month old build they used for the beta. Like he said, of all the ones to skip, why pick the best one?
