Really Dice... why?

I just saw the advertisement for BF3 that says "Above and beyeond the call" and I think that is a really cheap shot at MW3. I enjoy both franchises, and I just don't see why they would do such a thing. Do you see IW or Treyarch taking shots like this at the BF series? No

Let me appologise to you on behalf of EA- sorry if we hurt your feelings. I say bring it on!

All's fair in love and advertising :D

More stuff to do in BF3? Not just running around gunning on a small map the whole time.

Yeah, I remember seeing an ad for a Dodge minivan where it said it had more interior room than the Honda minivan. That left me upset for the better part of a week.

Thing is, I would bet good money that in the next year or two, we will see a COD game with vehicles, like battlefield. Activision will see people want it, and make another COD to cater for it. People will argue its not a ripp off of BF when it happens lol. We live in a gaming world where every developer (tries to) improve upon those who came before it. Its the nature of the industry. Although, I would say EA were a little childish about the whole thing, but competition is good for everyone. BibiMaghoo

It's pretty stupid, indeed. I can understand the fanboys running around and smashing their heads. But that even the developers can't see how different and incomparable these two games are and have to join those mindless people is above and beyond my understanding.Reptylus

This has nothing to do with comparing the games from a gameplay experience. It's advertising. COD is their big competitor. It makes perfect sense to take shots at them. Also its not the developers doing this. The advertising/marketing is done by a separate entity (actual ad-people). From an advertising perspective, I found it kind of clever. The inviduals who created the ad may have never even played either game.

Yes this was very saddening indeed, I immediately slit my wrists after seeing that advertisement.koospetoors

its pathetic really. but hey maybe MW will finally decide to make some major imrpovments to the game, instead of being so similar to COD4

Go to the game store, you can see it already. It's called "CoD World at War" which features tanks on several maps. As for the advertising campaign, it's catchy, you gotta admit. This is a wrestling match as to who's more clever and so I say, round one to EA for a well-turned phrase.

Having played Battlefield 3, I don't think Activision has anything to worry about.

I think EA's just desperate. They needed an online pass for their game, they must be hard up for dough.

Let's get the COD community rallied up and boycott all BF games. That'll teach em!
