Iv said it before and Il say it again, since MW2's release Activision and COD have steadily declined (in quality) whilst Dice and the BF series have slowly moved in to the void vacated.
BO was pants and still is pants months after release. It wa never ready to be played, yet they asked £40 at release!
BF3 looks like a proper game, a proper game like COD4 was.. as in the last proper COD Activision created.
People keep saying nah you cahatting crap, but every single event in the time line since MW2 has slowly reinforced my view that the COD series is in serious decline.
Core gameplay - hasnt moved on since COD4. (All it has done is get messier with all that crap killstreaks etc)
Graphics - ohdear. Pants graphics. BO horrendous performance - game broken. Compared to BFBC2 which is pretty, and now BF3 amazing looking graphics, if Activision, dont seriouskly kick some but with the next COD release, then Dice wins again, more market share etc.....
But, how can the COD series upgrade the graphics, with out taking more risks? Technologically they are miles behind Dice, huge transitions neccessary to bring the COD series up to the level that Dice are delivering. Troubled waters.
BF3 is going to kick but. Im mostly excited about the native 64bit support. does that mean it will run better? Or do you think they have made it 64bit compatible, becuase the game is a resource hog, and only 64bits can meet its demands?
