Don't be ridiculous everybody knows you only get to buy one or the other. Its against the law or something to buy both.

I personally think BF3 has the upper hand on this one, but I have never played any of the games in either series so what do I know!

Pick a side or go home

I don't see how you can compare the 2, one is a war simulation, full on with very little let up and the other is a close quarters battle set in relatively small scenarios.

For the record, I will be buying both.

I'd tell how how they both fare but I lost my crystal ball recently.

Pfft, Macs are better than PCs.

Wait, what?

Yep this.

Kind of a different game but inevitable they are compared. Some people want to actually want to play a game and have a blast and not spend half of the time running/driving/flying around a map. Of course only kids play COD :rolleyes:

Battlefield BC2 is just pretty much the same on that aspect then.

IMO it's that adults don't play consoles it's that there's likely MORE kids on consoles than PC because they are cheaper to buy and play than keeping up to date on PC hardware. It's not a bad thing, we were all kids once and loved our consoles, I just wouldn't have given myself a microphone and Live .

I thought the average age of a console gamer was found to be 32 or something in a survey? From experience there's tons of adult console gamers out there, just as there are plenty of retard kiddies playing on the PC.

'Consoles are for kids' is just a load of BS perpetuated by elitist people pretending that they're more mature than people they've never met.

I actually hope BF3 is a massive disappointment. I'm sick and tired of hearing those *insert rude word here* up on their high horse saying that every other FPS is a generic crapfest and should bow before the godliness of BF3. If it comes out and is as good as its hype (Doubt that with the amount of hype some people are giving it) then fair enough but until it's out then get the ef down.

Personally I didn't enjoy BC2 and MW2 annoyed me to the point of smashing my keyboard

p) so I'm not going to buy either on release date. I'll watch gameplay videos and reviews when the game is actually out before buying.

I'll be buying both. Don't understand why people restrict themselves from a bit of enjoyment by only being loyal to one brand.

MW3 will be fun, so will BF3.

MANFACE · 14 Jul 2011 at 12:21

BF3 and MW3 are totally different games.

MW3 run and gun with stupid killstreaks that annoy me.

BF3 Guns, Tanks, Helicopters, Jets, Boats,Hummers and TEAM WORK etc..etc.. Lead development on PC.

Oh.......64 player too.

Looking forward for BF3, I bought MW2 last month for the pc for peanuts single player was good but the mp was really poor, folk jumping out of windows and getting head shots with the siper rifle is beyond a joke. Bf2 unrinates from a great height over MW2 mp, anyhow will buy both BF3 and MW3 and I just hope that the MP aspect of MW3 is up to scratch.

If MW3 gets support with MOD tools for Promod - then that will be a winner for the competitive side.

BF3 - looks no different to any other BF series - just newer engine. Although now they're starting to "nerf" things!

MW3 = Arcade shooter (no vehicles)

BF3 = Team based Arcade/Simulation shooter (vehicles)

ARMA 3 = Team based Simulation shooter (vehicles)

I pick BF3!

I agree with every1 who said console gaming is for kids...

I like to be in a mature clan who own their own server meaning smacktards can be kicked and banned if needed!!

Goon, you own a PS3 which you use to play BF:1943 iirc.

I dont see how MW can imporve/cahnge..its the same forumla just new maps/guns/perks...But all in all its a simplistic shooter in small maps. THere isnt really much that can be done to it IMO. MW1 was by far the best one.

On the other hand BF3 can improve so much becaue it ahs been years since the previous release BF2 which had no desturbile environment. Off course BFBC2 surley will be a condesnsed smaple of what BF3 shoudl be. I imagine it will be simailr but with bigger maps obivosuly and more air vehciles etc...Also the different clases have much effect on the gameplay whereas there is no class in COD really. Maybe cod could intorduce medics and such as was in killzone 3? to improve it?

ANyway I think COD will be more fun for the single player though not worth the RRP for that alone.

That was a good post that I stopped reading halfway through due to the spelling of a 7 year old.

Only because its the only platform its out on, also I usually play that when my daughter is running round the room and I’m chilling on the sofa keeping an eye on her (cant do it on the pc ofc)! I still stick to what I said, granted in the grand scheme of things its an ignorant assumption but its how I feel when ever I play on there. I listened to a 15 min convo on a COD server a while back about a few 10 year olds discussing their clan called Sniperz and that wasn't the first time i've heard simular….. Haven’t played since then!

I've not yet come across any clan that is run by children in PC gaming, the whole persona of PC gaming is that of an adult, granted not all console players are kids but i've not really come across any1 younger than 16 playing mainstream games which is the complete opposite to console gaming.
