Probably asked a million times, but I only have the cash for one of the 2 and I'm not sure which:

Upgraded my pc ( i7 @ 3.4 ghz, 12gb 2000mhz ram, GTX570, SSD, etc...) and want a new game to play.

Bf3: I played this at a mate, thought it was hard to get into, I still miss skirmish with bots and vehicles. I loved 1942, I liked Vietnam, and I loved BF2 and played 1942 (and it's mods, forgotten hope and Desert Combat) and BF2 to death. I didn't particularly like BC2, I still have it on steam but barely ever touch it.

MW3: Not seen/played this yet, but I still play CoD4 sometimes, I loved all CoD's until CoD4, I still liked WaW, I thought MW2 was a bit meh (more of the same as cod4, but enjoyed the SP campaign) and ****ed at the lack of dedi server so didn't buy that, finished SP and occasionally play it at mates on ps3 splitscreen. I never seen or played Black ops and pretty much skipped that due to loss of interest. Now there's MW3 and I barely know anything about it, if I liked cod4, will I like this ? I have a bit more mates with bf3 willing to play it with me, but I have a couple of people for both games to play with.

Which would you pick in my situation and why ?
 
BF3 much more to it than MW3 game wise.

If you want the MW3 retardation game play play metro 24/7 rush
 
I always try to look at it like this, if you prefer more tactic based action it has to be BF3, if you prefer the more halo run and gun, I would go with COD. But then again you can also run and gun in BF3 but you would get more deaths then kills.
 
Battlefield 3, although it isn't without it's problems. I haven't really enjoyed a CoD game since Modern Warfare.

Battlefield 3 just has more to it. There are vehicles, the guns feel better, there is bullet drop, and there are no ridiculous kill streak perks. Plus the entire game just feels more 'alive'. It feels like a war, rather than a small skirmish.
 
MW3 is MW2 with new maps. Avoid at all costs, no dedicated servers either.

BF3 will take time to get into but is a good long term bet.
