MW3's Robert Bowling: "Spent an hour playing @Battlefield 3... I loved it!"

MP1st.com writes "Despite the heat between publishing giants Activision and Electronic Arts, game developers of Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3 play praise highly of each other."

MrSpace5264d ago

then he looks back and compares his game MW3.........."f*ck"

TheBeast5264d ago

Realizes how screwed he is.

fluffydelusions5264d ago

You guys....psh. I see this as good sportsmanship.

LOGICWINS5264d ago

How is he screwed? MW3 is guaranteed to be a hit whether it sucks or not.

When MW3 comes out, you'll be on N4G complaining while Bowling enjoys being a millionaire and plays BF3/MW3 on his 70 inch plasma.

iGaMei5264d ago

Millions and all he has is a 70 inch. PLASMA

frostyhat1235264d ago (Edited 5264d ago )

@ The Beast How are they screwed? Honestly EA and Dice are coming off as the bad ones on this with their "Rotten to the Core" and the "Battlefield will do to Call of Duty what FIFA did to PES" comments! Like the game or not Activision and IW are coming off as the classy ones with comments like this!

sak5005264d ago

@logic

How naïve of you. I have nothing compared to Robert in terms of bank balance and i have 1 x 1080p 50" plamsa, 1 x 1080p 42" plasma and 1 x 1080p 42" 3D tv. I would jump to 103" if i have 1/24th of his money.

LOGICWINS5264d ago

^^Ummm...what is your point exactly?

Pixel_Pusher5264d ago

I wish I could say the same about MW & BlOps

Peppino75264d ago

Finally some professionalism. Compliments for the opponent.

SilentNegotiator5264d ago

Yeah, I'm sure he's SOOOOOO worried being "stuck" with one of the best selling VG series of all time.

Come on, I'm as sick of COD as much as the next enlightened gamer, but COD will sell millions regardless.

maniactadpole5264d ago

I don't know why there is so much hate for the game.Personally, i love COD games (except for Black Ops, World at war and COD3)I think MW3 is gonna be a great game with an action packed single player campaign even if it doesn't sport graphics and like that of BF3.

dredgewalker5263d ago

I have to agree, he still gets all the money and can still play BF3 on his beastly game rig. :(

Or he is just enjoying the competition! Just because he is a developer doesn't mean he is not a gamer just like us!

Simco8765264d ago

oh shit, common sense on N4G!
Bravo sir, he is a gamer like all of us!

I wish the best to both games and whoever plays them get's their $60 worth!

GSpartan7775264d ago

Common sense on N4G is not allowed. Get out please.

omi25p5264d ago

You smart types arent welcome here..

narked5264d ago

both game are looking good :) along with a bazillion other good games coming out this year :)

snipes1015264d ago

N4G could use a million more just like you.

wutangkillabees5264d ago

You can be sure that someone like Patrick Bach wouldn't play Modern Warfare 3...he'd just hate it.

chriski3335264d ago

good he loved now learn u retard and make a finished damn game

Cmpunk5264d ago

their might be hate for cod but it's one of the rare arcade games that can compare to the ps2 era of fps thats why it's so popular

cod will always remind me of the ps2 era gaming which wasn't all about graphics but about fun im getting battlefield and cod but im just saying"

zerocrossing5263d ago

Well it's better than fanning the flames I guess, fanboys are doing enough of that.

SonyPS3605263d ago (Edited 5263d ago )

Can't just leave it as good sportsmanship without inserting stupid fanboyism, can you?

P.S. I think COD sucks and BF will crap all over it, before you go making assumptions.

fr0sty5263d ago

this is the type of talk I like to hear out of competitors. turn 10 needs to take a page from this guy's book. i might be more interested in seeing what forza had to offer if it weren't for those a**holes constantly running their mouths about how much better they are than GT5. this sort of thing actually makes me want to check out MW3 just because i know mature people with good sportsmanship were behind it. i will at least give it a rental for that reason. I like people that aren't so caught up in their own egos that they can admit when the other guy is on to something good!

It's nice to see developers not getting involved in the politics between EA and Activision.

GameZenith5264d ago

How is it politics?

The proper term wouldbe business. This is a business and any a very tough one. EA is trying to literally take money out of Activision's pocket and Activision is trying to do the same.

The fact that they did sit down and play the game together AND went on twitter aftwards to kiss each other's butt WAS politics because they are trying to create this picture that in the end, they are just gamers/friends. However really they are trying to cut each other's hearts out.

Besides, they are both "Community" guys so of course they would do such thing. However, I doubt you'll see John Ricitello and Bobby Kotick sit down and praise each other's games and talk about how they enjoyed each other's games.

Personally, gamer or no gamer, if I am in this industry I am a very competitive person and you can sit down and play my game and go on twitter afterwards to praise it, but don't expect me to praise your game in the end because when it is all said and done, I'm out to beat you and I [as a community manager] would NOT give your game any praise or attention what so ever.

Mister_V5264d ago

Epic reply post win! ;)

Kenshin_BATT0USAI5264d ago

Of course man. There is NO WAY these two people can be friends, IT MUST BE A POLITICAL STUNT. Believe it or not, they might be each other's competition but they can still be friends at the end of the day, not everyone is as shallow-minded as you are.

snipes1015264d ago

I'd like to think that not everyone thinks like that in the business world. If they are at the top of their game right now, why not just enjoy games and act like gamers? You start making video games because you love them, you would have to. I can't imagine someone who doesn't love gaming would want to go through the process of creating one because, well, it sucks.

vortis5264d ago

I can't believe you got so many disagrees. Talk about naive noobs.

You're absolutely right, though, these guys are bitter rivals the way Vince McMahon and Ted Turner were at each other's throats during the infamous "Monday Night Wars".

I'm not sure where gamers get off thinking that it's all peaches and cream when there is litterally billions of dollars at stake and hundreds of millions of dollars of marketing being poured into each franchise to ensure that more gamers buy one game over the other.

With all that said, bubbles to you sir.

radphil5264d ago (Edited 5264d ago )

You guys really think people are going to be at each other's throats as a community manager or devs?

Show some integrity.

Jack_DangerousIy5264d ago

Lol, well I agree with your choice. It absolutely is politics.

If you watch some of the Democratic candidates talk about and to one another you would realize that some of this childish behavior we have seen between some developers is exactly that. Politics.

Mister_V5264d ago

I know I'm buying BOTH games. I mean, we gotta realize that both games provide totally different forms of awesomeness and epicosity.

Forbidden_Darkness5264d ago

Same here, i'll be getting both. I just wont ever be buying another Trayarch CoD again, they just don't have the feel of Infinity Wards CoD

trenso15264d ago

exactly what im doing W@W was ok B.o was trash i cant play anything from treyarch anymore.

Criminal5264d ago

I'm going to buy both games, and of course, along with Uncharted 3.

Convas5264d ago (Edited 5264d ago )

The man above me is wise. I too shall follow in the paths of your wisdom.

blink30205264d ago

Same here, cant wait for the end of October

FragMnTagM5264d ago (Edited 5264d ago )

Make that 4, I am also getting everyone of those. I am adding Skyrim to that list and possibly Batman AC.

ainsz5264d ago

Ahhhhh!!! Toby Turner!!!!! Peace off... ;)

BigWillys5264d ago

Bobby Kotick said to Robert Bowling: "Your fired!"

vortis5264d ago

No, no, no...you did it all wrong. You have to do it like this...

Rampaged Death5264d ago

Why does stuff like this get on sites ? 1. He's a competitor and 2. he's a gamer FFS !!

evrfighter5264d ago

Hes neither actually. Hes koticks yes man. How do you think he got to where he is. He neither developed our helped create cod. All he did was ripoff cs and battlefield ideas

Battlefield 3 Cut Missions From Campaign Detailed by Former DICE Dev

Battlefield 3's former Lead Designer has revealed that there were two cut missions from the main campaign

XiNatsuDragnel373d ago

I wish someone can get those EA game leaks to see all the cut content ngl

anast373d ago

Get rid of campaigns, move the game to mobile, and try to compete with warzone. They would save time and money.

Johnh5223373d ago (Edited 373d ago )

Bf4 was fun hope the new bf is just as good.

Modern Warfare 3 flooded with cheaters after arrival on Xbox Game Pass

Players are using hacks to gain an advantage in the game, such as aimbots and wall hacks. The first gives a player superhuman aiming abilities, while a wall hack lets you see through walls to gauge where other players are.

Read Full Story >>
standard.co.uk
Jin_Sakai534d ago (Edited 534d ago )

“These hacks are typically used by PC players, but those playing on PC via Xbox Game Pass are identified as Xbox players in multiplayer lobbies.”

This is pretty dumb to say the least.

Cacabunga534d ago

All about them headshots for Xbox

badz149534d ago

Gotta pump those numbers up

blackblades534d ago

That's a WTF, they suppose to be labeled as pc users even if its on PC game pass. They mess that up big time.

XiNatsuDragnel534d ago

Oh bad this will be entertaining to watch

ZycoFox534d ago

If AI keeps getting better (and it will) it's just a matter of time before there's more sophisticated cheats even for consoles, and they wouldn't even need to be running on it, I have little doubt about that.

lelo2play534d ago

Don't Gamepass online games have anti-cheat systems?
If not, that's pretty dumb. Microsoft need to fix that asap.

Rynxie534d ago (Edited 534d ago )

They won't ever fix this problem, unless they (developers, publishers, Sony and MS) go after the cheat providers directly. You no longer need to hack consoles to use hacks. During the ps360 days, they were going after cheat devices, but it was a cat and mouse game. These cheating methods were around during those days, it's nothing new, but they kept it under control. Since the PS4/Xbox one generation, they stopped going after these cheating devices and it became widespread. Which I find odd, since they started charging for online play (PS4).

StormSnooper534d ago (Edited 534d ago )

Possibly, this is because the companies were going after cheats because the same cheats were being used to pirate the games, whereas today, the companies use online verification to prevent piracy, thus eliminating the need to go after people who cheat only to gain an advantage in the game. As long as the cheater remains below the radar, and does not completely break the game, the companies look the other way as their wallets are not threatened by it. (that is my completely Uneducated opinion on the matter)

pwnmaster3000534d ago

I mean, COD games was always filled with hackers, nothing new. I can’t blame MS on this. Activision had years to try and fix this. Might take MS some time to make some change.

Rude-ro534d ago

It all depends…
Microsoft’s guidance on how to handle gamepass on pc and their love to force crossplay with pc seems like a them issue.
And they own activision, so it is still a them issue.

StormSnooper534d ago

lol well that sucks.

Is there a reason this happened upon arrival on xbox?
