NowGamer has played the multiplayer of BF3 and MW3 to death and has compared both in this article.T hey've also been playing the beta all morning, and talked a bit about it too.
Battlefield 3's former Lead Designer has revealed that there were two cut missions from the main campaign
Get rid of campaigns, move the game to mobile, and try to compete with warzone. They would save time and money.

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.
“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.
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.
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.
Don't Gamepass online games have anti-cheat systems?
If not, that's pretty dumb. Microsoft need to fix that asap.
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).
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)
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.
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.
Very different games going after the same market? Is this like the old PES vs FIFA battles? FIFA's simulation style won out in the end and BF3 has a real simulation feel to it...
what a cop out, i read that whole thing simply because I wanted to see what he thought better, and then he takes the wussy route and says, " it depends on your style of gameplay, you choose". Well I say man up and be real about which one is better, even if its your opinion, you let your credibility go right out the door when you decided to hold back your true sentiments about these games. Booo!
i dont care about any comparison between the two!!
for me, both are different games and i AM buying both day 1..
F**k COD, that's my personal opinion I played the BF3 beta yesterday and strait away I was impressed with everything, the way each gun feels differant the sound is amazing and not fogetting people this IS just a beta and I personally feel that the metro map (although really gd) has very limited destruction which makes me wonder why people slated it buy saying the destruction part of the game is petty lame I generally think people are going to be eating there words once they have the full copy. I dont know but I think we have only seen a small fraction of what BF3 is capable of and I think dice know this.
"In all seriousness, the speed is almost on par with the Call of Duty series now, but this is by no means an attempt to copy Activision’s franchise"
So BF1942 speed then - finally!
