Modern Warfare 3 vs Battlefield 3: This War is Dumb

Even with all the growing hate for Modern Warfare 3 in the internet community, it is hard to deny the success of the game.

This article puts the ridiculousness of the war between 2011's biggest shooters to rest by comparing the massive differences between the two.

The article also points out which game wins in a breakdown of categories (the results are unexpected).

well written article, but it's sad that the singleplayer picture of MW3 was actually in COD4. They look so similar you can't tell the difference.

DeadeyeMouse5109d ago

Yah know... I guess that says a lot about the franchise itself. It is time they go ahead and try something different (I just made a joke).

The controls and the gameplay is top-notch, but the setting is getting stale.

CarlitoBrigante5108d ago

I think BF3 is superior becoz it has:

-medic class
-not run and gun Rambo style gameplay
-team play and tactics
-destruction
-vehicles

And I never played any BF before BF3, I was a CoD player.

Cosmit5108d ago

No run and gun Rambo style gameplay? Yeah there is. Its what I do. BF3 is way too easy for me.

dark-hollow5108d ago

just enough of cod already!
We are NOT haters. We are FANS of the game from cod 4.
We still waiting for the true sequel for cod 4 and all we got is rehashed garbage year over year over year!

We want innovation again. If rehashing didnt stop then cod wont survive!
Hell, you figure they would learn the lesson after guitar hero died because of their greed.

i learned this not only from previous marriages and from gamers...

1. no matter how much you want someone to like something, you cannot force them to like it.

2. even if a something is technically superior, some people will still prefer a technically inferior product because of numerous reasons. ex: friends, used to the controls, ect...

3. there are 2 different gamers, the ones who are informed and the ones who dont know about something until they see it in the store, these people are going to buy into advertisements and most likely will never take someones word for it and never give something else a chance.

Buzz7S5108d ago

At the end of the day, you're getting top notch FPS games. That is all that matters.

MW3 when I want to goof around and just have fun.

BF3 when I want to play a little more seriously, but still leave room for a good laugh.

They both appeal to me, as they should to anybody who is a fan of the FPS genre.

Blastoise5108d ago

I disagree with that. Coming from a person who enjoyed Black ops & Mw2 enough to have over two weeks online playtime each, Modern warfare 3 just didnt change enough things to keep it interesting.

DeadeyeMouse5108d ago

At least it was a well thought out and written trolling right?

JellyJelly5108d ago

I don't hate the COD series, they can be good fun. It's just that I think Battlefield 3 is better in all areas when it comes to the multiplayer. And that's where I spend most of my time with them.

Yeah, the Microsoft deal has DEFINITELY worked out for everyone.

Can this mother fucker just get lost already

PRIMORDUS1d 1h ago

He belongs in here ⚰️, hopefully sooner than later.

MrDead10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.

Saudi Arabia Will Own 93 Percent Of Battlefield 6 Publisher EA

When the dust settles on the $55 billion leveraged buyout of Electronic Arts, Saudi Arabia will be its only true owner, despite a “consortium” of investors being involved in the deal. Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund will control 93 percent of the company, according to filings with Brazil’s antitrust regulator.

blacktiger44d ago

Technically speaking, Saudi Arabia and TENCENT can buy the entire USA. ANf Democrat and Republican will not do crap!

Inverno44d ago

Letting foreign entities own half of American businesses is liberal and very progressive. So is bringing in all that talent from outside the States to replace the talentless and lazy American workers. And here I thought the Trump administration wanted to border is up but nope. We're supposed to worry bout them "radical Muslims" minding their own here and ignore China/Saudi/Israel taking over.

blacktiger44d ago

Another thing I hate hearing is "liberal and very progressive"
It's 2025 and that stuff is outdated. Everything and everyway is literally the same thing wheter it's progressive, conservativ. Because they all wants the same thing have, king unlimited oney buy everything including your house.

Now they making mainstream media news that it's AI Bubble justify to highjack the price of RAM.
Another excuse for inflation!

Tacoboto44d ago

"here I thought the Trump administration wanted to border is up but nope"

Lol, you actually bought what he was selling? Let's see this week alone...

Yesterday he pardoned an international drug lord, while allowing the murder of random fishermen on boats. Remember drain the swamp? He pardoned a Democratic Congressman jailed for bribery just today, nevermind that fraudulent drag queen republican that was kicked out of Congress and imprisoned for their fraud. It's so petty they're picking fights on social media with pop stars while using their music, and even using Franklin the damn Turtle to cartoonify their murders.

thorstein43d ago

You believed him!?!!

I've got some Trump $5000 bills for you, only half off.

People I do not use /s to point out my sarcasm. Should be obvious I don't believe anything coming out of Trump's mouth or any politicians mouth.

Looking on the bright side, the games may be patched to remove any ideologies that are incompatible for the majority of the world.

What do you mean? You want censorship in games?

Microsoft needs to listen or risk irreparable harm to Call of Duty

Windows Central: "The money may keep rolling in, but Microsoft is the custodian of one of the biggest selling video game series in history. If something doesn't change, I fear we'll reach a breaking point and irreparable damage will have been done."

Because ms is so good at managing studios, surely they will get it right

:P

franwex51d ago

In my view, they should probably merge MP with Warzone and essentially make it free to play like Halo Infinite. The campaign/zombies mode can be $30 yearly DLC. I know this would be insanity as most COD players essentially pay the full price of the game simply for the MP. However-with a shrinking player base they may have to consider it. Making it free would bring in a ton of players.

Profchaos51d ago

To late MW3 should have been a lesson but here we are two years later with a steaming pile a shite called blops7

bsingle4051d ago

Nothing lasts forever, eventually something will come along to make people forget about COD

Halo killer once arrived and technically call of duty killer also arrived, its name is Fortnite

dveio51d ago

Call of Duty was riding the revenue horse and charts for ~20 years. Whether undeserved or deserved.

But I endorse everyone to remind you that Microsoft could have decided differently when they took it over.

The money was certainly there, and they could have taken their time revamping the franchise:

Current-gen tech, manageable microtransactions, not imitating Fortnite and returning to core values of the franchise's origin.

They didn't.

Let's see next year. Hopefully without the then 13 years old PS4 and One hardware.

blacktiger51d ago

you need to stop saying "let see next year"
