It's the quality of the game to put it simply. Don't you think it will sell if it's not good?
Most of these Xbox360 gamers will trade in their BF3 because BF3 in consoles especially in Xbox360 is definitely NOT what it was hype to be.
Anyway, considering that it has most online players in XBL, it still did NOT beat MW2. BF3 only came out 3rd in the XBL charts behind COD BOP and COD MW2 respectively. BF3 is not a challenger to COD MW3.
Graphics wise he is talking consoles, BF3 is inferior looking even to older COD MW2.
MW3 rehash?? What the f.ck has changed in BF3 anyway? it's exactly the same as BC2. you're a moron.
BF3 TDM is the worst TDM out there, even worse then MoH and like 10 years behind COD MW2.
Frostbite 2 is a downgrade from frostbite 1, it came out worst in consoles, too much lag, bad graphics, obvious framerate issues.
You sound like a little kid being blown into pieces ...
See, those 10 million BF3 shipped by EA will really help the consumers. Stores are now giving away BF3 for free.
"Other than looking at bottom of the leaderboards"? Really? so how come I always end up at the top in conquest and rush modes?, ah yeah, this article is a joke written by a Joker.
This does not prove anything because according to the latest XBL list provided by Major Nelson, BF3 only managed to get number 3. COD BOP and COD MW2 still tops 1 and 2 for the most played game.
BF3's challenge already failed against COD MW2, so there is no contest against COD MW3.
I'll let you know that lame argument 'same old COD' that COD haters have been using for ages is now associated with someone who is 'stupid', 'hypocrite', 'moron', 'idiot' and 'pathetic loser' like yourself.
You write like you have madcow in your brain. And if not then you're simply an idiot.
GameZone is a stupid website run by dumb writers.
With the way BF3 turns out in Xbox360, and that is, it is far off inferior graphically compared to the PC and generally did not improve anything, the Xbox360 gamers will put the BF3 disc in storage just like what they did to BC2.
EA has no idea that not all FPS gamers especially the console gamers like the BF formula, expansive maps with vehicles but slow, less intense action and where there is no coordination or teamwork. BF3 is exactly the same as BC2, so what else is new?
Besides, all the hype about frostbite 2 comes out EMPTY in consoles, no improvements at all. The BF3 TDM mode is the worst out there, not as good even as MoH. And didn't they know that MW3 is above 2:1 in preorders? BF3 will die a slo...
Ruin? By making the FPS genre the first multi billion dollar franchise and created a number of copycat afterwards? COD actually provided more mileage to other FPS like BF.
Are you gonna say the same to Gears 1,2,3 ; ME 1, 2,3 ; Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas ; BC2 and MoH MP? Dead Space 1 and 2, etc?
Using this lame argument already identifies you a fool and a moron.
You did not understand what -Alpha said or you're just simply an idiot. EA has been trashing and going after COD's throat since they launch BF3, the EA CEO himself is leading the charge with all the anti-COD comments over and over. They even said COD will go down in 2 years time just like Guitar Hero.
EA actually is the dodgy company you really can't trust because of the way they attack the competition, which makes me pondering if they are really the cause of the breakup ...
Black Ops have a few hundred thousand users regularly and MW2 a bit smaller.
If BF3 in XBL is less than 100K users, then it will not topple down COD's 1 and 2 dominance in the most played games in the XBL top 20 list.
Simply because of the never ending Xbox server issues. Just like what happened again last night, dang! Disconnected and attempting to reconnect says Failed to connect to EA, please try again.
Stabilizing servers my ass.
You know what? BF3 TDM is worse than MoH TDM. BF3 TDM maps are scaled down and lack variety.
I was expecting the TDM maps to be graphically superior and smoother because it is way smaller and lesser number of elements compared to conquest or rush maps, but it is the opposite, it has the worst lag, frame rate issues and that idiotic logic in spawning. who designs that players spawn right next to the enemy in full view?
You are an idiot. The lag is so evident in this map compared to the rest so it is not a network configuration or any other settings issue. I know most gamers experience the same thing. Why don't you shut the fk up and just observe.
One word - Dejavu. You know, that feeling that I think I have been here before, but i actually have been here a couple of seconds ago. You get this all the time as you sprint and being pulled back over and over that you seem like overlapping time dimensions.
PETA should be mad at everybody including their own because whenever anybody sees a rat especially at their home, they're going for the kill.
What they should do against this is to do another nude campaign using models in support of protecting rats.
