Well said. I would reason that most 360 gamers are not at all impressed with Kinect. Hardcore gamers own xboxes because 4/5ths of their friends that play online are on xbox live.
The major issues with Black Ops are the lag, the OVERbalanced weapons (a lot of them seem the same), and Treyarch map design. MW2 is a better game than Black Ops, and MW3 will improve on MW2.
The more i hear EA/dice talk, the less excited i get for their game. They start a fight, then claim they're not in one. They get in a war of words with troll gamers, and then they stop talking on twitter altogether. They trash talk their competition and then they show up to E3 without console footage. Please just stop talking EA/dice, let you game speak for itself.
BF3 campaign looks pretty awesome. And graphics are WAY better on PC. But I own a console, and the reason i play games for 200 hours is the Multiplayer Gameplay. If you are talking sales figures it's not even a contest, the 2 games play completely different and you are not going to have a huge crossover of fan base. As i said in another post, why are EA/Dice so concerned with being #1 in sales? How about being happy that your game looks amazing, sounds amazing, and is a great team-ba...
More CoD hate on the comments, how original. When will you learn that BF3 is completely different gameplay and it will not steal CoD fanbase?
CoD fans do not want maps with 32 or 64 players, they want to find the person who just killed them, and quickly. CoD fans enjoy the large combinations of perks, they enjoy the way the guns aim down sights, and they are addicted to the intense non-team-based gameplay where kill-death ratio is your bragging rights.

@shackdaddy.. A BF fan admitting that you are also a CoD fan? You sir are the man. Plus bubbles for you. And that's coming from this CoD fan that is excited for BF3. Glad to see some console footage tonight.
Did anybody actually read the article? They gave it an "F", not a 0/10. It was metacritic who converted it to a zero score.
They're marketing strategy is to get mentioned every time MW3 gets mentioned. Maybe they're marketing strategy should be to show us some console footage.

correction: BF3 looks better on PC. It probably looks about the same as everything else out there for the 360, which is why Dice "didn't have any footage ready to show" for E3.
As a consolation, Bethesda has shown how to properly keep users in the loop about their credit card info in a timely fashion.
This war is getting so old. Battlefield 3 will look much better than MW3 on PC. Everybody knows it. And they will look about the same on Xbox because it has already been pushed to the max for the past year. MW3 will play a lot like MW2 with some new innovations. BF3 will play a lot like BFBC2 and BF2 with some new innovations. BF3 has been hiding behind their PC footage for way too long and as a result are going to be blown away on total sales even if they have a better PC game. End of...
Treyarch has no part in MW3. You don't seem to know very much about the 2-headed CoD development. Treyarch is the CoD "B" Team, their last 2 titles were nearly straight up copies of MW1 and MW2. It's time to see what the "A" team can pull off again, even if half of them are at respawn =)
"We are going to take down MW3 in sales, yet we can't show you Xbox 360 footage at E3 5 months before release."
EA/Dice - maybe cut it out with the bold statements regarding sales. Because you look really dumb right now.
How does a game that has been talked about for months and has a fall release date have ZERO console footage?! Fire the marketing department at EA/Dice. They've spent the past 2 months trash talking their competition, and that same competition beats them to the punch within a couple weeks of being announced.
Thank you jeseth
So true
An article about call of duty and the very first comment is about Dice's commitment and attention to detail.
BF3 fanboys are giving BF3 a bad name
@sniper
"CoD is the same rehashed game" - um, which series isn't? BF3 looks wicked sick, but guess what? ..BF3 is rehashed and BF3 has immature teenagers online. Go get some original material for your trash talking.
Actually matrix, on consoles we have no idea if BF3 looks better, they won't show us any footage.
I do like how every BF fan spends their day posting comments on a quasi-announced MW3, they are doing a great job at hyping this game. 250 degrees already!
LOL. Great article. Bioware needs to make up their mind with where ME3 is going!
"We want to enrich the roleplaying elements of the game! By removing them all!”
@joydestroy
So once we rule out the amazing PC graphics (since beckylikeschocolate is on console), we are supposed to be excited for.. slightly more destructable environments? That's it?! If you can't come up with more than that then i think Becky is right, it's nothing special at this point.
Not that it's your fault, it's EA&Dice's fault for hiding behind their PC footage.
No thanks Treyarch. Time for Infinity Ward to show you once again how it's done.
