Battlefield 3 or Modern Warfare 3?

I want to get into one of these but I have a few questions.

1. Which one promotes more cooperation and team play? I love teaming up to accomplish goals!
2. Which one has better voice communications?
3. Which one is the least frustrating in terms of bugs, quirks, cheap deaths, lag/disconnects, cheaters, match-making, etc?
4. How bad does Origin suck?
5. How cool is Call Of Duty Elite?
6. Are either of these games good on the 360? Thinking about that also.

Any suggestions or comments are much appreciated. I wish I had the money to just buy both but even one will be a stretch. Thanks, friends! :D

Also, Origin is god awful.

It's in beta for a reason.

Granted, should it be required for games being only in beta? No.

Wouldn't recommend either games really.

This of the two games it pains me to say mw3 is better than bf3. Bf3 is nothing but Medal of honor with even bigger maps

BF3, but I am starting to get bored of it a little. Perhaps I've probably played too much of it. As for MW3, I'm really trying to like the MP but I just can't, it just feels bad, heck I've grown more accustomed to playing Black Ops now than MW3.

Battlefield 3 for teamplay, vehicles least cheap deaths, has dedicated servers(no match making unlike mw3).

MW3 is a joke when talking PC only

MW 3 on the PC has terrible maps and is really imbalanced. It also uses a cruddy matchmaking system and has dated visuals and poor sound design. Gameplay consists of sprinting in circles and occasionally running into someone. Avoid it at all costs.

BF 3 on the PC is fun when you are on a good team and enraging when the teams are stacked against you. It also has weird net code issues that can lead to instant deaths from body shots. Air is overpowered. The vanilla game has some good maps and some bad maps, but Back 2 Karkand is where the best maps are to be found. Teamwork is mostly coincidental; if you happen to encounter a team mate as assault or support you might drop a health/ammo kit, but its mostly just people running around doing their own thing. Something has to be said for the great visuals, sound and feel of the weapons though. Overall, its not as good as Bad Company 2 and a far cry from the quality of BF 2/2142.

Get Red Orchestra 2. It has much better infantry combat than the above games, the atmospere is better, and the sense that you are working with your team is greater.

MW3 has smaller maps and maxplayers is set to 18. Also, there's no COD Elite service on the PC. At least not yet.

BF3 has large scale maps with vehicles, aircrafts and its up to 64 players.

Both are great.

Wouldn't recommend either games really.

+1. I would recomend Bad Company 2 over any of them: is better designed, is better balanced, is cheap and has a better ratio between cost/contents.

BF3 has overal very bad maps, with the Back To Karknd map pack being better than the whole vanilla game; the campaign is mediocre at best and the people only plays the coop to unlock the FAMAS and so. Infatry/vehicle balance is at almost BF2 levels of "broken" and despite the superb visuals and good performance the lens flare/flashligh blindings are utterly annoying. Oh, and the respawn system in TDM is utterly useless: you reborn totally random behind and before enemies without taken into consideration their location in the maps (as the early days of Black Ops but x10 worse).

Modern Warfare 3 has probably the worst mp maps of the franchise in this generation, and the p2p system really hurts the gameplay, making the experience way worse than Black Ops, which provided a more stable conditions to play and also delivered better designed maps.

BF3 is better than MW3 in almost all areas. Campaign in MW3 is slick and no thought is required to join matches. Funnily enough no thought is required to play it either. nutcrackr

BF3 >> MW3 imo

Only thing MW3 does better imo is the campaign.

Man, every time I play BF 3, more stupid **** happens.

Just had a game where I was 1-hit killed from sniper body shots twice, got spawn killed by a smoke grenade, then layed an entire clip of M240B into a sniper at 10 meters; his body jiggled and reacted as if being hit, but he took no damage, and preceded to slowly turn around and shoot me in the head.

the server had 17 ping.

I'm done with this game.

Stay clear from both MW 3 and BF 3 if you know whats good for you. Just uninstalled this garbage so i'm not tempted to go back again.

1. Battlefield 3 no doubt. Call of Duty makes you feel like Rambo and Battlefield makes you feel like a real soldier.
2. I'm not sure, but I'm going with Battlefield 3.
3. Modern Warfare 3
4. It doesn't suck, but don't expect something like Steam
5. It's okay, I guess.
6. They're both good, I prefer MW3 on the 360.

For the pc I would go with BF3, MW3 would be better for consoles. Why not try both (I bet you have friends that have one of them) and see which one suits you. Or if you have played a battlefield game recently or any CoD in the past couple years then they are largely the same with obvious changes in graphically appearances.
