Battlefield 3 or MW3: Which one offers better multiplayer experience?

Now that both have been out for a while, which multiplayer experience you find more enjoyable?

BF:3 by a mile.

BF3, it's not even close.

MW3 is crap even by CoD standards.

BF3, no contest.

I have MW3 on PC and BF3 on PC and PS3, so I can only speak on those versions:

On PC, both games have a small playerbase and the games are laggy as hell.

On PS3, BF3 has a decent size player base, and the game isn't anywhere near as laggy as the PC version, but the hit detection still sucks.

So, between the two, I'd go with Resistance 2.

I enjoyed BF3 MP a lot than CoD 3 MP.

Battlefield 3, though the co-op and single player are poop compared to CoD's offerings, the multiplayer is amazing, especially on PC.

Of course its not perfect, I'd probably liken BF3's buggy and exploit filled online to being a Catholic in an abusive relationship. You know its bad, but its against your religion to get out. In other words, its so damn fun that the various flaws are forgiven. MW3 is fun, but it doesn't really do much different from before and is rather unbalanced. Its polished and streamlined and easy to get into and whatever, but not as overall amazing and thrilling as BF3 online, not to mention not nearly as awesome on the PC and not nearly as pretty either.

I'd say I am biased because I play MW3 on my PS3 and BF3 on PC, but...

As bad as some of the maps for BF3 are, I believe MW3's maps are overall worse.

And lol @ the idea that resistance2 shouldn't be lumped into a genre called crap.

I prefer MW3 but thats just me

Wasn't a huge fan of either

My ping is around 80-140 most times since I'm currently overseas. With most games its good enough, I might get issues with matchmaking in some games (like Max Payne 3's matchmaking which makes it hard to game with friends), but that's generally the big matchmaking issue a lot of PC users get (and which I can't really figure out how to fix).

BF3 lately has been a massive lag fest. I don't know why, everyone I know has weird connection issues and lag spikes, in a game I played yesterday with 120 ping (which is decent when I do fine with much higher ping then that) I literally had moments where I teleported from the top floor of a building to the bottom floor of that same building, or planted C4 on a tank only for me to teleport 20 feet from the tank and get blown to bits.

Its terrible, EA servers pretty much come with free misery at this point. I love the game, but this happened in 2010 with BC2 for an entire summer and I hated the game for it.

BF3 offers a MUCH better MP experience overall. It has everything

I prefer MW3 but thats just me

mw3 beauase it doesnt have dice's garbage delay in hit registration which makes the game a skill-less trollolish shooter that gets me headeaches every time i try to understand wtf happened in the last firefight i experianced. I am like DAFUQ just happened?dakan45

put network smoothing factor at 0 and problem solved

I have both on Xbox and BF3's hit detection is god awful, the game still has sound issues to this day and the stock maps are crap except for Metro.

Yes. Yes it is.

TRUST ME, it's alot better than losing to a knife while wielding a shotgun. In CoD, the knife is beast. It can even kill with a SINGLE swipe to the shins, and whats even better is that your character actually dashes forward a little while swiping. :lol:ermacness

Nice philosophy. Jebus213

So is mine (on PC, it doesn't tell me my ping in ms on PS3), but there are always people with 200+ms pings on the server, and you can't do anything about that.

both just get very old after a while.

So you never touched your network smoothing settings.

I have BF3 on the PC and MW3 on the 360.

BF3 was a disappointment in a few ways, but my standards were set pretty damn high. As a standalone game it's fantastic, but as a sequel to BF2 it's a letdown. It's still a lot of fun and I'll continue playing it.

As for MW3, I have about 5 hour of the multiplayer in total. It bores me to death. Could be because I'm on the consoles, as I bought Black Ops for the PC and I put 50 hours into that no problem. MW3's maps are boring, the guns are really lackluster (especially compared to games like BF3 and RO2), the perks/killstreaks annoying me (getting killed by an unblockable missile is pure BS), and overall the experiance is stale. It was great back in CoD 4, and was fun in WaW and was great to revist with Black Ops, but MW3 felt like it was just beating the dead horse.

I have some hope for Black Ops 2 but not much.

Overall I find BF3 to be the superior multiplayer shooter.

Title should have been MW3 or wrestling a gorilla. I would choose wrestling the gorilla (with friends!!!!!)

both fun

BUT here my opinion

mw3 winner.

why

~ rent a server crap in bf3 has ruined the game for me,

~mw3 is more fluent

~ i prefer the more arcadish shooter

~ nice and fast pace

~ right out of the 17 maps. there is 2 more you can download for free online, if you get elite it last 1 year so it will even carry over black ops 2 BUT anyways there are tons of map to be download IF you. either way you have 0 trouble finding matchs

bf3 only has sp and mp but mw3 also has survival mode and spec ops and both of those have match making built into it to.

~ i prefer smaller maps keep the action going around the clock

~ you get perks of your choice to help become the player you want

~kill streaks are a blast

~some of bf3 maps are just too big you can end up walking around and sometimes don't find ppl

cod going get alot hate but the reason is more people out there. (more of something out there more people will talk)

you cant go wrong with ether one imo because it's what what you prefer.

nope just played a TDM first to 500 and everything worked fine on my ps3. God that was a great match even though my team lost still was fun. Also for the topic question BF3 by MILES.

MAG or Homefront.

I love pretentious BF fans who pretend BF is better in this regard.

I don't know.

But COD all the way.
