I'm getting both BF3 and MW3, I play ALL AAA titles, even the ones that are exclusive to consoles. I try very hard to like the BF games simply because I know they're suppose to at least have a little more PC support than consoles especially since EA wants to push Origin like a pregnant lady wants to push her baby out during contractions although the more I hear about it, the worse my opinion of BF3 has become and the better my opinion of MW3 has become, so BF3 started out as a 9/10 for me then slowly went down to 8/10, 7/10, and MW3 went from 4/10 all the way up to 7/10 for me from all the changes in gameplay and level design I heard about, it really sounds like they're catering to the top 5% of gamers, aka hardcore gamers and giving MW3 as the big fan service to the hardcore CoD fans that had to put up with this massive influx of casuals.
It just bothers me knowing that MW3 will be as good as BF3 on PC but only because Activision has 10x the resources that DICE does, not because they give a single damn about PC gaming, but at least I know MW3 will run well on PC unlike Camp of Duty: Lag Ops, and MW3 is suppose to be the most fast paced CoD game with almost zero choke points on any given map, all guns have stopping power so no need to waste a perk slot, and there are point streaks instead of kill streaks so team play is rewarded and all this is because they listened to the MLG Pros and youtube commentators' suggestions.
As for BF3, I played the alpha and I am really excited, and crossing my fingers hoping it will be more polished this time thanks to the bigger development budget. I'm a little disappointed that the Frostbite 2.0 engine does not handle real time physics calculations, but even the scripted/pre-rendered behaviors/destruction in BF3 look much better than BFBC2(IIRC DICE said objects will be composed of 5x more pieces than in BFBC2 so if a building was made of 40 pieces in BFBC2, in BF3 it will be composed of 200) and it will be strategically limited so gameplay will be much better balanced, however it will still be prevalent enough to prevent campers and let's just say, they're being about 9001% more professional with level/environment design this time around and they're pretty much embarrassing their past selves with a faster, more well designed, and better balanced game. I really hope BF3 can finally be a competitive game, what I mean is a game where the controls are tight, response time is good, and the gameplay is balanced enough for extremely good players to compete in tournaments and I also hope it's a huge hit on consoles, because lets face it, all that console gamer money will make the BF4 budget at least 2-3x larger than if it were a dedicated PC version.
My biggest issue with BF is the community, when you have an elitist community that peddles their smelly poo(BF games) like it's any better than other smelly poo(CoD games) it just makes me think terrible of these people and it seems like these guys are religious or something with the amount of cognitive dissonance they exhibit. People playing non-PC exclusives like BF, MW, Crysis, etc. should not even be allowed to thumb their nose at other gamers, this is a right reserved for people that play games like S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Call of Pripyat, DCS A-10C Warthog, ARMA II, Red Orchestra, The Witcher 2, etc.
