DICE vs IW

To be honest, if the rumored consolization of Battlefield 3 occurs, I will hate DICE far more than IW. I'd probably lean towards DICE now though,

For now, I respect DICE more. Of course that's subject to change depending on what they do with BF3.

The last good DICE game was either BF2 or Mirrors Edge IMO, the last good COD game was COD4. So both companies now suck IMO.

To be honest, if the rumored consolization of Battlefield 3 occurs, I will hate DICE far more than IW. Right now, I guess DICE since BC2 is pretty good.

Even if it does get consolized, its still expected to be better than anything IW can pump out, especially now.

i say dice they seem to want to keep on improving bad company 2

Seconded. After MW2 and BC2, I'm not a big fan of either developer right now.

Dice, as I love Battlefield 1942 and Mirror's Edge. I don't really care for Battlefield that much anymore but I am interested in Mirror's Edge 2 and I hope they don't ruin it.

IW. Call of Duty still controls better than BC 2, and DICE janked a lot of features from Cod 4 to implement in BC 2. And then they made fun of MW 2 in game. Lame.

Easily Dice. Justinge3

I guess Dice, though the MOH beta was a piece of ******.

Unless they completely revamp and fix MOH there is no way I am getting MOH

If Battlefield 3 won't be a true sequel to battlefield 2 (BC2 was sort of BF2.5) ... than I won't really care much about either of them.

If battlefield 3 however turns out to be a great game and not held back by consoles (meaning large maps, 64 people, mod support, ...) which I'm sure DICE can do ... than DICE > IW.

So just because the game is going to consoles that means it will be consolized? The game could still be a true sequel to BF2 and not be consolized.

There are two things that can happen if Battlefield 3 goes multiplatform.

1) The game is developed by a team on consoles and ported to PC

2) The game is developed by seperate teams for consoles and for PC

I wouldn't be highly optimistic with option #2. Consoles will be holding back the PC version and the devs are going to dumb down the game for it to appeal to the console market and also butcher many features that could have been available on PC. Don't even get me started on the technical limitations.

Mag doesnt even come close to a 64 person server on pc. Plus...in mag you dont see many teams at the same time, and it ends up being more of a 32 person mp. Also, whenever a game is put on console it is consolized. Except bioware games and crysis 2, but we will see about that one.

Yeah, Frontlines and MAG have proven that console online games can offer the same level of depth if not more than in BF2. MAG in particular has a great tactical way to play with squad and platoons seperated, while the field commander option is reminiscent of BF2. It just seems like PC gamers are clinging to the old days of the 90's when PC's were the absolute hardcore of the hardcore and consoles weren't as perfected.

Also, you guys are WAY late to the party- BF3 has been confirmer for consoles and a beta for all systems (minus Wii of course) will be available with Medal of Honor.

WTF? Is this a trick question?

I do like IW, for COD2, and COD4, but DiCE made this so..

.

they get extra points.

I will give more respect to Dice since they make other games besides the Battlefield series while IW just does Call Of Duty. If I was working with IW I would hate it because I would like to develop different games instead of the same series over and over again.

its not battliefield 3...it will be bad company 3.....just wait they will just change the 4 main characters...BF series cant work well on a console,

IW. Call of Duty still controls better than BC 2, and DICE janked a lot of features from Cod 4 to implement in BC 2. And then they made fun of MW 2 in game. Lame.

COD 4 is better than any Dice game

Battlefield 2 says high.

Old DICE > New DICE> IW

Unless BF3 is a true sequel to BF2 and not dumbed down due to consoles then they will regain my full respect.

I guess Dice, though the MOH beta was a piece of ******.

IW for a smooth polished games. DICE for fun gameplay.

I played betas and know the final product is better, but that beta was in its own league of failure.

agreed, i been in beta for 10+ games and they all were better than that beta

Both are great devs...so for me its a draw !!

Personally i played much more the COD series compared to the BF series...

I see a lot of hate towards MW2, but in all honesty BF:BC2 was practically the same as BF:BC with a few 'new' additions... While i liked both MW2 & BF:BC2, I still expected more from both titles..

Neither has produced a game this gen that has run admirably online, so neither. When one does, I will go with them.

Care to give a list? Since I didint notice anything cod4 like in BC2. There was no perks or kill streak ablities.

Are you actually telling me that IW invented these? "Linear singleplayer campaign", hahahaha. Yeah, if any shooter has a linear campaign after CoD4 its automatically "jacked".

Call of Duty 4 likely jacked the medals and accolades from Battlefield 2. Along with the level up system.

Treyarch

I don't see why everyone hates DICE for going multiplat. As long as they don't forget their origins and completely blow off the PC, like somebody we know, then I am all for it.
