EA: Battlefield 3 versus Modern Warfare 3 is most important battle in a decade

EA CEO John Riccitiello says that Battlefield 3 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 represents a clash of the titans in the games industry and he feels good about EA's position in the fight.

Well I don't know bout anyone else but I believe BF3 will be the catalyst for the downfall of the CoD series.

No rehashes, actual good gameplay. Battlefield 3 won this battle before it began.

Ha, right. Which will dominate? Typical modern era shooter A or typical Modern era shooter B. Choose carefully, One has betterer graphics so obviously it's the better one.

I swear, Battlefield 3 is closest gaming example of people acting like it's the second coming Christ.

MW3 will crush BF3 on consoles. BF3 will crush MW3 on PC. COD is too popular to crush with one game. i5750at4Ghz

I'm inclined to agree

Will BF3 kill MW3 in sales, no

Will the momentum start to shift away from the ageing franchise, yeah

Its not as exciting largely because SWOR has no chance.

I can't wait to come back to all these CoD vs. BF threads in three years time when everyone is bashing Battlefield for being another milked, unoriginal bro-shooter franchise.

LMAO, you come here acting all smartass when infact your unbelievably ignorant. Typical modern shooter? Have you seen the power of the Battlefield 3 engine and the immense online gameplay the Battlefield games offer?

WoW is starting to show its age. I think The Old Republic can put a dent in WoW's popularity. It looks better, BioWare's working on it, and has the Star Wars name in it. I'll probably even The Old Republic a chance. Star Wars geeks like can miss out on games like this. ;)

Battlefield 3 will definitely be the better game but MW3 will sell tons more

I meant in terms of the money being invested into SW:TOR. Surely they would want a large piece of WoW's userbase.

Its the true sequel to Battlefield 2, a game we have been waiting for like 5 years now. Huge 64 player maps, amazing destruction and physics engine, insane animations, all vehicles including jets and on top of all that a coop campaign. Its literally better in every single way.

That's because Call of Duty is the Antichrist.

Go DICE!!

[QUOTE="argetlam00"]

[QUOTE="vashkey"] The engine, case in point. It's going to play the same but it's just such a huge deal since it has better graphics. I promise you, gameplay wise it's not going to do anything significantly different than past Battlefields.vashkey

There is a reason its a sequel. It introduces a ton of new features on top of the ones already had in Battlefield 3. Have you heard of coop campaigns in battlefield games? No you haven't.

And Battlefield finally incorporating co-op campaign, a standard feature games have been including for much of this console generation is not impressive. Even if the morons are Infinity Ward and Treyarch still don't do it.

[QUOTE="argetlam00"]

[QUOTE="vashkey"] Oh boy, better graphics and more vehicles. Thats definitely not standard sequel fare. 64 Players? Oh man, Battlefield 2 didn't do that already or anything. Le gasp! Co-op campaign, now that revolutionary! I've never heard of such a magical feature!vashkey

Perfect World has 50 million people worldwide, in all versions. Look at League of Legends, for another example..

There are thousands of MMOs out there, be it RPGs, Racing or shooting. MMO games are the most popular form of gaming on the planet.. since Ultima Online.

I actually think MW3 will outsell Blackops.... Many who play Blackops do consider COD4, and MW2 the betters games. I dont see sales slowing down. I do think BF3 will sell a lot as well more that BC2 at least.

[QUOTE="-RocBoys9489-"][QUOTE="vashkey"] But nothing Battlefield 3 is doing is particularly special. Just better graphics. Not saying it wont be good but to suggest that which will sell better is important is bull crap. The world and the game industry will not change from it and certainly not an a positive or negative way. They're just making an new Battlefield, they aren't changing the world.i5750at4Ghz

Lol what? Show me a game that has a physics engine at the level of battlefield 3 along with the destructibility of it. Also, show me a shooter that has better audio and animations? I'm waiting....

[QUOTE="-RocBoys9489-"] You're talking about the console version.

WAW had coop. Its not that important

I do believe cod has better audio, many will dissagree, but cod games always got an award for their animation, everyone ignored that, when i said it so many times, its funny that now it started to matter.

CoD game's animations are extremely prebaked and don't come across during multiplayer or in general gameplay, just during their scripted events. Though the single player in CoD is pretty much 100% scripted events that have you hit X to blow something up. The audio in CoD is also terrible. All of the guns sound like toys and are not effected by the environment.

[QUOTE="dakan45"]

[QUOTE="vashkey"] Its BF2 with better graphics and modern aiming mechanics. So far all they showing is a cod ripped SP
