Five Reasons Why Battlefield 3 Won't Outsell Modern Warfare 3

This is a response message to all the threads lately, claiming that Battlefield 3 has a chance to outsell Modern Warfare 3, as in 'If BF3 outsells MW3...'. That is, realistically, impossible. And the (five of many) reasons for this, are: 1. Modern Warfare 3 is the sequel to a 27-million-selling blockbuster (to say the least).. Battlefield 3 is the sequel to Battlefield 2. Battlefield 2, according to Wikipedia, sold 2.25 million units. 27 million vs. 2.25 million; I'll let you do the math. 2. Bobby Kotick stated that Activision has seen an 'unprecedented demand level of demand for Modern Warfare 3'. This is based on preorders from retailers around the world, the amount of beta testers and google searches. 3. 7 million people daily play Call of Duty. This is an absolutely unprecedented number, and far, far, far above the Battlefield franchise (or any other series, for that matter). This even makes the previous FPS champion, Halo, look like... nothing. Imagine what all these 7 million are going to do when Modern Warfare 3 hits shelves... 4. The gameplay of Call of Duty (fast, intense, full of action, concentrated, all-consuming) simply appeals to more gamers around the world, than Battlefield's slow, more realistic gameplay. This does not necessarily make BF a bad series, but it's the truth. 5. GameStop reported that the MW3 preorders had already beaten Black Ops' preorders (Black Ops became GameStop's biggest ever launch), giving us a sign that it's going to be absolutely monstrous this November. Why don't we ever hear about BF preorders? Why does DICE always talk crap about CoD pre-launch, but never mention the sales status for its upcoming game? Ask for links if necessary, can't link normally.

1) He said 5 reasons why battlefield will be better then mw3 and graphics is one of those reasons
2) battlefield doesnt have slow gameplay, yes its not as faced paced as COD but it sure isnt slow.
3) not sure really
4) On the quake engine? prepare for random walls disappearing into thin air
5) Frostbite 2 is a better engine then the one that MW3 is running on, there for it is better then Call of duty.
again he stated the reasons why battlefield is better then Call of duty, and 4 of those reason are correct.

1. Yet, graphics don't make a game better. Remember Crysis? Yeah. 2. You obviously never played BC2... Yes, the gameplay is really slow compared to Call of Duty. While this is not necessarily a bad thing, the majority of gamers prefer action, thus CoD. 3. By your logic, it is. 4. Uh, it uses the same engine as MW2, and IW nailed the graphics with Modern Warfare 2, so nothing else needs to be said here. 5. No, having a better engine doesn't automatically make a game better, try again...

oh dear

1) Battlefield has better graphics then mw3.....not sure about your argument...

2) no slow gameplay isnt a bad thing.

3) uh?

4) yeah the quake engine, you said fully destructible enviroments, which the engine cant do, not sure what that has to do with graphics..

5) frostbite 2.0 is superior to Mw3 engine, tech wise and graphicly,

these are thing that Bf3 has over cod, [in tech anyway]

im really not sure what you are doing here, its some form of poor trolling but im not really sure, and btw RTWAAA isnt having alts against the TOU?

also to say i cant be bothered anymore, im going to hype skyrim..

1. Doesn't make BF3 better. Also, on consoles, MW3 trumps BF3. Yet runs on 60 FPS, whereas BF3 players are stuck at 30. 2. Yes. It's... boring. 4. Doesn't make the game better. 5. Doesn't matter. So, what you're basically saying, is that BF3 will be better than MW3, graphically and technically, yet run at 30 FPS if you don't own a high-end computer? That's it? No wonder why nobody cares about BF3 IRL....
