If you like MW3 than that's cool and all but I just don't understand how people could possibly think it's better or even on the same level as Battlefield 3. If you look at both games it becomes very clear that Battlefield 3 gives you the best value for your money.

Battlefield runs on dedicated servers, MW3 runs on laggy p2p

Battlefield has a higher play count, MW3 same old small number

Battlefield 3 has bigger maps

Battlefield 3 has destructable environemnts, MW3 does not

Battlfefield 3 has a wide range vehicles, MW3 has nothing

Battlefield 3 has better graphics and is on a more powerful engine, MW3 is the same old COD engine and graphics

Battlefield 3 is more realistic like bullets dropping over long distances ect.., MW3 is all about shooting two guns at once and knifing a guy 10 feet away

Battlefield 3 has FULLY customizabel weapons, MW3 just has the same old attachments

Battlefield 3 developers give things to their customers for free and don't charge for stupid stuff, MW3 will have the same rehashed 5 maps for 20$ and will chage for elite mode

Overall it's pretty obvious that Battlefield 3 is the superior product and the one that is more worth your money in terms of content and quality. If you are going to buy MW3 then that is perfectly fine, but I just don't understand how someone could think it's better than Battlefield 3.Just go watch the gameplay videos and you will see that MW3 has nothing on Battlefield 3 besides popularity, which btw does NOT equal better.

Because they think MW3 is better ? Plus I like not being shafted out of a game for buying or renting a used game.

Battlefields SP sucks in comparison to the master COD SP. Oh and COD is faster gameplay. Get in and play, small maps to remember, easy controls. BF3 is just a way different experience, I myself don't compare them. Getting them both though.

People will buy MW3 over BF3 because they dont have the skill to play more difficult games like Battlefield.

Battlefield runs on dedicated servers, MW3 runs on laggy p2p TBH I've felt more lag in Battlefield games compared to CoD, EA has awful servers.

Battlefield has a higher play count, MW3 same old small number Doesn't necessarily make the game better

Battlefield 3 has bigger maps same as above

Battlefield 3 has destructable environemnts, MW3 does not same as above

Battlfefield 3 has a wide range vehicles, MW3 has nothing same as above

Battlefield 3 has better graphics and is on a more powerful engine, MW3 is the same old COD engine and graphics same as above

Battlefield 3 is more realistic like bullets dropping over long distances ect.., MW3 is all about shooting two guns at once and knifing a guy 10 feet away same as above

Battlefield 3 has FULLY customizabel weapons, MW3 just has the same old attachments same as above

Battlefield 3 developers give things to their customers for free and don't charge for stupid stuff, MW3 will have the same rehashed 5 maps for 20$ and will chage for elite mode I wanna know which proper map pack did DICE give to us free of charge

Overall it's pretty obvious that Battlefield 3 is the superior product No it's not

I don't hate MW3 or anything, and if it's fans enjoy it than that's all good. But I'm just wonderinghow someone could possibly think it would give you more value for your money compared to what Battlefield 3 is offering...

Tc, i have wondered the exact same thing as well.

COD and activisionhave** tricked its people into thinking its the "BEST" thing out there, when it clearly isnt.

Haha, you said Battlefield is more laggy than COD. LOL! Have you played any battlefield games on the PC? Even on the consoles, COD runs on P2P servers.

OMG, thanks for pointing that out! Obviously I never actually liked a call of duty game, I was tricked into it by advertising! I must be so weak-minded!

Is there any doubt EA has awful servers at least on consoles? So many connection problems and frequent lag it certainly makes CoD p2p feellike a gift from heaven.

I don't know about you but I play Battlefield Bad Company 2 all the time on PSN and I don't get any lag or server disconnects at all. Mabey it's just your connection?

Battlefield runs on dedicated servers, MW3 runs on laggy p2p TBH I've felt more lag in Battlefield games compared to CoD, EA has awful servers. Lol I've never been kicked out of my game due to random stuff, or when host "change" occurs, etc in BC1,2. MW2 and bLack ops still continue to amaze me at how bad their servers are.

Battlefield has a higher play count, MW3 same old small number Doesn't necessarily make the game better. Yes, it might not make a game better but. It sure does add variety doesn't it. More players= more squads = more team work.

Battlefield 3 has bigger maps same as above. I see you don't play BF at all. The maps are large BUT the battles occur in small areas as well. For example, in rush, you're not all over the place, you have objectives and you go to that specific area. SO large maps + small maps is >> greater than only small maps.

Battlefield 3 has destructable environemnts, MW3 does not same as above. I don't get this post, either you're just trolling or just jealous. Its obvious destructable environments brings a whole new level of gameplay and tactics into the game. I would rather be able to choose goig through a door OR blowing up a wall and taking the back route. Simple. Destructable environments = better engine = variety > no destructable environments.

Battlfefield 3 has a wide range vehicles, MW3 has nothing same as above. Ill agree here that vehicles might not be what cod is going for BUT, having vehicles > not having vehicles. I can go on foot or fly, swim, go on boat, car etc. It adds more variety.

Battlefield 3 has better graphics and is on a more powerful engine, MW3 is the same old COD engine and graphics same as above. Now you're just getting rediculous. IM sure you wouldn't be saying this if COD has BF graphics. Graphics is a part of the game if you want to believe it or not. IM sure you wouldn't want to be playing COD on a 7 year old graphics engine ;)

Battlefield 3 is more realistic like bullets dropping over long distances ect.., MW3 is all about shooting two guns at once and knifing a guy 10 feet away same as above. Again variety, adding more realism and taking skill to get head shots, etc.

Battlefield 3 has FULLY customizabel weapons, MW3 just has the same old attachments same as above. Again, variety > less variety. Pretty simple logic.

Battlefield 3 developers give things to their customers for free and don't charge for stupid stuff, MW3 will have the same rehashed 5 maps for 20$ and will chage for elite mode I wanna know which proper map pack did DICE give to us free of charge

Overall it's pretty obvious that Battlefield 3 is the superior product No it's not. Definately is interms of the amount of work, graphics, sound quality, engine rendering, physics, etc. Its superior no doubt. BUT yes, it all comes down to being subjective.

My comments in green.

anyways, These two games are VERY and i mean very different interms of gameplay. One has a wholeload of gameplay features and much more variety, while the other one is fast paced, and hasless overall variety.

Well if a buy CoD used I get the entire game (on disk) if a buy/rent Bf3 used I get half a game (only SP) so you're wrong in that aspect.

How do you determine that you're getting less value for your money with COD over BF? If the fans are going to enjoy COD more and therefore put more time into COD then they're going to get a better value from buying MW3.

this guy probably skipped MW2, the worst connection / broken multiplayer ive ever experienced. I couldn't go 2 games without being kicked or for another random reason. Ex: localized error, or animation error. Etc.

beacuse call of duty is more mainstream. people follow the crowd, There are tons of shooters that come out every year that are 100x times better then CoD, yet becuase CoD has a large amount of fans who dont play other games [apart from the cod series] These shooters are pushed to the back and forgotten. And trust me, the fact that a large amount of kids play it is becuase its "cool" to play it due to i being very mainstream, take justin beiber 300mil hits on youtube, but the beatles have no where near that many views, why? becuase kids find that its "cool" to like mainstream music and then hate on other types of it. same goes for CoD And sorry if that was a bit hard to read.
