I'm not trying to join a bandwagon or anything but it's not even a competition for me. BF 3 actually tries to be new and it pushes PC tech. And the way that the two series are being handled, BF will be here for years to come while Modern Warfare will be either dead or a joke even among casual gamers.

That's what I am trying to get at.

Where is BF3 being NEW?

As for pushing tech, does EVERY game need to push tech or is it about story/gameplay etc?... Look at WoW, it didn't push tech but improved on the MMO formula and it succeeded.

You're joking there right..??

And how many big budget games this gen have been made primarily for the PC out there? Crysis & Crysis Warhead, Arma 2 and Witcher 2 and the upcoming Arma 3 come to mind and I'm grateful for them but that number still pales in comparison to the exclusives that the consoles are now getting. Which makes BF 3 that more special; as there are a few PC gamers out there who actually want to use our hardware for something more than higher resolutions, AA & AF.

In addition to that BF 3 will have 60 players, it's a pure pc game, unlike the Modern Warfare 3.

As for your second point, I agree that not every game has to push tech to be good, Dead Space 2 was a great game and that didn't exactly push any graphical boundaries. But it turns into a strawman when you compare it to a series like Call of Duty that's being Milked every year, as it will get old very soon. Using the same engine regardless of what little tweaks they can make to it within their small development time will get old fast. The new trailer that was released today looked much like the past two games. What I disliked most were how similar the animations were. In other words it's more like expansion pack material imo.

I agree that Story is important, but not everyone likes the heavily scripted stuff that the Call of Duty series has. And I don't see how Wow is in any comparable to Modern Warfare 3? It actually made the MMO genre fun and opened it up for many people while still retaining a lot of depth. And it's being expanded upon in a rational way.

As for your last point, no I wasn't joking, just look at Guitar Hero and Tony Hawk, both of which Activision ran into the ground until no one cared anymore. However I do think that Cod will have a bigger milking spree because of its genre.

If you think this new yearly entry in the Cod franchise is good, I'm not trying to say otherwise. What I was trying to say is that there are some elements in the Call of Duty series in how it's being handled as a franchise and techincally that are undeniable. And in comparison to BF3, the shooter that many pc gamers like me have been waiting for, those factors are only more glaring than ever before. No offense meant if you still enjoy the Call of Duty series.

I'm not trying to join a bandwagon or anything but it's not even a competition for me. BF 3 actually tries to be new and it pushes PC tech.

To be honest, no I personally wouldn't like it. I think every platform deserves it exclusives. But of course I wouldn't object to CDprojekt doing it, it's their business. But I have to question these somewhat ambiguous questions from mainly the console crowd when the question of porting even becomes "Why isn't being ported?", as it just reeks of self-entitlement. Especially when the fact that the developer is PC eccentric and independent - meaning they can actually have a single platform focus instead of having to listen to shareholders. They're not Microsoft or EA.

That may have sounded more bitter than it really was, but it's just something I've noticed. When have you have mainstream gaming sites asking in a interview for even a browser based PC game, if it will be on consoles, you just know that there's a force behind it.

I knew the Cinematic Trailer wouldn't match the game. This is obvoiusly way more of a arcadey romp than anything with a dramatic story narrative. It does look good for what it is though. As I think co-op would be a lot of fun in this open world setting.

It does look fantastic and I thought Arma 2 looked great. The PC is really showing its stuff now that we're heading towards the end of the generation. We've had Witcher 2 and now this also to look forward too.

Nice, I'm glad they're extending the deal for those who missed out. And for those worrying about the English version being sucky and having to resort to the Russian Version with English subs, believe me, you won't be missing anything. As the whole game is about how insanely big it is - there's nothing else out there like it.

If you're looking for the best coverage of PC games at Gamespot, you won't find it anymore as others have said. While I'm grateful that they've reviewed other PC games like the Indie Amensia, it's sad when a PSP game gets Video Reviewed days ahead of its release, while one of the biggest PC games of the Year gets an outsourced reviewer.. It's all about the Marketing $$.
