Bad Company 3!!!!!

You Mean the Alaskan Invasion into the U.S the sequel to Bad company 2,the game that's not out for another few years....or were you reffering to the most-hyped First-person shooter since halo 3? BATTLEFIELD 3 the sequel to battlefield 2

Modern Warfare 3 looks promising as well.

OP is obviously talking about Battlefield 3. That being said, I have been boycotting Activision ever since the whole Infinity Ward debacle, so I wouldn't buy MW3 no matter how great it looked. Lucky for me though, it doesn't look any better than the last 4 CoDs they have put out, whereas BF3 is looking like it will be the strongest BF game in the series.

The play style is quite different.

Battlefied has much bigger maps, more players, tanks, jets and choppers.

COD is smaller maps, focus on close combat, kill streaks, quicker games.

Besides Battlefield involves teamwork and in order to win something you must work as a team. Unlike MW3 where you pretty much run quickscoping everything you see.

As much as I dislike saying so, I agree with Onibokusu. MW3 and BFBC3 are essentially going to be the same, and both will lack innovation, quality, originality and playability. Basically: If you have played one CoD Modern Warfare then you have seen them all, same goes for BF.

This pretty much, BF3 is going to be amazing if the gameplay videos are anything to go by. MW3 is pretty much MW2 with slightly tweaked graphics and different guns. Almost like a sport franchise like a new FIFA game every year.

I was silly and got both MW2 and Black Ops...I won't be making the mistake again!

I disagree because the graphics, physics and overall "realistic" feel of BF3 will be raising the bar rather than the recycled graphics/gameplay of the past 4 CoD games. You could easily make your case against the story of the game though, you can only do an American soldier in whatever-stan so many times before it becomes old. Fortunately for myself, I play these games as much for story as I do tetris.

Realism? Really now?

Both CoD and BF are arcade shooters, they both play exactly the same, have the same concept, the only essential difference is that one of the two has tanks.

Perhaps you are perceiving my "realistic" statement(which I had in quotes for this very reason) in a different way that I'm talking about. I'm not talking about realistic combat, I'm talking about a realistic look. As in focus on rifle recoil, dynamic lighting, realistic character movements, etc. I am in no way trying to suggest that the combat(scale/playstyle) is as realistic as say ARMA.

Could a mod change the OP's post to say Battlefield 3 instead of Bad Company 3. The game is a successor to Battlefield 2, not to the Bad Company series.

Maybe Battlefield 3, it looks like the only decent PC friendly FPS we might be getting. Though I might just hold out until we get a Battlefield 2142 sequel.

Wat.

I'm pretty sure Battlefield 2 came out over 2 years before Call of Duty 4, so the "modern combat" thing was nothing new when CoD4 came around. Regardless, nobody has said that CoD4 was a bad game, most people actually praised it(including myself). The problem is that CoD has done practically nothing to improve itself. The past couple of CoD games are mere carbon copies of CoD4 and piggyback on its success.

Wolfenstein and Doom would like to have a word.


Anyways, They're likely both going to be great games for games of their "type" that is, mainstream FPS.
Personally I'd go with BF3 over MW3 simply because the PC version is infinitely superior to the console versions of BF3 and ANY version of MW3. 64 player MP? Check. Massive maps? Check. Destructible enviorments? Check. Custom servers? CHECK.

Whats that MW3? You have EXCLUSIVE map packs on the 360? Well guess how many fucks I give? Exactly, NONE.

I'll inevitably end up buying both, BF3 for the PC because I need a good shooter to last me a few years (like COD4, BF2 and CS still do) and MW3 because I've played the past two and enjoyed them (at least until I played a few hours of the multiplayer in MW2, MW1 has exceptional MP). And seeing as Activision has been sucking the Xbox dick in terms of DLC I'd probably just pick up the 360 version, especially since most of my non BF3 friends will be playing on that and playing with friends is always fun :D

Not only because of how much I loved MW2, and How awesome the CoD games was.
But, Because the Very First CoD Game, was my First FPS. Believe it or not, I played CoD 1 Before Counter Strike. Not Kidding.

Nah, That's just cause all "the cool kids" in Elementary school play COD nowadays. I only play with friends or on the PC, that way I avoid most of them. Sadly it seems BF3 might suffer from the same problem since they're trying to appeal to the COD audience as well as the BF one. Sticking to PC for that.

But outside of this, anything Battlefield related hands down. If I'm getting a "realistic" arcade shooter, I'd rather have the best looking and playing one. If I wanted a circus of special skills and powerups, I'd just replay Timesplitters 3.

I'm gonna go with MW3. I've played both black ops and battlefield bad company 2, and I find I'm more suited to the fast paced gameplay of black ops whereas I suck balls on bad company 2. It all comes down your style of play. I know some of you will say Battlefield is more realistic, and I agree. If you watch a gameplay video of black ops or mw2, you'll find that the game isn't realistic at all when it comes to how people play, cause chances are in actual war, no one's gonna charge out into the battlefield, guns blazing and risk getting shot. I'll be getting MW3, simply because I like the fast paced style better. But I can't deny that Battlefield's gameplay trailer at E3 was awesome.

I still don't understand why people even compare BF3 and MW3. It's like comparing Lebron James and Kobe Bryant, which is impossible cause they play different positions. Just like how BF3 and MW3 have different gameplay styles.

Probably because EA has said multiple times they aim to take down CoD with BF3, so it's impossible not to compare them when their publishers are jockeying for each others market share.

How exactly is BF3 betraying its fans lol? If anything, DICE is redeeming itself by going back to its BF2 roots(which was its most revered accomplishment).

But Bioware made the KotOR series, and Pandemic did Battlefront, and it's not like Lucasarts only licenses out one game per year or something. No, they firmly believe they can't make cash without using the Kinect, Wiimote, or Move, so it's more poorly-coded lightsaber fights.

It seems like we only get one Star Wars gamer per year though. But I forgot about the Pandemic part, they're closed aren't they? They should license out the the Battlefront franchise to DICE.
