With all the shit talking EA threw around, I'm pretty sure they are trying to beat COD on all fronts, otherwise why bother making a single player campaign at all and instead dedicate all their resources into refining multiplayer.
They probably added a perk to cause random nukes in games.I haven't looked into it but what is Modern Warfare 3 offering? Any new features, any major improvements?

It's 2011, this crap should be long figured out. Oh wait, many other games already did figure it out, over a decade ago even.I think its official BF just put the smack down on COD.
Seems the main problems right now have more to do with buggyness of the servers, getting kicked from games or dropped or whatever. I havent been having any problems with it but my friend gets kicked at the end of every second game, then he has to restart the game and rejoin the server. Hopefully this stuff gets sorted out.
Not to be a fanboy, but... buy it.
Well it's $51 on amazon download now. Will buy tonight and hope my mid range gamer (i7 930 with a gtx 480) can serve me well.
I'd say that's still relatively high end. I just picked up a GTX480, and it should preform on par with a 570, which runs BF3 relatively well.Well it's $51 on amazon download now. Will buy tonight and hope my mid range gamer (i7 930 with a gtx 480) can serve me well.

That's a mid-range gaming machine? I hope you're being sarcastic.

I don't understand the fanboism/hate.
Both are FPS shooters and both offer different things. Neither is perfect and they all have pros/cons.
Personally I enjoy both COD and Battlefield titles. I've spent plenty of time on both MW2 and BC2.
I can't say I'm not enjoying BF3 right now. It's a good game. Sure there is cons, but plenty of pros as well.
It's a f'in game, whatever.
From what I've read the game dynamics and graphics have been consolized and the much promised superior PC graphics didn't materialize. What a surprise, EA lying and making promises they never intend to keep. Not that I can blame them, even when the critics gave Duke Nukem the worst possible reviews idiots bought the game. At least COD doesn't pretend to be something its not and Acitivision isn't out to become the sleazebag monopoly of the gaming world. I'll stick with Steam for now and leave Origin to those deserving people who demand the lowest common denominator.

Im sure the BF fanboys will say BF has always put the smack down on COD but to that all I can say is BFBC2 wasnt even worth playing to me, lousy controls and sloppy game play.
But in BF3 they figured out how to do prone properly, unlike their dolphin diving fiasco of the past. And you can now run and look to the side, unlike BC2. Also, Im not sure if its just me being happy with the movement controls and letting that happiness spill over but it seems like the guns and shooting is crisper.

But overall I say job well done Dice.
Well, BF3 reviews are up, and not to pile on, but do you really need a review for MW3? The gameplay will be pretty similar to the first two, and still won't have dedicated servers for ranked play.
If it helps my E8400 @ 3.6 and a 9800 GTX+ play it fine on low settings with a few mediums at 1920x1200 so you should be fine.
Well, I never actually bashed MW3 in my post, but thanks for putting word in my mouth.gameplay in BF3 is pretty similar to every other BF3 game so why do you need a review for it?
I don't get this. you bash 1 game for doing something but like another game that does the exact same thing as the game you bashed. fanboy much?
The other thing that's hilarious is people complaining about games costing $60 and they gladly hand over $60 for BF3.
again, fanboy much?
So, let's keep a list:
1. Games that require always online connection for even SP? abhorred by members of this forum.
2. Games that cost $60? Zomg! no deal!
3. Games that don't change? Never going to buy again!
BF3 did all 3 of those but "it's the greatest game evar!11111!!1!1!!"
No idea how you can quantify this. It's only an opinion.
CoD will always win over BF3 in my opinion. BF3 gameplay sucks imo. I tried to get into the BF series but every single one plays the same and I hate it. It's clunky, slow, and full of idiots (not to say that CoD games don't have their fair share of idiots but it usually doesn't affect your teammates like it does in BF3).

A lot has changed between the last installments of BF, from BF2-->BC2-->BF3. If you were too busy getting sniped to notice, hey, not my problem.
I refuse to buy MW3 (and have since MW2), mostly for the lack of dedicated servers. I loved COD4 and WaW, but my interest has since waned.
I certainly prefer BF to COD, and always have, since I first played COD2. If other people like COD better, more power to them, they all have their reasons.
Have you actually played BF3? And you cant say COD will always win because you cant predict the future. I played BFBC2 shortly and thought it was slow and clunky and therefor didnt buy it when it came out. But BF3 brings the crispness of game play almost to the same level as COD and then adds on tons of stuff COD doesnt have. So ya right now BF > COD.
You have to UNLOCK flares and missiles for the jets they don't come with them.......
That's what I heard, and that is just lame.
Good job using a beta to come up with your ingenious conclusions... EA stated it was primarily for making sure their infrastructure was capable of handling the load of launching the game. Metro is not very indicative of most of the game play in the game. But let's not bring logic into this, that wouldn't go along with your agenda.I played the beta and knew it wasn't for me. It had the same issues I had with the previous BF series games so there's no point in wasting my money.
