EA is clearly vying for Activision’s FPS crown and who can blame them given CODs success, its likely that Battlefield 3 will be released very close to the next COD. A confident move, however titles usually shift their release dates to avoid going head to head … it maybe fool hardy.
Ultimately, the competition between Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3 will start at E3, then we'll really see what each is bringing to the table.
Battlefield 3 could be the best thing since sliced bread and it's still going to get eaten alive by Modern Warfare 3.
Best not to be on the tracks when the train is coming ya dig?
I seriously doubt Battlefield 3 releases the same day. If anything it releases weeks before or weeks after. Even that wont be enough to dent MW3.
