Wow, why more of these? Most of us are getting both games, the rest are getting just BF3. What more is there to say?

Chaos694653d ago

"Most of us are getting both games" I don't think so. Most of us are getting Modern Warfare 3, hence the sales this holliday season.

silver-surfer4653d ago (Edited 4653d ago )

LMFAO!!!! Your kidding yourself dude, Battlefield 3 will be out sold by both Halo Anniversary and Gears of War 3 let alone Modern Warfare 3 which will out sell Battlefield 3 by at least 6 - 1 (15 million plus for Modern Warfare 3 and 2 - 3 Million for Battlefield 3)

Sub-Zero854653d ago

Well sorry to burst ur lil Call of Duty bubble .... but gamestop has confirmed that Battlefield 3 is already outselling Modern Warfare 3 and neither game is out yet , so what does that tell u & besides sells .So lets just say if MW3 does outsell BF3 doesnt mean MW3 is the better game Call of Duty franchise sells well because of its name not because how good the game is Battlefield 3 > Modern Warfare 3

FragGen4652d ago (Edited 4652d ago )

MW3 will win the sales war. BF3 will be the better game.

As recently as June 6th the VP of merchandizing @ Gamestop announced that MW3 was on track to beat preorders for Black Ops which was previously the most preordered game of all time. The BF3>MW3 preorder thing was an unconfirmed rumor.

athmaus4653d ago

Most of my friends are really wanting to get BF3 over MW3. Personally i have always hated the control scheme for CoD games, wher eyou have to click and push in your thumb stick to run...laaame

DemonStration4653d ago

They're both good series, but there's definitely been a transition lately away from Call of Duty. I got SO many diehard CoD friends into Battlefield in the last few months. I still think MW3 will "win" in terms of making craploads of money, though.

gamingisnotacrime4653d ago

and the MW3 also prove the stronghold of CoD on the market

Simco8764653d ago

Try both and get the one you enjoy the most. Don't listen to anyone but yourself.

antz11044653d ago

Thank you Sensai.

Good point, its all personal preferrence. For me its not really MW3 vs BF3. Its MW3 v BF3 v Twisted Metal v Batman: AC v Gears3 v AC:R....on and on.Its going to be a kick ass fall; theres at least a potential blockbuster a week coming out over an 8 week period. Thats alotta money.

lance424652d ago

My wife is going to kill me come September. How am I going to explain to her why we can't pay our mortgage this month because of the 7-8 games I need to buy?

AngelicIceDiamond4653d ago (Edited 4653d ago )

This BF3 Vs Mw3 is getting really annoying flame wars, comment sections, blogs, articles. all across gaming media EA and Activision fighting, for godsakes even on Xboxlive I have 2 friends in the party chat who argue every night over which game is better and currently they're not speaking to each other. Its crazy and outta hand. Whatever I'm gettin both and gonna enjoy both I don't care it just needs to stop.

Call of Duty Players Disappointed by $80 B.E.A.S.T. Glove Bundle Deal

Recently, players of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone were met with a new bundle featuring the B.E.A.S.T. Glove, inspired by King Kong's armament in the Godzilla x Kong movie. However, the $80 price tag attached to this themed accessory left many Call of Duty fans feeling underwhelmed.

Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash

melons5d ago

Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.

Gridknac5d ago

They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.

I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.

Cheech And Chong Are Coming To Call Of Duty Because Everything Must Be Consumed

The famous comedy duo is the latest example of pop culture becoming one big grey blob

Christopher19d ago

Certain to have some sort of reference to their online store for CBD/THC chews, which is advertising heavily online the last month or two.

Sciurus_vulgaris19d ago

The randomness of the multiplayer characters is one of reason I quit playing COD after briefly returning in 2022. We got Space Marines, rappers, tree monsters etc. all in a series called “ Modern Warfare”.

OtterX19d ago (Edited 19d ago )

I think if there was ever a time for a competitor to rise up and take away some of Call of Duty's thunder, the time would be now. A military shooter that takes itself seriously, not sold out to Fortnitism. Easier said than done, I know... but the time is ripe.

I can't stand this stuff either.

Palitera18d ago

There are tons of MP shooters that make no profit, if you're looking for one of those

fsfsxii18d ago

You guys have been saying this shit since 2009. Fortunately, nobody’s bringing down cod anytime soon, if ever.

crazyCoconuts18d ago

I agree. I really didn't like how the silliness takes away the gritty origins. That and all the crazy effects... dunno. I'm still playing it but I'd love for someone to steal their cheese and cater to grittier players

OtterX18d ago

@fsfsxii It's not so much wanting COD itself to die as it is wanting this silliness to die. Like CrazyCoconuts said, it takes from the grittiness. Many OG COD players want a straightup Military shooter experience, not silly costume time at Carnival.

is this what the kids want these days a pair of iconic stoners who were big in the 70s and have kind of held on I enjoyed their movies decades ago but I never recall the movie where cheech infiltrates a enemy base while chong snipes for support guess I must of missed that one

Man I'm getting to old for this

Knightofelemia19d ago (Edited 19d ago )

Cheech just looks so wrong in the picture.

Profchaos19d ago

Why just why. cod up in smoke

anast19d ago

They charge too much for a game that is kitsch.

MW3 missed its easiest opportunity to give us some of the best Call of Duty maps ever made

From Bootleg to Black Box, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 made a heartbreaking mistake by not remastering the bizarrely forgotten maps from its namesake.
