GameZone's Matt Liebl writes, "Although his comments likely reflect what many of us are thinking, I think we are all even more tired of the fact that EA keeps yapping their trap about Activision. This goes back to the whole Battlefield 3 vs Modern Warfare 3 showdown that happened towards the end of last year. Look, Activision won. Regardless of whether or not you consider their game better or worse, the fact is it sold better...A LOT better than Battlefield 3."

I love how up in arms everyone is getting just because one major company said a few nasty words about another major company. Do you people own stock or something? They're companies competing for the same playerbase. They're going to fight. Deal with it, ninnies.
I'm just crossing my fingers that BO2 takes its inspirations from BO and not MW3.
They buy it after getting hyped, then complain endlessly about the final product which is why I declare this everytime a new COD comes out since MW2...

COD sells stupidly well
i like BF and CoD so i got nothing to worry about,i just hope one day cod gets better graphic.
any way Zombie mode in the future FTW
Now do sales equal quality? Well that's all personal opinion.
I have no idea where exclusives or consoles came from?
Look at other industry, such as music, and movies.
If sales are more important than quality, that would mean Titanic, Harry Potter, and Toy Story 3 would be some of the best movies of all time. And Justin Beiber, Maria Carey, and The Backstreet Boys would be some of the best artists of all time.
Ya see what I'm getting at?
It's time to realize that as gaming-enthusiast, Call of Duty is trash, and hurts our industry. The way it can improve so little, yet sell records amounts is disrespectful almost - we're letting them set a awfully low standard for our future.
COD games suck end of story.
Top five highest grossing video games over five days
1. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 ($775m)
2. Call of Duty: Black Ops ($650m)
3. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 ($550m)
4. Grand Theft Auto IV ($500m)
5. Halo 3 ($300m, seven days)

But when you look at the metacritic (if you care) then you see the scores not reflecting the sales. So based on those figures and scores one would think that gamers/fanboys aside, the majority buys the game but the majority doesn't like it. That goes against logic...
Metacritic: http://www.metacritic.com/g...
Are they over-priced? I would say yes they are but the fact is people are willing to pay for it so why would they lower the price like we see in the blood-battle PC market?
As for COD they have created a formula that works. Gran Turismo has done that too as has the Halo franchise and so on. All 3 of those franchises have also done very well over the years with critics, and I'm not talking about Metacritic where any moron with a keyboard can vent.
Now my comment to the people at EA is also to shut-up. Make your own games and stop worrying so much about Call of Duty. It reeks of desperation. Yes the franchise controls the market but that's why you need to work harder. It's also ironic coming from a company such as EA to say take a year off. If only they could say the same thing about their own franchises, especially the sports games. I would love for them to take a year off, maybe games like Tiger Woods and Madden might be worth $60 again. How many Need For Speed games have we seen recently? Most games could benefit from multi-year development cycles but it's all about money and Activision has more than one development team working on call of Duty games. It's not like they are made in a year each year. Call of Duty games are actually on a 2 year cycle but with two teams working independently.
I say MW best CoD series.
This Black Ops 2 2025?I don't think so....
they are more famous for taking great series and destroying them.
i.e the command and conquer series
and lets be honest Crysis 1 > Crysis 2
Battlefield 2 > Battlefield 3
Dragon Age > Dragon Age 2
Mass Effect 2 > Mass Effect 3
Sim City 4 > Sim City Societies
... among others.
i.e High Moons Transformers series with the upcoming Fall of cybertron.
They may have won as far as sales are concerned but just because you sold more of them doesn't make it a better game, just the more popular choice. honestly its not a fair comparison because COD is arcade style action and BF is more simulator teambased gameplay.
COD caters to all the fast paced run and gun bust up in the place like rambo players and BF caters to the calculated strategic team players.
Honestly this guy needs shut up and just accept the gaming business for what it is, a nonstop challenge to create a bigger a better game (which is what EA did with BF3) or make a couple expansion packs for a game that has yet to greatly improve it;s own game engine (Activision)
I still haven't been able to re-download my Back to Karkland dlc after the last update - it constantly just freezes my PS3 and also more game modes would be nice. Sometimes it's fun to play games other than TDM, Rush and Conquest. All the major FPS games have a huge variety of MP game types which BF3 doesn't have.
Fact-your still going to buy it for its mp
Im hoping medal of honor evens the field this year but face it, with all the drunk druggie talking losers on cod, its always going to sell. the cod players, majority, dont strike me as the type of people who really care what they are playing lol I cant stand more then 15 minutes of mp and about 1 minute of chat on cod but i still throw it in time to time to see how much worse it has gotten lol The demographic of players is comedy on cod titles. always makes for a quick laugh in a lobby. f-u and your mom and then the 40yr old guys mom telling him to get a job. good times
