"Overview - There in one game in the top 20 to be in its final week before launch, Catherine (PS3). The top five games include Gears of War 3 (X360), Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (X360), Battlefield 3 (X360), Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (PS3), and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (X360). The top 16 games have 100,000 or more pre-orders, the same as last week. Three games add 50,000 or more pre-orders, up from one last week and six add 20,000 or more, up from three last week."
Battlefield 3's former Lead Designer has revealed that there were two cut missions from the main campaign
Get rid of campaigns, move the game to mobile, and try to compete with warzone. They would save time and money.

Players are using hacks to gain an advantage in the game, such as aimbots and wall hacks. The first gives a player superhuman aiming abilities, while a wall hack lets you see through walls to gauge where other players are.
“These hacks are typically used by PC players, but those playing on PC via Xbox Game Pass are identified as Xbox players in multiplayer lobbies.”
This is pretty dumb to say the least.
That's a WTF, they suppose to be labeled as pc users even if its on PC game pass. They mess that up big time.
If AI keeps getting better (and it will) it's just a matter of time before there's more sophisticated cheats even for consoles, and they wouldn't even need to be running on it, I have little doubt about that.
Don't Gamepass online games have anti-cheat systems?
If not, that's pretty dumb. Microsoft need to fix that asap.
They won't ever fix this problem, unless they (developers, publishers, Sony and MS) go after the cheat providers directly. You no longer need to hack consoles to use hacks. During the ps360 days, they were going after cheat devices, but it was a cat and mouse game. These cheating methods were around during those days, it's nothing new, but they kept it under control. Since the PS4/Xbox one generation, they stopped going after these cheating devices and it became widespread. Which I find odd, since they started charging for online play (PS4).
Possibly, this is because the companies were going after cheats because the same cheats were being used to pirate the games, whereas today, the companies use online verification to prevent piracy, thus eliminating the need to go after people who cheat only to gain an advantage in the game. As long as the cheater remains below the radar, and does not completely break the game, the companies look the other way as their wallets are not threatened by it. (that is my completely Uneducated opinion on the matter)
I mean, COD games was always filled with hackers, nothing new. I can’t blame MS on this. Activision had years to try and fix this. Might take MS some time to make some change.
It all depends…
Microsoft’s guidance on how to handle gamepass on pc and their love to force crossplay with pc seems like a them issue.
And they own activision, so it is still a them issue.
Gears of War 3 is going to be huge. There is still 9 more weeks until launch and it is at ~1.2 million preorders in America alone. That doesn't even count people that are just going to pick it up in the first week without a preorder and people in other countries.
Very sad PS3 users don't support as much Uncharted 3 as xbox users support Gears 3.
Lot of these users are just counting their exclusivities on forums for console war but when it comes to spend money on them only a few go for the day one buy.
130 000 pre-ordered for U3, that's a shame.
Supporting a game, it's not making comparison to see wich has the best graphics or best IQ.
Supporting a game is going for it day one.
Really hope uncharted 3 gonna be supported by this so called community, better leave all your forums and this time just buy or preorder this game, because it deserves it.
I think U3 in terms of preorder will never top Gears 3, but it can do better than those 130000 preorders.
poor uncharted. uncharted 2 sold 4 million, probably 5-6 million lifetime. gears 2 lifetime is 6 million. so what the f*ck are you talking about? gears 3 in the end will not sell over 6 million. uncharted 3 maybe 1 million less
Gears 3 has a $20 credit on amazon, I wouldn't have preordered without it
Who cares what the pre order chart says. I'm buying day one and so will thousands of others. Also I don't wanna sound like a fanboys but I think ps3 users have wider range of games compared to 360 users which could be why gears is quite high.
Overall I'm just saying ps3 has more quality exclusives this year ... Don't care if 360 users hate on me for that but apart frOm froza, halo and gears, there's not much from the xbox this year for exclusives while since the start of 2011 ps3 had
littlebigplanet2, killzone3, infamous2, motor storm apocalypse socom4 and still to come resistance 3, uncharted 3, ratchet and clank, last gUardian and twisted metal
