Battlefield 3 vs. Modern Warfare 3 – A Generation Gap?

"Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3 are the two biggest juggernaut shooters, set to collide this fall. Call of Duty franchise is, without any shadow of a doubt, the Undisputed King of multiplayer shooters on consoles and PC right now. Many shooters in the past few years, have tried to dethrone COD but have failed miserably. But this year, Battlefield 3 is all set to take Modern Warfare 3 head on. It’s closest we’ve seen a war shooter coming to a COD game in terms of overall quality and production values. While it would be next to impossible for Battlefield 3 to outsold Modern Warfare 3 but in terms of quality, BF3 is right up there."

HELL YEAH! BF3 looks way too next gen

chriski3334619d ago

after seeing the mw3 footage 2day all i can say is battlefield 3 wins

iamnsuperman4620d ago (Edited 4620d ago )

At least make it fair and compare gameplay screenshots from the consoles. Then they are on at least the same generation of hardware. COD is a console game, BF is a PC game

Pandamobile4620d ago

They are both multiplatform games

iamnsuperman4620d ago

I meant because all COD footage is console footage and in the last months it is ported to PC (as it is mainly a console game anyway) its a little unfair to be comparing screenshots to a game that is run on really expensive hardware a large majority will never afford. I still think BF3 footage on the PS3 looks better I was just stating at least make it fairer.

evrfighter4619d ago (Edited 4619d ago )

blame activision for not releasing pc shots then.

It's on them if they want people comparing next-gen bf3 to their 360 build of mw3. It's about appealing to the masses and since Battlefield is primarily a pc title...

what's the problem?

Assassin Nawabi4620d ago

Graphics are not everything you know...

3GenGames4619d ago (Edited 4619d ago )

This. But still, in today's world with multiplayer first that's hard to screw up, they mean much more today.

Dart894619d ago

Yea we know but for the best selling game of all time you would think they would have a new engine to give it some better graphics damn game looks like it's still from 07.

IM_A_NINJA4619d ago

MW3 looks NOTHING like COD4. Please be at least be realistic if your going to say something negative about the game. It's not as good of a graphical improvement as MW2 was over COD4, but look at all the internal struggle IW had, if they can give us a fun game that plays more like COD4 and looks like MW2, who is going to complain? There are far more important things then graphics when it comes to games.

Comparing PC graphics in all the BF3 trailers to 6 year old hardware in the Xbox 360 footage for the MW3 trailers isn't really smart to do IMHO.

neonlight454619d ago

Dedicated servers also. I mean Killzone 3 hasn't sold 1/2 of what COD4 has and they have dedi servers.

death2smoochie4619d ago

But it helps...especially when most other games this generation look miles better

RedDead4619d ago (Edited 4619d ago )

Yeah but the reason I look forward to Battlefield is the gameplay. The graphics were a shocking surprise but there we have it anyway, Bad company dropped some stuff to add some new things, now we have everything good about BF2 and everything good about bC2 put into one game. Along with the graphical and destruction upgreades.

ALFAxD_CENTAURO4619d ago

BF3 offers more than just Graphics, is better in every aspect.

One of the games has shown 100% high end PC trailers, while the other has showed 100% Xbox 360 footage with it's trailers. Gotta give it to EA on being slick with this tactic. MW3 for me all the way though.

IM_A_NINJA4619d ago

Not sure why you have disagrees Raven. All the Battlefield 3 trailers have been PC. It's not really fair to compare the two games, I think they are targeted at totally different audiences, of course I think EA obviously wants some of what COD get's, just not sure they will get it.

Pandamobile4619d ago

Can you seriously blame them for wanting to show off the game as it's meant to be played?

They've put 4 years of work and tens of millions of dollars in development, R&D, and production to get BF3 to where it is now. Why, why do you want them to ignore that?

They want to show off the game the best they can. And that's what they're doing.

Hufandpuf4619d ago

even the PS3 version of BF3 looked better.

chaldo4619d ago

MW2.1* We saw the new trailer today :)

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

melons15d 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.

Gridknac15d 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.

X-2313d ago

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

Christopher29d 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_vulgaris29d 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”.

OtterX29d ago (Edited 29d 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.

Palitera29d ago

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

fsfsxii29d ago

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

crazyCoconuts29d 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

OtterX29d 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

Knightofelemia29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

Cheech just looks so wrong in the picture.

Profchaos29d ago

Why just why. cod up in smoke

anast29d 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.
