As I stated years ago. COD is a fast paced quick game, Battlefield is a group strike, long paced game. It is no different than comparing Red Orchestra 2 to World at War.

There is no best FPS, RTS, RPG, console, PC, etc. The reason why? It is opinion based and always changing......

NuclearDuke4710d ago

There is a best FPS, RTS, RPG, console, etc. To each his own. One find what he or she likes better than the rest.

Some like Pepsi, some like Cola. The only reason between Sodas and Video Games is that the users of Video Games have to bitch about the product they do not like.

Saryk4709d ago Show
360ICE4709d ago

I bitch about Pepsi all the time.

Anyway, personal list:
Reason 1: No expectations
Reason 2: Not gonna buy it
Reason 3: Kinect support already disproved.

I'm sure it'll be okaaay.

StraightPath4710d ago

Well hopefully MW3 campaign will be much better then BF3s.

Ahh i remember the hype of BF3 and people bashing MW3 and look what happen...

Stewie2k84710d ago (Edited 4710d ago )

yes what did happen? battlefield 3s multiplayer has kicked modern warfare 3s ass already, i havent played modern warfare 3 but i have played every other 1 and we all know they are all the same. People also complainging about battlefield 3s single player are stupid, i dont know where to begin on that.

StraightPath4710d ago (Edited 4710d ago )

Well the thing is..COD and BF have two distinct multiplayer styles.

COD is focused on fast paced run and gun with quick reactions, that some people love and BF focuses on large combat on large maps with vehicles.

COD = Rambo
BF = Being apart of a bigger picture ( well somtimes you can be rambo and beast on i guess lol )

BF MP has not kicked modern warfares 3 ass as some people will prefer the fast paced nature then the slow paced running across large maps and getting into the action and getting sniped from someone that is camping in a bush on a hill 1 mile away lol..

All down to personal choice friend.

gorebago4710d ago (Edited 4710d ago )

lol @KiLLUMiNATi_89

i'm looking forward to it for the sole reason of playing new maps on domination mode

geth1gh4710d ago (Edited 4710d ago )

Yea, bf3 is all about muliplayer. To be honest, that is all I care about these days. I am so bored of playing with ai, no matter how epic the story line is.

Seriously, when you pay $65 for a game, are you going to be worried about the single player that you spend 8-12 hours on or the multiplayer that you spend 200+ hours on???

As for the bf3 kicking mw3 ass in mp comment, I guess we meant in originality because in no way can you say it is just a giant mod for the last battlefield.

As for cod, I have been saying that IS the case for every one cod4. So yea it might be a sweet gamestyle but after waw, mw2, and black ops, I am willing to say nothing will extremely new will be added to gameplay to mw3.

I mean if you like it, then cool. Not hating. I just personally get tired of repetitiveness. Not to mention I prefer playing a game that actually makes you feel like a badass in the middle of a very believable warzone.

Clarence4710d ago

What do you mean look what happen? BF3 sold 5m in a week great numbers. Know one in their right mind would think that It would outsell MW3.

As far as campaign goes... Its a small percent that play it. You actually think MW would sell like it does if it only a single player campaign.

IMO the campaign for FPS are boring. You save the world or country from alien invaders or foreign countries that invade. If you die you repeat that part of the level over while the AI does the same thing over.

The hype for BF3 was well deserve. Im enjoying every bit of it.
I remember how people bashed BF3 and look what happen 5m sold and still going.

MW is garbage, but thats my opinion.

Solidus187-SCMilk4710d ago (Edited 4710d ago )

HAHAHAH I bought dark souls for 20$ the day it came out and am finally at the last boss.... AND HAVE BEEN PLAYING FOR 70+ hours.

Games dont have to be multiplayer to get lots of hours worth of entertainment(although dark souls can be played with others too).

I am not excited for battlefeild of COD despite FPS being my favorite type of game.

But it is funny to see how suddenly single player doesnt matter and its "all about the multiplayer" when battlefield 3 comes out. Yet when the last COD games have come out people on this site and the internet as a whole bash constantly about the short singleplayer.

If its all about the multiplayer and SP doesnt matter than I guess COD is pretty good too right??/ Or does SP suddenly matter when COD comes out with a short one again?

Gazondaily4709d ago

"
Ahh i remember the hype of BF3 and people bashing MW3 and look what happen..."

What happened? We got a stellar multiplayer experience that completely eclipses Call of Duty. BF3 is head and shoulders above any Call of Duty game.

they are also uncharted fanboys I guess too right?

TheBlackMask4710d ago

Just because they give it a 10/10 score....you can't deny a good game.

They always go on about COD, hype it up, make it out to be amazing yet complain about it like the rest of the COD fanboys 5 months later. It will get a 9/10 score...

From 1:48 constantly play and pause until you get a clear image of the MW3 box at 1:49, what do you see?

The credibilty of IGN's opinion on this game is worth shit, not thats game reviews are worth anything to me, but some do point out some things such as game breaking bugs/ glitches etc.

WANNAGETHIGH4710d ago

20million fans think it won't dissapoint.

Gazondaily4709d ago

Yeah but who cares about Justin Bieber fans...

Oh no wait you were talking about MW3.

- I do hope MW3 is good; I reckon I'll get it on consoles if its good but I'm not getting my hopes up.

dirthurts4710d ago

While I am a Battlefield lover, I have to admit that some of the changes that the COD game has made, (eliminating killstreaks and moving to points is a big one) impress me with this tittle.
While there are only small tweaks to the game, and minimal visual improvement I still expect the game to be great.
I love Battlefield for what it is, and I enjoy COD for what it is.
Both great games and both will be enjoyed.

PSX994710d ago

where did you see they eliminated killstreaks?

geth1gh4710d ago

They are still there, it is just on a point system. So you get the streaks for kills and for actually doing objectives like capturing flags and what not.

As much as distaste I have for this game after the last few installments, I will say this is a great idea for people to be "team" players in game modes outside of team deathmatch.

Frood4710d ago

Modern Warfare 3 flooded with cheaters after arrival on Xbox Game Pass

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.

standard.co.uk
Jin_Sakai56d ago (Edited 56d ago )

“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.

Cacabunga55d ago

All about them headshots for Xbox

blackblades55d ago

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.

XiNatsuDragnel56d ago

Oh bad this will be entertaining to watch

Number1TailzFan55d ago

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.

lelo2play56d ago

Don't Gamepass online games have anti-cheat systems?
If not, that's pretty dumb. Microsoft need to fix that asap.

Rynxie56d ago (Edited 56d ago )

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).

StormSnooper55d ago (Edited 55d ago )

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)

pwnmaster300056d ago

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.

Rude-ro55d ago

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.

StormSnooper55d ago

lol well that sucks.

Is there a reason this happened upon arrival on xbox?

Activision Reportedly Sold An AI-Generated Skin In Call Of Duty

The Yokai's Wrath bundle was released despite previous guarantees by Activision that A.I. would not be used for final assets, per the report. Instead, Activision assured developers it was simply for internal concepts. That, of course, was not followed through. For what it's worth, per the PlayStation Store, 2,400 COD Points cost $19.99, meaning players potentially spent real-life money on a skin that was not created by an actual human.

As far as A.I. use goes across Activision, a source told Wired that 2D artists are utilizing A.I. to aid their work. That is a result of mass layoffs, in which many 2D artists were impacted. “A lot of 2D artists were laid off,” the source named Noah said. “Remaining concept artists were then forced to use A.I. to aid in their work.” Mandatory A.I. trainings have been implemented, according to Noah.

I mean, is this even surprising?

just_looken58d ago

It is not ubisoft has a ai tool for crating stories/script's they even talked about npc's having there own ai speech like we see with those skyrim mods.

Ai is the future sadly which sucks in so many way's.

S2Killinit58d ago (Edited 58d ago )

Activision. And MS. They will ruin console gaming forever.

Oh and where the FRIGGIN outrage people? When Sony makes a remaster of a masterpiece single player story driven game, they get roasted. But this, this, goes unnoticed? Then don’t complain that you aren’t getting enough single player story games.

Ea and ubisoft also use ai

ea using ai for development threatening mass layoffs.

ubisoft ai for npc speech

Almost every big boy in the industry is using ai in some sort of way now

Oh and sony? well they are making spyware ai were they can see how long it took you to do X and adjust difficultly.

How is that a response to what I said? Are they also selling AI generated skins?

@S2Killinit

You never mentioned skins in your comment just stated its all microsoft's fault like so many others.

When like i showed they are late to the ball game as every other company is using or plans to use ai in various field.

If you combine everything then its getting closer to hitting a button and poof out comes a game no soul no passion nothing.

Right now its art/3d models/skins/writing/voice work some and coding can all be done via ai.

S2Killinit58d ago (Edited 58d ago )

That was the whole point of my comment, I wrote it in response to the article. Instead of focusing on making exciting games and developing talented developers, they are busy making AI generated skins that people are buying for huge sums of money. Then, some people turn around and shit on Sony when it tries to capitalize on single player classics by making remasters, and the same people then complain that they want more single player games. MS cannabalized the industry because they never thought making games was essential to their business. So, instead of nurturing theor own studios, they let them die, then went and shrunk the industry, hurting interests of every gamer in the world. Anytime there is a bad trend in the industry, MS is at the helm, leading the way. That is what I’m saying.

smashman9858d ago

I'm sorry but do you honestly believe Sony will sit out of A.I. Every executive at every one of these publishers is wetting themselves in delight at the prospect of A.I. You best believe that once we start seeing it spread throughout the industry Sony won't be too far behind. The only people we'll have to blame are the consumers themselves.

S2Killinit58d ago (Edited 58d ago )

No, I don't believe that Sony will not do the same. But, as I mentioned, MS is always the first to embrace such things and create the worst trends. Once they establish that this is the best way to make money, everyone else will follow. (Have to follow if they want to stay competitive)

thesoftware73058d ago

S2, and blackblades:

All from the Horse's mouth below.

"Artificial intelligence (AI) in video games is crucial for Gen Z and Gen Alpha, who seek “personalization across everything,” says PlayStation executive Asad Qizilbash."

“Advancements in AI will create more personalized experiences and meaningful stories for consumers.”

"He emphasized that AI could enable non-player characters to interact with players based on their actions, enhancing the personal connection within the game."

Yeah, Just MS and Activision...smh

S2Killinit57d ago

I’ve already explained myself twice. Quit your false equivalence, same thing the xbox fateful pulled before and after the ABK acquisitions. Which by the way, blew up in your faces real good. Now, doing the same thing when someone brings up MS’s nefarious behavior, defend them to the end, and watch them scorch gaming as they have been. At least rest of us can take consolation in that the smoke will go in your eyes before anyone else’s.

thesoftware73057d ago (Edited 57d ago )

"Quit your false equivalence, same thing the xbox fateful pulled before and after the ABK acquisitions. Which by the way, blew up in your faces real good."

I'm not sure what you are talking about, you seem to have a issue communicating, because we are on a post about using AI to create video games content, and you put that solely at the feet of MS and Activision, when it's being, and will be used industry wide, right from Sony mouth, I would say it's relevant...then you went on to give Sony a spit shine slob down about a masterpiece TLoU when this had absolutely nothing to do with Sony or TLoU, then you attempted to clean up your rambling spit shine with no real backing for a ridiculous comment.

Obviously you meant to post that nonsensical over exaggerated comment. I also don't know what blew up in people faces, I am perfectly fine with the game industry, I don't have time to be internet outraged about nothingness.

Really read your comment and listen to what you said.

"Activision. And MS. They will ruin console gaming forever."

Bro, for real? Really? Seriously? It's that serious? So there is nothing Sony and Nintendo can do against MS and Activision? MS is 3rd place with you even talking about?

If we stay relevant on MTX, then you still sound ridiculous because again, you lay it all at MS and Activision's feet when almost all companies have used some form of MTX, including yup... Sony.

S2Killinit53d ago

I read this comment, it boiled down to “seeiously?”.

My answer: yes seriously. Since you didn’t say anything else, what else can I tell you? Yes MS is seriously ruining gaming. They have been for some time, and working their way to where we are today, and aren’t even done yet. MS are the worst thing to happen to console gaming.

"The Yokai's Wrath bundle was released despite previous guarantees by Activision that A.I. would not be used for final assets, per the report."

We're talking concept art? Because as of right now there's no way to generate a final 3D model with final textures. So the final assets don't use AI. That's not to say that it sucks for 2D artist that it's easier to generate visual ideas and build from them leading to less 2D artists needed (really sucks), but are they say the final concept art was completely AI generated and then 3D artists built from that? And yes, I'll pile on that Activision as a publisher and their developers I have experience with suck and they'll do whatever, ethics be damned.

OldDuffer57d ago

Thats actually a very useful and informative piece, thank you.

just_looken57d ago

Your welcome though it seems it went over many users heads.

PapaBop58d ago

Wow I can just imagine the likes of Activision, EA and Ubi etc having an army of AIs creating overpriced crap and the fanboys just lapping it up. I hope the AIs have a good union.

montebristo58d ago

I understand why people think it’s good idea to Unionize to fight back against such things but it’s not. It’s a bad idea. It’s activisions wet dream to have these pumped out weekly by some AI. Protect your neck!
