It’s safe to say that we all knew it already, the new Frostbite engine can rest even easier than it was already as the graphics on the new call of duty just don’t seem to compare. The first 4 images are the closest we could get to similar environments; in the first we have a night scene, whilst the second puts the protagonist in the seat of a mounted turret in a brightly lit environment.
Taken on PC these images compare BF3 to MW3.
The images on the right are of Battlefield 3 and the images on the left at Call of duty: modern Warfare 3.
The rest of the images are screen shots taken from the game.

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.
I'm sorry but there is no comparison between BF3 and MW3 when it comes to graphics. Anyone arguing otherwise is just deluded or severely misinformed. Battlefield 3, even on consoles with their various issues, looks brilliant (and much better than the ageing engine used for COD). Obviously on PC, it is a sight to behold (along with 60fps).
COD can not touch BF3 in graphics period!
Pretty poor comparison, I mean the website lay out. But obviously, at their peak Frostbite 2 is the better "looking" engine and there for produces the better looking game.
That's at their peaks though (PC), personally I think on consoles, COD would be my preferred choice, FB2 looks slightly better, but it's doing so at half the frame rate, technically I still think COD engine suits the console better. Gameplay is more important than graphics in the end.
Personally, talking visuals alone:
PC: BF3, no contest and no need to sacrifice gameplay (FPS)
Console: BF3, by a small margin, but at the heavy sacrifice of frame rate.
The frostbite engine is a lot more advanced than the quake engine that Activision uses. Dice did a really great job with the visuals in the game.

This is actually a pretty pointless comparison.
