BF3 and MW3: Don't Kill Me, I'm New

Ryan Clements: Unlike so many shooter fans, I have little allegiance and even less experience with Battlefield and Modern Warfare. I love JRPGs and real-time strategy. I love Girls' Generation. But I never devoted myself to one specific shooter series.

But with all the fuss surrounding Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3, I wanted to play them and investigate a few things: would I enjoy the notoriously fearsome online? Would I even survive? And, of course, which one of these competing games would I like the best?

A noob's intial impression of the two games, specifically speaking the author made one observation and how the two games contrast relative to that observation. Shows both games in positive light. Ends with a anticlimactic and generic statement that will make the article a waste of time for those wishing to settle the matter once and for all. Now where were we....oh yea, ACTIVISION IS OF THE DEVIL!

....man this guys in a bad mood......

So he's a noob and he shows both games in a positive light, what is wrong with either of these things? They both truly have their positives about them as I own both and I am not a noob to either one. "His" opinion whether it differs from yours or not is still "His" opinion. And are people really looking to see which is the better game? My opinion is they are both great and think true gamers should own both, "My" opinion.

Im not a DoucheBag .... Im new

If you're new to FPS games don't play BF3, you'll get raped.

Rob Hornecker4494d ago

This could go either way. I feel the way you do,but with MW3 instead of BF3.

I have to say that the author gives us his thoughts on the ins and outs of both games. Although I feel by the end he is leaning more towards BF3.

I own and play both games on the XB360 and PS3 and will say that MW3 and BF3 have a very different styles of game play. Where as BF3 relies of teamwork as the way to success,MW3 is more a run and gun lone wolf style of play.Thats why CoD diehards have NEVER enjoyed the battlefield games

My advice to the author ( or anyone new to either game ) is to find people on your friends list that play either game and have them show you around the game. If you don't have any friends with the game,send a chat/party invite to one of your squad mates and work together with them.Perhaps you will make some new friends to play with.

It's a lot harder to fly a chopper or a plane than point and shoot (with generous auto-aim), plus if you're not in cover you're done immediately.

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

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.

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.

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

Christopher30d 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_vulgaris30d 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.
