Modern Warfare 3 vs Battlefield 3: This War is Dumb

Even with all the growing hate for Modern Warfare 3 in the internet community, it is hard to deny the success of the game.

This article puts the ridiculousness of the war between 2011's biggest shooters to rest by comparing the massive differences between the two.

The article also points out which game wins in a breakdown of categories (the results are unexpected).

well written article, but it's sad that the singleplayer picture of MW3 was actually in COD4. They look so similar you can't tell the difference.

DeadeyeMouse4536d ago

Yah know... I guess that says a lot about the franchise itself. It is time they go ahead and try something different (I just made a joke).

The controls and the gameplay is top-notch, but the setting is getting stale.

CarlitoBrigante4535d ago

I think BF3 is superior becoz it has:

-medic class
-not run and gun Rambo style gameplay
-team play and tactics
-destruction
-vehicles

And I never played any BF before BF3, I was a CoD player.

Cosmit4535d ago

No run and gun Rambo style gameplay? Yeah there is. Its what I do. BF3 is way too easy for me.

dark-hollow4535d ago

just enough of cod already!
We are NOT haters. We are FANS of the game from cod 4.
We still waiting for the true sequel for cod 4 and all we got is rehashed garbage year over year over year!

We want innovation again. If rehashing didnt stop then cod wont survive!
Hell, you figure they would learn the lesson after guitar hero died because of their greed.

thedude444536d ago (Edited 4536d ago )

i learned this not only from previous marriages and from gamers...

1. no matter how much you want someone to like something, you cannot force them to like it.

2. even if a something is technically superior, some people will still prefer a technically inferior product because of numerous reasons. ex: friends, used to the controls, ect...

3. there are 2 different gamers, the ones who are informed and the ones who dont know about something until they see it in the store, these people are going to buy into advertisements and most likely will never take someones word for it and never give something else a chance.

Buzz7S4535d ago

At the end of the day, you're getting top notch FPS games. That is all that matters.

MW3 when I want to goof around and just have fun.

BF3 when I want to play a little more seriously, but still leave room for a good laugh.

They both appeal to me, as they should to anybody who is a fan of the FPS genre.

Blastoise4535d ago

I disagree with that. Coming from a person who enjoyed Black ops & Mw2 enough to have over two weeks online playtime each, Modern warfare 3 just didnt change enough things to keep it interesting.

DeadeyeMouse4535d ago

At least it was a well thought out and written trolling right?

JellyJelly4535d ago

I don't hate the COD series, they can be good fun. It's just that I think Battlefield 3 is better in all areas when it comes to the multiplayer. And that's where I spend most of my time with them.

EA Hiring Ex-Military Personnel to Help Build Next Battlefield Game via "Hiring Our Heroes" Program

EA has hired ex-military personnel in order to help shape the next Battlefield game as part of the Hiring Our Heroes (HOH) program.

OtterX7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

Why don't you Hire Your Old Dev Team who brought us the brilliance of Battlefield Bad Company 2 while you're at it. It was more exciting than anything recent in the Battlefield series. It just needs to be updated to reach modern times, but it was so great at its core.

just_looken7d ago

This would be nice but that team has tossed out the finals and has arc raiders on the back burner
https://www.pcgamer.com/ex-...

20 thousand still play the final's
https://steamcharts.com/app...

Why get slapped around by ea when you already have something going on.

What the next battlefield needs is a step back simple functional not a live service and smaller player servers than 2042. Just make it like battlefiled 3 with bad company destruction just something simple

But they already killed off ridgeline games that had ex halo/cod devs so no singleplayer unless they make another dev team for it.

It's what made zipper and slant six awesome. They had military vets working for them, no just as consultants, but as developers as well. I wish Sony never closed them, MAG 2 or an update to MAG and a new socom is much needed.

just_looken7d ago

Older ps3 battlefield titles did the same even went to the range to get sound files.

But all these titles we are talking about were on the ps3 a console so powerful it offered free mp and games did not need 4 levels of payment plans even more crazy was the player size of mag's games.

TheColbertinator6d ago

A return to the golden age of Battlefield seems so far away now

Str8Chaos746d ago

Sadly I think you are correct. They just don’t get it. They will do their live service game with its Battle Royale and fail at both.I hate being so negative, but I have little faith in EA at this point.

10AM PT/1PM ET/6PM london time.
on June 9th.

this is so odd. we had ps before the summer fest and now xbox after.

lelo2play13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

Summer Fest and the Sony show were both crap, let's hope Microsoft and Ubisoft shows are decent.

(the way this is going, I'm not asking for good/great shows, simply asking for decent shows...)

I miss E3.

RupeeHoarder13d ago

State of Play is a 30 minute sizzle reel. It is not meant to compete with the yearly Xbox showcase.

gold_drake13d ago

best e3 was when they showcased breath of the wild with the nintendo tree people i watched that quite a few times ha.

Daver13d ago

Diablo 4 expansion? Even if the game is bad.

Crows9013d ago

I'm definitely of the mind that d4 was complete crap at release...but the state of it right this moment is not complete crap. They've simplified a lot which actually helped their overtly stupid itemization.

End game content is still kind of stupid but at least progression and itemization is better.

Daver13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

@crows90

Maybe but it is still boring. It might be a little bit better but it is not a good game.

Profchaos13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

Xbox had typically kept the old e3 dates alive it seems to always fall on Queens / Kings birthday holiday in Aus only reason I've noticed as it used to be a day off to engross myself in e3 showcases but nowadays it's nothing

Lightning7715d ago

The rumor is 30 games with a nearly 2 hour show. I hope so I, been saying they need to go balls to the wall with their showcase. That's according to Grubb again. Yeah a huge pinch of salt he's only been wrong or half right about some stuff.

There's also suppose to be a Wu Tang Clan game that's a kungfu action RPG featuring the legendary hip hop group New Yorks own Wu Tang Clan. You read right Wu Tang Clan kungfu action RPG.

Sounds weird, random and quirky but hey I'm down to see it.

romulus2314d ago

Bet the title has Shaolin in it.

purple10114d ago

State of decay 3 info is leaking on twitter!

Looks good. Personally don’t play horror/ zombie games, but I appreciate it’s a good game so that’s a win for Xbox fans.

Lord knows they need a win at the moment

ThinkThink13d ago

Appreciate the concern, but I think we'll be just fine. Hope you all enjoy tomorrow's show.

Obscure_Observer13d ago

"The rumor is 30 games with a nearly 2 hour show. I hope so I, been saying they need to go balls to the wall with their showcase."

MS had the best showcases in the last few years.

This year, the bar is so low with those last showcases, that imo, MS and Ubisoft doesn´t even need to make much of an effort to beat them.

"That's according to Grubb again. Yeah a huge pinch of salt he's only been wrong or half right about some stuff."

Grubb was right about the last State of Play. Just a few days for the end of the month, he´d continued and insisted that it was going to happen. And he was right! Sony made a last minute announcement for whatever reason, but the guy was spot on.

Lightning7713d ago

Grubb was only half right. He only got the month down, which was late last month for a PS event but wrong on it being a PS showcase.

Half right at best. He's still not that credible these days. He definitely wasn't spot on.

derek13d ago

Grubb has been pretty spot on in his comments regarding showcases. You can tell he's not guessing, he knows in advance.

Sonic188113d ago (Edited 13d ago )

Microsoft has had the best showcases for the last 3-4 years. The problem with Microsoft and the Xbox division is their reputation and trademark around the world. That's what's really affecting them.

This show is going to be painful.

Elda14d ago

Hopefully not knowing most games shown will be multiplats & some eventually multiplats.

The presentation is going to be the painful part. There might be some good games though.

You can always make a drinking game out of it for every time they say the words "Made for a modern audience".

Are you 12 or 13 now? 😂🤣

anast13d ago

This is fun. Some back and forth.

No, but those emojis sure seem like you might be.

Crows9013d ago

You'd think that every now and then even these dispassionate fools may do a good job...they've disappointed every single year since before release of Xbox one....that's a really long streak of disappointments...lol

anast13d ago

For sure. they have the money to put on a top tier show, but I'm afraid it will look like an event where super rich people are noticeably trying to be cheap. And they have this strange smile like they know they are trying o get over on people. It just makes for an awkward and tasteless showing.

GotGame81813d ago

My emojis? 😂🤣 Funny kid!

I hope it's a good showing knowing most games that will be shown will be multiplats & XB timed exclusives that'll eventually become multi-plats.

Tacoboto14d ago

It is what it is at this point.

At least the good games will have a chance to be bought, take advantage of the superior DualSense, and *maybe* give those studios a better shot at survival.

They'll also have better shadows, and run with higher dynamic res on the PS5 Pro.

Lightning7713d ago (Edited 13d ago )

So if they're multiplat would you suddenly like Xbox games?

You never have before you've made that clear several times over.

Elda13d ago

I have an XBSX. I also own a PS5 & a Switch. What's your point??

Lightning7713d ago

My point is what I said. You don't like Xbox games, you've said it repeatedly. So would you suddenly like Xbox games if they were available on PS5.

COD Warzone and Modern Warfare 3 Pride Month Freebies Released; Gundam Mobile Suit Collab Launched

Activision has not launched the Warzone and Modern Warfare 3 Gundam collab cosmetics, and also freebie skins in celebration of Pride month.

Wish the hadn't put them among the event camos.

Reset Era regulars are delighted at this news.

Nice to have inclusivity. Happy Pride Month to the Puerto Rican community & the LGBTQ community here in NYC.

Yeah...the internet sucks.

Huey_My_D_Long19d ago

Welcome to the N4g. Where the gamers complain about gamer stereotypes while acting like gamer stereotypes.

Elda19d ago

Bigots & there are plenty on this site.

just_looken18d ago

The down votes because this is call of duty a first person shooter not pride month parade #45

I used to play first person shooter's for the military on military action not to watch someone with a pride flag stapled onto a cat shooting a gun from the boys on a map from my little pony.

Now you first up a game its all over your splash screen almost like a porn game can i just play a quick game like it was on the ps3 era ffs.

Elda18d ago (Edited 18d ago )

It's an article that's talking about COD & Pride freebies that coincides Pride month. June is the month of Pride & in the city & state of NY Puerto Rican heritage is celebrated including the LGBTQ community. You know where you can take your BS bigotry.

just_looken18d ago

@ ELDA

Go bang a dude or be a trans i do not care just do not spread that crap in my face 24/7

I do not care if its dung beetal month i am just sick on tired of it being everywhere like the fury shit or in the old days were church's went door 2 door preaching like gtfo with your cult crap.

Elda17d ago

It goes to show how immature you are because the article didn't look for you you decided to enter the article yourself knowing you knew what the article was about from the get go. Your ignorance shows through knowing Pride month isn't just for the LGBTQ but for all cultures & communities. No one put a gun to your head to enter this article you decided to enter the article just to spew your negative bigoted BS or just maybe you entered the article out of curiosity because you're a closet case.

just_looken17d ago

I entered the article because its about call of duty a videogame because we are on a videogame website
