Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3

You can see your soldiers feet if you look down, arms move during prone, vaulting actions, buildings crumbling, debris hitting and damaging soldiers and much more that make BF3 more realistic than MW3.

Um, MW3 has vaulting actions too, and they're not buggy as hell like in BF3.

I guess having a plane getting taken out by wire is way more realistic, though.

^ when your aiming at a guy and a rocket goes whizzing by yor head smashes into the wall behind you and the rocks fall on your teammate killing him, You'll see fact.

When an enemy shoots the bullets past you and the screen goes blurry from the disorientation, you'll see fact.

When you fire a Sniper Rifle over a long distance and don't hit anything cos you didn't compensate for bullet drop, you'll see fact.

Need i go on?

(i'm not saying it's a better game, but it is FAR more realistic... FACT)

(as realistic as possible in a game and with todays tech)

Finally had a game when the lag wasn't too bad and had a bit of fun for change. My bullets actually counted! Id forgotten what that was like. Still got instakilled now and then, magic bullet "shot around the corner" syndrome etc and I've never been shot in the back so much in my life, but it's almost ok when its working properly.

BF3 has all of that plus new gadgets, new unlock system, ribbons, medals and Dogtag collectibles, new accessories system, new melee system, new engine, new Prone gameplay, Scope Glare etc.. Have been Added to the game where as they weren't in BC2, their last game

In my few hours of online gameplay I never even noticed dog tags; IMO I think playercards are cooler.

I will admit I love the new melee. Otherwise, I just don't see the vast differences between the last 2 battlefield games. Not saying I hate the game (love it!), but I think some people are selectively blind when it comes to criticizing new games based on content.

As far as the rocket thing goes, that ONLY happens IF the building collapses. I can't count the times I've shot, and been shot, at point blank range and gotten nothing but a hit marker.

Yeah, except that doesn't happen.

The sniper rifle "compensation" is the same over all large distances anyway, not very realistic.

It's the same amount of realism the CoD series has, just different features. Tac and red dots blinding you in broad daylight? Realistic.

Taking explosives at point blank range and not dying? Realistic.

Soldiers not being able to hop over 3 foot objects? Realistic.

Getting stuck on random debris and having to navigate around it, or vault over it? Soooo realistic.

Having HALF your life gone from a 5 foot drop? So realistic.

magic bullet "shot around the corner" syndrome etc

This(and again it's due to the poor hit detection), and Stalker, are really the only problems with the game.

BF3 has all of that plus new gadgets, new unlock system, ribbons, medals and Dogtag collectibles, new accessories system,

And you can thank the CoD series for that.

Meh, graphics on console are the same other than light glare. The style of play is exactly the same... The only new vehicles are jets.

Mw3 and mw2 are actually 2 completely different games. Mw3 has changed graphics rendering, guns, style of play, animations, weapon leveling and unlock system, etc. Infinity ward actually put in new content.

Do explain. Everything you listed there was in MW2.

The graphics for MP are exactly the same. Running on the same engine, rendering at the same speed. There's no new animations at all. The style of play is still COD's run-n-gun lone wolf style, the weapon leveling is just unlocks for your attachments (instead of getting them by kills now you get them by XP by getting kills.) The leveling system is exactly the same. Sept' it goes to 80 now.

The only new content they threw in was a 5 hour campaign and a half-assed horde mode. Other then that nothing new or original. Don't get me wrong I love CoD but this one has to be one of my least favorites.

BF3 is all new, new engine, new (faster-paced) gameplay, new guns, new class unlocks, new map types and variants (big one's small one's), new vehicles, new sound effects, new destruction capabilities, a free stat-tracker.

If you go back to playing the BC games after playing BF3 it's completely different styles of play. BC2 is a lot heavier, slower gameplay compared to BF3 being faster and tighter controls (almost like COD's)

Started playing MW3 multiplayer before the campaign.
Finished the campaign last night and it was good.

Spoiler

Killing Makarov has been the most satisfying kill in a video game in recent memory

MW3 online is also very polished and well planned out

It's okay if you suck at the game, bro.

I will admit BF3 is glitchy but at least it tried something new. DICE went ahead and created a whole new engine which is a ballsy risk to take. Infinity Ward, with their lack of genitalia, has kept everything the same in regards to multiplayer and half assed the singleplayer. Popcorn action sequences don't make up for lack of story.......

Bottom line is....BF3 is fresh and is taking steps into the future whereas MW3 is same old, same old. And please stop arguing about which game is most realistic......

 

[jye4ever]

LOL, why does one have to be better than the other, they're both affordable enough to just own both and enjoy them for what they are.

Speaking of which, Walmart will have BF3 for $28.00 on Black Friday weekend, don't know about MW3 though.

Lets just enjoy both games and not nickle and dime ourselves to death with fighting over which is better, both are fun enough to warrant ownership.

I'm even following my own advise (and snappahead's), I kept flopping back and forth with which I preferred, BF3 or BC2, so instead of _____ing over and over, I repurchased a used copy of BC2 and now play both, well, all 3 now, BC2, BF3 and MW3.

I win, all 3 are fun.

 

[snappahead]

You speak sense, JYE. Everyone has their preferences and it's pointless to argue about it. I'll try to get what I can out of both myself.

 

[Karma]

give it a rest guys, no one cares about COD vs battlefield. Play what you like and stick to your own threads

It's just boring. Play both, play one or the other, what's the point in arguing which is better.

 

[Mercer]

This games pretty cool. My only complaint other than the spawn killing is the lack of gore. I hate seeing money fly when people get shot. It's insulting and gives kids the wrong impression about killing. World at War was awesome. You'd step on a mine and your legs got blown off. I don't think these things are too graphic. The effects of war should be shocking and violent.

Haha, only you're allowed to argue which is better or what? Get over yourself.

There's nothing fresh about BF3, sure the destruction is cool, but that loses it's charm after about an hour. Plus the game is buggy as hell, I'd rather take the same old same old than a bug fest. That's funny as hell that you're slamming the "popcorn action sequences" when that's all BF3's story is. BUT OMG BF3 HAD A NUKE EXPLODE. Where have I seen that before...twice...

I don't see why everyone was expecting something "fresh" or revolutionary, or expecting it to change the face of MP gaming...again. They said right from the start they were going "back" to the gun game, and "back" to the style of CoD4. If you were expecting something else, that's all on you.

 

[NASEDO]

Just went 46 - 0 on Cod. Woot Woot.

thats just the internetz man.
Ever since COD4 people have complained they wished the new titles were more like COD4. Then the developers try to do just that and now its not what all these people want anymore ... its a pretty typical reaction these days ...

Yeah no ____. I'm so sick of the BF3 nuthuggers trolling the damn Call of Duty thread about how "realistic" BF3 is. Ok good luck with that. Have any of those dorks been in a real firefight? Probably not, so they should STFU about what's realistic and what's not realistic.

Yup, same here. I have every COD and the last couple of BF's enjoy them all. Just some more then others cause they're a bit new and something different from the regular grind.

I just love video games.
