I like bf3 because of the vechiles, and mw3 almost seems to be the same as mw2 except for small changes

Lol well this thread has turned into a "hey it's my first post so I'm just gonna type either BF3 or MW3"

Hey its my first post so I'm gonna go with I still haven't played either of the games. But back to the thread topic. With the patches and fixes that have been released what does everyone think if either of the games now? (Yes it is kind of a bump but I would actually like to know as I might buy one of the games)

I played MW3 for all of an hour at a friends house, and I was sick to death of how boring it was. I'd rather play the original Modern Warfare (CoD 4) because they really haven't changed things up enough for me to waste £40 on a game that I played several years ago, but with a few minor things added into the mix.

In short, I cannot speak for fixes that have been made in MW3, but they will never be able to fix that game enough for me to buy it.

BF3 on the other hand; I can only speak for the PC side of things. When BF3 was released, it came with issues relating to Battlelog and Origin (two services you need to have running in order to play the game). Battlelog is kind of like Facebook, a social network for gamers who play Battlefield 3, with a news feed containing all of the latest things your friends and you have unlocked.

It's pretty cool, and a lot better than Call of Duty Elite. Within Battlelog is the game's launcher. You can access the games Campaign, Co-Op and Multiplayer from here. The server browser was initially a bit sketchy, but since the numerous fixes, it is now responsive and flexible, giving you quick access to your favourite servers in an effective way.

Origin is pretty much EA's version of Steam, which is pointless and annoying. I dislike it, a lot. It means that I have to have both Steam and Origin running at the same time in order to play the games I want to play on a daily basis. There were some communication problems between Origin and Battlelog at first, but those problems were ironed out pretty sharpish. I think it was an issue with everyone wanting to play the same game at exactly the same time upon launch day.

Little glitches and bugs within maps have pretty much been abolished, along with slight graphical glitches and performance issues. Everything is pretty solid now. The only issue that remains is the fact that players will get a crash to desktop error every now and then, which again is a problem with the game communicating with Battlelog, but that is due to be solved soon enough. It isn't that much of a problem anyway, because for most it doesn't happen regularly enough for it to cause stress.

Conclusion:

If you want a quick-launch arcade shooter for herpin' and derpin', then choose MW3, as you will have fun with that one. However, if you would like an authentic fps experience, which looks and feels incredible, then go with BF3.

Take your pick

Can't belive how mind numbingly awesome BF3 has become after the Back to Karkand expansion came out.

I kind of think of them as TV shows. MW3 is Sesame Street, where there's really not that much to it, and it starts to become mind-numbing after a while, with occasions of "Wait... wtf just happened?". BF3 is more like Nova, its really cool at first and you have to really think, but after a while it gets to the point where your mind literally starts to hurt.
