Battlefield 3 vs Call of Duty

[Delta]

The problem I have with BF3 is.. (and I'm assuming you're getting it for consoles) is that it's going to be 24 player multiplayer. PCs will have 64, but the maps will be identical.

OH GAWD talk about lag and i thought ground war was awful on CoD i mean 64 holy crap!!!

Battlefield servers are usually run on dedicated servers with sponsor adds to pay for high bandwith.

I say usually, because some try to cheap out, but they tend to be disfavored for proper servers.

BF3 isn't crappy matchmaking, not on the PC anyway. Each server is a dedicated host server, that a clan or a group can buy for either their clan wars or just for public banter; it works perfectly.

Okay. So this is a bit of an old-ish thread, but I'm curious.

I'd like to hear a smart, well reasoned argument for why Modern Warfare 3 is better than Battlefield 3 or vice versa.

No argument will be truly "well reasoned" until both games are out. BF3 is looking to be a better game, but who knows, maybe it'll blow.

BF3 will be better than MW3, because Activision and their respected developers have ran out of ideas on how to make Call of Duty look and feel fresh, compared to the same thing over and over again, like what they've got into the habit of doing these days. EA DICE and the Battlefield series have managed to bring us countless mega-fun titles, and most of them are significantly better than the last (gameplay and graphically), whilst still making it feel like a Battlefield game.

Quite simply put, Activision & Co. are lazy, whereas EA DICE put a lot of effort and thought into each title that they bring us. The graphics are constantly improved upon in Battlefield, as well as the award winning sound effects, and the mass tactical team-play in the Battlefield franchise is second to no game, in my opinion.

Conclusion: Activision do it purely for the money, whereas EA DICE do it for the fans of the franchise, as well as making their profit.

Couldnt have said it better myself.

There are a whole lot of things that Robert Bowling has said that disproves that MW3 isn't going to be the same as Black Ops or MW2, but I don't really feel like arguing, I deal with it enough at GameFAQs.

Well its all assumptions based on previous efforts realy.

I mean, im not realy going to judge MW3 untill i get to play it myself and can make up my own oppinion.

Activision & Co im judging to damnation however.

It's not, though. I realize that not everything he says will make it into the final game, but from what I've read, they're developing the game to be like CoD 4, not MW2, that weapon/attachment unlocks will have a unique system, and that OMA/DC/Commando and the nuke are out, and that all of the sound/HUD are just placeholders and will be fixed at the appropriate time.
