Battlefield 3 should smoke Modern Warfare 3

Modern Warfare 3 graphics are exactly the same as MW2, we are in the year 2011 and Call of Duty are still selling us for 60$ a game with a DirectX 9 graphics engine from the year 2007.

Battlefield 3 is the better option, it gives us new DirectX 11 graphhics engine, we get vehicles, large maps and large number of players on the PC, it should smoke Modern Warfare 3.

I made a video comparing the graphics quality of COD4, MW2, Black Ops and Modern Warfare 3 and it shows how Activision is selling us a game for 60$ that is basically a new map pack of Modern Warfare 2.
 
From everything I've seen BF3 is miles ahead of MW3 (no surprise, honestly), but MW3 will outsell BF3 by a considerable amount, sadly.
 
MW3 will destroy BF3 in sales but I believe that BF3 will be a better game overall based on what I have seen so far.
 
Isn't this the forum where people harp on games focusing too much on graphics and not enough on gameplay? 😀

Seriously, no news here, but if MW3 plays better than BF3 it'll be a better game. Far as I'm concerned graphics these days are mostly good enough.
 
Thanks captain.

Problem is, this game is doing both things right 🙂
 
No matter what I'm getting BF3. If MW3 is at least as good as the last two I'm getting that one too. Nevertheless I have a pre-order for both. It's not like you can only get one.
 
I was saying the same thing when Bad Company 2 was coming out. "Oh this game will be awesome!"

Until I played it. Bad company 2 play like shit. The controls are horrible, the hit detection is shit, the weapons sounded like shit, you have to toggle to aim down sight, the storyline and acting is horrendous.
 
Does it really matter? They're both fun. They're also both very different. Different paces.

Graphics don't really matter to me at all. I still happily play 1.6 because it's a tough game but very different from the above 2. That game is ugly as hell. It's also more competitive than the above 2. Only casuals are concerned about graphics. Look at the people who stuck with BF2.

They need to fix crap like the zoom out but. It's annoying as hell in BC2 but it was god awful in the BF3 alpha. You'd be unable to zoom in on your iron sites until you switched guns. It was an alpha but there's a zoom bug in BC2 and that game has been out for a while now...

The only legitimate complaint I see here is the aim-toggle. However this wasn't a problem for me either since toggle-sight is my preferable play style, as opposed to hold-down sight.

The controls in BC2 are extremely fluid, and the hit boxes were fine. You're also the first person I've ever seen complaining about the sound effects. Last time I checked, the sound in BC2 was amazing, so good in fact it was nominated for a TEC award in best sound design.

I wont play BF3 if the controls/movement are the same as Bad Company 2. I couldnt stand them.

I think the controls in BC2 is pretty good. One of the major complaints is it feels floaty. I think that's true to an extent. There is an annoying bug with the scroll wheel though. At times it will switch to the wrong gun or won't switch at all. It doesn't make sense because it works fine in every other game. HL2 for example with fast_switch 1. In BF3 you can run while strafing which is freaking amazing.
 
I hope things like as cut scenes do not get you killed ,in the alpha having the auto bi-pod when a few guys would jump out and not see me I would hit the deck to lower my target area and then auto bi-pod would deploy giving the guys time to see me before the gun would fire -killed
-run up to a rock the thing would auto deploy in what seemed to take for ever. all I wanted to do was do a quick look. should not be auto deploy.
-got rid of it ,only good for campers. looked good on paper I bet. waste of code hours
 
The better game will prevail. I'm a console rat, but if BF3 turns out to be a better game than MW3 on console, than eventually BF3 will prevail. Sales are going to be good for MW3 no doubt, just based on their history of success. But let's go back to 2007. Halo 3 was just released and was the shit of console shooters. I'm sitting here playing Halo 3 and I hear people talking about this new game called Modern Warfare and how it's so awesome. I decide to check it out... the rest is history. If BF3 is that much better than MW3, it will be successful. And then next year when BF4 is set to release, that will be the #1 selling game..... IF the game is actually better.
 
Vehicles will completely imbalance the game turning it into a POS.

MW3 will decimate BF3 in sales

It does look pretty though.
