Compare MW2 to MW1, and MW2 was shit, MW1 campaign was immerse and included yourself in it. MW2 campaign was interesting and urged to more play, but it was so damn linear and felt so fake compared to MW1, like Activision tried to hold on to something that is finished and done, and belive me, we will see another milking attempt by activision called MW4 after this MW3 crap has been released. MW2 camapaign was short and linear, though it urged more interrest because i thought IW would do something more interesting like in MW1, they never did, everything just came out just as expected.
Battlefield 3rd person animations are the top notch nowadays, no contest. I agree it's first person animations look horrid, but remembering pre-alpha I can live with that. Battlefield music is beast, and best and will remain so!
BC2 is not a true battlefield game, in the exact same manner as Heroes is not a battlefield game, they are testruns to see if something works. I must say though, Bad Company 2: Vietnam expansion was a huge ton better than the piece of mappack called CoD:BO. Just as with 2142, Vietnam balances the core game. 2142 balanced out everything in BF2. SUch as 1942 balanced with 1942: Vietnam.
And since when was not cehicles mentioned? Vehicles are a must in next-gen games, alogn with destruction and large maps, none wich CoD fullfills. Well, that does not count theyr frickin scripted shit, every tiny bit of destruction in CoD is scripted ffs!
About my pics; don't push the facts away, BF3 has large advatages when it comes to texture quality, lightning polycount etc. everything that can be seen from a screenshot. Another truth is that MW3 is using the same engine as MW2, thus not improving graphics by a single inch.
Another thing is that BF series is played by mature players, CoD is played by immature 12 year olds screaming in the mic with a such a huge pitch its a pain in the A**(ear). BF requires teamwork to win, and tactical choosing of classes, tactical deployment and tactical weapon usage. For example if your teams commander have spotted a amount of enemy tanks rolling into one of your bases, then you choose AT class and not the sniper. In CoD, noone dies for objectives, everyone camps like bushwookies behind some indestructible wall and hoping to get that 25OMGnukZ00R killstreak. Even in domination, noone jumps onto bases, noone dies for objectives and vice chat is used primarily for ranting one enemy or even sometimes friendly soldiers. The CoD communtiy is immature kids running around playing "The cool game".
Crysis 2 was a Xbox360 port, pulling out every little bit of power in the console, still a port and ran shit on PC, in comparison with Crysis 1/warhead ofc. The story was cool and all, but linear and used up, the music was beast and a massive masterpiece. MW2 was better though.
Wake Island:
Now this is a playable map, not like the tiny squeeze maps in Crysis 2 and certainly not the one room run gun painspazzkillerz0r from CoD. Crysis 1 had such large MP maps, the i mean, both SP and MP maps were frigggin HUGE. Did i even mention playerocunt?
