If you go to www.modernwarfare3.com you will find a site telling you exactely what MW3 is going to be like XD

(click to show/hide)

Modern Warfare 3 is an copy and paste experience that looks exactly like Modern Warfare 2, retracing the conflicts of its predeccessor that will take you to major cities across the globe (including New York, London, and Paris) with the elite operatives of the US Delta Force and British SAS to combat Russian ultranationalists who have made it their mission to take back their homeland (yeah right?!?!).  Modern Warfare 3 missions are in cool settings such as Wall Street in New York City, but utlimately the game fails to live up to its massive hype train.  Activision should spend more time developing their games instead of using massive advertising campaigns to promote an inferior product.

A more satisfying gaming experience is found in Battlefield 3!  Battlefield takes first person shooter realism and action to the next level with its next generation Frostbite 2 engine that delivers cutting edge graphics and game play like no other console shooter.  Modern Warfare 3 runs on the same engine as previous COD games like BLOPs with arguably only a few minor enhancements.  There is simply no way that Modern Warfare 3 can match Battlefield 3 in terms of technology so once again it will rely on gimmicks like rc car kill streaks to attract preteens to buy their product.

Battlefield 3 is taking first person shooters to the next level.  So if you are strapped on cash, grow up and forgettabout Modern Warfare 3 (because it looks just like Modern Warfare 2) and buy Battlefield 3 instead. It features a mindblowing campaign and awesome multiplayer modes (free of newbtubing kids that buy COD) that will change your perspective on video games forever!

I lol'd so friggin hard when I read it XD

Valve's engine is old.  I mean to illustrate that the graphics engine is secondary to story and gameplay.

(Know nothing about mw vs battlefield but surely most buy and play both?)

My biased opinion is this; MW2.5...sorry MW3 will have the exact same animations as its predecessor MW2. It will still use the quake engine from 1999. The developers have spoken out that they aren't improving the engine and thus not the graphics, thus not the map size, and therefore the gameplay will most likely stay the same. Battlefield 3 on the other hand IS using a brand new engine called frostbite 2.0, featuring a light system capable of doing an almost infinite amount of lightsources in a single object. One object in BF3 has more lightning detail than an entire map in BC2. Also if you have played the FIFA series you know that they have an superior animation system in every aspect. this ANT system that it is called is integrated in Frostbite 2.0 allowing for life like animations with real weight added to it. Something most games today lack completely (Im looking at you CoD 7,6,5,4 and your flying on ground running..).

Did i mention that BF3 with FB2.0 will deliver support for 64 players, but DICE playtested with 256 players?
And I forgot vehicles!
And the most important thing, destruction 3.0 allowing to wipe out any enemy cover you can find o.O.
Also the Battlefield series have always had superior sound technology to the CoD series.

While I can agree to preferring Battlefield over Call of Duty, aren't you taking this a tad too seriously?

maybe...

[ultifd]

Wow, awesome.

[ultifd]

I just got banned from this awesome MMORPG...  :'(

I just got banned from this awesome MMORPG...  :'(

Which one?

Speaking of MMO's and banning, I am disgusted at the numbers of bots and real world traders in such games. They spoil the game for others and are a plague that deserve to be banned.

[will]

I infer that UltiFD is a bot...

[ultifd]

The MMORPG is Spiral Knights.
Oh no, I would never do that. (I've also played Runsecape before, too...)

I got banned because after they released this event, it glitched the 2nd currency of the game...I don't even know why they had to wait 45 minutes to patch it, since it was really serious. I guess it was just a really bad decision and luck... It should have been a temp ban though. Most of the other people who got banned were people who actually payed for the currency in cash...so its a lose lose...

Now, I'll need to try to write a really nice appeal...

a pretty cool FPS style game I recently found

  words not required.

Looks nice, but I don't plan to buy it, I wish they'd make a replacement for the old BF1942 instead of keeping on the modern warfare part of FPS

Closest thing you will ever get is 1943 for PS3 and XboX360, maybe 1944 for PC with updated graphics like BF3. But for non-BF game is suggest Red Orchstra series. very accurate to history and very fun aswell. There is also a mod for BF2 called Forgotten Hope coming out soon. Very good aswell.

But if you want updated graphics, i'd reccoment you wait for 1944 for PC.

Anyways i think you will be missing out on the fun if you skip BF3

I actually prefer modern style combat games over world war style. We've just had so many games based on the world wars that I'm just tired of them now. Plus, weapons have improved considerably since the world wars, adding for a more iconic game.

[wyvern]

The first forgotten hope was also good, but now I'm lazy, modern war is mostly about flying a drone 3000 miles away, so thats not really half as interesting as in the days of WW1-2 when soldiers had to rely on crummy bolt action rifles and training more then now, now troops don't even get trained in how to use a bayonet, makes modern war seem a lot more boring. If a WW2 mod for BF3 comes out I'll think about buying it, but otherwise, I don't have much reason to buy it

I agree with Omega, we have a lot of WW2 games, even though they are old, they are there. I'll assure you modern war in games isn't much about flying a drone 3000 miles away. Also knifing is in modern war games so you won't need any bayonet either.

[wyvern]

Oh, I know what the games are like I'm just saying what war is like. I wish someone would make a WW1 game since its largely ignored.

[John.d.h]

Well at least the trenches would be an alternative to the chest-high walls that are so abundant in FPS games nowadays.

[wyvern]

Oh but who doesn't want to fight with picks, sharpened shovels and clubs in a mud filled hole while getting shot at by artillery and machine guns

How to make a Call of Duty game in 10 easy steps:

Step 1: Use an outdated game engine from 2005

Step 2: Insert crappy storyline about Russians and nuclear weapons

Step 3: Design a character that 12 year olds will perceive as "cool" and refer to him only by his mysterious call sign.

Step 4: Kill said character in a scripted event 2/3 way through the campaign.

Step 5: Kill key bad guy in another scripted event involving slow motion

Step 6: Add a halfbaked multiplayer mode. Make sure that there are plenty of glitches and imbalances and good places to camp.

Step 7: Profit.

Step 8: Release overpriced map pack.

Step 9: Profit some more.

Step 10: Repeat steps 1-10 until series has been sufficiently milked dry

Number 10 is a paradox, because in order to complete it, you must repeat the first nine steps and it.

[Gabbe]

Number 10 is a paradox, because in order to complete it, you must repeat the first nine steps and it.

I think it is still right, because when the condition "Series milked dry" is in place, you must no longer repeat the process.

BF3 beta now online for those who got MOHLE or TIER1 edition, or preorder. I got preorder and MOHLE, no key, 28 September...FUUUUUU Ea servers and sucky chat support from India or Pakistan or somewhere...

[-Archmage-]

I played the BETA.
All my friend had to say was "that sucks balls".

I am highly disappointed as it is clearly no match for Crysis 2, or even UrbanTerror.

-no improvement in destruction
-first person graphics from 1990's
-massively overdone sun that blinds player
-couldn't find any real reflections
-cartoony water
-footsteps and bullets had no effect on water
-can only visit menu(option, exit, etc) while player is alive[extremely annoying]
-on ultra settings many, many textures were blurry[yes 16x anisotropic filtering]
-almost no blood on screen, it's hard to tell when you're being hit

It's very boring whether you care about graphics or not, and it certainly isn't a king of graphics.
I love graphics: Hated it.
My friend can hardly tell runescape from crysis: Hated it.

I maxed it out completely. Disappointed.
