The BF3 Beta is now available for download; I know this game has a huge following but I just can't get used to it. The graphics are great but the movement of the characters feel choppy and rough, like pre-COD4!. It's also very hard to tell who/where the enemy is and when you lock onto a target your gun has a freaking seizure as you try to keep it on the enemy. Sounds and visuals are solid but the movement is too distracting, in a bad way, for this COD vet.

IMO, BF3 is a tier below MW3:

The strength of the Battlefield franchise is the integration of vehicles into the game and the usefulness of classes. Having helos, jets, tanks, jeeps, is what makes that game fun. Having commanders, SF, engineers is what keeps it interesting. The maps are huge and the game actually has meaning. The MW series is just about figuring out which guns are the most powerful and mastering them.

I need to build one too. My tower is over three years old.
 
for me and COD it rewards Lone Wolf action just as much as it does being in the thick of the battle, so it promotes a whole sh*tload of sitting around the campfire having a circle jerk while singing Kumbaya my lord and roasting marshmellows. With Battlefield you get more points for being in the battle and front lines, so it promotes the all out warfare and working together. So it appeals to me a whole lot more. And trust me I played my share of COD's online. I think I literally put 8 days in MW2 alone online. Yikes.

LOL! Some of the glitches are pretty funny I admit. They better get them worked out. One part of the map I kept falling through the bottom of the map and dying.

ooooohhhhh 8 days..... lol

That's nothing Wheels.
 
Alright, I will admit I have been playing some Modern Warfare lately on my PS3. I now have an online account , but have never played online. Any of you guys do this?

lol for me it is. If its a game I dont like.. it doesnt get much more than a couple hours from me. So to get around 200 hours outta me, I have to like it lol.
 
BF seems like a better game overall, but I prefer the game play of MW. That one game in BF where your team has to take over the whole map is sweet.

I never understood the whole "prestige" thing on COD, i was generally bored of the multiplayer by the time i made it the the first one. Only renting MW3 this year for sure, not throwing my money away until they change some stuff up.
 
I'll be buying MW3 for sure. I'm enticed by the spec ops to play with other people. But the only first day purchases I'm making this fall are Fifa, Skyrim, and BF3. Possibly Uncharted 3.
 
I'm pretty sure I heard NBA2k12 is just a bunch of black guys playing golf and macking on chicks.
 
I gave this game another try, playing for about 45 min., and I still can't stand the gameplay and movement of the characters. I don't know if any of you played COD3 but the movement of this game and COD3 are very close.

Before this game was released I read good things about the new Frostbite ll engine but it's basically the same thing.

I will say that the sound of the guns are a lot better than MW2 and Black Ops. But other than that, I don't think I'll be buying this game.
 
I played the BF3 betta for about an hour with my son. I thought it was pretty fun. We'll probably buy it... mainly because of the vehicle factor. But one thing that still pisses me off about EA games is their lame age restrictions for online multiplayer. They would probably sell millions more copys if they didnt have that.

My kids have already pre-ordered MW3 and are counting down the days until it arrives. They love MW and COD far more than any other game.
 
Beer, the earlier BattleFields are kick ass right?

I think so, but cant say for sure. We have one of them, but my kids never played it much since they cant play online. I've heard they are really good.
 
We have both games. My oldest son likes BF3 much better... my youngest likes MW3. My oldest likes BF3 because it offers new/different features and is very challenging. He isnt impressed with MW3 because it doesnt seem like much of an improvement over the previous versions. His big complaint about BF3 is that he has to use my profile to play online multiplayer because of EA's ridiculous age restriciton. My youngest likes MW3 because its easier and he's familiar with it and he is easily influenced by all the hype. I havent played MW3, just watched my sons play it. I do agree with my oldest that it doesnt seem to offer anything new and exciting over previous versions. I have played BF3 a little and really like it. The campaign is fun and multiplayer is very realistic, but I suck at it. My personal favorite right now is still Black Ops.
 
^Your favorite is "Black Cocks"?
 
so I got MW3 as my free game for buying two other games from Gamestop. I'm gonna give it more time, but last night I played it and Fvck this game so far! I'm really hoping it was just an anomaly, but it was one giant ass camp-fest. Its kinda crazy how much the game is geared towards camping though with heartbeat sensors, and kill streaks that people are trying to freak out over. But like I said I'm gonna try and give it more than 3 hours lol.

One last complaint though, WTF is up with Sniping in this. How many one shot kills from 80 yards away that hit me in the calf. Its like a more camping version of the original 1887 Dual Wield Shotgun in MW2 before they were nerfed.

Help me fall in love with this game Fez!
 
I rented it on the ps3 not very long after it came out. Felt like an expansion pack and was soon sent back, end of story. Can't believe so many people are still so addicted to it.
 
My kids played it a lot the first few days after they got it, but havent played it much since. Dissapointing game.
