I think it's going to be Battlefield for me, they're building it for PC and it looks like a 2011 game. Immersive, realistic and large online multiplayer. MW3 on the other hand looks ridiculous, like a 2008 game (I'm guessing this is still using the CoD 4 engine) and would be a console port.

Both look fun to play though.

I personally hate how BF fans are slating MW3 and praising BF3 even though they've played neither and neither is anywhere near finished :/

------

Anyways, going to purchase both for Xbox 360.

I wouldn't call it slating really - more like a distinct lack of optimism in new games in the franchise. Nothing new has really been done since COD4, and even the most die hard fans are starting to realise that. MW3 might turn out to be a fantastic game, but I think most are disollusioned by BLOPS and MW2.

Both, I see no reason to limit myself to one.

I don't know who are buying their games full price these days either, especially when it comes to CoD, I have bought the last 3 CoD games on release night cheaper than pretty much all other new games in the last few years.

I have a feeling that even although the COD hype cycle hits ever year (OMG POS FRANCHISE... okay bought.... it's good!... OMG BROKEN PIECE OF UNFAIR POS, BOYCOTTING, and repeat), MW3 will end up being a really good MP game, and the one everyone will be playing.

That said, BF3 will also be really good.

So I'll just wait and see how it pans out, absolutely no point to pledge allegiances just now.

The hype cycle in my experience was - OMG a new COD it's gonna be so awesome, everyone get it! Then everyone (including me) gets it and half if not more are incredibly disappointed. - And it ends there. Battlefield games have a lasting player base because (in my experience) they have much better game play.

This ^^

I'm not going to pay $60 for another crappy console port, that looks like it time warped from 2008. I will on the other hand gladly hand over $60 for a real 2011 PC game, such as BF3. In fact I may pre-order it from EA's store. I haven't decided yet.

I may get MW3 when it hits the bargain bin on steam or something, but it's definitely not a must have IMO.

This. Even though I'll be playing on XBL + Xbox 360.

I responded both, although I have made it pretty clear on these forums I much prefer the Battlefield series, I am a gamer at the end of the day, and as such I will experience both.

Me too, and for the same reasons. (Y)

I'm confused why people want MW3 for multiplayer and single player for BF3. Battlefield has always focused more on multiplayer than SP so I'm quite surprised about that. With my experience with CoD games, they are more of a frag fest than anything. People running around with 2 knifes, jumping through windows and killing people and stuff like that. With playing both MW2 and Black Ops, Battlefield 2 and BFBC2 feel much better games (though, I prefer BC2 more). The huge maps, the vehicles. And the one thing people are forgetting about BF3 multiplayer, 64 player servers! <3

BF3 on PC for sure, even bought new hardware for it already. Pre-ordered when was announced and sucks having to wait so long but surely will be worth it.

MW3 is just going be snorefest of the same old everything that was in MW, MW2 with more utter rubbish layered on top that people play then makes those people think they have a valid informed opinion about guns and functioning of the military and special forces.

Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days.

      WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it
