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

Agreed, if anything its MW3 for SP; BF3 for SP + MP. But I just got into BC2 and other than that it was CoD:Black Ops because it'd been a while since I had an Xbox, got a 360s for Christmas and got what my friends were playing. Now I know better and will be converting them to BF3 (hopefully). Would love to see some awesome BF3 Multiplayer footage similar to the great 12 minute video we have of single player.

IF, my PC allow me to play (doubt it), I would like both.

Surly if I have to buy new PC parts I may not be able to buy both, so I will have to make a choice.

One thing is sure, if MW3 have the same MP experience as MW2, I will probably not get it.

I just wrote this to a friend in an email as we were talking about gaming and COD specifically, and after thinking about it some more, I believe this is how I feel about it all...

I have been thinking about the fact that I may very well be passing completely on COD MP this time around since it comes out so close to BF3. I figure I can play the SP on PC, I am definitely into the SP, no doubt, and just play BF for the MP. Will see, if some more news comes out that really makes it the MP a must play I may reconsider, but you know my interest has slowly been dwindling with the series. I am also really considering the possibility that BF3 may warrant upgrades to my graphics cards, so thinking the less games I purchase around that time the better. Just also being realistic, games like Uncharted 3 also come out around that time, so with the small amount of hours I get to game now regardless, and that time of year is always hectic with the holidays, etc. etc., I won't even have much time realistically to play BF3 MP, never-mind COD's as well. So if I have to choose between the two of them, well you know which one I am choosing. Like I said will see, but that is how it probably is going to play out.

Pretty sure that is exactly how it is going to play out for myself. I am serious too, I think my 2 460's should be able to handle BF3 just fine, but if not, I would strongly consider upgrading my graphics card just for the game itself. And I see a few others in this thread also saying the same. I think that says something about the expectations of BF3.

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

I think that has more to do with how CoD has been lately. For many, CoD died after MW. W@W was a great game once Treyarch got the update train started for it.

Thanks to Steam for the free play weekend on Black Ops, it just confirmed that I had saved $60 bucks and made the right choice in not buying it (for me that is, to each their own).

MW3 for the multiplayer and the campaign while BF3 for probably just the campaign. While I still excel in Battlefield's MP, it is just slower paced due to the larger maps in comparison to the COD series. I'm hoping MW3 can ride Black Ops success because looking back on the past 8-9 months, it has really been solid unlike MW2.

BF3 is going to be the shizz!!!! I can't say that enough, all I know is if I had to ability to dedicate a few years to one thing, and one thing only, it would be mastering the BF3.

I'm still playing BF2 on my spare time and i'm going to spend the next 6 years kickin' it on this game as well... The only problem is I'll barely even have the weekends to play, but shiz, it still doesn't stop the fact that BF3 is going to be sweet and I'm going to love it for many many years.

MWF3 will probably be cool too though, but literally, we BF2 fans have been waiting over 6 years now!! Almost time..

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Taliseian · Posted

      I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
