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..

      You're absolutely right! No reason in hell these should be on the road!
    • This is how much iPhone 18 Pro could cost after Apple's price hike confirmed

      By Phillip0web · Posted

      They aren't going to want to. Most would just go with the 17 Pro and save money. Why would they want to spend $300 for basically the same thing? It's not worth it if there are hardly any changes from year to year.
    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build

      By Steven P. · Posted

      24H2 rolled out to the Release Preview Channel in early June 2024, so this coming a bit later in the Experimental Channel (formerly Dev) doesn't really say much more than earlier H2 releases that came out in October. I am not sure what the thinking is here by putting it in Experimental, one would think that the 26H2 stamp means features are locked down and it's now bug tested until October? I don't even pretend to understand Microsoft's strategy for Windows Insider Program though

      Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds Pro 2 with active noise cancellation drop to lowest price ever by Fiza Ali With Prime Day 2026 scheduled to run from Tuesday 23 to Friday 26 June, Amazon has already begun rolling out early access offers ahead of the main event. Particularly, Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds Pro 2 wireless earbuds have dropped to their lowest price ever with limited Prime deal offering 33% and 24% discounts, respectively. Nothing Ear (a) are equipped with 11mm dynamic drivers featuring a PM1 + TPU diaphragm. For noise control, the earbuds offer active noise cancellation (ANC) of up to 45dB across frequencies reaching 5,000Hz. The smart ANC algorithm adapts to surrounding noise levels, while a Transparency Mode allows users to remain aware of their environment when needed. Connectivity is handled via Bluetooth 5.3, with support for AAC, SBC, and LDAC audio codecs. Additional features include IP54-rated earbuds for dust and splash resistance, paired with an IPX2-rated charging case. Furthermore, users also benefit from pinch controls, in-ear detection, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, dual-device connectivity, and a low-latency mode designed for gaming and video playback. The Nothing X app unlocks a range of customisation options, including a personalised equaliser, bass enhancement, control remapping, ear tip fit testing, firmware updates, dual-device management, a Find My Earbuds feature, and low-latency mode settings. When it comes to the battery, the earbuds house a 46mAh lithium-ion battery, while the charging case contains a 500mAh cell. With ANC disabled, users can expect up to 9.5 hours of playback from the earbuds and up to 42.5 hours in total with the charging case. With ANC enabled, battery life is rated at up to 5.5 hours per charge and up to 24.5 hours combined with the case. Finally, fast charging is also supported that should provide up to 10 hours of playback from a 10-minute charge with ANC turned off. Nothing Ear (a) Wireless Earbuds (Black): $53.20 (Amazon US) - 33% The CMF Buds Pro 2 feature a dual-driver audio system consisting of an 11mm bass driver and a 6mm micro-planar tweeter.

They further support active noise cancellation of up to 50dB across a frequency range of up to 5,000Hz, and noise control features include a Smart ANC algorithm, Adaptive ANC, Transparency Mode, and Clear Voice Technology 2.0. For calls, the CMF Buds Pro 2 use a total of six microphones and feature an environmental noise-cancelling algorithm, Clear Voice Technology 3.0, and Wind Noise Reduction 3.0 that should improve voice clarity during conversations. Furthermore, when it comes to the connectivity, it is provided through Bluetooth 5.4. Additional features include an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, in-ear detection, a low-latency mode, and a Find My Earbuds function. Moreover, through the Nothing X app for Android and iOS, users can access custom EQ settings, a bass enhancement algorithm, customisable controls, Find My Earbuds, low-latency mode, dual-device connectivity, an ear tip fit test, and firmware updates. The earbuds contain a 60mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery, while the charging case houses a 460mAh battery. A full charge of the earbuds and case via USB-C should take approximately 85 minutes, while the earbuds alone should be fully recharged in the case in around 60 minutes. Battery life is rated at up to 11 hours of playback on a single charge and up to 43 hours with the charging case when ANC is turned off. With ANC enabled, playback time is reduced to up to 6.5 hours on the earbuds and up to 26 hours with the charging case.

      I'll move to it when it hits beta, I suspect.
