Neowin FPS BF3 vs MW3 Purchase Poll

[Pupik]

Already pre-ordered BF3 (on PC) and gonna stick to my routine of skipping COD games since MW2.

[Alladaskill17]

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.

153 votes, nice representation in my opinion. Bumping for more possible votes/better consensus.

MW3 looks like they are releasing the same old game again, white battlefield 3 is innovating and looks like they will give proper love to the pc. The choice is clear.

[NienorGT]

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 am currently without a PC and working only on a laptop which would be unable to play either, If I could however it would be BF3

i voted Neither.

p.s. Call of Duty series is overrated. by the time it hit the big time it lost it's appeal for me overall. but i did like it back more in it's earlier days.

I created an account just to vote for BF3. Last COD I played was MW2 and the online play is absolutely horrible so I sold 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.

bf3 fersure. cod so boring now. the second i discovered how great bfbc2 was i returned all my cods

Battlefield 3. MW2 was a glitch-fest with some TERRIBLE "perks" that are just laughable. Black Ops was a complete mess at launch and just play right. Definitely looking at Battlefield 3, both for single- and multiplayer.

[zeke009]

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).

[Alladaskill17]

BUMP for more votes, been a while.

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.

[Alladaskill17]

Bumping for more votes / community accuracy.

[way2quik]

MW3 for PS3.

All my friends are telling me to get BF3, get BF3. Meh.

[SierraSonic]

BF3 but only if it's on Steam.

[Alladaskill17]

Bumping now that there is info about Origin, pre-order differences, etc. How do people feel?

[Kyle A]

MW3 definitely.

Battlefield games have always been a disappointment for me one after another.

Also, with BF3 only being on Origin, it's like it doesn't exist to me.

[rajputwarrior]

mw3 for PC.

Also, with BF3 only being on Origin, it's like it doesn't exist to me.

and mainly because of this

[SimplySchizo]

BF3, for PC of course!

[holori]

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..

[_I am Reptar]

BF3. I find much more mature people in BC2. CoD has way more annoying people.

For PC.

235 votes! Bumping for any fans of either game that might've missed the poll.
