Neowin FPS BF3 vs MW3 Purchase Poll

[Alladaskill17]

As it states this a poll for which game you'll be or intending on purchasing, between just these two. To make it simple on thread viewers feel free to state your:

- choice in game

- If single player or multiplayer is the deciding factor

- platform you'll be most likely to purchase for

- other deciding factors such as "community" "graphics" etc

Neither, cause I won't be able to play them.

Neither, cause I won't be able to play them.

Lack of desire or platform? Just curious.

Both, more than likely. I like the look of both Singleplayer campaigns, and I enjoy playing the MP of the CoD series. I'm a bit hesitant about Battlefield's MP, but I'll certainly give it a go.

Both for the PS3.

Battlefield MP is probably one of the best online games you can play!

[Sadelwo]

Battlefield 3 for the single player on my pc. I'll let my friends get Modern warfare 3 on PS3 for the get-togethers.

Perhaps, but I've not played a Battlefield game in years, and Dice's handling of the multiplayer aspect of Medal of Honor has left me wary.

I hadn't played a battlefield games either myself until 2 days ago; BF:Bad Company 2, single player with only an hour or two of MP, highly recommend it even if you just rent it. For now I'm still playing CoD:Black Ops multiplayer 5th or 6th prestige, so it's not like I'm bias. =)

BF3.

MW3 is going to be more of the same, ridiculous over the top cinematic action sequences and crappy story jumping around into different people. No thanks.

[furyshinobi]

Neither since I got other games that interest me atm. Only FPSs on my radar this year is Rage and Deus Ex: HR.

[ReDFoX2200]

BF3

What I really hate about Call of Duty series they are always over priced :whistle:.

[CGar]

CoD multiplayer won't come close to BF3

I have to agree, especially when you still see W@W for 30 and MW2 for 40...

[Jan Veteran]

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.

Call of Duty: Black Ops $60 -> never goes on sale

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 $30 -> and usually goes on sale for $7

[epk]

Not for 60$, but BF3. I don't buy COD games anymore (last one was 4: MW).

Platform, my Xbox has been broken for more than a year, and I haven't felt the need to replace it since I didn't use it all that much.

My PC won't be able to run it since it barely ran Black Ops, and there will be numerous engine enhancements from the MW2 engine.

[Ayepecks]

Battlefield 3, hands down.

Going off previous experience, it has nothing to do with being a fanboy. With BF3 theyve made huge updates to the engine, IW keep using the same old crap over and over and over again to tell the same story in different settings.

[Kronir]

Definitely BF3.

I might pick up MW3 when it gets cheap enough ($25 or lower) solely for the SP campaign. We'll see.

[mikebiacsi]

I put both, I'm definately getting BF3 as soon as it comes out. I'll probably get MW3 at some point just to finish off the story.

[Paul Ferson Veteran]

Both, but Battlefield 3 over Modern Warfare 3. I prefer the gameplay of Battlefield and I'm eager to get some time with Frostbite 2.0. The Modern Warfare 3 trailer did not appeal to me all that much, to be honest. Sure, it'll be a decent game but Frostbite 2.0 is going to be a real game-changer. Modern Warfare 3 looks like more of the same - which might not be a bad thing assuming that it has decent online.

[Green_Eye]

If I had to choose between them I would pick BF3 over MW3 about a gazillion times but I don't have to choose between them so I will eventually get both but I doubt MW3 will get 5% of my overall gaming time for this fall. To put it in perspective I have easily spent over 3000 - 3500 hours clocked in on BF2 with many different accounts. I suspect BF3 will be no different (Y)

[gkl]

BF3 - I will preorder it as soon as it's on Steam. Regarding MW3, I'll probably, erm, acquire a copy and just check out the single player.

[qdave]

Both since one doesnt hurt another.
