MW3 vs BF3 my point of view.

 So during the past month two of the world's shooters came out. The ever grown title Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and the less popular Battlefield 3. Both games are first person shooting games, both are set in the near future, both have multiplayer and both have their annoying fanboys clashing against each other. Yes, ever since the games came out MW3 fans have put down BF3 while BF3 did the same towards MW3. Each side claims that they are the best. I'll be honest, I like both games very much, in fact I love both games. Although I played every Call of Duty since the series began in 2003, this year I decided to not buy Modern Warfare 3 for person taste. With all opinions on the side I'll tell you which is the best.

This is a shot from the Modern Warfare 3 campaign... nice looking gun! Get those tangos down!

 -Modern Warfare 3: In the single campaign the story begins where it left off in MW2 and now you'll be going around the world across cities like New York, Paris, London and Berlin. Throughout the story you'll for sure endure intense moments that will give you the WOW factor. I really cannot explain much more on the single player campaign because I haven't played it yet. But because MW3 is just revamped from MW2 I can ensure you that it will be great if not amazing. Multiplayer is again the same formula from CoD 4, of course now it will have more bling. By bling I mean customizations. It's a fast paced game that will  take place in 16 maps, with different modes like Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Sabotage and etc. A new mode, called Killed Comfirmed is also new with the game. Basically it's Team Deathmatch but with a twist. The list goes on and on about the features in Multiplayer...

New York skyline! Good place to fight a war :) Hopefully the game doesn't predict the future...

 Tech wise, the game is using the same engine that they made 2 years ago for MW2. So it is showing a little bit of age but it's aging quite well for the moment. The fact that they use the same engine from 2 years ago means that the graphic improved little ever since MW2 came out. The game also runs at 60 frames per second, that gives the game its smooth edge while playing. The audio is also good, but it's static, meaning that if the player shoots his gun indoors, the shots will sound the same if he was outdoors. All around the game has a good engine that will deliver great performance.

In the end Call of Duty is an amazing game, but veterans will notice that it's the same game over and over every single year. This doesn't hurt the sales but it does leave an impression after a while. And in Multiplayer, camping does tend to piss the average player... but that's part of the game. But with the extra bling, great engine performance, impressive campaign and competitive multiplayer, it's no doubt a great buy.

Stunning effects from Battlefield... it would make an adult say WOW!!!!

-Battlefield 3: Single campaign is a deja vu, it will be fun but all around you feel like you've already done this. Yes the story is good but many have said that the story has been influenced by other games. So Battlefield is running short on the campaign! But multiplayer is a different story. In multiplayer you have huge maps.... some require ten minutes to run across, and I'm serious. The multiplayer also has tanks, jets, Humvee/Jeeps, boats and Helicopters. All of which is free to use whenever available. When including the vehicles, travel time will be cut tremendously. Customization is also presented in this game, you can choose a camoflage for the soldier, you can put attachments on guns and vehicles, you can have custom dog tags and finally you can choose one of the four classes available in the game. There is also 4 different game modes, like Conquest, Rush and etc. Mind you that this game is heavily dependent on teamwork and patience, it's a slow paced game. Call of Duty vets will not like that, unless they are willing to change their gaming habits. Although it's a slow paced multiplayer experience expect many intense moments that will make you gaming rather very amusing.

A shot from Battlefield, look at the stunning  details! 

 Tech wise, the game has an engine called Frostbite 2.0, which is a massive upgrade from the previous Battlefield. It also has destruction 3.0, which allows players to destroy the environments around them, making the game pace constantly. The game does run at 30 frames per second, but this is a slow paced game. So in the end it really doesn't matter. The graphics are just impeccable, best graphics so far in a first person shooter. That's not an opinion, it's a fact. If you compare MW3 graphics to BF3 graphics you will clearly see the attention to detail in Battlefield. Audio is also a step further than Call of Duty because the Frostbite 2.0 allows sounds to differ considering the environment in which it stands around. You can actually clearly hear if the sounds comes from the left of the right! Overall the game does have an edge over other games with it's Frostbite 2.0 engine. This engine is also a big selling point for the majority of it's customers.

In the end Battlefield makes a huge mark in the first person shooter market. It's on the same level as MW3 thanks to it's newly built engine and competitive multiplayer. Although multiplayer is slow paced, Battlefield players need to to work together to win. Thus more thinking involved when playing this game.

So who's the big winner? NO ONE! You can see both games are in the same genre, but both are very different when it comes to playing. Call of Duty is fast paced, leaving the player rank up and having to mostly think of himself. In Battlefield the game is slow paced, and the player is almost forced to cooperate with his teammates or else failure is certain. It all comes down to how YOU play... you like rushing all the time.... Call of Duty is there, you like playing in teams while planning your moves ahead, Battlefield is there.
