MW3 or Battlefield 3?

[donkeyd]

Which one is better and why?

Personally I dont think that MW3 can beat battlefield for the online gameplay. Its not instant gratification like MW3 but its the shiznit for the strategy and skill required to win. I also love that the KD ratio is a non-factor.

k/d ratio could be a nonfactor in cod but too many people use it as their gold standard already. it's also because 1 person is able to dominate an entire round. whereas 1 person can easily be avoided in bf3.

i tend to like battlefield because once the launch day twats leave for other games, it tends to level off from the dumbassery and generally gets better and more fun to play. whereas cod gets people asking for nerfs for certain weapons because so much of the game is on the guns. i.e. AK74uMAD?, famas, etc.

It's also because bf3 allows on-the-fly adjustment for what you carry. You die, you can change to adapt. not just classes you set before the match and get screwed for having because some guy is being a douche with a certain gun.

also no kill streaks. just vehicles that you need skill to control.

they really are apples and oranges though. totally different play styles required. it's just a matter of taste and preference.

bf3 has more potential but mw3 will run better and contain fewer glitches

both have balance issues and lack content

PC: BF3

Console: I suspect MW3 but I haven't played since COD4.

Battlefield and it isn't even close for me. There are guns that are terribly over powered, tiny ass maps and lots of bull poo hit marker issues. I did enjoy mw3s story a lot more than battlefield and spec ops is always nice. But BF3s miltiplayer is so much better IMO.

Where's the option for pie?

Apples and oranges. Depends on what kind of FPS you like. COD is more of a run and gun twitch shooter. Battlefield is a game based around teamwork and strategy. Both are good at what they do. Also, Battlefield has bigger maps, vehicles and destructible environments. I prefer Battlefield myself.

I don't like either game much but if I had to choose I'd say MW3. In Battlefield the maps are too large and the spawn points are too far away. MW3 you spend most of your time actually doing something that is productive and fun. BF3 most time is wasted waiting to respawn or traveling to where the enemy is. Both take way too long.

I'd agree with this. It's like comparing Burnout Paradise to Gran Turismo. I'll take Burnout Paradise any day of the week over GT, but that's because I like arcade racers and exploring towns in cars as opposed to driving in a circle and turning left for 48 hours.

Battlefield kicked my ass. I'm sticking to COD in the meantime while sprinkling in some battlefield to level up and get better.

I think it's funny that people think MW3 is instant gratification and BF3 isn't. What is the spawn wait time on BF3, like 5 seconds tops?

someone called cod a twitch shooter. that tells you all you need to know.

My point was that in BF3 it takes time and teamwork to win the game. (At least on Rush and Conquest.) Also the instant gratification in MW3 is greater because of killstreaks and smaller maps. I think in BF3 that the reward doesn't come as often but when it does it feels better making the game overall more fun. Also, I am so sick of the stupid sh*t in COD like spawn camping, having to unload an entire clip to kill someone and 5 year olds running around with overpowered weapons. Also, when there are 2 people playing under the same account i.e. dbo5001(2) it leads to an unfair advantage because the teammate can see where you are through the split screen. Im not saying COD is bad. Hell I played the the crap out of mw2 and black ops but MW3 is just disappointing. Its the same stuff with different maps. MW2.5
