With the news that Battlefield 3 will be using EA's pass system in some fashion, has the potential battle between Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3 just been decided?
Activision has not launched the Warzone and Modern Warfare 3 Gundam collab cosmetics, and also freebie skins in celebration of Pride month.
Nice to have inclusivity. Happy Pride Month to the Puerto Rican community & the LGBTQ community here in NYC.
Captain Price's fate at the end of 2011's Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 could've been very different, as this new post-credits scene reveals.
The developers have provided a little band-aid while PlayStation players attempt to get back into MW3.
I don't see how the pass will help BF3 sell better or worst. No one mentioned COD elite and how it will hurt MW3 sales (mentioned in this article). Even though COD Elite is an optional service. Also if you buy the game new, it won't hurt the gamer playing the game online.
People still buy Sports game year after year and those have online passes. The most recent one is NCAA Football 2012. SO to say that EA handed over a victory that neither Company has, is a little absurd. We sale see which game is worth it come to the respective release dates.
I'm sure Dice will have something where you can play the MP for like 48 hours to a week if you don't have the online pass. Most EA games are like that. The most recent one I've played was NFS:HP where you could play the MP for 48 hours.
Yet their was reports of BF3 having more preorders then MW3.
Plus people forget that Battlefield pretty much owns COD but last games were just joke remakes.
MW3 is most likely doom, but in the end then its just kids fighting over this.

EA is looking to punish anyone who buys and trades games...plain and simple. They make millions and millions and some bean counter somewhere said that they could squeeze those who, for whatever reason, can't afford new games or prefers to wait until a better deal comes around. It's just another example of those with the least paying for those with the most...it's all lies, these guys are full of money. Let me tell you a story about these two criminals that will now be making games for EA...
...Everybody holds Jason and Vince whattherefaces from Infinity Ward up like some sort of hero's. Devs from all around gaming accused Activision of ripping them off. Interesting enough, now that details of the lawsuit has come out, it's these two greedy goof balls from IW that are to blame. Do you know that they are in line to make 18 million dollars each...yep, but that wasn't enough as they were planing on leaving and thinking they should/could take COD with them...O_o...add to that, Activision had pooled 84 million dollars for the IW team, meaning that each member was in line to make 800,000 plus their salary FOR 2 YEARS WORK. If you think these guys aren't making money, your nuts.
In regards to dedicated servers...as of yet, I haven't heard Epic complain about Gears, but maybe that will change as they see EA are hero's for doing so.
EA has gone money crazy the last month or so. As they announce these money making scams, fanboys just shrug and say, hey, they need to make a living...O_o
btw...maybe EA is in panic mode as they try and figure out how they will pay for Popcap as it has been shown, they make about 16 million net profit a year...0_o...my math is bad but lets see, 700-1.3 billion depending who you talk to means they will have to...um...lay off hundreds and come with more Pay to play scams...see, it makes sense.
Battlefield 3 was never going to outsell MW3 in the first place. EA's CEO even said that.
I wish people would shut up with this crap at the moment. The games aren't even out ffs! JUST WAIT AND SEE! And who gives a crap if one outsells the other.. does that REALLY make the game better?
