Battlefield 3 faces "heavyweight fight” with MW3 – EA boss

BeefJack: "Battlefield 3 will be “going into a heavyweight fight” with Modern Warfare 3, says EA President Frank Gibeau – but his company intends to “go after the shooter category” from now on, as he continues to talk up the face-off between the two franchises this autumn."

Man... EA really want that CoD cash, don't they. Still it can only be good for games - competition is healthy.

BaneWilliams4727d ago

Competition IS healthy, and you can always buy both :D

RedDead4727d ago

I REALLY hope EA win this one, just so Acti will realize they need to do something new with Cod.

Spitfire_Riggz4727d ago

Go look at the pre-order charts... MW4 on its way folks

Trunkz4727d ago

Well at least their not releasing a Yearly Battlefield, tho I don't think MoH will do well in sales now it's already off to a bad start, they hyped it to death and made great on sales but only cause of hype it turned out to be partly rubbish, so I dunno what they can do to convince people to get it this time.

CaptainMarvelQ84727d ago

Competition is healthy when you have two companies competing and bringing new things to the table and improving the game in order buy the fans

NOT when you have two games,one of them is doing nothing new and still get's the win with blind support from fans

JsonHenry4727d ago

BF3 will win the fight for my PC and MW3 will win the fight for my X360.

I will be supporting EA. As should everyone else who cares about games.

stu8884727d ago

is this a joke. For the most part EA dont give a toss about consumers. If your supporting DICE fair enough.

Ares844727d ago

About 5 years ago, this would have never came out of anyones mouth. How much times have changes. Even though that first day DLC for Battlefield 3 is something I despise, I hate Activision more for compleatly fucking up COD.

stu8884727d ago (Edited 4727d ago )

MW3 sales will destroy B3. DICE haven't even shown console footage of B3. They should have at E3. Console sales is what dictates the market.

Reviews will likely be the same, on the consoles.

On PC MW3 will score 8.5. B3 will score 9.

JeffGUNZ4727d ago

How is he a tard? He is acccurate on the fact that they haven't shown this game running on a console. You think it's ironic they are only showing this game running on a top of the line gaming rig? Console gamers will get the watered down version, a Bad company 2 upgrade.

The pre-order charts are clear, showing a massive interest for MW3 and a not so great interest for BF3. I will end up purchasing both, but you have to open your eyes.

stu8884727d ago

mahfuz im stating a fact that u B3 ass lickers cant take.

I will get both too

blackz0014727d ago

There are no "thoughtful" ads in video games, EA

I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.

But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.

Hofstaderman6d ago

EA can thoughtfully eff themselves.

Makersbreath26d ago

EA coming back for the crown of being perceived as the worst company in gaming.

Chocoburger5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

One of my favorite series is the THPS franchise, and it was packed with ads, but it didn't bother me. Posters for skateboard companies, JEEP, and Nokia phones. It did sort of fit in with the game world, but that was the past, these days ad would be intentionally intrusive or unskippable loading screen type of imagery. Ugh, I know EA would do it in a horrible fashion. Screw them.

Report: Sexual Misconduct Investigation Conducted at EA, Suspects Named and What They Did Revealed

EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.

isarai11d ago

Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.

Cacabunga11d ago

I wonder if it will be censored with some in game ads.

MrBaskerville9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

Microsoft did, Phil Spencer played a minor part. He instigated the buyout that led to Kotick escaping all his controversies while getting a golden handshake.

Someone on Twitter calculated that the people hired in Tango and Arkane Austin could get a decent salary for roughly 17 years for the money Kotick was paid.

InUrFoxHole8d ago

Yeah some thing tells me Kotics $ was already guaranteed before MS made the deal. As for the studios... Let's be honest here... none of those studios made system sellers.

XiNatsuDragnel11d ago (Edited 11d ago )

EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.

MrBaskerville9d ago

Then they shutdown Codemasters and studio behind Jedi Survivor.

Atleast they could hardly do much damage that EA hadn't allready done. EA has shut down most of their studios by now.

ravens5211d ago

What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.

Extermin8or3_11d ago

I mean part of the issue is that things transpired outside of work....

MrBaskerville9d ago

That's the thing he mentioned about not being a creep at all.

KwietStorm_BLM11d ago

You think deviants care where they are? Work sometimes makes it an even better situation for them because they can abuse their power.

mudakoshaka10d ago

Nerds think they are Gods when they are making video games.

NotoriousWhiz11d ago (Edited 11d ago )

"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."

Yep, EA is disgusting.

Extermin8or3_11d ago

I mean the fact stuff happened outside of work puts EA in quite a difficult position legally. These women don't seem to have reported the matter to the police which kinda ties EA's hands on what they can do. If they don't file reports of the crimes then yeah from EA's perspective it is stuff that happened outside of work. The only exception is the guy that apparently referenced things in the slack channel for work, spending on what he said proving it may be very hard and he may well be able to get away with plausible deniability. I don't like EA and I think these people need to be dismissed but without any legal action being taken, EA can't really do much without risk of being sued themselves for unfair dismissal etc.
