Battlefield 3 Public Verdict

NowGamer speaks to the public at a public Battlefield 3 stand to see what they thought...

[LOGICWINS]

Guess that decides it then.

[Hufandpuf]

Did you read the article at all?

[LOGICWINS]

Yup. Was hoping people would catch my sarcasm.

[Kleptic]

yeah...I did, but most people on here won't...

so one kid says 'MW3 is a much better game'...and all of a sudden that is the headline?...

wtf is nowgamer anyway?...they've been cashing in on this kind of crap for days...

[fluffydelusions]

Wish they'd spread these games out some...BF3, UC3, MW3, and Skyrim all within a couple of weeks...

[villevalorox]

Funny how the public has a say in this when neither games are available to the public yet.

[Drake_Seraphim]

What a troll of a site!

[bruddahmanmatt]

*ALERT* *ALERT*, shitty website desperate for hits using sensationalist headline. *BEWARE THE FAIL*

[flankhim]

For newbs.

[6yo]

my verdict

[swishman]

just torrent them all and buy which one u like

[jeseth]

I was really hoping for an article that was .... well ... good and informative. I wanted to see what others were saying now that I've put a few hours into the demo/beta that dropped yesterday on PSN.

Oh well.

[Autodidactdystopia]

HAHA you are the Airstrike!!

[Kyosuke_Sanada]

XD Logic

[Sunhammer]

The problem here is that DICE made a huge mistake showing off all that PC footage and claiming consoles would come close. Fact is, they don't. The PC version is so far beyond whatever they're offering on consoles it almost doesn't even look like the same game or engine.

Of course, gameplay wise, Battlefield 3 (even on consoles) still obliterates any Call of Duty.

And yes, all of us have already played MW3, actually. It's called Modern Warfare 1, World at War, Modern Warfare 2, and Black Ops.

[Styxoric]

You just summed up everything i wanted to say.

Thanks.

[Washington-Capitals]

First part of your comment was bang on. But i dont agree that the consoles versions of BF3 offer more then the console version of Call of Duty.

The PC version of BF3 surely is a better overall product then any console version of call of duty. AND it has NOTHING to do with the graphics.

But to each is their own. If you can play BF3 not caring that the better (significantly better) version of the game is available another platform. Then by all means enjoy yourself.

[DaTruth]

The problem here is the gaming media keeps trolling the $hit out of the game for hits non-stop!

I'm already sick of hearing about the game and it's a month from release!

Edit: Rather than headline "MW3 is a better game than BF3", they make sure to write Battlefield 3 verdict, so it is what you see in the most recently commented on articles section!

[shooter747]

Okay, so what is new for every iteration of BF1, BF2 and now BF3? The answer is NOTHING. Gameplay is exactly the same. Your argument COD is always the same has already been classified as those coming from humans whose brain is half-developed or simply RETARDED.

[Gamer3000]

@sunhammer
why you have one bubble ???
i will bubble you as well said

[Sargerus]

So, by your logic BF3 = Bad Company 2 with better graphics

[badz149]

Wow way to fail there dude! Have you played or even seen BF2? I DON'T THINK SO! BF3 is nothing like BF2 at all. How are they 'the same' if BF2 was online only? The core gameplay maybe still there because it's an FPS afterall but everything else is totally new and improved.

People says CoDs of the recent years are the same not because of the gameplay alone. The thing is, they all look the same. All CoDs after 4 feel like expansion packs! Just like how BFBC2 Vietnam is to BFBC2.

In short, YOU FAIL!

[NCAzrael]

@shooter747

First off, just to show your ignorance, There was no Battlefield 1. It was Battlefield 1942, which cemented franchise as a popular team based shooter by introducing large scale maps, vehicular combat, and soldier classes. Battlefield 2 introduced the battlefield commander and squad leaders, which in my opinion was one of the best features in a multiplayer shooter ever. BF 2142 introduced the Titan gameplay mode, and still used the battlefield commander and squad leader features. Bad Company and Bad Company 2 made the franchise more accessible for consoles

Modern Warfare broke the CoD franchise out of WW2, but has continued to use the same features and gameplay mechanics in every CoD title since. They haven't even changed game engines, just tweaked the existing engine to give some graphical updates, and that's about it.

I enjoy Modern Warfare for its single player campaign, but that's really about it.

[kikizoo]

"The PC version is so far beyond whatever they're offering on consoles it almost doesn't even look like the same game or engine. "

LOl, some people try hard to justify their purchase "repeat 1000X time my ps is a supercomputter from the future, and you would believe it"

you are plobably comparing campaign on pc with beta multiplayer on consoles... and most of all : even on a cod vs bbc article, you find a way to talk about your pc, sad :)

[gumchewinasskikr]

washinton capitals

We play games to have fun, not justify our rigs and watch eye candy. Granted the pc version looks great, but what if all your friends are playing on consoles? Would you have as much fun playing the pc version with strangers and by yourself?

[kneon]

@kikizoo

I played one section of the campaign on a PS3 at EA last night and it looked good, but not great. From what I saw there are better looking games on the PS3 than this. I'd be quite surprised if the PC version didn't far surpass the console version.

[GunofthePatriots]

guess huffandpuff didnt catch it!

[princejb134]

words are cheap let the games do the talking when both games come out

[IMChampion]

That's kind of what I was thinking. Another thing too is that he says MW3 is a much better game, to my knowledge there is no public testing of the game yet so...

Yeah, he needs to stick to CoD.

[finbars75]

Decides what,that one person said they like COD better then Bf3 alpha beta with one map and one mode?????It settles nothing at all Matter of fact if doesn't make up for the other millions who like BF more then cod.So funny how people in this room can't even read what this article even says before making a stupid comment like that decides it.I figure at least Dice put out a beta where the bugs will be ironed out before release date and MWF3 has what out to test it to make sure there's no bugs???? Oh yeah another broken game on release date that fans will be complaining about it's first month.enjoy That game while the rest of us get to play something that is playable from day one.

[That_Genius]

Uhhh you do realize he was being sarcastic right? Hes making fun of people that make their decisions based on things like this.

But yeah, like everyone else is saying, there is no public testing for MW3, which means if this guy was actually able to test the game he would have to be an employee of some sort in the Call Of Duty camp. That would mean he would be a bit on the biased side.

[chriski333]

I don't understand what is everyones problem battlefield 3 is a amazing game doesn't matter which system u get it on im getting it for ps3 played the beta last nite and love every second of it

[RememberThe357]

Hey, hey, hey, hey... Hey... This is N4G we have no room for honest positivity around here.

;)

[Jack_DangerousIy]

Wow... That was one hell of a run-on sentence broski. Plus poor grammar.

*throws confetti*

[iPad]

People are playing BF3 like MW3. It's not like that. From the videos that I've seen on YouTube, people have their sensitivity all the way up and trying to play like a head less chicken.

That's the thing with CoD players. They're in their own comfort zone. If they play a FPS and they're NOT good, they automatically say it sucks and go back to playing Cod.

[sycnation]

Right on. They are what the French call. "Haters "

[Ingram]

Exactly, something similar happens with other FPS's

[AntBoogy90]

"That's the thing with CoD players. They're in their own comfort zone. If they play a FPS and they're NOT good, they automatically say it sucks and go back to playing Cod."

LOL exactly..

*looks at my brother*

[Solidus187-SCMilk]

aah hahha I LOL'd

[JaredH]

I think one guy obviously has the exact same opinion as millions of other people in the public...

[AntBoogy90]

Sarcasm win. Shame on that disagree.

[RedHotChiliPepaSpray]

EA won't be pleased to hear one guest's response, who said "I'm not sure what my opinion counts for, but basically, MW3 is a much better game."

Read the title of this article and then read that paragraph. LOL! and thats the only time MW3 was mentioned in the whole article.

[ngecenk]

i wonder whos that guy that can represent the 'public'?

[Kos-Mos]

Yeah like all the faulty
reviews of gears. Those websites is pretty shitty too. Gears is after all a kiddy game for american teens.

[fastNslowww]

not sure if serious...

[joab777]

Really? Can u b any mor rediculous w a title? I guess he got the reaction he wanted.

[Maximus Corruptor]

Was never a BF fan but from playing the beta on live I feel the same Battlefield with slightly crisper graphics. As an individual we are entitled to have our own opinions and I happen to prefer COD!

[zerocrossing]

I have an Idea lets play the games and fined out for ourselves, a little old school I know but what the hell.

[otherZinc]

After playing the BF3 beta today, I'm saving my money.

EA/Dice needs to release a single player demo to earn my $60 & $120 if the co-op is good.

As it stands, I'm not impressed at all!

[-Alpha]

One, random person says MW3 is better and it gets turned into a headline. Classy

[iamnsuperman]

and bournemouth isn't exactly the world. Nice to hear some of the responses though.

""It was good, but you expected it a bit more sparkly," admitted one visitor, "It was a night mission, I wanted something in the daylight." Funny stuff

[e-p-ayeaH]

Because its logical.

[Gamer3000]

yes that's news worthy .. man /s
one cod fanboy on the street said his opinion about a game
and the next thing you know
there is a headline on N4G
say "every one hate battlefield 3 and love MW3"

[antz1104]

...and it'll hit 800 degrees. (Insert Ron Burgundy picture) Stay Classy N4G!!

[RIPSKATEDESTROY]

yea lets not wait until the games actually release, that would be stupid.

[fluffydelusions]

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED

Logic makes sense

[Fishy Fingers]

So which bit of MW3 did they prefer? I ask, because ah, no ones played it or BF3 (finished articles).

MW is known and hugely popular, BF is new to many. Give it a chance, next time out, you might get a different answer.

[Heartnet]

its not that new to many..

[Dart89]

I bet the guy who said mw3 is much better is one of those who b*tches and moans about BF3 not bieng 60FPS on consoles.

[Hufandpuf]

Read the article, the headline is just for hits. Even a BF vet said its amazing, and vets don't usually lie. I know some bf2 players that wouldn't touch bfbc2.

[XabiDaChosenOne]

Shame on Nowgamer, that title is so misleading.

[death2smoochie]

Hey. What's wrong with one persons opinion making a headline?
/s

Now I wonder if that ONE PERSON said BF3 was better, would nowgamer.com make a headline of that?

[Dr Face Doctor]

I like how he seems to know that MW3 is better despite having never played it, but knows anyway because it's exactly the same as MW2.

[e-p-ayeaH]

many ppl already played mw3 at cod xp.

[finbars75]

And your point being what?I watched the tournament of mwf3 on YouTube and it was the same old shit with even worst perks and frags going left and right every second.Some things never change.and don't get me started on the map layouts what a joke.I hope someday activision will open there eyes and see they there game has turned into a fossil to the gaming era. The one thing I noticed was all the cod fans playing the bf3 beta and just loved it saying how much fun it was and how refreshing fps bf3 is.I thought wow usually I hear my friends who love cod hate anything to do with the BF series.I must say it's nice to see people try different fps other then just cod 24/7.

[AntBoogy90]

@finbars75

I know right? Lol.. a fossil of a game.. that's still running on a heavily modified Quake-based engine. Man, those fools need to upgrade already.

[shooter747]

@finbars, you're a piece of poo.
I played the BF3 Xbox beta and guess what, it plays exactly the same as BF2, only uglier, it has the worst graphics textures in the BF series. COD players loving BF3? Put that back in your ass. BF3 is slow, takes time to engage, move even slower so that all those campers can't easily pick you, in other words BORING for COD players.

[e-p-ayeaH]

Yes it is.

http://youtu.be/EaGaTFqULBY

[GamerSciz]

That video I hope is you. If so then it's nice to be able to come here and completely make fun of you for your arrogance and plain idiocy by being upset for getting killed by someone camping. I watched that vid and just laughed all the way through. You sound upset that you died so much because you claim to be a big COD player yet you say that BF3 would be really easy for any COD player to play and that they would own. Contradicting much? BF3 is all about teamwork and objectives. COD is just a twitch shooter, in no way realistic, and is fun for being an arcade type of shooter. I could go on but I would rather not waste my time on a COD fanboy such as yourself.

OT: Making a news headline such as this = we want hits! Pathetic...

[e-p-ayeaH]

So your admiting that BF3 is about camping.

And i wish i was the great ELPRESADOR that knows the legendary Sandy Ravage.

[evrfighter]

Elpresador is a lousy youtube personality. A friend tried to get me to watch one of his cod videos.

Why people want to watch pub scrubs dying all day is beyond me.

[spektical]

i love bf3 beta on my pc, played alpha on PC, and i dont like playing with keyboard/mouse anymore.

counter strike was the last game i played deligently this way.

anyways...bf3 is very much action oriented, its not everyones fault you play lone wolf or be a wookie

[STIKUP ARTIST]

can you play bf3 beta with a xbox controller on the pc?

[Shackdaddy836]

The guy in the video sounds like he has ADD...

[finbars75]

Lol funny video it's to bad you can't back it up.like I said above that it's nice to see cod guys or girls playing the beta but I didn't say they where good at it.I expected that but give them time.I would love to say something nice about your silly video but you really just showed how bad cod players are at bf3 maybe you should have got someone else to play the game who knew what they where doing.Maybe your video should have been about how annoying your voice was and how cod is the most overrated fps of the last four years.I give props only to COD 4 and WAW that's it after that just pure non skilled garbage.I figure if you need perks to win that tells me that you need as much help. You can get to win while BF is all about skill and relying on each other as a team base to do what you need to do with what you got to win.

[AntBoogy90]

It would be El Presador LOL.. that's rich.

[damnyouretall]

i spoke to a few cod die hards in the beta. theyre pretty sure theyll be playin bf3 next month. i refuse to buy cod, but thats me. even though it might turn out really good, i would rather devote my skills to one game,,, bf3.

[TopDudeMan]

These people's opinions don't really matter (as they said themselves) but what I've seen has been much the same of what you'd come to expect from a battlefield game. Huge maps, driving around and lots of stuff going on. If that's what you're into, then Battlefield 3 is what you want but I side with these guys.

Call of duty (despite also being the same as it's always been) is more my bag because of the arcadey style which you can't really get anywhere else. But each to their own... You have fun with battlefield and I'll have fun with CoD.

Happy gaming, no flaming...

[thespaz]

Modern Warfare 3 is obviously better because it is not Battlefield.

There are 3 kinds of people:

1. People who like fast paced, constant action, silly perks and killstreaks (Call of Duty fans)
2. People who like to take their time and earn their kills, work as a team and complete objectives (Battlefield fans)
3. People who like both because each game is completely different feeling. This player may like fast paced, in your face gameplay one day and on another day, feel like being serious.

I'm in group #1. I get bored easily with slow games. I want action, action, action all the time. I don't wanna wait to respawn... I want to be thrown directly into the fire-fight as quickly as possible. That's just the type of game I like.

There you have it.

[iistuii]

I'm not that fussed about B3 after playing the beta, I know it's only a beta but It's rush, the same rush in BBC2 & MOH, it's nothing new just like the conquest was in B2 on my pc years ago. People go on about MW being all the same, well correct me if I'm wrong but I was capturing flags, flying jets, driving tanks,dropping ammo and healing people on B2 years ago. I know that there's not a lot left to do in these multiplayer games that hasn't been done before, but it makes me laugh how people go on about this game as if it's some kind of saviour, yet to me the beta feels like a new map on BBC2, just an opinion...

[Captain Qwark 9]

well for starters..........

your 100% correct, i see zero changes between bad company and this other than some new vehicles so im not sure what the craze is about. however i love battlefield and buy everyone one that comes out becuase i love the feel of the multiplayer, just my type of game....

so to sum it up.....

BF3=same as all others but prettier and with slight tweaks

MW3=same as the other with new perks and slight tweeks, maybe prettier

get the one you enjoy or both but seriously stop comparing, neither is better its a matter of opinion. they play nothing alike, the only thing they have in common is that they are miltary first person multiplayer based games.....

[RegorL]

You have not played Battlefield 3 Beta Rush until you successfully armed and destroyed (or at least disarmed) a M-com.

These are the natural "fast paced, constant action" spots.

With a half good defensive team you can not do it yourself, at least not by run & gun...

[blaktek]

They don't even try anymore... Hits trapping used to be sly, pernicious and sometimes downright evil.

Lazy lazy lazy journalists. Trying to light a flamebait with wet matches and corn syrup.

[TheFirstClassic]

What a pointless article.

[jmac53]

The author of this article is a sensationalist twit. Public verdict does not equal one person that likes MW3 better.

[beast242tru]

they said black ops was better than medal of honor also but i dnt think soo i like medal of honor multiplayer alot more than black ops but the story i think black ops edged out

[AKA]

what!! are you crazy ? i try to keep going on the campaign of BO and i just could not i had to stop its crap and only a kid or a blind fanboy will things its good...

And the online was better but short in features and game modes and COD have more options but yeah the controls and gamepace was better in MOH.

And liek most non blind fanboys are saying B3 is a let down it just fells liek BC2 but with better animation and cool recoil but the rest is w/e...

plus "every bullet count" my ass
headshots need few bullets to work and and i to shoot almost a clip to take down someone wtf!! very arcade...

!!!!KZ2 is still the FPS kind this gen... just like BLACK was the king last gen!!!!

[Jack_DangerousIy]

It's funny... most jerks on here seem to have never passed 3rd grade English.

It's called proofreading broski. That was just painful to read.

By your logic.... since you LIKE KZ and you weren't crazy about the Black Ops campaign then YOU ARE A BLIND FANBOY!!11!1!.... See how utterly stupid that sounds bro?

You have a right to your opinion. I don't play the CoD multiplayer or the KZ. I loved the Blops campaign. So... I guess since I enjoyed a CoD single player campaign and I play BC2 multiplayer every day I'm online oops! I must be a CoD fanboy!!

WOW!

I'll reiterate.... You need to take a step back, and off of that high horse and, on your way down take a handful of chill pills.

Try and remember that YOU have a different opinion than that guy you were insulting. So you are OBVIOUSLY a fanboy because you don't agree with him /s.

*rolls eyes* You need to leave this site man.

[AKA]

well not everybody was born in the US or english is juts a extra leanguage i have to know.
my main one is Spanish and its normal to get attack by ignorance people like by by a stupid argument i mean you play CODBO lol don't need to explain nothing to a sheep like you

[iNFAMOUZ1]

call of whaaaat?

[JonnyBigBoss]

LOL. MW3 looks soooo repetitive, while the BF3 beta has been phenomenal.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

Wow, Nowgamer...thats 2 days in a row you post articles that are flamebait aimed at the BF3 crowd to get them all fired up. First it was the 360 has bad textures... which as it turns out was nothing different than the PS3 version. Now you "interview" a few people...one says MW3 is better in his opinion and you turn that into the title of the article. What an awesome site you must be... /sarcasm

[BX81]

So what you're saying is both consoles have bad textures? Few... I was getting worried. It's ok as long as both are bad. I want BF3 to be great but if you've played the beta you would know that it is well short of great. I don't know if they can fix everything in this game in less than a month. I hope so.

[unicron7]

To people here claiming they were expecting PC quality visuals on consoles...I can only laugh at you. Your own fault for having high expectations. Even with it's visual downgrade from the PC, it STILL manages to look better than MW3. Why? Maybe Activision should start using a new engine instead of rehashing the same one from 2007. Use some of that money they are swimming in to actually update the franchise.

[LoneWanderer09]

This is my story when am sniping. 3 completely different games

COD: I get called a fucking camper i just LMFAO

Battlefield: Good job taking down the guy charging the fuse.

Killzone: nobody says anything, because they can't see me Hahahaha

i play more with an assault class, but sometimes i just feel like sniping people

[TheWeepingKiller]

I guess 1 person's opinion is the whole public verdict. Thanks for wasting my time author.

[Beastradamus]

They are two totally different games. Why can't people get it?

[Gigglefist]

So glad someone else sees that

[IaussieGamer]

ROFL people are saying MW3 is better though they have not played it and all they have played is a simple Beta of Bf3 Failed article yet again

[Urmomlol]

Now Gamer, you suck. Seriously. YOU SUCK.

[3GenGames]

He's played MW3? Oh yeah, wait...he knows what it is because of MW2...And MW, and both other pre-modern COD games. Hah! What a joke. Even if it IS better and you like it, if you buy this, you're just plain stupid. I've got MW and MW2, and yeah, MW is great and MW2 is average, but there's no sense in buying this 3-pete POS 2007 IW4 engine mod.

I'm sure this kid is one of the ones that probably spawns with an assault only to shoot grenades. Probably doesn't even give you ammo, just spawn and runs off to get raped and does absolutely nothing for the game. Let's move on and we'll act like this never happened, because we all actually know Battlefield is Above and Beyond the call.

[shooter747]

@3GenGames, all you do is write COD hate on this site over and over and using same old lame retarded arguments. Are you part of the EA marketing team propagating BS in a competitor's product? If not, then honestly man, look yourself in the mirror and say with all you're heart, "Yes, I am a douche bag, a pure loser and I will die someday an unhappy man".

[3GenGames]

I prefer to be called a speaker of truth.

And my comments are newer than the game. -ba duh pssssss-

[artdafoo]

Yes, MW3 is the better game,good now.... Stay the the eff away from BF3 COD boyz.

[M-M]

Can't wait until I get my hands on the beta :). (I'm aware it's on the PC, I just play aggressively like this.

http://www.youtu.be.com/64d...

[BrianC6234]

This is lame. Neither game is even out yet and these idots are giving MW3 the best game of the two? Don't base anything on a beta. Wait for the real games.

[Venjense]

If it is then it must be much worse than BFBC2 because that was way more enjoyable than BO

[Squadron40Dive]

Trolls trolling trolls

BF3 is better...................

[Ninver]

I'll be the judge of that when i try both games.

[fullmetal297]

*Talks to a few Beta players
*Ask them their opinion
*Assumes everyone's opinion is theirs

[applepie_svk]

And who decide ? 14-15 years old MW3 kids ? Guy rly ...

[BrokenGamez]

flamebait garbage

[PixL]

Psychologists say that there is an age in development of every pubescent male human where genuine curiosity of other boys' genital organs comes into play. They also say it's not a sign of homosexuality, just an undestandable stage of growing up. Therefore, boys so much like to compare their penises, games, their sales, consoles and graphics.

[SCW1982]

Guess I won't be supporting this sight any longer. Great Journalism Ass holes!

[zizco5]

BF2 whith better graphics they say and what about MW3, its going to be the recycled game of the year.

[Apolloeye]

Hmm, NowGamer, I now understand...

[CrimsonEngage]

yea, because both games are officially out. Let's base our opinions around a Beta. HURRRRRRR DERRRRRF

[william2502]

I'm sick to the back teeth of this crap. Both titles will have their pros and cons. In the end it comes down to personal preference. I personally enjoy enjoy CoD more-so than BF. Doesn't mean it's better, it just means its my preference.

Everytime I come onto N4G all I see ,"wah wah, the bad man said something about BF" "You started it, you said something about CoD". It's boring.
Who actually cares what other people buy/rent/play?
Other games & news are being pushed to back because of a squabble about 2 games that will have new iterations out next year!

If scientists put as much effort into medicine as gamers put into squabbling about CoD & BF, we'd have a cure for cancer.

In short, grow up people, it's no wonder the gaming industry is frowned upon.

[denero1]

a troll site smh

[Snowii]

vanish this fail website from the veil of the night!

[krauler]

I really like FPS games but I feel like I am the only one getting tired of military shooters? I need me some Timesplitters or even Rage seems like it would fill the gap. R3 was a good variety for a while but the multiplayer seemed a little too familiar.

(edited for grammar)

[csreynolds]

Well, those four or five people spoken to have helped me decide which game I'm buying...

*rolls eyes*

[Jafooli]

BF3 is a much better game than MW3.

Quick write a new article nowgamer.com, the public has just spoken.

[Virpoja]

This "article"... Talk about whoring for views

[PantherDST]

I just love articles that state my opinion with asking me. Because if they had asked me I would have said I like BF3 multiplayer over any of the COD games. I like the larger maps and varied gameplay styles, vehicles and so forth.

[Hayabusa 117]

Since when did the opinion of one person count as "the public verdict"?

[ThreshStar]

...aaaaaaaand if Timmyshire was the person who titled this piece, they should be banned from commenting/titling anything on the internet. ever.

You, sir, disgust me.

[ATi_Elite]

Good!!!!

Then hopefully this will keep all the N0obs off the BF3 servers!!

[Eyesoftheraven]

Created for fun and lighthearted discussion, this is a high quality comparison video of Battlefield 3 beta on PC Max vs. Xbox 360 720p.

[OdinFallen]

Freaking flame war!!!!!! Run for the hills!

[banner]

I actually started playing blops not too long ago and I have to admit, I was asking my self why didn't I play online when I got the game for xmas?!

Its just plain easy fun and leveling up is a blast too. I really don't understand the extreme hate cod gets around here.

I understand if its just not for you but why ppl that like it have to be a little kid, sheep etc.

I know why... Cause everyone loves to hate the one on top.

[SheenuTheLegend]

same here
i enjoy it too much n i m 22years old
best fps ever made
nuketown(the most successful multiplayer map ever), firing range, summit, jungle they r fuckin gr8
there is reason why cod is number 1
here r just 500 to 600 people hating cod
but out there in the ral world
there are 20million fans waiting for the next one

[bub16]

bf is shit

[shammgod]

The headline is one jokers opinion

[renegade]

Just a couple MW3 fans were there to troll thats all!

[peeps]

flamebait title is flamebait.

The actual title is 'Battlefield 3: The Public Verdict'

and the quote 'mw3 is a much better game' is by 1 person they asked lol.

I'm not disputing that persons opinion because even I'm having doubts about BF3 having played the beta, but to use 1 person's quote in an obvious attempt to gain hits is low

[RealtorMDandDC]

PSN: ProPaperPusher

IDK what to think yet....what COD does very well are weapons sound effects...COD games tend to show my 7.1 surround system some serious love...

Graphics are nice....for a beta..I will purchase BF3 no matter what it does seem like great fun...

--FYI..I recommend people set up an EU account....since EU is about 6 hours ahead...I was able to DL BF3 beta a lil earlier...before it hit the US PSN

At it's core, BF3 is such a fun game to play, all the politics, hype and controversy surrounding it are irrelevant in my eyes. Sure I'm playing the PS3 version which may not be as good as the PC version but its the most fun I've had with an FPS ever in my life and I hardly even like the genre. Can't wait for the full release.

title fixed!

I'm expecting another fix to just 'Battlefield 3'

This is in no way a public verdict. Why didnt they just pick any one of the millions of youtube comments.

I know everyone is going to disagree but this game is way overhyped. I've played it and really don't like it at all. Nothing but BC2 with better graphics and more vehicles. Tons of spawn raping, camping, poor hit detection. Very disappointed.

Don't worry, I don't plan on buying MW3 either. That's just MW2 with the same graphics. I'm just surprised people don't demand innovation in their games. There's absolutely NONE in this game or MW3.

Here's a REAL verdict.

The graphics on my 360 where AMAZING.
I was getting shot up repeatedly cause I kept stopping to look around and admire everything. I was blown away.

Second, BF IS NOT COD. But I don't mean that in a derogatory way. What I mean to say is that fundamentally these games exists in separate universes. The play style is completely different.

I tried the run and gun method in Battlefield and was getting murdered left and right. Nope, that wont work.
Try alternate paths to your destination, I counted like 8 (minimum) to get to the subway station underground and that's from a starting point from above ground in a park.

Try creeping and checking the horizon, not camping, cause muzzle flash and and sound will give you away PLUS now you can blind other players with your scopes and laser lights.

The game is dope and excellent and CAN live nicely with COD. Why?
Because COD is the polar opposite of this kind of game-play.

Call of Duty embraces a more visceral run and gun type of game-play which is also loads of fun.

Bottom line. Although I have not played MW3 (yet), this game Battlefield 3 left me SUPER IMPRESSED and salivating for more.
and I am confident that the same players that play MW3 will be playing BF3 also simply because it will be a matter of

"what kind of game they want to play that night"

Graphic wise you don't have to worry, a lot of it has to do with your setup also remember that, as well. HDMI cables, modern TV with motion plus and all that jazz, but the game will not disappoint.

Besides, you cant compare ANY game with a souped-up PC with a Core I7 and a kick ass video card to a PS3 and Xbox 360. That's retarded.

Don't even look at those comparison shots. Ignorance is bliss man.

The games fun but its not visually impressive yet which is ok, but the games filled with campers got shot down 5 times in a row due to it, its very, very frustrating other than that its cool.
