We put the two biggest shooters of the year through their paces across nine different categories. Duncan Jefferies, MSN contributor, finds out which game is worth your money.
The developers have provided a little band-aid while PlayStation players attempt to get back into MW3.
Recently, players of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone were met with a new bundle featuring the B.E.A.S.T. Glove, inspired by King Kong's armament in the Godzilla x Kong movie. However, the $80 price tag attached to this themed accessory left many Call of Duty fans feeling underwhelmed.
Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash
Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.
They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.
I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.
The famous comedy duo is the latest example of pop culture becoming one big grey blob
Certain to have some sort of reference to their online store for CBD/THC chews, which is advertising heavily online the last month or two.
The randomness of the multiplayer characters is one of reason I quit playing COD after briefly returning in 2022. We got Space Marines, rappers, tree monsters etc. all in a series called “ Modern Warfare”.
I think if there was ever a time for a competitor to rise up and take away some of Call of Duty's thunder, the time would be now. A military shooter that takes itself seriously, not sold out to Fortnitism. Easier said than done, I know... but the time is ripe.
I can't stand this stuff either.
There are tons of MP shooters that make no profit, if you're looking for one of those
You guys have been saying this shit since 2009. Fortunately, nobody’s bringing down cod anytime soon, if ever.
I agree. I really didn't like how the silliness takes away the gritty origins. That and all the crazy effects... dunno. I'm still playing it but I'd love for someone to steal their cheese and cater to grittier players
@fsfsxii It's not so much wanting COD itself to die as it is wanting this silliness to die. Like CrazyCoconuts said, it takes from the grittiness. Many OG COD players want a straightup Military shooter experience, not silly costume time at Carnival.
is this what the kids want these days a pair of iconic stoners who were big in the 70s and have kind of held on I enjoyed their movies decades ago but I never recall the movie where cheech infiltrates a enemy base while chong snipes for support guess I must of missed that one
Man I'm getting to old for this
In my opinion both failed on their promises but anyways Skyrim tonight! x)
A decent comparison, but I really disagree with point #4 (Weapons). I think BF3's weapons are much better: with no aim assist, bullet drop, recoil and their general feel are all more realistic in BF3. Not to mention great attachments and no quick scoping. How could you rate MW3's weapons better? If that section was switched to BF3 (or at least a tie), then BF3 would have been the winner in this comparison. But then again, I would have also put BF3's MP as better than MW3, so it is the overwhelming winner for me (with MW3 only winning SP campaign and co-op). I don't hate COD (in fact, I loved it when it first came out); it just has become old and boring to me: basically the same thing every game since 2007 (even the engine hasn't really changed). It's like COD has become too annualized; just like Madden.
The weapons category is laughable at best. I like the Modern Warfare series quite a bit but the weapons being better in MW3? Give me a break. For Sound, Visuals, Feel, and Upgradeables Mw3 doesn't touch Battlefield 3. Also I just lost the draw of run and gun after playing Battlefield 3 which is a bit more tactical.
I was compelled to buy bf3 but hired mw3, bf3 singleplayer had too much dust effects in cut scenes looked stupid as did the wino who was the main charcter meth head or soldier?.Still loved it,mw3 the singleplayer is over the top but still fun,bf3 has better multiplayer and achievement incentive to continue playing prestige means nothing to me.
Weapons MW3? Dude you actually need to play BF3 before commenting n ive played both. The weapons in COD games are so floaty it requires a lil alcohol or something for me to start accepting them as war weapons.
BF3 on the other hand provides a certain connection, cannot say it is of a real weapon coz i've never held one but it does feel right.
Extras MW3? Dude Battleog is similar to Elite and its friggin free.
Multiplayer Tie? Lol I own both games and owned BFBC2 and Blops before that n in both BF wins by a large margin. Consider map design, hit detection, pacing, gameplay mechanics etc. dont look at modes as both could innovate there. Look at whats integrated before the modes even exist.
BF3 is a league apart. It doesnt mean COD isnt fun. I enjoy it once in a while. But they shouldnt be compared together in the same level.
Just because the media are pitching them against each other doesnt mean CODMW3 is in the same league as BF3.
