How much you want to bet MW3 fans told BF3 fans that the election is tomorrow? That's a classic Red State trick.

Connecticut and Florida BOTH need recounts, and no fair getting the Supreme court to stop them.

surgency4719d ago

Believing the election is on a new day.. that's a classic blue state failure ;)

I am BF3 and I demand a recount in Texas!

I_find_it_funny4719d ago (Edited 4719d ago )

would be interesting to do this for Europe and see all the countries but too much work

gedapeleda4719d ago

I can tell you BF3 gets the crown in Eu.

I_find_it_funny4719d ago

I did it for my country its 54% for BF3

evrfighter4719d ago

Remember blackops sold 5 million in california alone.

California by itself can put a huge hole in koticks ship

FlareDReborn4719d ago

I demand a recount in Texas as well!!!!

Wenis4719d ago

Yay my fellow Kansans voted BF3.

TheBand1t4719d ago

mississippi knows what's up

Skip_Bayless4719d ago

Well I think BF3 is forward thinking therefore it's a democratic party and MW3 is more corrupt make it the republican party. I always vote democratic but I'm on the fence because the supposedly the console versions will be way inferior to the PC version of BF3.

lol this is sorta cool. BF3 FTW!

Trunkz4719d ago (Edited 4719d ago )

Now let's do Canada, all the provinces would be blue :D

saladthieves4719d ago

Ontario for sure :)...it's pretty blue here!

SilentNegotiator4719d ago (Edited 4719d ago )

MW3 should be blue, since it's for the sort of people that would be neo-populists.
Equal lack of quality for all! Yipeeee!

Anyway, I see my state has voted MW3. Figures. Crazy IL.

iamtehpwn4719d ago

If BF3 does even half as well sales wise as Modern Warfare 3, It's really a victory for BF3 when you consider how've they pushed their game to be a competitor this time around.

Legion4719d ago (Edited 4719d ago )

At least they got it right and made BF3 the blue color. More progresive and less set in their old ways.

So did BF3 at least pull out the Popular vote? Just looking at the key battleground states it appeared that BF3 could have gotten the popular vote in those states alone... wondering how the actual full count turn out looked like?

Also, we have to understand that not one person one vote in this sampling. So hard to use the electoral format in this case.

Legion4719d ago

"In 2000 there were a total of 538 electoral votes available with 270 needed to win. Republican George W. Bush, with 50,456,002 popular votes won 271 electoral votes. His Democratic opponent, Al Gore, won the popular vote with 50,999,897 votes, but won only 266 electoral votes. Bush was elected president."

Goes to show that more people might want one thing but the Electoral College system can make you loose the election. Glad gaming isn't an election process.

AEtherbane4718d ago

They should have redone the electoral votes to mimic the amount of players in each state. Then this would have been a lot more interesting

Jack-Dangerously4719d ago

dgonza404719d ago

Rick Perry is why it sucks :p
Yes, im from texas.

Paralex4718d ago

Not surprised that MW3 won. It's clearly the better game.

I_find_it_funny4719d ago

in US you have to register to vote, how stupid is that

davekaos4719d ago

No you dont!

As long as you are a registered uk citizen then you can vote

Sabian1874719d ago (Edited 4719d ago )

@davekoas When do you register to be a UK Citizen.
According to http://www.electoralcommiss...
When you're 16, but you can't vote until you're 18 just like in America

I registered for the Draft when I turned 18 and that also "registered" me to vote.

According to http://www.aboutmyvote.co.u...
You need to be registered to vote in UK elections and referendums

davekaos4719d ago

@Sabian

You have to regester if you are from another country, those born in england are registered via british birt certificate.

which means the time you reach the age of 16 you are automatically on the electoral roll, which means you are able to vote

So my point stands correct i think you will find

Arknight4719d ago

Yes, how ridiculous...instead, we should just let anybody walk up and decide who the leaders of our country will be.

gamingdroid4719d ago (Edited 4719d ago )

If you can't figure out how to vote or find it too troublesome to register, then I fear what your vote will be!!!

DarkestTemplar4719d ago

"in US you have to register to vote, how stupid is that"

Not very...

MW3 would mop the floor with bf3

Trunkz4719d ago (Edited 4719d ago )

MW3 being the messy old person that it is WOULD have to use something new and fresh as BF3.

ZombieNinjaPanda4719d ago

Except 10 year olds aren't allowed to vote so I doubt so.

Legion4719d ago

Mop the floor? Doubt it... but it could pull a Bush and get enough votes in the right places to squeek one out. American public can really be ignorant and vote for the hype versus the substance. (of course you could probably say that about a lot of countries)

Simco8764719d ago (Edited 4719d ago )

Battlefield wants a re-count because of those hanging chads in Florida

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

melons47d ago

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.

Gridknac47d ago

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.
