Should I buy MW3 and/or BF3?

by Ethr • 8 Nov 2011, 14:43 • Journals
Looking for a game to buy/play for fun not necessarily competitive (for that i'm getting CS:GO and praying it works :p)

So should I get MW3 and/or BF3?

I've only seen BF3 on PS3 where it looked pretty poor graphically and the game play wasn't exactly that great but apparently its good on PC :/

After MW2 im suspicious of MW3 but considering it has dedicated servers and they've removed alot of the gayness from MW2 it could be good.

What do you think?

Thanks - Josh

mw3 has dedicated again?

Ethr 8 Nov 2011, 14:46
yeh! you have to enable it in the search browser but they are there!

I remember people playing console Black Ops games on dedicated servers (ran by Microsoft for X360 I believe) and them thinking it was great. I guess IW gave in because of PC gamers and Console players both wanting dedicates back :p

well Valve have already sponsored like 2 tournies in order to get BETA feedback from top players...

BF3 looks poor graphically? erm well if it does (by your standarts) then the new cod looks like hl1 engine when compared.
what do you want?
loads and loads of weapons to chose from, shooting only, conventional shooter = mw3
class based, objective, small OR large scale battles, vehicles (or none if wanted) = bf3

bf is usually more appealing to ET players cause it features classes.
cod MP has always been about linear fragging only.
and bf really caught up when it comes to weapon customizing (none of the gay camo bullshit but you have a really large number of optics and attachments to chose from to customize the weapon for your individual needs)


e: Black Ops had dedicated servers aswell but was an appalling failure to anyone who expected more than "unlock gun, paint it, stick shit onto it, camp in corner, be happy about 5-0 kill streak"

BF3 on PS3.... i haven't seen it on PC
And I agree, MW3 is in the dark ages tech wise.. it still uses idtech3 more or less...

I'm not bothered about graphics really, Ive just finished playing RAGE and that was a beautiful game but it lacked depth.

What do I want... well I enjoy CoD for being a conventional shooter and being easy to play. BF never appealed to me becauses of the vehicles (but they can be disabled) and because the classes aren't really the same as in ET. I guess BF is more flexible than CoD...

If I want large battles I would play ARMA and get 1000+ AI :p

What I really want to know is whether they're good games or not to play - or whether they're absolute crap (like Mw2 was)

well seeing the route that activision took with the cod franchise from cod4 onwards...
you will be disappointed if you dont like that.
cod is all about unlocking guns, sticking stuff onto that, painting it and engraving your name onto it (just an example of the black ops faggotry).
if you didnt like mw2 (and BO for that matter as it is "mw2 2") then you really wont like it.
if you dont like large scale battles you can just use bf3 that way (medic, ammo guy, engr, covops sounds quite like ET to me) but you really miss out on many things the game has to offer and one could consider it a waste to buy it.

I always preferred Call of Duty instead of Battlefield, i guess its just your about your personal taste, do you like driving tanks and flying jets and shit, buy bf, if not, buy cod.

HugTheSub 8 Nov 2011, 14:52
dude just dont talk rubbish.
dani isnt even playing maps with tanks and stuff, you should know that by now. bf has maps and modes to be pretty much like cod (weapons only, small maps/stages, straight forward shooting action) but offers more if you want more.
you are ignorant and everyone we know told you that.
you have neither bf3 nor mw3 so who are you to talk?

gr0ss 8 Nov 2011, 15:04
hmm, i've seen upgrade level 33 already :c therefore 25+ is kinda good :x
but well, 10 more levels to 70 and then farming the summit :-)

gr0ss 8 Nov 2011, 15:32
pretty good drops, not sure if halloween spooktacular on insane is better, but as a reward you get an animus as pet, which is pretty sick
Parent

HugTheSub 8 Nov 2011, 15:34
well the spooktacular got better drops on normal or hard than summit does so id expect the drops on insane to be better aswell.

lol BF fanboy detected. He is right, BF3 is for flying, CoD quick action fun, quicker games with less 40 year old virgins.

HugTheSub 8 Nov 2011, 19:35
no. i have played all titles of both series and i have posted many lines today explaining the differences in detail.
your 2 liner doesnt even come close to being true so gtfo and take ur ignorqance with you.

Seriously, it's a well known fact that CoD has more players. The game modes are a lot shorter (comparing all game modes to BF3 modes). CoD is for fun and entertainment, while BF3 is for realism & tactical play. CoD4 used to be covered in snipers (a few less than MW2), but now that's changed since Black Ops. BF3 is basically hiding, sniping or rushing 1-2 kills dead, hard to get killstreaks with such slow game play. I have no idea how you can even say BF3 gameplay is similar to that of CoD.

If everyone else agree that CoD is different and you're the only one who disagree's, who does it sound is right? THE MAJORITY.

you agreed with someone who did not play any cod or bf, not the majority. and by the way you state stupid stereotypes i guess neither have you.

Ethr 8 Nov 2011, 14:52
if i want to fly planes and tanks I'd play ARMA so I don't care about that
Parent

HugTheSub 8 Nov 2011, 15:00
think of bf3 as the codish version of arma.
and mw3 the developed version of mw2/bo.
Parent

kartez 8 Nov 2011, 14:55
think bf is more objective than cod

and a bit closer from et

can waste a lot of time on bf3 public :~>

MW3 is just a crappy rerun. (Also fgsfds, a cess pool of several different developers)
Been playing BF3 for a couple of days now and I'm really enjoying it.

Futimojo 8 Nov 2011, 15:13
because u allready played mw3 for a couple days...
Parent

arca 8 Nov 2011, 17:11
They have added nothing new into the game since CoD 4, what they're doing is basically selling mods for the price of a full game.
Parent
▼
Futimojo 8 Nov 2011, 22:33
And you still didnt play it vor a couple days.
Parent

arca 8 Nov 2011, 23:35
The game has absolutely nothing new to offer, therefore I'm not going to waste a penny on it.
Parent

Futimojo 9 Nov 2011, 00:06
How you now that it don't haz anything to offer if u dont fucking played it.
Parent
▼
arca 9 Nov 2011, 00:20
Because that's what they've been doing ever since CoD 4 and I know enough people who have played it.

Futimojo 9 Nov 2011, 00:25
Still u didnt play it!

buy BF3 not the 60 euro map-pack MW3!

Money.
Wasted.
3rd time.

MW3 isnt a new game.

Battlefield 3 is great, thought I would dislike it because I don't like vehicles in my online games, but it's actually really really good. MW3 will be purchased eventually but Skyrim is out on Friday so might hold off for a little while.

Payed 50 euro for BF 3... what a shit game. I seriously do not lie when I say I prefer to play BF 1942, which is about 10 years older? Gameplay for me is horrible.
Kinda liked SP from MW 3 like all other CoD games.. MP seems to be alright, not that I will play it a lot.

And yes older games are more... what shall I say, charming? More fun anyways.
