BF3 or MW3. Which are you buying this year?

Serious Sam 3. 

I obviously hate CoD and only played Bad Company 1 but I loved it and BF3 looks fucking... words cannot explain.

Battlefield 3. I am so sick of the Modern Warfare aspect of FPS games at the moment, and the latest BF3 trailer blew my mind with how awesome it looked.

Modern Warfare 3 hasn't even been announced yet.

I kind of want to see what MW3 is with more than just IW.  So I'll buy neither.

One will be a retread of it's former self and the other is gimped on consoles. 
 
Warhawk sequel godmotherfuckingdammit.

Battlefield 3 for sure. MW has run its course.

I'd be willing to play Battlefield 3 if there's going to be a competent team surrounding me, preferably people I know. I'm willing to meet anyone who wishes to play in a team too. Playing with randoms in BC2 got boring after a month.

" Modern Warfare 3 hasn't even been announced yet. "

Well, I guess I should throw my vote for MW3, if only because the CoD games are CRAZY. There was a castle in MW2. A CASTLE!  
 
Come back to me when there's a castle in BF3. 

Is it not possible to buy both? :3 
I enjoy the Call of Duty single player and I enjoy the Battlefield multiplayer so I would give both a chance.

So? We know it's happening.  I'm going to buy Modern Warfare 3 as I've never played a Battlefield game before and CoD's multiplayer appeals to me more than BF's. "

I played literally an hour of Battlefield: Bad Company (single player) and found the Haggard and Sweetwater characters so spectacularly stupid that I traded the game in the following day. Seriously, it was so dumb it ruined the game. Even though these dumbass comic relief characters aren't in Battlefield 3 and as weak as MF2 was, I would still be more likely to spend money on a new Modern Warfare game. Hoping at least it would be as good as the original Modern Warfare.

why cant i just get both?

Battlefield 3

" @FluxWaveZ: So you never played a BF game and CoD's multiplayer appeals to you more? Get your ass to a game store and buy Bad Company 1 or 2. Hell, buy both."  

Battlefield 3.  Bad Company 2 already replaced Call of Duty for me.

Probably Battlefield.  Haven't played a Battlefield game in a long time.  Don't want to play another CoD game.

Wait, you didn't even play the multiplayer? The thing that the entire series is built around? Everyone regarded the singleplayer portion as the tacked-on bit. "

All we saw of BF3 was a sorta decent trailer, all we know of MW3 is its legal woes and that three developers and a billion red Chinese are developing it. I think I'll pass on both until I see more.

I've always found CoD to be extremely overrated and Battlefield 2 is still the best online shooter i've ever played, so theres my answer.

" Well, I guess I should throw my vote for MW3, if only because the CoD games are CRAZY. There was a castle in MW2. A CASTLE!   Come back to me when there's a castle in BF3.  "

Why not both?  
 
But failing the option for both, I'd get BF3, because it's a proven series from a proven studio. Don't get me wrong, Infinity Ward was great, they knew their stuff, and Treyarch aren't bad. But MW3, assuming it is coming out this year (and it almost certainly is), is being produced by Sledgehammer with help from Ravensoft. Or, at least, that's what I've heard. Multiple studios, none of which have made a CoD game before, are working on this project, and frankly, that scares me. MW3 COULD turn out to be great. But that's a "COULD be good" for MW3 Vs a "PRETTY DAMN SURE it'll be good" for BF3.  
 
Remember, the Title doesn't mean anything, it's the team BEHIND the Title. And the Team behind MW2 is gone, looooooong gone, and the team behind Blops isn't working on this.  
 
And the most damning thing is the rumour that they are actually aiming for a metacritic rating of 95 - they have a metacritic rating as a goal, and that never bodes well. You start off with the desire to make a great game, not the desire to "get a 95 on Metacritic".  
 
All major studio games are ultimately driven by the executives desire for profit, so I don't begrudge Bobby "No-Bonuses" Kotick for demanding that they produce another MW3. I mean, EA are making BF3 for mostly the same reason - you know, money. But DICE have been around for a long time, we know what they can make, and the quality of the product is more-or-less assured. With MW3, right now, the whole thing's a bloody cipher wrapped up 3 mouth-watering layers of riddle, and deep-fried in an enigma, with a sweet mystery glaze. Until they release more information and let someone get some hands-on experience with the game, I'm afraid I just don't know enough about it to think about buying it. 
 
EDIT: Also, the "Modern-day shooter" genre is dying from over-saturation, much like how the WWII genre is dying. They better go future-tech fast. Remember, the WWII setting seemed fine right up till the point where it died suddenly. I get the feeling that the "Look! I'm holding an M16 and I'm shooting non-Nazis for a change! I guess it's modern!" is growing really stale, really fast.

Battlefield 3. I'm pretty much done with Call of Duty.
   DICE is a studio I really trust and their games are actually pretty good. I love their engine and they always seem to keeps real fresh, even within the FPS genre.
 
I think if I were to keep playing shooters, it would only be one's by them.

Well, many people praise Battlefield's multiplayer over CoD's because it actually requires team cooperation and one can't go all 'Rambo' if they want to win. I hate that. My most played game mode in CoD is FFA or any other variation and I want to cooperate as little with a team as possible in my multiplayer games. "

I just hope you don't go to the army dude. "

BF3 because it's a real game at this point. MW3 will probably be announced sure, but it's a patch work job without the original creators on board, so I'll probably wait for reviews and user feedback before I jump aboard that train.

What the hell does that have to do with what we're talking about? Are you really, really comparing Call of Duty or Battlefield to the army in real life? "

never played  battlefield but the third one looks cool so far 
i get bored of cod .pretty.quickly so probably .not buying it

i'll probably get modern warfare 3. battlefield 3 on the PC is where it's at, my computer probably won't run it. i need an upgrade but don't have the money to do it.

If Modern Warfare 3 is a direct sequel to MW2 I'll go with that.
 
I want to find out what happens to Soap and Cpt. Price :3

None ...... I am tired of the "one lane" game designs of these FPS , also BC 1 had a good satyrical story and was original , but then we had Bad company modern warfare 2 and all went to shit. and there is COD stupid story ad naseum part 3 coming , lame . Also I had my fill with dumb stories with KZ3 for the year. So I no longer will buy these games ,  may not hamper their development but at least I know Im voting with my wallet  , not that I expect it to work anyway :(

This thread is retarded. One because we know nothing about MW3 or if this year's game is indeed MW3. Two because we know of BF3, but very little, and three because there's no reason you can't fucking buy and enjoy both games.

" If you give BF a chance and play the way fps's should be played, I think you'd like it. "

I'm also pretty sure there is ffa in BF. (Hopefully)    

uh both....if it's not a diredct sequel to modern warfare 2 I won't but CoD. Otherwise I'll be one of the 50 million people to buy MW3....

This just makes you sound like an elitist snob.

I'm certain there won't be.  Different strokes for different folks, dude. If you play FFA in CoD, you'll come to realize that camping is barely a problem as you won't be nearly as efficient compare to a mobile player. You described demolition there, but like I said before, I'm only ever interested in modes like FFA or other variations as I don't have to worry about supporting a team and I just need to worry about myself. FFA is more tense and just fits the way I play much more. Also, I have no care for "realism" in this style of video game.     "

Half of the people saying they won't get MW3 probably will.

How does that make me sound like a snob? Because I don't think it's fun to go all rambo on another team? Because I think it's much more fun to actually work with a team to win in a game? I'm not trying to say Bf is superior over CoD.   

 If you give BF a chance and play the way fps's should be played, I think you'd like it.
