    It's just different strokes for different folks. Some people like progression, some people like the same thing over and over.

    Some people like both, as noted when I said I'll also be picking up BF3. I think some people get too hung up on what's comfortable versus what's progressive. All I care about is whether or not it's fun.

    Never thought I'd receive so much flak for being a CoD fan.

    They arent hating on you..just COD. I was a COD fan for years, but they havent had a new engine since 2005, Everything is the same. The kids on there drive me nuts, way too many. Im glad I found Battlefield. This will be the first year since 05 Im not wasting my money on the same shooter.

  • I can see why someone would get both. One is more of a fast pace arcade shooter, while the other is a team based strategic shooter. I of I was going to grt both though I would just get MW 2 again since it's practically the same game, ya know?

    I am not giving you shit for being a COD fan. I was just stating that I have grown tired of it. Obviously I am in the minority because the game sells like crazy every year.

    After reading what you posted on BF3 earlier there is really no need to buy MW3. BF3 is going to have some of the smaller maps that are mostly infantry and a lot corridors for close quarters combat.

    The only thing that COD has is killstreaks which I hate. MW was a great game. Since then they have added to many things that have ruined the balance of the game.

    As far as age demographic goes, I'm not sure you will be in the minority this year. COD targets kids with an easy shooter that is more on the arcade side. That is why you hear all of those screeching voices on the mic. Battlefield targets the more mature player that wants a tougher experience, and that is why you NEVER hear any screeching voices on the mic.

  • The new Need for Speed looks like shite. Other than their brief foray back into Hot Pursuit, NFS hasn't been respectable since they left Underground, which is sad because I used to be a huge NFS fan.

    I am watching gametrailers right now and they are talking about it. I am not sure what to think about it. Really the only car game I play is Gran Turismo.

    That's what I'm watching, too. Not a fan of they way the've taken the series. I'll stick with Forza.

  • You know, people may call me crazy, but with all the new tech we have now, I'd love to see DICE take BF back to WWII or Vietnam, maybe as DLC sometime down the road.

    They did Vietnam in BFBC 2 and it was awesome.

    Oh yeah, forgot about that. Never got around to picking BFBC2 up... might still anyway to pass the time now that it's cheaper.

    Oh, and I think you might get to use tanks in BF3. I'm not totally sure yet, but that's what I'm gathering from this live stream. biggrin

    Wait what? They have tanks in this game. I had no idea. I haven't seen any videos or anything about tanks.

    I over heard it in Burger King, so I may be totally off base.

    Yeah probably. I hope they show some footage of this game running on consoles. I want to see how good it looks on a console. We know it looks amazing on PC already.
