This game is just a little over a month away now. It's almost here! Luckily there are more games then Battlefield so the wait isn't unbearable.

It looks like they tried too hard on the trees. To my eyes, everything else looks good in a realistic sense except for the trees, like too many pixels and too many layers when in reality you sometimes have clumps of leaves together.

Who cares.
COD has over 500 people working on it
COD XP had the second most viewers of Live Streams ever
COD has over 41000 lines of dialog
COD has Elite that is a paid service that doesn't offer anything worth paying for
If you can't tell that I'm making fun of COD because they haven't announced anything that is even remotely amazing as BF3 then you need to go to sarcasm school!
While BF3 is releasing amazing gameplay, screen shots and a beta soon, COD is releasing pointless garbage to make a s h i tt y game sound appealing..sry Hacktivision..it's not working.
GoGo BF3!! Can't wait!

What's so amazing about BF3. It's nothing but shiny graphics and the same game modes from BC2, and the same weapons from MOH. OH yeah...you got one new feature...you can go prone.

You haven't been keeping up to date with BF3 have you? I can tell.
1. It does have some same game modes, but it also has new ones that were never in any BF game before. COD has been using the same ones for 7 years...so what were you trying to prove there?
2. Same weapons? Again you haven't been keeping and eye on BF3..There are some weapons that have never been in the series ever..scratch that, there are a lot. COD has been using the same weapons since COD4
3. Don't try to ever say that BF3 is the same you COD clown.

OFC it won't kill COD. There are too many dumb gamers out there that like easy games so they will play MW3 so they can get kills. BF3 is for the people that like a challenge..and that like games that look good.
Just because a game gets more sales doesn't mean it's better. It means it's easier. Too many lazy gamers today can't stand a challenge.

@Slomoshun Ah, the BF Elitist.. So rare of a person... So cool. So Loyal.. SO WHAT.
LOL, Sorry, had to say that.. When y'all get of your high horses, y'all can join me in a match on MW3.. same name to the left on XBL..
It's guys like y'all that moved my reserve away from this game with all y'all MW3 bashing. I will now get Gears of War 3 instead of trying to rent it.
THANKS GUYS!!

Not elitist. Realist..
Sry I can't join you on XBL, I don't play outdated platforms. I like to look at games and be wow'd by the graphics and I like to play with controls that don't move like a robot.
Nothing you will say will sway anyone towards MW3 over BF3. Anyone that buys MW3 is a sucker. If you're ok with paying $60 for a MW2 expansion then by all means, do it. But don't come in a BF3 thread and spout nonsense.
BF3 has the best graphics(on PC), large maps, big player count, realistic gun sounds and bullet trajectory and the ability to fly planes/helis. If you want the complete opposite of that, by all means go and buy MW3.

@Slomoshun Woah, woah, WOAH!!! Hold on there buddy! I'm not trying to sway NO ONE! I just find it amusing that y'all BF3 fanboys can go on and on about how better BF3 is gonna be!
" I don't play outdated platforms."
"Anyone that buys MW3 is a sucker."
"If you're ok with paying $60 for a MW2 expansion then by all means, do it."
L-M-A-O!!! Feed me MORE, LOL!!! WOW!! Spoken like a true fanboy!!
-Look, young'n, why don't you just play BF3 and enjoy it for what it is, not spew nonsense about how much better it is than MW3. Seriously, that goes for everyone. It won't be the top played game when MW3 comes around and I don't think it will be played more than MW2!
Just don't be too upset when it doesn't do MW3 numbers.

Did you not read the rest of what was said?
OFC it wont be the top played game. There are too many lazy children out there that will buy MW3 purely because it's easier than BF.
And you call me a fanboy?
I'm married and have children of my own. Yet you play XBL, you probably played COD with my 4yr old son, whats that say about your precious MW series? So easy a 4yr old can play it.

That's all you COD players use...COD will outsell BF games..
Who cares...I think if gaming history has taught us anything it's that sales don't mean a game is good. Example: COD Black Ops. People bought this pile of s h i t because it has COD on the title. That is the only reason.
Red Faction: Guerrilla was an amazing game, had bad sales.
Far Cry 2 amazing, lacked sales
COD Black Ops - Broken pos with unbalanced weapons that broke records..
As Agent Mulder once said, the truth is out there...you just have to look in the right place.

True. MW set the bar, Activision never raised it.
Along came BF - and whoosh. Raised it and never lowered it!
COD.... well, its just simply stagnating with new map-packs, sorry, new releases each year!

You don't feel like voicing your opinion on the lack of creativity in most of today's gaming?
You're ok with the state of today's games and the price vs quality?
Fine
Feel free to stay out of the discussions about those topics. Nobody was talking to you.

Oh. My. Gosh.. You mean to tell me somebody let you Tap that, Seed it up and give you Children so you can sit them in front of Call of Duty??
No wonder we have small kids spewing all kind of Racist and Foul Crap. Parents (if you really have kids) like YOU.
I guess you're a "Lazy" parent then... Sitting your "Lazy" Son in front of the TV, playing COD, while you're on your PC rig playing Battlefield.
SAD.

No trolling, I can't wait for BF3 either, but what game modes are you refering to? TDM? It was in 1942. Rush, Conquest, Squad DM, and Squad Rush were all in previous entries as well. The only "new" one is Conquest 64.. Which isn't really all that new in terms of gameplay; The player count is increased though. Once again, not trolling, just saying. Don't flame someone else if your facts aren't 100% factual.

Sounds like the beta should be towards the end of September, with the intentions of a day-one patch to correct issues found in the beta.

I'll be getting both BF3 and MW3, however, I do find it interesting that no one is showing much of the console screens or video for BF3, I wonder why that is? to me it's seems BF3 is all about the PC graphics and not the gameplay or the console versions, i'm hoping that is wrong.

I first played CoD. I'll admit that I loved it. I bought Black Ops, played through it, and it was trash. Played the multiplayer, and it lacked that intagible zing. Something about it was off. I did enjoy Zombies, but not enough. When it came time to clean out my collection, Black Ops went (while I kept much "lesser" games like Fuel). From what I understand, MW3 will be much like MW2 with changes to make the mulitplayer more competative, more fluid, and with more variety (realativly). Which is exactly why I intend to buy BF3. I want something truely different. I even went so far as to preorder it.
