MW3 vs BF3

[Shiftdnb]

BF3 you can only communicate with your squad so no one hears what you're saying when you kill them.

[trendon]

Yeah cause it's not like you can't mute them and folks who play bf3 wear top hats and tuxes while sipping dom and settling disputes in a gentleman fashion.

I'll tell ya, I have not seen such unbecoming butthurt fanboyism quite like what I've seen from Biffie and AJ. It is rather startling. You guys sure you are adults?

[BFiVL]

Make a statement like that and I retort and I am a fan boy? Little off base since I havent said squat negative about bf3 while blowing mw3 in a shower. Don't give a shit what folks play

[ajalves]

play BF till the cows come home, i just disagree about the MW sound opinion you have.

the maps are a bit small.

ADN, that video still stinks you posted

Sorry, it just seemed as such. I got accused by AJ of "insulting [your] intelligence" because I said a YouTube video helped convince me to purchase Battlefield. And, to stay on topic, you can choose with whom you wish to communicate; nobody, squad (of four), or team.

In any case, I just sold Modern Warfare 3. This has been a unique year for me with regards to brand loyalty: Rift replaces World of Warcraft and Battlefield replaces Call of Duty. Good thing Apple products aren't as good as their competitors!

As I read this on a 7 year old mac laptop that runs like the day I got it. Never owned a PC longer than 3 years and I actually worked in IT so I knew what I was doing with viruses and such.

This is the only opinion I will argue. The sound is absurd. I need to get my hands on Modern Warfare 2 because it did NOT sound like this. The guns sound like they are from the future; a bad sci-fi flick. Either way, I will miss Mosh Pit just like I missed Medley in SOCOM. A truly brilliant idea that is so simple. Everyone I have ever spoken to aside from AJ goes, "Yeah, I guess it is nice" as if the ability to play a random map and mode is something that is not important. I can't think of any games other than Call of Duty and SOCOM that ever had it and I simply don't understand why.

And I have been an AmigaOS/PC/unix veteran for almost 30 years now and I have never had a virus despite aimlessly barreling into the seedy underworld of the intertubes. Virus is most often an error between the chair and keyboard, good sir.

Edit: I shouldn't say "never" as that is a lie. It has been a while and I certainly never had one that locked me down.

Even without viruses, the registration keys would get messed up just by doing regular things, uninstalling, reinstalling, etc. I found after 3 years my PCs would just get slow and just couldn't do what I wanted it to do anymore, i.e. updating to the newest version of photoshop. I will say however, PC gaming is much better than Mac, however I do all of my gaming on consoles (even though I'm feigning to play BF3 on PC just to have graphics like campaign mode in multiplayer.) I have a friend that is a Mac enthusiast as well and he games a lot so he went out and built a PC just for gaming while he does Audio and Video stuff on his Mac.

FYI, Windows 7 is brilliant; I have had a trio of uptimes over 180 days and only one ended because of a crash. Unix is greatness. Vista was dogshit and OS8 was no better or worse than WIndows 95/98. Vista single-handedly ruined Windows' supreme lead on AppleOS.

It's not supposed to be mind-blowingly awesome it's just to explain the differences in the game from others, especially people coming from COD.

How do you switch from Squad to Team coms?

And he didn't touch on car bombs. CAR BOMBS! I cannot describe how much fun I have had with car bombs. I was on the map with the Checkpoint and Gas Station and some clown was up in the prairie with a tank blowing everyone to all hell. I got tired of it, so I got me a Jeep, I strapped it full of C4, and I drove straight into that fuck. My teammates were very happy with my suicide. When I learn how to fly, I plan on going full Japanese and flying planes Kamikaze style!

Addendum: CIA/Homeland Security, I am talking about Battlefield 3 for the PlayStation, not real life.

Pause and look at the bottom left.

No sweat off my balls tren. The " only 10 year olds play" thing cracks me up when folks say they play one shooter over cod. Not a legit complaint. No game is perfect but cod franchise has done well

Isn't there a 311 concert for 11/11/11 you and your husband need to be gettin ready for?

[SuddenBlues]

@BigMike I was going to try both, but gamefly is making me pay $10 bucks to try it online. I think that is crazy and refuse to waste my money. I have a lot of friends that play both I just dont know if I will like the vehicles and the strict team play.

@Tball thanks for the offer but unless you didnt use the online passcode or the price is right I will probably just buy it new.

No concert, but they do have some specials they're running because of today. I already downloaded a concert from Red Rocks on my phone that was free cause of 11/11/11

It's not gamefly it's EA that is doing that to you. NCAA is the same as well, but we all buy it new so no one ever complains.
