Bf3<>mw3

[Ruben_Williams]

Hmm BF3 n MW3 are two very different experiences, COD always feels like paint ball with bullets, even the maps don't seem natural. . . and if I'm playing TDM, even if our team win I'm not happy unless I'm at the top of the leader board, I usually play FFA as I don't really like relying on campers. Infact I hate campers, there's should be a kick up the arse option if you're team mates are doing it. (I haven't actually played MW3 yet but from all accounts I've heard it's basically MW 2.5)

As with BF3, I am really enjoying this game, I've finally found a nice set up I like and I'm also tryna unlock some more stuff in engineer class. Even something as simple as shooting someone across the street in Grand Bazaar feels like an achievement and more I play this game the more I like it. Sure it's not perfect and sometimes you get some annoying team mates (in one game on rush in OM we were the attacking team and 3 of our team mates were way back in the spawn area with sniper rifles. . . WTF?)

I wanna get MW3 eventually, mainly for the campaign but I'm having too much fun with BF3 atm.

Anyone who has any tips on how I can prevent my savegame from getting corrupted? That shit happened to me today, I had played like 7-8 missions and now I gotta do that shit again.

The most common thing is delete install and clear cache.
Then you have to be very careful when you save and when you dashboard.
Never dashboard mid-game and when you save give it a little more time than normal befor elogging off.
Some suggest saving and dashboarding out of the game before turning the machine off.

My feelings exactly. Been having a lot of fun with bf3, and tbh I don't feel like mw3 is worth $60. Seems rehashed as shit. Campaign is prob the only thing that still makes me want to buy it..

Right then, I rented MW3 on weds enjoying the campaign so far (I dont really follow the cinematics tbh, and still only on 3rd mission lol). . . but the multiplayer. . . hmmmm

Now normally when people go on about hit detection and all that I brush it off, I found Blops and MW2 fine, but this is something else, Usually I'm not so pedantic to bring up little issues but when it starts to effect the outcome of a game then I'll voice a concern.
Howcome half the time it takes them one bullet to kill me and takes me a loads to kill them? Also the lag is a pain in the arse, I find myself shooting at people for them to survive and then fire back at me, watch it back on killcam and it shows I didn't even get a shot off? I know for sure I did.

Also it feels alittle too much like hardcore, there's no stand off like before where you'd have a split second to get your shots in even if ur enemy sees you first, it's just bang dead
The spawns are also a bit fucked too (always wanted to appear right in the line of fire) . . . Those are my main concerns.
The maps I find very bland, and not very well thought out, just a clutterfuck really, are we all gonna have to download expension packs now to make the game more interesting?.

I'm starting to think a 2 year release is too much for COD now, prehaps 3/4 years would have been better, but then again I guess everyone was getting bored of blops already.

I don't dislike the game, I just don't find it very overwhelming, for king of the FPS, I really think IW, Sledgehammer and Activision coulda offered a fixed game for the price they're selling it.

I'm not gonna harp on about how it feels too much like MW2 because to be honest I don't expect anything different from them, and even though alot of people aren't happy about it because it still feels the same I'll stick my neck out and say those are the same people who'd complain if they did implement changes, albeit for the better. All I want to see from them is abit more heart into the product, rather than re-jiggin perks, kill streaks weapons.

First Person Shooters started arcade slowly became realistic
Call of duty has always been somewhere in between in my opinion
so honestly expecting something more realistic, is your own fault..
over hype is what bums gamers..
Not the Development teams that make the games, and not the company that backs them with funding.
The players bum themselves.. simply put.. This is Xbox 360 guys.. with a franchise like call of duty they don't want to over do it
they know the xbox has limits, look at gameplay from skyrim, RAGE and other new games that were a little ahead.. <and vice versa with ps3..
ps3 sometimes has the slightly crisper versions, or so I've heard but that's beside my thoughts.

If you want to be a critic throw this into your scoring.. fun factor..
that's all that should matter.. people on the sidelines like this, don't matter with the big numbers.
I'm just thinking "out loud" here..
How many thousands of Players that dislike MW3 like BF3 and left some kinda of remark somewhere online?
AND In result.. MW3 Still sold well, did it not?

Personally I haven't even played either yet.. I'm just observing.

I have to agree somewhat here. "Fun Factor" has to be considered in any review of a game.
MW3 has sold well and will continue to sell well because a lot of people find it fun.
It's also a lot more casual friendly so the learning curve for it allows that same Madden crowd to enjoy it.
At the upper levels the game still requires skill to be competitive, but entry level is what sells games.
Hardcore players are pretty much the minority in almost every single gaming genre.

Rage I played most of last weekend. It's a fun game that reminds me of a more "realistic" Borderlands.
Rage multiplayer doesn't interest me at all so I didn't bother with it in the least. SP is fun though.
Skyrim is simply amazing and every chance I get to play it at a friends I do. It'll be a bit till I can get it
for myself because I just had to drop $650 for surgery on my dog. She means more to me than a game,
so I'll buy Skyrim when some more free money comes about or I get it for Xmas.
