Battlefield 3 vs Call of Duty: Showdown Marked for November

4.7
The Battlefield 3 release date may well have just been given away by the EA Download Manager - and if true, we'll be looking at a very possible dust up with Modern Warfare 3.

Activison's yet-to-be announced inevitability annually tends to launch in mid-November.

If the Battlefield 3 release date on EA Store is accurate - and it would be odd for the publisher to use such an accurate placeholder on its own site - EA could steal the march on its FPS rival by a full week.

November 2 is a Wednesday, which would make it at odds with the usual US release date day of Tuesday, whilst major games usually hit Europe on a Friday. For a title as big as Battlefield 3, however, a worldwide 'event' release date would not be too much of a wild surprise.

EA released a brand new Battlefield 3 gameplay trailer this week. If you haven't seen it, it's very much worth your time.

Holy **** how can people actually compare Cod to the amazing Battlefield series.
I mean seriously 64 player online battles,Vehicles including jets,destructible environments,Mass selection of weapons,Insane graphics and new engine,and balanced gameplay.

While Cod has been running on the same engine for 4 god damn years and they aren't making a new one for the next Cod either.
Can't make vehicles into the game because it will **** up the balance look at Cod 3,Waw, and Mw2 the vehicles are all massive killing machines.
Hell they have a hard time balancing the game.

TLDR;Call of duty can't compete against glorious Battlefield games.

here we go with all the people who hate call of duty because they are either bad at it(i hate campers too but there are ways to stop them) or hate it just because it's popular and they don't want to be seen as "a drop in the ocean" they would rather be seen as a piece of poop in the rough, battlefield has always been a boring game filled with even more snipers than CoD, plus CoD stays popular, doesn't get dull after a month of online play and bad dev support on consoles

TTG_Chad CoD will sell better but battlefield will be the better game.
i fully agree with you on this Cod has band-wagoners and fanboys but this it gonna be what the 9th now? and its always the same sh**.. level 50... 75.. idfc.. you hit the cap then prestige... and then camp or get camped on.. and then people who go around talking smack as if they had reason to... most of the smack talkers live with there moms and dads still. and its always same storyline to. nothing new.. they should add better dlc like effing "BF" they add new maps characters and guns..

im gona get both but battlfield is going to better because they have set goals... COD is just like "it has the name call of duty in it so it will do good" and physics in bf are better and theres less tools on battlfield

Number 1 reason why people hate BF. Eight year olds cant Quick scope in it. We all know BF will win because it takes team work with team based games. People do use mics, but are in party chat. MW3 will be the same like mostly every other cod. No team work, all camping looking at one door for 5 hours, run and guning like idiots getting killed every 2 seconds, noob tubing thinking they own, wanna-be quick scopers, hacks, non dedicated servers (only in mw2), poor graphics, over powered guns,shit connection, and practicly everything else. And besides, mw3 will probly use cod points too which will make all the things worse. BF uses team work, ablity to destroy camp spots, no kill streaks which make everything better, amazing graphics and sound, no comando lunge, no over powered guns, no perks that make you inmortal, noob tubes dont kill in 1 hit, no lobbies that make you maxed out with all weapons and attachments, multiplayer map packs WHICH ARE MAINLY FREE, and dedicated servers. Feel free to complain because i am right.

Battlefield 3 will be amazing!
Call of duty is plain as sh*t point and shoot
Battlefield you actually need teamwork to win
