Modern Warfare 3 Fires Back at the Competition

4
As the release dates for both Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare come closer, the mud-slinging is becoming dirtier with each passing day. This time it’s the co-developer of Modern Warfare 3 kicking wet dust DICE’s way, with the studio’s co-founder and general manager Glen Schofield saying, “I’d be a little scared at this point – in June – if I was looking forward to a particular game that wasn’t on the console and running at 60.”
That’s what he said while speaking in a recent interview with AusGamers. When asked about Battlefield 3′s brand new Frostbite 2 engine he said, “You can go out and name your engine and call it whatever you want, right. You know, I’ve done that before, I’ve seen that trick and the bottom line is, this game will run at 60 frames a second. Not sure any of our competitors will.”
“Not sure I’ve seen any of our competitors on the console, especially running at 60 frames a second, and I’d be a little scared at this point – in June – if I was looking forward to a particular game that wasn’t on the console and running at 60.
I think 60 is our competitive edge and you just don’t throw that away. You don’t ship an engine, you ship a game.”
Modern Warfare 3 will be released on November 8th worldwide for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. Battlefield 3 will release on October 8th for the same platforms.

-Frostbite- Battlefield 3 Is Superior Than Modern Warfare 3.It has a new engine that they spend almost a year and a half making.
While Modern Warfare 3 Is Going To Use The SAME Engine As Modern Warfare 2.

Battlefield 3 is Going To Be Superior. Grow Up And Accept It.

-Frostbite-

GTFO COD has always been superior and it will stay that way


ohhh god.. I Hate Fanboys, Im Not Discussing With You Kid.

-Frostbite-


hahahaha COD has always been the top selling game. It was the first game to allow the player to go 'prone'. 60FPS over 30FPS all day. MW3 will **** on BF3 now you grow up and accept it frostbite... When you come to realize that i am right, then you can reply to this subject. thanks. Im Done.

Being the top selling game means NOTHING. If you played BFBC2 you wouldn't notice the 30 fps. The engine is WAY more important than fps. The engine IS the game, and GOD Battlefield's is WAY better. Go look up some BFBC2 gameplay, that shows that 30 fps isn't bad at all. But you are too opinionated to notice and you will be responding in how I am SO wrong.

In your guys attempt to flame a fanboy your fanboying yourself you idiot. Stop being hippo-critical and calling names. This is not a fascist state where one rulers opinion is the opinion of the nation. And even still your not the leader anyways. So stfu. We have rights to believe what we think is best sure but its not fact. Both games will be amazing.
all people like to see is a good game so dout call them a fanboy and dout think you are not one too


call of duty has been the same thing for about 5 years. it hasnt changed at all. just new guns games and maps. the campaign is good, but the multiplayer is blah.
battlefield has much more to offer, it has the huge maps, the adjustable maps, and the way that you cant have unbalanced classes. it is a great game.
you cant notice the difference of 30 fps to 60 fps on a console.
the feel of bf to cod, it is way better, you get the realistic feeling, and it just looks so much better


I agree with you guys that both are going to be good games, but by far the best fps coming out this fall will be Kinect Disneyland Adventures

No cod will bee the best and always the best as long as 3arc gets the f out

Plasmaxyz Honestly, who cares about FPS? If someone gave you two games and you knew nothing about them and they asked you to tell them what game is running at 60 FPS and 30 FPS you wouldn't know because they would look exactly the same. COD is getting old now, a new game every year? F*** that. DICE actually makes quality games unlike whoever developer is making COD for any given year.
Dude ikr! the average gamer isnt gonna be like. "WHOAH THIS IS SOOO LAGGY BF3 SUCKS" you cant even telllll
you guys are both morons play battlefield two then play mw2 you see a huge difference in sequential frames when moving around mw2 is twice as fast which over produces better graphics because you can tell the difference you two are obviously noob gamers who have zero knowledge in the world of technology. typical battlefield fanboys
I can already tell you know absolutely nothing about framerates and graphics. I would explain it all, but it's just too much time to waste.

i think battlefield3 is goin to be the best FPS since COD4 MW. this new COD (MW3) looks exactly like MW2. nothing really looks different. grapics look the same old, some of the stuff looks cool like swapping scopes. but this game im not to excited about.
