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.

Who worries about FPS? I am more worried about having the better connection and being lagged in favour of the slower internet connection.

If any one of these leading FPS Dev's or Activision Server Tech's have a spare minute, think about running 50 - 100 Mb Host's at a reasonable tolerance.

Nothing worse than spending the bigger money on the connection yet coming worse off in a game or 1V1

ZBrush higher FPS doesnt add to a competitive edge, My monitor runs at 75FPS and some games on pc max there FPS at over 120FPS.

But guess what, I could run the same benchmark at 30 and 60 FPS and the difference isnt notable.

You know why?

Its because human eyesight only cant fault an animation that runs anything below 25 FPS, Anything above this and the FPS are smooth if your monitor can display the framerate.

Retarded Devs talking about how good there games are because of FPS differences are Retarded.

Now youve learnt your lesson about how the human eye works and FPS differences, please dont ever compair them again unless the game is running at anything below 25FPS


Well Said.


but if you want to record and turn it to slow-mo it is much with 60 fps
No-one on Battlefield wants to "Twixtor" because people don't play the game to make "sick montages".

The-Roach As of 9 hours ago gamestop confirmed BF3 is currently outselling MW3.


Keep in mind that mw2 is one of the best selling games of all time, so its highly likely mw3 will be also. BF3 will be good but it will not out sell mw3. Do your research bf1 or 2 isnt even in the top 10 most sold games, so its highly unlikely they are gonna jump to the top of the list now.

MW3 may run at 60FPS, but you could drop a nuke on a building and it wouldn't lose a chip. Way to go.

I'm getting both and the only thing that will stop me from playing CoD more than BF is if there is something as annoying as Danger Close OMA Noob Tubes or Commando and please, dear god please, no more ghost and second chance/last stand. I t would be perfect as long as they don't do something like that. So my money is on MW3 winning (like Charlie Sheen :P)
