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.

shadow1 As you could see in MW2 and BO, the 60fps allows you to knife from far away.

I don't know if you have ever played Black Ops or if you accidentally put some words together but in Black Ops you can't knife for sh!t.


That's not true though, is it? The knifing in Black Ops is never on target, yet still kills, so technically you can knife quite easily, and you do get some MW2 Commando-esque lunges as well...

Back to the point though, I've never been a fan of the Battlefield series, but even I must admit that Battlefield 3 does look graphically amazing. That being said, I don't think it will outsell MW3 or even Black Ops. And as for the MW3 60fps making more of a difference than DICE's new engine? Only time will tell.

You know this reminds me of Apple vs Google and Microsoft

Android is better in like every way and yet Apple will be better at 1 thing and fanboys will exclaim its better than any Android phones. Not to mention Apple product's are alot less bang for your buck (CoD DLC) compared to mainly Microsoft (Battlefield DLC).

-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.

Please-WaitPosted:

People you all know that Battlefield 3 is better because MW3 is exactly the same as MW2 so there's no point of playing MW3.

forum87 Battlfield doesn't need 60, it's **** amazing at 30. Yeah, you can call BFBC3 a CoD killer.

Enjoy.

LOL its Battlefield 3 no badcompany 3...moron

In my opinion, All battlefield is a CoD wanna be with vehicles that will never be as popular. Call Of Duty has so many people they could make "Call Of Duty: This games shit" and it would sell like crazy

fluffymuffinxxx i hate how people always put how omg the gun sounds are the same all the sounds are the same but people don't know thats what the sounds really sound like in bf they just mash up a bunch of noises to make a gun shot

dude, they have videos of them recording the actual gunshot sounds. COD is the game that mash the sounds together.
