Battlefield 3 Not Competing With Call of Duty?

4.5

n a recent interview, Battlefield 3′s executive producer Patrick Bach insists that the Battlefield series is out to carve it’s own niche in the FPS genre, not to knock Call of Duty off its throne as FPS king.

“Honestly, we’re not trying to go after CoD,” Bach says. “Of course there will be crossover – it’s a first-person shooter, it’s modern-day, and there are resemblances on locations, even – we’re all inspired by the same media and the world around us.”

“But to be a star you need to play your own songs.”

“We have so many things in our game that aren’t a part of Modern Warfare, so it really comes down to personal preference. You choose based on the depth you want, the maturity level, your own personal taste… it’s all about how you get your fix.”

Focusing on creating their own top tier FPS and not worrying about staging a coup with Call of Duty can only result in good things for shooter fans. Yes, there will always be comparisons between the two franchises and competition will be there whether the Battlefield 3 team wants it or not, but choosing to ignore the competition and instead focusing on making the best game possible is an instant win for us.

Battlefield 3 is currently scheduled for an October 25th release date.

The human eye cannot readily notice differences between FPS or 25. Essentially, you won't be able to tell the difference. And I wont be getting CoD until it gets Destructible Environments, vehicles, and a balenced multiplayer system.

Really? You honestly believe that?

If you seriously can't notice the difference between 30 and 60 you may want to get your eyes checked. There's a noticeable difference.
that's a WIN

I totally agree
. Lol no it is only 30Fps for you console people, It can run at 100Fps on a decent gaming PC if you want it too, Nuff' said.

MW3 looks too much like MW2 so i'm probably going to get Battlefield 3 instead.

iamthebest Here is what I think They Are both going to be good games but at the end BF3 is going to be the better game.

BF3 is more realism and the graphics are way better than MW3 and also there are hardly any little kids.

MW3 or CoD in general aim for kids attention by putting in stuff like Nukes, Sentry guns, Death Machines. and stuff like that just so little kids are like "OMFG THIS GAME IS AWESOME!!!"

ok so I want to know how you know that BF3 graphics are better. Neither of them have been released yet last time i checked. Are you going by those little youtube videos they put up because those are NOT the final graphics...

I agree. I can't wait for BF3.

Wait what???? Call of Duty and battlefield are obviously competing... He's just saying all that crap because the screwed up so bad with Medal of Honor when they tried to copy CoD.
