Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling Will Buy Battlefield 3

4.7
Infinity Ward's own Creative Strategist, Robert Bowling, has gone on the record stating that he plans to buy EA's monster FPS, Battlefield 3, when it comes out this October. He believes that "if you are a shooter fan, you should be getting both [Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3]."
"If you are a shooter fan, you should be getting both, because they're both going to be excellent experiences.

"But more importantly they're going to be very different experiences. The kind of gameplay you get from Call of Duty is very different from what you get anywhere else and I think that's important. I think any shooter fan would be extremely disappointed if you only got one." But, when it comes to EA's war on Activision's Call of Duty, Bowling believes there's no such thing as one victor in the genre. His comments seem to mirror Battlefield 3's Patrick Bach's comments in regards to the COD/BF3 war:
"Honestly, we're not trying to go after CoD. 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.

"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."

It seems while EA and Activision (maybe, more so, EA) bang each other's heads into the wall over who's military shooter will take the sales throne this year, the developers could care less and are more interested in shipping the best game they can this Fall. Hopefully this publisher war doesn't reflect on the games themselves and ultimately lessen the quality of these two behemoth titles.

Anyone Who Says Call Of Duty Is A Shitty Game,
Sucks At FPS Games,, Honestly COD is The King Of
FPS Games, And Always Will Be So Quit Hating On Call Of Duty, And Play it, Get Better At It, And Maybe U Will Like It. For The Record, COD IS BETTER THAN BF
Hands Down!!!!! so like i said wuit hating on call of duty!! because everyone on this damn site plays COD!!!! u will have a site full of people who will track u down! and beat u up! hahahha!


No, the reason *I* don't play is because immature people like you play. People who just don't shut the fk up and just play the game. I bet you fk with your team mates too by betraying, camping, hiding with the bomb or flag.

You single handedly proved to me how fking idiotic some people can be. Get a fking objective view on things.

-Crayons- Bf3 is better than mw3 always will be idc what anybody says and theres to many try hards on cod and non in bf3 it's because there all not **** who sit around and try to get popular on youtube
Wow the only reason that u think that is because u suck on Cod and u can only get good against the little noobs that play game like btf3



u cat really suck at cod all it is is camping kid and there is no such thing as a good cod player cuzz go play battle field 2 and try to level up it is 20 times harder than cod. the leveling for cod takes no skill. i have seen kids 15th prestige in black ops who suck a$$ and i **** so there is no good cod player kid stop it u fanboy im tired of 10 year old kids like u
u kidding? people camp in bc2 ten times more than cod. so leveling up in battlefield is slower, whoop-de ****en do. there are people that are max lvl in battlefield and suck too. get over it

I think he didnt mean BC2,but meant the actual BF2 which beats BC2 any day. Battlefield has way more games then just the two most people know about. The Maps in BF2 are better, multiplayer is better, ranking is a lot harder and there is a lot more strategy and thinking required to play, unlike CoD. One major reason I personally dislike CoD is because of the try-hards and little kids.

When I first saw the title I thought it was going to be something about Bowling buying out the company or something like that :P But anyways, I agree that people should be getting both games not just one.

FINALLY, someone who respects more than one series. He's right, I've played Both the COD and BF series and they deliver different experiences. Props to you, Bowling.

I like how he said nothing about the games being different until now even though everyone was talking about which will win; but now everyone is saying Battlefield looks amazing and cod is falling apart, he says the games are different and really shouldnt be compared. xD
