Mw3′s robert bowling: "spent an hour playing @battlefield3… i loved it!"

4.5
Despite the heat between publishing giants Activision and Electronic Arts, game developers of Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3 play praise highly of each other.

Recently, at GamesCon 2011, MW3′s creative strategist Robert “fourzerotwo” Bowling sat down with Daniel “zh1nt0″ Matros, community manager for BF3, at the Battlefield 3 booth and played roughly an hour of EA’s highly anticipated new shooter. While some may have been in awe of two community giants aiming down sights at each other and strapping C4 to each other’s backs, it was all fun and games to Mr. Bowling and Mr. Matros.

A competitive yet friendly conversation on Twitter shortly ensued thereafter:

fourzerotwo Robert Bowling

GamesCom completed! Spent an hour playing @Battlefield 3 multiplayer with friends from DICE, I loved it! Also, Batman: Arkham City = amazing

zh1nt0 Daniel Matros

@fourzerotwo @battlefield was an awesome session! Got your tags stay safe Rob! COD is lucky to have you

fourzerotwo Robert Bowling

@zh1nt0 I promise you, you will never get my fourzerotwo tags. That is a challenge my friend. Come for them and receive bullets in the face.

zh1nt0 Daniel Matros

@fourzerotwo bring it and @locust9 , it was a lot of fun

We all know that competition in the FPS genre right now is extremely fierce. But, it is nice to see game developers seeing through the politics.

Mr. Bowling ended the conversation by saying “Good point. When the game comes out, we will settle this.”

HeyPerson why would activision allow him to say that, thats like advertising battlefield 3

Cause activision know its no contest.

EA are just d*cks.

EA are not d1cks they actually care for their community and they never said it was a contest put it this way, CoD just a run and gun and have fun
Battlefield is a strategy game and is a war simulation game wich is really fun

If I made a game say Call of duty 10 and was the head of the making of it and played BF4 and liked it, I would say it. I don't care. Since COD is in the name, people will buy it. This is just an example.

It's time for some Battlefield staff to play Modern Warfare 3 now. See what they think.

-Deziqn- I think it's better if they get along!


that wouldnt do good for the business,

but if they were to team up (probably never happen) then they could make 1 game that no one can beat... and that game would be just amazing

It wouldnt be bad for business and i agree with your comment if they ever teamed up.
no if they team up then all the whiny bastards from CoD will go to that game :|
