MW3 Didn't Copy BF3, What Brings Fans Back to CoD, and more

4.1
For those of you who think that only Infinity Ward and Treyarch work on the Call of Duty franchise, you should know that Sledgehammer Games are developing Modern Warfare 3 side by side with Infinity Ward. Today, we have found some interesting things that Glen Scholfield and Michael Condrey, the co-founders of Sledgehammer Games, said about Modern Warfare 3.

When a fan claimed that Modern Warfare 3 is copying Battlefield 3, Scholfield answered “We (the people behind MW3) haven’t copied BF3 at all. No need to and never seen much of it. We’re making the sequal to MW2, that’s what we look at.” Of course, MP1st’s loyal readers might recall that Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling has only played about an hour of Battlefield 3 and loved it.

On another note, in a recent interview with NowGamer, when ask about the competition with the Battlefield 3, Condrey explained that he shares Eric Hirshberg’s thoughts, which you can find here. He went on to shed some light on what brings gamers back to Call of Duty by stating“It (Call of Duty) is fun, it’s fast, it’s 60 frames per second.” He explained “what 60 fps mean is it feels smooth, you’re in the action right away.” He ended his point with “I think that’s what’s been bringing fans back time and time again to Call of Duty.”

When asked, on twitter, on whether the premium Elite service has anything to do with Dedicated servers on PC. Condrey reassured that “(dedicated servers are) free to all PC. Independent of Elite.”

krwskater25 Oooo.... 60 FPS.... That don't mean crap if you have a junk host
theres a big diff betweeen 60 fps and 30 fps just saying not ttrying to start a big flame war
Ok tell me what the diff is.


30 frames per second is the difference you ****, seriously how old are you 10?


YOU'RE clearly the one who is "10" here. Now read this very carefully because you're about to be proven 100% wrong and everyone here who says "DURR MW3 GONNA BE BETTER CUZ WE HAVE 30 MORE FPS~~" will also be in the same boat as you.

To give an idea of what 30 FPS as opposed to 60 FPS means, consider this: Movies you see at the theater are 24 FPS, which is the most common industry standard for film. Humans generally cannot easily detecte differences in excess of 30 FPS. 30 FPS will do just fine for Battlefield 3, as it would for MW3 if it was also running at 30 FPS.

WANT MORE? What it comes down to, and this is what many console players (Including you, derp) and even members of the press (The absolute GENIUSES at IW) fail to understand, is that the decision to make the game run at 30 FPS and 720p is because to do otherwise would come at extreme expense to the quality of the graphics and even gameplay. Console hardware, both PS3 and 360 alike, is very outdated by now. Battlefield 3 is a truly next-generation first-person shooter, and its unparalleled graphical and technological capabilities require PC hardware to be fully realized, which is half a decade more advanced and powerful than console hardware. Even at 30 FPS and 720p, BF3 pushes console graphics and technology to the absolute visual limit of the console hardwares ability WITHOUT risking damage to the gameplay. It is impressive that the only gameplay compromise that DICE was forced to make for the console versions of BF3 is dropping the player limit from 64 to 24 players.

MW3, on the other hand, is running the same engine they've been running since CoD4 (Just revamped) trolololololol
Nuff said!

No I'm 27 and you must be 10, It don't matter if its 30 FPS and 60 FPS there is no visible difference between the two.
And on another note: It doesn't matter how many FPS s h i t has. It still don't make it smell any better.

Thats not a reason smartass.

Tv shows all run in 30fps, thats not bad looking at all. Sledgehammer is just a bunch of douches by saying 60fps is what makes COD better than bf and how it will never be better because it only has 30fps. There is seriously no difference in between them.

VitalPros Both games are going to be awesome. Nuff said
Agreed! Right on buddy ^_^

No offense to infinity ward or slegehammer but stop
following back to the 60fps speech as that's the only thing they seem mention. Hope both MW3 and BF3 do well.
