Sledgehammer: Forget Battlefield, MW2 is the game to beat

4.6
Call of Duty developer Sledgehammer Games says its big adversary is Modern Warfare 2, not Battlefield.

Studio head Glen Schofield has played down Modern Warfare 3’s rivalry with EA’s Battlefield 3, insisting his main focus is to live up to the 2009 FPS predecessor.

“We have a lot of respect for each other,” he told MCV of the firm’s relationship with Battlefield developer DICE. “We know how hard each team works, I know the sacrifices they and their families are putting in, so there is a lot of respect there. I think it’s fought at a different level of ours. So although they may be our competition, I actually view Modern Warfare 2 as the benchmark that I need to aim for.”

Schofield admitted that Sledgehammer Games does feel the weight of expectation in developing the next Call of Duty but is confident fans won’t be disappointed.

“We have the pressure of living up to Modern Warfare 2,” he added. “I would be kidding you if I said there was no pressure. We’re working on the biggest game in the world. “But there is also that adrenaline that kicks in when you are working on a game like this.

“We have really polished Modern Warfare 3. A lot of passionate people spent a lot of time making it.”

shadow1 From what I remember, Sledgehammer started trash talking BF. And at this very moment, BF has more WORLD pre-orders, but america still has mw3 in the lead.
Your wrong DICE started trash talking first, then Sledgehammer did.

theartftw Respect.. oh you mean how every other interview or ad talks crap about Call of Duty?


That's EA, DICE haven't said anything bad about the CoD games.


DICE has said lot's of stuff about CoD.
They claim that their game will be way better... that's the only reason BFanboys started the BF3 vs MW3 war. But ever since the Beta i haven't heard one of them talk. lol


If you've played the beta, you know why lol.

killerMS777 FIRST BTW sledgehammer is totally right CoD and BF are just so different and just don't compare the games


SO true, I don't get it when people say that an action-packed shooter is better/worse than a tactical shooter which requires a totally different playing style.

And even if they were comparable, it's still down to personal preference ... there is no "better game" in this.
