Yeah I know, already done to death elsewhere on the internets. But always like new opinions. I have BF3, no MW3 yet. Haven't even installed BF3 because of Skyrim addiction. But I've played BFBC2 and MW2 before.With BFBC2 it was more squad oriented, lone wolves would get cut down pretty quick unless they had some sort of backup. Although I had moments where I would get into the zone and go on a solo rampage.MW2 was more about everyone just doing their own thing, mini encounters 1v1 instead of working together with team mates to take an objective.So can I assume that the above is still true for BF3 and MW3, or have there been some changes?Also, subjective opinion: which do you like best, for those who have played both?

I've personally put down my FPS games since Black Ops was so disappointing to me. But I have a few friends that are REALLY into the genre; of two of them, one wrote MW3 off as "MW2 map expansion" and migrated to BF3, which he loves. The other stuck with the MW franchise and seems to enjoy it since it's largely in the same mold of MW2, which was one of his favorite games.In short, from what I've been told MW3 is still the solo, rambo-style shooter. BF3 requires more team work than MW3, but I don't think it's at BFBC2 level.

I've been thinking about maybe getting one of these. Then again, I don't have live, so I probably won't.

They are pretty much the same - MW3 for Kill/Death ratio and BF for teamwork. Although I've only played BFBC2 offline because of a 3gb update that I wasn't downloading. I have MW2 though.I don't have MW3, but I have played it, it was a letdown for me, I was expecting something amazing but even MW2 is probably better. (Black Ops ftw! ) That said, MW3 is still a decent game.I haven't played much BF3, even though I have the game, but it is actually really good in my opinion - I rather like the big maps and large teams.

Well me and a friend are moving into a two bedroom apartment in the city next year, and he has a PS3 so I might actually buy one of these based on online experience. I usually prefer teamwork type stuff rather than soloing it, so maybe I'll get BF3.

To me MW3 has been a big disapointment but since I dont have bf3 I guess mw3

The only good call of duty games i've played are 2, 3, WaW, and BO. MW2 and MW3 are trash. Get BF3. I haven't played it, but anything is better than MW3.You know what? Don't get either. Get Skyrim.

My brother plays BF3 and says its really good, really realistic and all, I play MW3. I prefer COD over BF because of the fast pace gameplay

BF3 > MW3 battlefield has always been team orientated, and the COD series has always been 1 man rambo style, I've played a great amount of the BF series and have liked it since I was young.The first COD game I played was COD 4 and I really enjoyed it, it took over my life. I use to play it on the computer from like 6am-3am (yeah im not an addict) But that's the only COD I enjoyed. I did play Black OPS but didn't really like it as much...(probably because I was playing it on 360) I never liked MW2 because when I heard of commando and double shotguns....I'm told myself I would never play a game that wants to be realistic but have capabilities where the game is like GOD mode...(idk I just didn't like the idea...you go shoot a shotgun with arm and tell me what happens then ill play the game )As for BF I started playing that when I was young with BF 1943 and then moved to playing BF2 for a bit then BFBC 2 and I have always enjoyed them I've never saw a problem with them aside from glitches and what not but every game has those..Then I got BF3 and I honestly can say it's a really awesome FPS I won't say it's the best but it was really good and maybe potentially the could be the best of the year?But from what I hear from my friends BF3 even though it's team based a lot of people lock their Squads which sometimes handicaps 1-2 players also it seems like people dont want to play in squads. And MW3, I heard people try to co-oridnate even though it's 1 man rush army basically...Idk those are my thoughts on it..

If you're refering to Andy, he is returning it lol

I have both games and I enjoy both of them very much (not as much as skyrim). Battlefield is much more team based game and I find that the pace depends on the class that you are using as well as the map that is playing. MW3 is a good game but to me it didn't meet with the standards that was set by MW2 and the disappointment of Black Ops. It is fast paced, it does seem more solo based, and playing online can get frustrating. I can't say one is better than the other because I enjoy both and alternate playing.
