Big Things Coming From Battlefield 3 at E3 2011
It's no secret that EA is gunning to take back the shooter category and has "designed" Battlefield 3 to "take down" Call of Duty. The team at EA recently detailed its "aggressive" marketing plans to go up against Call of Duty this fall. And now that EA knows the release date of its main competitor in the shooter space, the publisher could conceivably gain a first-mover advantage if it can release Battlefield 3 in October or even September.
For its part, EA told IndustryGamers that while the competition does affect plans at times, EA wanted to wait until this year's E3 to reveal more about Battlefield 3. "We unveiled the game at GDC where we had announced a Fall ship date. We've been holding out for our next big beat which is at E3 where we will be debuting new gameplay," a spokesperson told us.
"With all our marketing/PR campaigns for all of our titles, we do look at competitors and the overall market but this is one of many factors that affect when we do and do not show/announce new gameplay/ship date/game features/etc."
The ball's now in your court, EA.

-CoD- MW3. BF3 will suck. Nuff said.
Shut up kid your just an annoying COD fanboy. And to be honest how can you judge two games that nobody in the public has even played yet. So far Battlefield 3 has beaten MW3 in graphics and it will obviously beat it after the release. But you can't judge the games accurately yet because nobody has had a chance to experience the gameplay. WaW was OK, MW2 was decent, Black Ops is garbage. But this game will magically be different because they updated there trash engine created in 2001. Whatever though I'll let you enjoy your engine that probably helped develop COD 2 while I'm enjoying Frostbite 2. BFBC2's graphics will excede MW3.

TTGNAPALMBATHiTzzDeano BATTLEFIELD 3 WILL BE EPIC WITHOUT A DOUBT. GRAPHICS = AMAZING. GAMEPLAY = REALISTIC. BF3 HAS REALISM.
No, signing up for duty has realism. Games, especially fps, can only ever touch on the truth. Sure they can emulate some aspects such as a story of sadness struggle and loss but the real emotions will always be missing, games are fun as they should be, war isn't.
Thats why its called a Game :facepalm:

I'll hopefully get both,
BFBC2 pleased me greatly, a huge change from the slight repetitiveness of the CoD franchise.
BF3 will be awesome, from what we have seen so far, but Mw3 could pull it out of the bag, depends on how far they go to make the game a winner!
