EA delivers dig at Call of Duty franchise

4.2
Electronic Arts has delivered another sly dig on Activision's Call of Duty franchise.

Battlefield 3's beta test press release has given another low blow to their competitor once again as it states: "Go Above and Beyond the Call".

EA's Labels president Frank Gibeau recently said on the shooter's competition this holiday season:

"This Christmas we're definitely going to take market share in the FPS category from those guys. Customers like competition, they like these kind of heavyweight fights so were going for it."

Battlefield 3 is currently scheduled for a release on October 25th in North America and three days later in Europe. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, meanwhile, is currently scheduled for a worldwide release on November.

8th.

TTG_Velocity People really need to shut the fu*k up when it comes to Battlefield 3. Don't anyone give a reason to why this is better or that is better. No one gives a fu*k. Battlefield isn't being played by every 12 year old boy that is **** bad at fps shooters. I've been playing COD since cod4 and I must say COD4 was the best COD of all time. Every new title coming out with COD is **** stupid. Its usually the same crap as the last series brought with noooo not a new engine... BUT IMPROVED. On the other hand Battlefield completely went to scratch with creating the new engine. Beautiful realistic graphics while mw3 is very cartoonish. People only buy COD so much because they see there friends playing the game so they buy it toooooo!!!! Battlefield is competitive and not for the weak. Cod is such a stupid title that they dont even listen to their community. In mw2 people hated the heartbeat sensors... What do they do in mw3? Or right put it in, forgot. People hated juggernaut... What did they do? Exactly. People need to calm the fu*k down cause both have their strong and weak points. Cod just comes out with a bit of new guns, maps, and way to buy ****. everything is usually the same, attachments, perks, etc. Battlefield 3 has completely redesigned their crap for players with skill. Oh and thats another thing that mw3 will be bad at. People can be the best at that **** game even without SKILLLL! I dont see people running around quickscoping in real life. People put **** scopes on guns like snipers for a **** reason, to take time and kill your target. Not run up, 2 feet away from you, shoot your gun. That is **** bull. I can't remember the last time I stayed a full match in any **** cod game because of the way that game makes me ragequit. Dont get me a wrong im a good cod player. K/d in blackops is aroundu 1.88 but its the way things happen that is soo annoying. Battlefield has awesome gameplay, beautiful graphics, lovely guns, etc. World destruction played a big role in bf2. They said they revised it in bf3 so its not AS destructive. I can see why they did this and its good that they did. BF3 listens to their community. They have great support. And I will sure as hell buy both games. They are both games that are competing for a title that means nothing. I mean Cod is taking this more seriously then bf but same ****. I love both games even if they do make me want to slap a bit*h. I will be buying both when they come out. Discussion over. Stop all the reall useless topics and comments saying which is better. I just went over it. Dont need anymore....


Hey man, how many times are you going to say the same thing over and over in a different way? We got it when you said it at the beginning of the post. You hate people that diss on Battlefield and then praise CoD and then go into detail about how CoD is better. And also visa versa. But you did just that. You talked all kinds of crap about CoD in there and praised Battlefield. You're right, everyone does need to shut the **** up; you included.

GameOfTheWeek How many shooter titles that have been published by EA have sold 23 million copies? None? Thought so.


Only reason Cod is so successful is because of Cod 4 & Cod 2. Pretty much all the others are awful. :


no its because u can have fun wether ur a beginner or a pro


I haven't had fun while playing Cod in ages.


Anyone who is older than 12 and played a fps before CoD came out, knows that CoD is a downright bad fps as far as player skill is concerned. 90% of CoD fanboys are either terrible at every other fps or are still stuck on the first fps game they ever played. Any real gamer knows that it takes limited skill to be good at CoD. CoD 12: A game for children and N00bs.

Icy-TankJr All the words I can use to describe BF3. Garbage,Trash,wack,awful,horrible,waste of money. I'm gonna just buy the game and break the disk.


And how would you know this? Have you played the game already? Thought not. Don't judge a game before your try it.


Same goes to you, sir. And every other BFanboy who thinks BF3 will surpass MW3. MW3 will be just as good as BF3. They are both new, similar but different. We will see when they are both out.


Well for one, he might be the biggest MW3 fan ever, he was just telling the dude not to rage on a game and say its trash before he even plays it. Another thing is you cant even compare MW3 and BF3 (yes you can say that before they come out). BF games have vehicles, larger maps, better physics, and more people for each team, and better competition on average. Not to say that BF3 players are better, but I am saying that not one person on any given team can carry the entire team on BF3. It takes team work. MW3 is more of a lone wolf kind of game unless you are playing GB's or really trying to win. Even then it comes down to 1v1 gun battles 95% of the time.


I'm not a fanboy of either game. it just annoys me when I see people fighting over which game is better when neither of them are even out yet lol.

Icy-TankJr "The battlefield 3 is Bad rap"

Battlefield 3 will be trash,
everybody knows, that it'll be wack,
Break the disc , step on it , spit on it,cause it bad oh,
The game has bad quality, you know dice wanna be like Modern warfare 3. But they can't be , cause there random , never heard of them, and smack them, uh, you know it, gotta get at them cause their sales are blowing.

Battlefield 3, get on modern warfare 3 level.
BF3 is with the devil, while Mw3 is with god. You already know we representing cod. Modern warfare 3 will be in the star, BF3 will be on the ground,
Look at BF3 looking around, your rocking 30Fps ouch, while Mw3 is rocking 60FPS pow.

BF3 sales will be weak , Mw3 will be on a streak,
Who could beat Mw3? Can't you see, not BF3.

its sad to see people say, Both games will good. but Mw3 will rise to the top with the sales and
have it lock. It'll be sad because BF3 will be blocked.
I like how CoD fanboys have such devotion to try and get their worthless opinions out to the public. Retard, is a good definition for you.
