Modern Warfare 3 General Manager Not Impressed By Battlefield Franchise

4.4
The developers behind Modern Warfare 3 may have 99 problems but Battlefield 3 ain’t one. Glen Schofield, general manager of MW3 co-developer Sledgehammer Games, has been singing the praises of their own military shooter as the release date for rival Battlefield 3 is just a week away. To douse the flames of excitement for Battlefield 3, Schofield made it clear that he does not see the title as a threat to his company. “Let’s just say that I still use Modern Warfare 2 as my competitor. I need to make sure that the millions of people that played Modern Warfare 2 will pick up this game, notice that it’s better, notice that it’s bigger, that there’s more in it, that there’s more polish, all that stuff. That’s what I’m concerned with – this community.”

Schofield claims that he had not heard of the Battlefield franchise until “five or six months ago,” when Battlefield 3′s marketing campaign began to build up steam. Throughout the summer, EA has been showcasing the capabilities of its stunning new Frost Engine that has shown graphic superiority to Call of Duty‘s latest games. After a confusing explanation of how game engines can be like a Porsche or spaghetti, Schofield appeared fed up with the comparisons, “I’ve said this before – I’m not shipping an engine, I’m shipping a game. So that’s why I’m going to talk about the game. You can talk about your engine all you want. It’s not fun.”
When asked about the lack of a MW3 beta, Schofield sidestepped the question. “Someone asked me that the other day. This game is so big between the campaign, the Spec-Ops and the multiplayer, there was so much work to do that I don’t know whether it hit anyone’s mind or not. We had XP and XP was in itself a way for 1,000s of people to play the game and for us to look over their shoulder and see how they were doing and how they liked it and that was really good.”

EA & Dice had stole CoD's ideas on a game and they just changing a step of it and claiming they thought of it. BT3 is gonna be the new MW2 for Battlefield

ACardboardBox This guy clearly didn't watch the trailers or play the beta. They're not shipping an engine, they're shipping a game with one of the best engines of all time. Maybe you should take a freaking hint and change yours once in a while.

Lol the beta was horrible and the game will be to


Can't believe people are still eager to play the same game for the 5th year in a row. Just because it has a different title doesn't mean ****.


The beta wasnt an accurate representation of the BF3 game. It was made using BF2 engines because of certain liability crap. Personally, i am a CoD fanboy but dont just make assumptions.

Hes just telling the truth. I like BF3 and MW3 but it annoys me when on every BF3 video on youtube the top comment iss " Better than MW 2.5 THUMZ UP IF U AGRE!!!!" You ask them how its MW 2.5 and all they can say is they didnt upgrade the graphics engine.

Who gives a sh!t what game will be better or if it's the same game with a different title, we play to have fun.
Although I hated B.O. I'm a CoD fanboy and always will be.
If Battlefield 3 is better than MW3 well then that's ok with me but I could care less which one is better all I know is that I will be playing MW3 like crazy when it comes out even if all it is, is MW2.5
