EA: Battlefield 3 multiplayer will keep players coming back despite MW3 launch

4.2

While he neglected to sling any specific mud at Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, EA executive vice president Patrick Soderlund believes that Battlefield 3 multiplayer will make players "feel loyal" to the game, even in the face of Activision's annual juggernaut. "We all respect what Call of Duty brings and what they're going to come with," Soderlund recently told IGN, though he believes EA has "an industry-leading multiplayer game that will make people want to stay with us, frankly."

Soderlund sees Battlefield 3's multiplayer as a service that allows players to "continually get updates and new content and hopefully improvements to the product as we go." One such piece of content will be this December's "Back to Karkand" DLC, which Soderlund promises will contain more destruction than the current multiplayer maps. "It's a different level, even more so than in BF3," he said, adding that the DLC team made a "deliberate decision" to ratchet up the destruction for the upcoming content. Sounds like fun, so long as it doesn't destroy the servers too.

Alright I've gotta reply.
As much as I played BF3 'til this point(rank 145 on leaderboards), I can say it's one of the most boring FPS games I've played. I won't be playing it for much longer, at this point I just mess around with classes and try to have fun, but it usually never comes. A week from now, it'll probably just be gathering dust.

I got to say that Battlefield is mainly a multiplayer game. The campaign is alright, but that is where I give Call of Duty credit. I just don't like the rinsed out multiplayer IW or Treyarch offer us every year. They just tweak it a little.

Not really , Bad Company was more campaign then multiplayer. They went back to Battlefield 2 for the multiplayer. Get your shit right. BUT im only getting cod ...atm. Kinda broke and can only afford the MW3 instead of BF3

BF3 is like a map pack to Bad Company. they just added a few new guns and maps. much like you guys are saying mw3 is like a map pack to mw2. well so is bf3 so shut the f*ck up.
