Aastii isn't necessarily trying to argue it seems... He's just trying to make a point, or give his opinion.

it wasn't a complaint, i was trying to point out that the others seemed like more of a discussion and although he said he wasn't he seemed like he was just bashing on mw3 and going fanboy on battlefield, which y'all had just been saying it was becoming more heated then was wanted.

To be fair i back up what Aastii says a 100%, i used to be a major fanboy of cod a couple of years ago, and for good reason, for me cod 4 was revolutionary. Now it seems just like a fifa game, i think i stopped buying them yearly after 2008.
Its just the same thing over and over. And yeah people will argue that bf3 is the same as bfbc2, but generally these people havent compared 1942/bf2/bf vietnam/bf2142 to bc2 to realise bf3 has more in common with the proper bf titles.
Bfbc2 was nice but it was its own little game where as BF is a truly fledged bf title Imo.
My friends have done the same as most people have done, bought cod after cod after cod. One of them is a real, major fanboy. Like most out there he was alittle let down by blops but his loyalty to the brand was still there. He bought MW3 at midnight and regrets it terribly.
i feel like this may be the nail in the coffin for most gamers.
Dont get me wrong some will still like mw3 but for others i think the tables are shifting and for me BF3 is definately on top.

It's these kind of complaints that let me know, people are just trying to find something wrong with the game. You are blaming a game for how people play it. I mean, I understand what you are saying, technically, but that isn't a COD specific problem, you just see it in COD more because more people play it. So you don't buy a game because people cheat, or can't play very well.... you'll find that for any game. Period.

^^^ not really, i have never experienced a more childish, hostile community than i have in cod games. Cod 4 isn't so bad, nor is Waw but mw2 onwards, its all kids screaming over chat, teamkilling. Doing anything they can to ruin the game.
For me gameplay is nice but if the community is rubbish to begin with your not going to get the best of the game.
For most people here im guessing the main competitor to cod just doesnt have this hence everyone claiming it to be fanboyism when really its just a disdain for recycled gameplay that in general kids seem to love to give their crap out on.

Jesus H. Christ it's just a game. If you don't like it, don't play it. Don't even comment about it. I don't go around on online forums bashing video games I don't like or play. Just play whatever you want to play.
Grow up.
To get this on topic. I just finished the campaign and the story is great! Much better than Black Ops. I never liked the "rogue" feel Black Ops gave me. I don't want to spoil the story so if you're a fan of the MW and MW2 story, you must play this.
I did a couple of round of multiplayer. It's much more fast paced than Black Ops, maps aren't as colourful as MW2, I'm glad the noob tubes are nerfed (I think?).
I have yet to try Spec Ops.

Maybe you misread, i wasn't blaming COD for this. More just saying that playing COD you will find this. Sorry should have clearified more.

I will partake in discussions and arguments, however will not try to get offensive or make anything personal.
Voicing an opinion on a game and comparing it to another game the last time I checked was not a cause for concern. By creating a discussion thread, expect discussion and debate, just about every other game thread has had someone or a group of people having a negative opinion either of the game or a portion of it, no game is perfect (except for Portal) and in my opinion, MW3 is one of the worst games ever made. If it had come out 5 years ago, it would be great, but as I have previously stated, as mikeb has agreed and as the majority of others that have the game have agreed, it is nothing more but a rebranded, rehash of a game that has now been released 3 times under different names.
I have no problem with CoD, what I do have a problem with however when it comes to games is the complete lack of imagination from certain developers and then the attitude towards such games from consumers. I agree with what was previously said with "if it aint broke don't fix it", but you wouldn't go and buy a nice new phone, think it is great and so go and buy a second to use as a phone... The same is true here, everyone that has MW2, everyone that has CoD4 (especially those with it on PC and therefore mods) has MW3.
As Troncoso says, if you have a problem, my pm is right there and I am always more than happy to get things sorted if you have a problem, be it with me or anything else. I am not going to bite and not just because it is over the internet. Being a human I may overstep marks and if apology is due I will give it, however I don't see it necessary here. Nothing said thus far in the thread (minus where I expanded on what I meant a couple of posts back) could be or should be deemed as offensive or anything other than an argument

Why do people think a game should cost less on PC then on a console? It's the same game...

Never knew that! Although now that you say it, that makes sense.

Ports
I'm putting this in this tread as it's to do with WM3.I was bought the game by my granddaughter and her boyfriend but after loading it thru Steam i can only play Campaign as i cannot get the multiplayer according to Activision Support because of porting,so i have a game which i cannot play on line.Any suggestions as to how i can get around it,remember i know nothing about ports or computers.

and when it's on steam, since you pointed out is was 10 more, i'm almost positive steam charges a fee/gets a percentage from every purchase since it is valve's distribution client (it is valve's right?). and btw i think yesterday i was mostly just in a bad mood, just longer more detailed reasons like your replies seem like you are just trying to point out every flaw in the game, then saying you love bf3, when others could turn it around and do the same, although the list of bf3 issues will be much shorter

Only? I would have a completely red face and bum.
Its very sad that people talk like that, especially when they are normally not even 10 years old. Could one of you very nice members post a review of the game? I'd like to hear more. Although if you do, try not to spoil the campaign us!
I think it boils down to console vs pc, regardless of game. When I say regardless of game I mean any game period, not just MW3 vs BF3. The PC gaming crowd tends to be a older, more mature crowd. While the console attracts a younger, and often times, immature crowd.
With that being said, I think if you look at the difference between MW2 and MW3 it's hard to justify the purchase for some. And most reviews are tending support that theroy, which doesnt make it a bad game, just not worthy of its new game $59.99 price tag. I think you will see COD franchise fade out much like Halo. In large part because they continue to pump out a game that looks like it could be an expansion pack or DLC for consoles.
