Yeah, but that doesn't make bf3 good. I've always liked the bf games, but not that much. I love most the cod games, and I think these features would add to the experience. They aren't deal breakers though. I haven't seen anything in bf3 making it worth buying, besides those features and thats not enough to shell out $60.
Confused?
To me they are the same. Same choice of guns, type of levels, just take a look at the campaign. They even both have that stupid kill cam thing. In the past I have bought COD4, MW2, Black Ops, and now BF3... I'm tired all together on buying the same game over and over with the added touch of a little bit of graphical design. So will i buy MW3? Hell no... Like i said before I'll borrow it, finish the campaign, that's it.
One day i dream of a company to come out with the next generation of game. Something that has not been done before ever. Something that makes your jaw drop. I'm not talking about taking the same idea as the other guy and modifying it slightly (eh em BF3) but take an entirely different idea and recreating the game industry.
