Because I like BF3, but realise that MW2pt2 (sorry, MW3, got to remember it hasn't been sold as an expansion) is a load of crap.
And I am not outnumbered, even if MW3 manages to sell 100 million copies, there are still another 6,900,000,000 people on the same side as me that haven't got it. I think you are a little outnumbered there my friend, not the other way around.
All I am going to say, is that by your logic, ~1 third, so therefore over a fifth of a billion people think this is great

I don't think numbers are always indicative of quality
Should point out, CoD4 is still my most played game, so I fail to see how I am so against the CoD franchise, I am just against awful games
=EDIT=
Turns out you are in a minority mate

How do you figure that? Because it looks like a game youve played?
The rest of what said is just garbage. oh yeah, if someone doesn't buy mw3, they automatically agree with you. Even people who don't buy video games .... Woo logic!

No, because it looks like, sounds like, plays like every other CoD game.
And your logic went like this - people bought it, ergo like the game, that is awful logic as well.
I think you will find I left something for you in that last post under my edit. Turns out everyone that did go and buy it confirmed exactly what I said and, turns out like I said, you are in a minority in enjoying the game, if indeed you do

Haha, even better. Its bad because less than a couple percent of those who play it said it was bad. Which really doesnt put me in the minority.
Keep complaining about a game you haven't played, I dont care. you dont make a sequel to a game completely different. Then, its not a sequel. Especially the story. Yeah, its the same story, because its not finished yet. Fan boys annoy me. I'm not saying it'll be great, but at least I'm not saying its trash before actually playing it.

I will keep complaining about a game I have played. People that can't read annoy me
Pray tell, who am I a fan boy too if I am a fan boy?
I wasn't having a go at the story, what I was having a go at was the fact that it looks the same, plays the same, essentially IS the same - they may as well have just brought out a map pack and some weapons for MW2

Ugh... A feel bad for Troncoso in this thread.
He created this thread to see if others were buying it and to give off more information for people that have questions about the game. So far it has just been derailed to a BF3 vs MW3 thread. Which is pointless! Whether or not I buy a game is MY decision that I will pay for with MY money. Telling me that I am wrong when I play a game is ridiculous. What I play is my choice and you don't have any say in that.
I see no need for this. Insulting me and others on this forum that may enjoy the COD style better than the BF style of FPS. I don't see how insulting us will get us to change opinions. If I like it better, I will go out and buy it.

Let me set something straight:
1. I said I prefer BF3. That does not mean any of the following:
a. BF3 is the only game I like
b. I have some vendetta against all CoD games
c. I am only able to like one series or the other.
what it does mean is that of two games released recently in similar genres can be, should be and will be compared and of them, BF3 is superior in my opinion and in the opinion of many others.
2. This is the Modern Warfare 3 Thread, not the "who is buying and/or wants to know about MW3" thread. The thread is a discussion thread, not a praise thread and therefore everything said so far is on topic.
3. I have played the game, my initial response was confirmed - it is MW2 renamed with extra guns and maps
4. Allow me to reword what I said then:
By all means spend your money how you will, it is after all your hard earned money. However, you would have had to be pretty short sighted to not realise that you are purchasing a game that you have already played 99% of the content from, especially given the track history of the CoD franchise

Fair enough but I would say that BF3 and BFBC2 seem pretty close. Minor tweaks added jets and helicopters from what I have seen while playing it. So the people that have BFBC2 and bought BF3, are they short sighted too?

BC2 and BF3 are very, very, very different.
the only things they share are that they are both FPS games and have a similar graphical style. That is to be expected seeing as how they are both DICE games. Even with the same genre and a lot of similarities, gameplay and the entire feel is infinitely different.
Starcraft and Warcraft 3 have similarities - they are both RTS, have similar gameplay styles, they have similar graphical styling, but they are very, very different games. The similarities are down to both games being made by Blizzard.
Compare MW2/MW3 to BC2/BF3:
Different engine - BF3, true, MW3 false
Different graphics - BF3, true, MW3 false
Different weapons - BF3, true, MW3 true (sort of)
Different maps - BF3, true, MW3 true
Different vehicles - BF3, true, MW3 false
Different sounds BF3, true, MW3 false
Different gametypes BF3, true, MW3 true
Different movement animations - BF3, true, MW3 false
Full ranked dedicated servers on PC - BF3, true, MW3 false
now that is a handful, it doesn't scrape the surface of the raft of extras brought in with BF3, but only manages to miss very few of the MW3 extras
The views from others on websites from all over the net echo exactly what I am saying - the game is the same as MW2, it is stale, it is not an improvement. The only people singing the praise are "professional" reviewers, who claim that the game is the freshest, newest, most revolutionary game ever made

I'll give you that the game engine is different and that the graphics have been updated from BFBC2 to BF3. Apart from that I still stand that the things that I really see that have been updated is that there are more vehicles, the bullet drop for snipers is way overdone IMO and they added health regen for soldiers and vehicles (poor choice). The sounds sound no different to me. They are both incredible for both games. If you swapped them I bet I could not tell the difference.
MW3 will have now sounds for the added weapons. I know that each gun in MW2 does not sound the same so with the additions of different guns and add-ons for those weapons will have different sounds than the others in the game. Same goes for BF3.
In the grand scheme of things, I liked MW2 so if it is similar with a few changes to the gameplay to make it a bit fresher than an expansion pack. I see no problem with that. If they had released BF3 almost identical to BFBC2 I would be a lot happier with BF3. Sometimes a lot of changes are not the best thing. If people like it the way it is why invest a bunch of money trying to drastically change what they already have? Granted I would like to see an update to the game engine for PC players but I will just have to wait till the consoles move to a newer generation.
I have already said more than I wanted to in this thread. I really hate getting involved in debates on the forum

Difference being that BF3 isn't a successor to BC2. BC is just a sub-series. They are pretty much incomparable.
-Just go play the last mission of BC2 and you'll see that for sure... I can almost guarantee there will be a BC3.
Agreed. It feels as if i joined a forum that is full of immature fighting.

Its actually a recent development. There is usually a disagreement or two, some fanboyism (usually Nvidia/AMD or AMD/Intel related), but not just plain out fighting like lately.

Johny, I would just leave that thought where it is. If you are concerned or have an issue with any of the staff, take it up with them privately.
