MW3 or B3?

ok, ive played MW3 online for a couple of hours now -
awesome as ever, but whats battlefield 3 like in comparison?
i dont have the time or the finances for both, anyone out
there playing both at the moment?

byw am really fucked off with the COD elite voucher that
came with my hardened edition (one years free membership inc
all downloadable maps for the year)..what they dont tell you
is that its only valid for 8/11/2011...i picked my copy up a
day later. the phrase 'clucking bell' springs to mind...

After some time on both Modernwarfare2 and Battlefield:BC2
(for PS3) I chose to got the battlefield Route for number 3.
I expect MW3 to play faster and feel more arcadey than BF3.
In the end I think its just a preference for the type of
gameplay you like.

I would expect both titles to be of a pretty high standard
considering all the rivalry that exists between them. (and
the budget they can afford to spend on the production also)

I can't say I am impressed with EA's implementation of the
"online pass" system. "Extra server expense"? (when a 2nd
hand game still is only capable off putting 1x load on the
server at any one time?)

my two cents...

Don't buy CoD if you care about the industry

when i was in the 'game' shop i saw some DS versions (???).
i like the mw series over the treyarch releases, they're
awful....am really pissed off with this elite thing tho, at
least the halo version was free...mind i only buy them for
the MP, cant be arsed with the campaigns. whats the score
with picking up b3 second hand? do you have to buy an online
pass?

cod if you want do shoot people and get kills. bf3 is you
want do do everything else (fly helicopter, jet, drive
tanks, boats, basejump..and kill people). bf is a lot more
team oriented

oh they most certainly are. and they do it quite well. i
remember playing through mw2 in one take and i was sweating
like after a marathon.

mw3 is not different - you still have that fast-paced action
that i loved from the previous installments - the thing is
just that the scripts for the scenes went way overboard. the
scenes from mw1 and mw2 were hoolywoodish but still
plausible.

i don't want to spoil but a few missions are just so over
the top that alien infested hookers on fire shooting lazers
from their eyes wouldn't even raise my eyebrow.

From everything I read so far, it seems to be summed up in
the following:

MW3=Superior Single Player (bigger console community)

BF3=Superior Multi-Player (bigger PC community)

Every copy of the game comes with 1 Online Pass (PS3). If
you buy it 2nd hand and want to get online then you will
most likely have to buy another pass which is available from
the online store for ($14.95 AUS). EA are a pack of rude
cunts for doing this imo.

I like Modern Warfare 1 (aka COD4) more than any Battlefield
game, but I refuse to play either series anymore because
they milk motherfuckers for bullshit used-to-be-free map
packs. Whatever. TF2 is still fine I guess.
