Battlefield 3 vs. MW3. The dumbest argument this year.

What is wrong with everyone. This has to be the most upsetting and ridiculous argument this year in the gaming community. I want to express something to you. The FPS community of this day in age is spoiled. It is rotten. It has been torn apart. Would you compare Barbie Horseback Riding Adventure to Forza 4? No, but they are in the same genre of racing game. Would you compare Fable to Mass Effect? No, but they are both RPGs. Now you are saying to yourself, "Well, 308, those games are not similar in story and context. This is true. Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3 are both "modern military shooters". There is one difference that people seem to blatantly ignore. They are two different gameplay styles. Battlefield, the grandaddy of modern military shooters, is a hyper-realistic team-based military shooter. It supports team play with a squad structure, realistic terrain destruction, realistic pacing, vehicle combat, and a single player story that makes you a part of something bigger. In Battlefield you take on the role of an everyday soldier in realistic combat situations. You advance in one of four specific, and specially balanced, classes. You play the role that you want to be. Utilizing the pinnacle of realistic graphics technology, DICE is set to release one of the greatest games of all time. On the other hand, and it is on a totally different hand, there is Infinity Ward and their MW3. Call of Duty has always been about making you the hero. You are the epic hero in an action movie. Cinematic events and unrealistic combat situations make it a terrific game to play. It accounts for hours of entertainment. This game, however, is an arcade style shooter. The goal is to obtain as much experience to unlock more powerful weapons. You can become proficient with a certain weapon to unlock upgrades for it. The upgrades are weapon based compared to Battlefield's class upgrade system. MW3 is lacking in the player controlled vehicle combat, but you have the ability to call in airstrikes and support helicopters. MW3 will focus on small intense battles in skirmishes with very fast paced gameplay. Battlefield has a more strategic slow paced gameplay system based around vehicle combat, destruction, and team play. They are two very different games with two very different gameplay styles. They can be compared only on the aspect that they are both modern military shooters, but they cannot be compared against each other. They having something in common, but that is all. Let's just all get along. I will be purchasing both so I can experience both gameplay styles and enjoy both. Think about it people. That's all I have to say about that.
