I am reading this book (Gears of War: Anvil Gate) and I stumbled across this sentence, "But any shit looks better to most folk as long as it's 'different'." This is SO true! Look at how much attention Battlefield 3 is getting because of it's amazing graphics. Reason people think MW3 is going to suck is because they haven't seen any change in the "looks" of it. Most people like change in look, but I'm one of those few that also notice the game for it's change in gameplay. For MW3 to be judged based on how it looks IN CAMPAIGN is stupid. Campaign is the worst part of CoD AND that is the only gameplay footage we have of MW3. Multiplayer plays a HUGE factor on whether a CoD is going to be good. Battlefield is a great series and I know I am going to love Battlefield 3 but I'm also going to love MW3.
But I'm kinda scared for Battlefield 3... a shitload of fanboys have joined their fanbase because of how good the graphics and the engine is. It's like porn, their attracted to it and now, they are going around yelling at how CoD only has 12 year olds. Why can't people be cool and enjoy both games? It pisses me off. I'm tired of "OH, Battlefield 3 is going to stomp on MW3". They are both different games that have different goals! Battlefield gives off realism but keeps the enjoyment. CoD is fast-paced and depends heavily on it's mulitplayer gameplay to see how good the game is. Kinda like Counter-Strike where the gameplay is excellent, but you don't see destructible environments or super ultra omega graphics. I wish fanboys would die, and that is my little rant on the topic. All of this, came from a quote from a book.
