So how is it? Were you a COD player and can compare?
I play on PC. I'm a pretty big gamer. Played everything from NES to Xbox360 and PC games. RPGs to FPS.
I've played like 2-3 of the CoDs, the first one on xbox and pc, the other ones only on xbox. I enjoy them but Battlefield 3 is a whole nother level in my opinion. The new Frostbite 2 Engine is amazing as far as graphics and it runs very smoothly. Hit registry is great, when you find a server thats running great its awesome.
BF3 has a bunch of different modes as well to cater to different playstyles.
64 Player Conquest
32 Player Rush
32 Player Conquest
32 (and less) Squad deathmatch (basically TDM)
initially has 9 maps to play on, with each mode available to play on each map.
The maps are beautiful and HUGE. The Conquest Large maps (64 player) are really big and really fun with a lot of vehicles including jets (F-18s, ect.) helicopters (apaches, blackhawks, ect).
The Rush and deathmatch maps are smaller and more infantry-based. Larger rush maps have vehicles.
There's 4 "classes" each with their own set of customizable guns and gadgets. You unlock new scopes, tactical flashlights, laser sights, under-barrel attachments, foregrips, ect. for each gun in each class so there's a massive amount of unlocks. There are also vehicle specific unlocks for all the vehicles.
There's really no way I could recommend CoD over BF3, atleast on PC. If you are on Xbox/PS3 I can't really say because I havn't played it. But I can't imagine MW3 giving us anything "new" this year, while BF3 is a great game that has maps and modes with "CoD-style" gameplay while also offering the more vehicle-based open maps that we have come to expect from a Battlefield game.
