Which game are you getting BF3 or MW3 ?

[TheAnalogKid]

the PC version is not the same. found a couple of differences so far.

from Patrick Bach, executive producer for DICE :

COD has a pc version, no? We aren't comparing PC to console. Both 'teams' in this 'war' have a pc release for their game. I'm not sure how we can just discount 1 of 3 platforms for each game because we don't like it.

[Onslaught X]

Yeah I thought so too, hence my original response (i think it does stick you there on consoles, but you can obviously use the xmb to quit out)

Yeah but quitting to the XMB is stupid if I only want to switch servers. It's annoying, and DICE should have took that into account.

It is. Their clusterfuck of a friends 'lobby' is dumb as fuck, too.

MW3 PC has 18 players just like the console versions. the 40 player difference between the consoles and PC versions of BF3 is huge.

Why exclude it, in this particular case? One of the two teams in this 'war' focused on the pc and made a point of showing it. This isn't Sony vs MS smackdown (although, we know thats what you are going for). This is a 'war' between two developers who both put their game out on pc in the highest quality means they possible could. Why exclude the one platform that is balanced?

Cool. I see how it goes. Never has the PC version of the same games score been brought up like this before, but it is now, and it's cool to do so.

So it's been said. PC's where it's the same conformity as it is with consoles. Everyone's PS3 is playing BF 3 the same way, they're getting the same look, the same sound, but everyone's PC is not playing the game the same.

Sounds good.

One plus that wasn't mentioned for BF is that you can change and adjust your class each and every time you die. Thats a huge advantage over COD (from what I recall), because many times, you may not have the perfect load-out for the style of opponent you have. In COD, you are stuck with it. In BF, I can adjust on my first death and switch to a different class or change out my current class weapons/structure.

You're wrong. When you die in COD, you can change to whatever class you want to be. I have 4 different load outs with 3 different strike packages set, so when I die and have to change strategy, I can do so.

Right. I understand. Thats not Battlefields fault that it took advantage of PC offerings, though. Are you saying BF3 is better than COD on pc because there is a higher player count?

Thats why I said 'from what i recall'. I wasn't sure. If so, then good and my point is baseless.

Yeah you can change your class, but you can't actually modify your classes mid-match, unless I'm mistaken?

Not that it matters too much, I like to only use 1 class or two, but changing certain killstreaks on the fly would be nice.

So..let me get this right. You want to compare scores at metacritic to determine which game is 'superior', but you only want to use the scores you like. Is that about it?

Graphics before gameplay

He didn't mention gameplay. Nice troll.

Yeah, this is also what I meant. I can make adjustments within the current class to further tailor my character to the battle at hand.

correct, that 40 player difference is huge. if you have 64 players compared to 24 players on a giant Battlefield map, thats got to be mega fun. lots more action.

LOL, post of the day. BF3 on PC is too good and too nuclear so we're not going to include it in our discussion. Plus, not everyone has the same PC so some may be running it at 1920 x 1080 and some might be running it at 2560 x 1440....so that means its invalid.

convenient for you, right?
good things consoles didn't hold back BF3, as you claimed and denied again recently.
