This years E3 escalated and heated the formerly unspoken rivalry between MW3 and BF3. On Monday, Bobby Kotick, Activision Blizzard’s CEO, hopped on CNBC, stating that Battlefield 3 was merely a PC title with a insufficient target group. In retaliation, John Riccitiello, EA's CEO, commented on the matter and made clear that Kotick was "spreading misinformation" about Battlefield 3 and that it will be also be available for the consoles.

To further amplify the battle, both men had their own statements regarding this matter.

We just want to stay true to the interest of the Call of Duty fans and we try to not get distracted by what people are doing. I can’t objectively tell you what I think of other products until I see them. Battlefield I’ve only seen on a PC and nobody’s seen it on a console yet. Most of our consumers play games on a console. Until I see it on a console, I wouldn’t be objective on commenting on it

It’s the beginning of the war and (Kotick) recognizes they’re going to be threatened. We’re going to have a clash of the titans this fall. The very fact that he’s trying to cast doubt on our game is a perfect example of how we got his goat. In terms of where this goes, we think our PS3 game is better than their Xbox game and our PC game is better than their PC game. If that’s all he’s got to say, it’s obviously going to evaporate as we launch all three. If you went to our press conference, you saw the PS3 footage and the Xbox footage. If Bobby thinks that is PC footage, he’s in real trouble.

Hmm, it seems as if Kotich was a bit more reserved in his response whereas Riccitiello came out swinging. He himself stated that "it's the beginning of war." He went on to mock Kotick's ignorance with his last sentence: "If Bobby thinks that is PC footage, he’s in real trouble." This, to me, just made the whole rivalry that much better! BF3 looked to really push the standards whereas MW3 looks like a polished version of MW2. However, I can't truly judge until I've played both, but from the looks of it, BF3 seems superior.

its BF3 bro

mw3 is going to be more of the same stuff, trick shots and spawn camping. I'll admit I loved the cod 4 and mw2 but I think that bf3 is going to be the victor this year.

Everyone should email this to Activision:

BF3 all the way.

Battlefield = Realism, as real as it gets in the FPS gaming world.
The CoD Series = Run around, reload your gun super fast, and lunge at people from a mile away! Let's not forget about the camping, shooting a grenade into mid-air and killing someone (Imagine that in real war, seeing the soldier's expression on his face when the person next to him just got blown away out of nowhere), and camping in corners.

I like both games a lot, just differs on your preference. I handle both well, but if you want an arcade-type shooter, play Call Of Duty. If you want realism, or just like the Battlefield franchise, play Call Of Duty.

At E3, BF definitely won the battle in my opinion. They're game looked like a new game, one that people could get pumped up for. MW3 on the other hand, looked WAY too much like MW2, single player wise.

From the statements made by developers and what we saw at E3, Battlefield looks to have won the battle, but Call of Duty will win the war.

More people are interested in Call of Duty multiplayer than they are in Battlefield. It's as simple as that. MW3 will beat BF3 in sales.

I do like the competition between the two developers though. It encourages companies to do well and improve on what they create. :y:

My first CoD was MW2. I was really Good at it... literally, but now I've already noticed that CoD games cant last long due to Gamers screwing it up like Hacking, Noobtubing, Camping, Spawn trapping. And BFBC1 was my crust BF game which I personally liked due to the Huge maps, Destruction... You seem to be Free at all times unlike CoD. So I'd honestly Prefer BF3... and The people new to Battlefield; trust me, it's hard to play the first 1-10 Games , but trust me, it gets really easier. :y:
