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.

Looking at both the games teaser releases, Its going to be one of those you have to play the games and see then, Although after the dissapointment I had with BlackOps I would like to see how MW3 stacks up agianst it. BF3 on the other hand is going to be one of them games where in the past its been a bit quiet on the front compared to its rivals such a COD, personally I would like to play both games before I make my opinion on what is the better game for all we know BF3 could frash MW3, on the other had MW3 could smash BF3 and reck the legacy BlackOps probly didn't make. Out of this all my real thing behind MW3 coming out is... Is it better than Black Ops?
