Don't know if this thread has be done, but here goes anyway.
I don't know if Modern Warfare 3 will live up to all the hype that it's been getting. Yes, this is "the most anticipated game in history," but it seems to me like it is more "the most anticipated FPS concept since WW2." When this game was announced, I was excited because we were going to get a chance to play a fiction world war. Then I realized that it was a Call of Duty game and my interests started to falter.
Many know that the CoD franchise is more a multiplayer craze than a single player/co-op campaign craze. For such a great game concept to just be completely ignored by the ever-so-popular multiplayer, seems like a lost.
Despite all this, MW3 looks like it's going to be a solid, great game, despite most of the interest will be placed squarely on it's multiplayer content.
Battlefield 3 has a much simpler campaign, but the focus also lies in the multiplayer. And it looks awesome. The main interest in B3 is the usage of vehicles, which is what I was always interested in an FPS. Not to say that I'm biased, but other than specialized guns, perks, and kill streaks, CoD hasn't done anything major in it's last 3 installments. The inclusion of weapons will give a variety of gameplay and not merely having a giant bullet sponge that you can hurl at your friends.
So personally, I would choose Battlefield 3 over Modern Warfare 3. I get most of what you see in the CoD franchise and also vehicles. I think this is what they meant when Battlefield 3 goes "above and beyond the Call (...of Duty)."
So fellow escapists, what do you choose?
