Action shooter video game enthusiasts have more to look forward to in the latter part of the year 2011. After all, this is when two Xbox games come into the market and diehard fans will be dying to try either of them. Seeing as Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3 are coming out at almost the same time, and they are both war games, gaming enthusiasts will be spoilt for choice and they will be dying to know how to choose the best one that is full of adrenaline and action.

There has been real rivalry between the publishers EA and Activision of the two games before. However, it is amazing how fans who have bought other games from these developers before know their game and they agree that indeed, the Battlefield 3 has more graphics and a superior game engine while Modern Warfare 3 has more appeal and thus a bigger fan base. However, no one can be sure of the maintenance of the status quo but whatever the case, the truth is that gamers are in for a good time come October and November when the two games will be released within a week or two of each other.

To understand what is in store for gamers the world over, perhaps it would be better to look at the two games individually. One thing that is for sure though is that fans cannot afford to miss the two releases and if you love a good war game or action shooter video game, you had better get to upgrading your PC today in anticipation.

You can buy Modern Warfare 3 or Battlefield 3, and either way, you can be assured that gaming will never be the same for you again. While the BF3 is set for release on 25 October 2011, MW3 comes hot on its heels on 8 November 2011. After that, gamers’ world will be turned upside down.

For Battlefield 3, it will be the graphics and the superior game engine that is going to drive the game far. If you love a game where you can get right into thrilling action, then you must not miss this one by all bounds.

Color, the visual and the audio effects, there are more vehicles and players in the multiplayer and it features a bigger single player campaign as well as the co-op player and multi player features.  Unlike other BFs released before it, this one is going to feature additional features like fighter jets, and bigger maps. It will feature maps set in Tehran, Paris, Sarajevo, Oman, Wake Island, Sulaymaniyah and New York with the full arm combat taking place in urban metropolitan settings and open areas that are suitable for   vehicle combats.

Battlefield 3 is about fully fledged action right from the start to the finish, there will be man to man combat, vehicle combat and even airborne warfare.

This game will mainly be PC version that can support up to 64 server players. It will also be released in Xbox and PS3 versions.

Most people are die-hard fans of the Modern Warfare’s Call of Duty. They just have to see the initials COD anywhere and they go buying. Modern Warfare 3 has again used the engine that they used in MW2 with features that allow for destructible environments.

MW3 will not come with dedicated server for PC platforms but it will go straight to PS3 or XBOX. It is true the Activision has never cared for PC and therefore many PC game lovers may be hurt.

Like the COD, Modern Warfare 3 will be easy to play and to master for more enjoyment.

This game features the survival player mode where one or two players fight endless waves of enemies.

In multiplayer maps mode, the players can earn “cash” for ammo, weapons and upgrades.

Unlike its predecessors, it has been revealed that the features that make players to rely less on skill and more on benefits. Hopefully, this game will churn out very skillful players, which will make it even more challenging and vibrant.

Limitations

Although the modern warfare 3 will be released in PC, Xbox and PS 3 versions, many PC lovers will feel left out because there is no advantage of the dedicated servers here.

Many people who have seen the trailer are in doubt whether there is any new upgrade in the engine. It is so like its predecessors.

As always, Activision has revealed far less than its rival EA and   therefore little is known about MW3, which means that you have to wait until the release date on November 8 2011 to see what is in store.

 

Conclusion

From the trailers released both for Battlefield 3 and for Modern Warfare 3, there are many differences between the two engines apart from the fact that they both have 3 at the end. As a gamer, I would go for the Battlefield 3 because as EA has shown before, they want players to focus more on improving their game skill rather than relying on the perks.

There is much more action in the Battlefield 3 where there is destruction in the environment and in the surroundings. If you love working with teams, more features and more vehicle campaigns, this is your game as opposed to the survival mode Modern Warfare 3 which features one or two players fighting endless waves of enemy.

Although the competition is officially on, don’t forget that EA has revealed much more than Activision and therefore you know what to expect.
