Honest question Handsaw.. Quality of AIM? You cannot compare the two, the movement etc on BF3 isn't in the same league, everyone sits in corners.. tactical lights.... really? a gay little torch reduces your vision to zero even in daylight!?

How can someone so into COD even begin to start discussing realism?

they have patched this Jas, i think the aiming is harder yes BUT more realistic, so people cant shoot you from a million miles away easily, you get a fair chance to return fire.

Putting bipods on SMG's ruined BF3 for me. Thats just asking everyone to camp. 
 
BF3 maps are also perfect for camping! 
 
MW3 as said have worked towards getting rid of the ability to camp. With better game modes such as Kill confirmed. 
 
MW3 Runs alot smoother imo, and spotting enemies is more realistic. 
 
I decided the reason i was so shit at BF3 was because i was sitting about 2 Meters away from a 50 inch TV which makes it hard to spot enemies quickly. Now i have moved it to a more sensible location i will try it again. 
 
I wouldnt say BF3 is shit, its down to personal preferance. I love the vehicles and destructive environment side of it and the teamwork aspect. 
 
However if i want to just have a quick rampage MW3 is the better game for that. 
 
Also the Spec Ops and survival mode and single player is better.

Yet which one looks more impressive visually? 
 
Don't get me wrong, I love COD, but MW3 is like such a step backwards and a real disappointment. They'd of been better off just releasing another map pack for MW2 since they're the same game. 
   
 
I really don't agree, at first I thought the same, but after playing it for a while I've realised it really is so much better.  
 
I just wish they would rethink the perks, and remove perks like Marksman and Quick draw, I like QS/Snipers but there is nothing worse than watching someone in SND fail repeatedly with a sniper and cost you the game. i have to use these perks just to stand a chance...

you need to try different game types mike, i very rarely see people lying down with bipods, try game like rush, you cant camp on that really. 
 
also if you are getting shot by a camper you can always see where they are and get them back? drive a vehicle right back to them or get a mortar out and nail them

I actually do like the game battlefield, but like said previously unless you've got a full party, you're going to lose. 
 
Camping is popular from what I noticed. 
 
The games are completely different, but I would NEVER pick up BF3 before MW3.. 
 
I've had MW3 a week now and my BF3 is collecting dust

MW3 is shit so it wouldnt be hard for anything to be better than it yet I'd still rather it over BF. Theres a massive gap in the market right now to catch all those people who think COD is shit yet still play it or resort to BF.

Or you could spawn, and immediately pull out your shotgun and shoot them from any range

i like the fact you can get in a chopper or jet, fly somewhere over the map and land somewhere no one else has ever gone before, BF3 is just so much more diverse then COD, every game is SO different, COD is boring, MW3 is boring, i now have a £35 coffee mat in my bedroom

me and Jonny can confirm that getting a tank and using it to find people camping up hills works

mike - i genuinely think you had a couple of bad games, we were playing rush when you joined and personally i find that MUCH more difficult, play with us again soon when we are on conquest, we win about 90% of the games easily, played like 15 games in a row the other night and won them all

The maps are hard/take time to get used to too. I found myself heading to where i thought the enemies where but got shot from behind, then realising that i was being a daft cunt!
