Mw3: It seems to be a promising game so far. But do to cods bad past with the multiplayer on mw2 and black ops'... Well just black ops, their is a good bit of doubt with how they will do this time.
Things that would bring fans back:
-Hype
Bc3: they have had a steady rise over the past years. And I can easily say, have caught up to cod. But to say, the storyline is not as, well. You can't really get into bad company's story line as well as you can with modern warfare's.
Fix'd.
Seriously. With the amount of flaming, gloating, touting, bragging and the like going around worldwide about or in protection of CoD (which by the way, wasn't anywhere near as popular until MW2), not to mention the sheer amount of underage kids who get their hands on the game and lack better judgement than to critique things for themselves, MW3 will sell well. Very well even.
Simply because it's riding on the same hype as MW2 and Black Ops.
Want proof? Go post a comment on any MW2 or Black Ops video on youtube stating that "Battlefield is so much better than this" or "CoD sucks". Hell, go so far as to write a well thought out, constructive post about all the negative points of the game.
All of the people who thumbs down you or post replies that aren't well thought out (e.g. "gtfo CoD is da best game evar you fag") will, in all probability, buy MW3.
