If MW 3 reminded me of The Rock, Battlefield 3 can be compared to Black Hawk Down. Not for the actual storyline but the presentation: flying debris, the gun shots and mayhem. The graphics looks to be higher res compared to MW 3. But then again, it’s probably running on a high end PC while MW3 is on the Xbox 360.
Battlefield 3 is scheduled for release on 10/25/2011 , while MW3 will be out on 11/8/2011. It should be interesting to see which FPS will be the king of 2011.
