Totally agree, I absolutely love the CoD games, even if the style of gameplay has been done the same year after year. It's the type of game that I just pick up and play for a few matches if I only have a small amount of time. But you damn well better believe I'll be getting Battlefield 3, and be playing that way more than I'll ever play MW3.
I wasn't impressed with the MW3 trailer. The previous Battlefield 3 trailers set the bar really high. I'm definitely picking up Battlefield 3 (not sure if I'm doing PC, or PC/360 combo), whereas MW3 will either be a rental or bargain bin pickup.
I didn't buy Black Cocks and I don't regret that one bit. BF3 looks WAAAY more impressive than these phoned-in sequels. MW2 really let the series run amuck IMO. I'll wait for the in-game feedback on TNL before making a final decision. But it's not looking impressive at all.
I'm proud to have never given this franchise a penny. Fuck you, Activision.
I have never given any Battlefield games a fair chance at multiplayer honestly, I played BF1942 for a while when it came out but that's about it. I just got Bad Company 2 a bit ago and haven't had much time to try the multi, so I'll definitely be getting into that before BF3. As for CoD, I'm with Mog, I really love the multiplayer. I love the pacing and style of play for some reason, even though it goes against the teamwork aspect of an FPS that really makes me enjoy it. They are the types of games I'll pick up and play by myself just to kill some people.
I still haven't bought Black Ops... yet. Maybe when it goes to $25, since it's getting a bit older now. Hopefully my case of CoD Burnout will be cured by MW3. I've felt like this before with King of Fighters, only to get reinterested by a later installment.
If the CoD series is around long enough for the next gen, it needs a BIG graphics overhaul (i.e. a Crysis killer) as long as 60 FPS can be maintained. After MW3, I think Activision should put the franchise on hiatus for 1 year to seriously revamp it.
