They're probably trying to kill the ratings due to the simple fact they are too stupid to play the game and enjoy it. *Should fire then forcefully hang those critics. I'd personally love to remove their hands with a dull blade so they never post another stupid blog again* Are completely Biased on BF3, are poking at the COD title becoming a 'instant seller', or are being payed out by competitors. I wouldn't be surprised if EA had underhanded tricks in all of this. Lets come up with another insane lawsuit shall we? We'll be copyrighting all of the materials that even closely resemble this game. (Like the age old tanks game)
Origin is like the very first fuck that failed to fly. Forcing something onto players that has NO excuse to be terrible in this day and age. Steam's a terrific example of what to do and how to do it, and do it right, not better, or 'best' but right. Right for gamers, right for developers, right for corporates, right for everyone.
There's other lesser known examples but when you put enough effort into it with the correct values, you'll end up getting something that will really be appreciated by all.
As for the BF3 vs. MW3, I don't pick sides as I have not nor have any intention to play any of their titles, however I did play COD and the expansion UO and I thought they were pretty good. Battlefield...not so good, probably didn't spend enough time on it, but goes to show how I prefer detail than simple
for games.
