TC’s Massive Poll: Battlefield 3 vs Modern Warfare 3

Alternate Universe Introduction

You eyes slowly flicker open, you have no idea how long you have been unconscious or where you are. The last thing you can remember was the battle, there must have been sixteen of your squad fighting against the insurgents but somehow one of the enemy had mange to creep up behind you. A flash of pain as a rifle butt slammed in to your skull is the last thing you can recall.

You are sat on a wooden chair that creaks noisily as you struggle but despite your attempts you cannot move, your arms are tied firmly behind back. You are a prisoner.

The light from a dying fire helps your eyes adjust to the gloom and you can just make out the walls of a cave, and in one corner a computer screen.

As the screensaver flicks through pictures of Tom Hardy you begin to notice other details. A flag with a mysterious symbol hangs from a wall, it is white and blue and the symbol looks similar to an asterisk. Various weapons are stacked in the corner of the room; sadly they are all out of reach.

Suddenly a curtain on the far wall is flung open and a tall, gruff looking man walks in. It is the leader of the insurgents, a fearsome Russian known throughout the world as Peter the Awesome. His two henchmen, Aleks and Kristoff follow him in to the cave.

Aleks begins to speak. “You dirty pig-dog! You are our prisoner now, there is no escape from clutches of TSA! Do you know where you are?”

Kristoff chuckles quietly and leans towards you, “You are in Tuffcub’s cave at the back of the TSA office!”

“You must choose. If you do not choose then we shall unleash the Cub. Choose carefully for the fate of millions rests in your hands,” shouts Peter.

Both Aleks and Kristoff laugh. It is an evil laugh, a laugh that strikes terror in your heart.

“Choose now,” commands Peter, “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 or Battlefield 3. Which will you be buying?”

  1. Both? I’ll have a Birthday and then birthday money to spend suckers :P :D

  2. Neither. I’m not really interested in realistic FPS’s.

  3. Both, if they’re both good. Or one. Or neither if they’re both rubbish. Too early to say, I don’t think going to be swayed by brand loyalty and preview shots alone.

  4. Neither. They’re both generic, boring FPSs and the downfall of the modern game.

  5. Brilliant TC, can’t believe you got away with this ;)

    I went for both.

  6. Just Battlefield for me in the hope it lives up to the example set by BF2 and 2142. I haven’t been a huge fan of the last set of Call of Duty titles and have got everything crossed for BF3 to live up to the expectations of its PC roots.

  7. BF3 on release and I’ll see about MW3 further down the line. I did it the other way round last time and wished I’d got BF on release day.

  8. None currently.

    Not got enough info on MW3 yet and as for BF3 im going to play the demo then make my mind up

  9. I’ll be buying both, but not until they’ve dropped in price. UC3 and Skyrim will be keeping me busy in november-december.

  10. I like this alternate world! Voted both, too.
