IGN’s ‘VS’ Pits MW3 Against Battlefield 3

This year’s two biggest military shooters, both released within the last 30 days, are, of course, Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3. IGN has pitted the two in a head-to-head competition by putting the players (read: IGN’s readers) in charge of the outcome across three categories: graphics, multiplayer, and campaign. Given the sales numbers and the fanboyism behind one of the titles, the outcome is rather surprising. Just look at the total votes for each title at the end. I got a chuckle out of it.

Battlefield 3 Server Browser Breakdown and Other Updates

Here’s the good news: the server browser for consoles has been revealed, and here comes the bad news: there will not be private matches on launch and DICE may be going back on their word to provide Battlefield 1943 to PS3 owners. It just seems to be a poor business move by EA to come out and say this info a few days before release. Needless to say, EA came out and said:“The Limited Edition will not come with BF1943, but with the Back to Karkand expansion.” It seems either they have taken back their original promise, or will include it at a later date for us PS3 owners.

Battlefield 3 “Above and Beyond the Call” Trailer

DICE has just released this awesome trailer for Battlefield 3, accompanied by the sound of Jay-Z’s 99 Problems. I gotta tell you, there are no problems with this trailer, nor the in-game graphics and the never before seen gameplay footage! The trailer titled “Above and Beyond the Call” is clearly a message to Activision’s number 1 selling shooter series in the last decade, Call of Duty.

Quick reminder, Tomorrow will be the first day in the private beta, so if you own a registered copy of Medal of Honor Tier 1 or Limited Edition, then you should be able to download the beta through the PlayStation Store. Xbox 360 users will receive an invitation along with instruction through the registered email. The open beta will start on September 29th and it will be free for all, so no code, pre-order or purchase required!
