Published Oct 27 2011, 12:01 BST | By Matthew Reynolds
The first-person shooter market is always a competitive one, but this year it steps up a notch as Electronic Arts brings out the big guns with Battlefield. After testing the waters with last year's Medal of Honour, it now has a game to seriously compete with the UK's best-selling series Call of Duty.With Battlefield 3 out this week and Modern Warfare 3 out within a fortnight, which game are you siding with? Are you picking up both, or possibly neither?
Battlefield 3 is out now in North America and Europe. Modern Warfare 3 will be available from November 8 worldwide.

Battlefield 3 single player sucks! Enemies always spawn in same place when u die making it too easy. I completed it in less than 8hrs! But the 'Frostbite 2' engine is the best and kicks all competition out of the water. If CoD used this engine then nothing would touch it! I still think CoD has the edge and will still rate No.1 FPS for me. EA need to concentrate on making its NFS games as that's what they are best known for. Battlefield 8/10 - CoD 10/10.

If you want to be technical, BF3 for console players has small maps. And camp fest? In BF, that's called playing tactical lol. As for no vehicles, really? That's a reason not to buy a game? Poor.
EA want to capture the console audience so badly, that they've decided to treat it like crap instead with sub-par graphics and failed promises. I was quite looking forward to playing 1942 on my copy of BF3, but EA opted out of that, so now i've opted out of my pre-order. I guess there are some advantages to America getting game's before the UK afterall!
