I've also started playing MW2 again and it is fun as hell (but fuck the ACOG challenge for the F2000, damn). I haven't touched MW3 in a few weeks. :/
My friend is trying to convert me to Battlefield and I have to admit that I was satisfied by the shotguns that are almost realistic (well, sometimes)...but I'm still turned off by the bullet damage/slow pace of that game.
I hate hearing that really, slow place? So you need constant action and rewards for everything you do? Don't you play other games like Pokemon, RPG's, etc that don't have constant action?
watch this

and tell me how slow paced that is, not only that, but how much more impressive it is when nearly every shot is a headshot.
or how about the sheer insanity of this kill?

How about being stuck in a building as all 24 people duke it out in that same area, with the walls being blown out, tanks rumbling in, and firefights literally every second?
I've seen jets crash into tanks that were about to kill me, I've driven tanks straight through entire buildings running over like 5 people in the process and collapsing the building afterwards. I've seen people sniped out of helicopters, I've seen headshots at over 1000 meters. I've engaged in firefights so fierce that by the end of the game all 24 people had 30 plus kills.
Not to mention the time I no scope headshot a helicopter pilot while parachuting. (by accident I might add)
Forget playing solo, play the game with friends, find a good team and watch as you annihilate every single game. That jet causing you trouble? have a friend take it out. someone camping? Your buddy can RPG and blow up the wall and the camper.
The reward in battlefield is a win, the fun is in achieving that.
If you find the pace of the game slow, clearly you aren't playing the game right. Battlefield can offer some of the most frantic non stop action avaliable, as well as offering more measured battles. Is it a slower pace then COD over all?
Well duh, yeah, but is it a slow paced game? Not by any means, it's just a different game is all. You should appreciate a game because of what it offers, not just because the shotguns work or whatever. If you approach the game thinking COD, it isn't going to be as fun. If you approach the game caring about your K/D don't even bother playing the game.
Now that being said, I borrowed MW3 and almost immediately gave it back. Not worth it. It's not a bad game, not at all, it's just to much of the same, and to not worth it in my opinion. Like I said, I'd give it a solid 8 or something, because the SP was really really fun, but overall it isn't for me.
Back to playing COD4 ^^
