CoD will beat it by a landslide

Karkland release the day of MW3 releases.Noshino said:Glad that it paid off. While I know there are some things to be fixed, this is DICE, they ll come through.
Uh, easy. What's the best way to hurt MW3? Now that the game has been released and they have a userbase of 10 million, the best they can do is keep most of them playing BF3 instead of wanting to go get MW3.
What's the best way to accomplish that? more content..... specially free (or dirty cheap) content
Meus Renaissance said:So why am I only seeing 7 pages of servers with 90% of them full as it is EA?
I doubt they can get it out by then. They have two weeks and the actual game needs a month worth of patches.JWong said:Karkland release the day of MW3 releases.
They got re-orders. Large numbers of copies are not sitting around unsold.Dandruff5 said:Short term, maybe. But if a bunch of those copies sit at retail for a month or two and they have to drop the price then you get hit with a big chunk of contra-revenue.
Or if they're spending a lot in retail marketing to get those copies into stores, that's another case where your net revenue does not correlate as closely to units shipped.

Tallshortman said:I feel like most people said SP was good. I've personally said that it and CoD4 are the best military shooter SP games of this gen. The problem was that it was relatively short and Multiplayer was uninspired. The thing is, didn't DICE do MoH MP? I guess they used it as a sort of experiment since BF3 and BC2 were vastly superior MP wise.
GraveRobberX said:I know I maybe in the minority, but the SP was really good, the MP was barebones
I was joking when I said Danger Close should do SP for BF3 due to DICE helping with the MP in MOH, maybe they should've?
I'm already growing my Tier 1 beard back =D
BruiserBear said:No one should be surprised the console versions sold more. If you've been paying attention to this past 5 years it was a forgone conclusion.
Pachter needs to back off all predictions, because he's always wrong.SolidSnakex said:I guess Pachter might want to back off of his prediction of MW3 doubling BF3's sales this year.
excaliburps said:I really liked MoH's SP and MP. Multiplayer had a ton of bugs, could use more maps, more diverse support actions, but the overall game mechanic was alright.
I want to see the improvements they're planning on MoH 2.
Also, MP for MoH was done by DICE but by a junior team. Led by Sibben, from what I know. They were supposed to be doing that so they can be entrusted with bigger projects or something from what I remember.
BC2 also had a different project lead. BF3 had Lars Gustavvson, of course.
henhowc said:I never understood why you would report shipped numbers. But I suppose it already counts as being sold to the retailer. But what happens if 5 million of those copies don't get sold? Or amy I misinterpreting what these figures represent?
EA has already said they don't plan on making Battlefield an annual franchise. Last I heard, they plan on rotating between Medal of Honor and Battlefield every year.Beam said:Great numbers. The BF and COD battle will be closer than anyone thought. I think BF is eating into the COD base, but COD will still sell more. Now, does that mean we will get a new BF game annually?
Bazhard said:Pachter needs to back off all predictions, because he's always wrong.
Sure.. he will get "close" to a few predictions but a broken clock is always right twice a day right? i saw large BF3 sales coming mostly due to people are getting tired of COD and BF2 was a HUGE game.

Jtrizzy said:Happy for the success, but I want support. The game is great, but it needs work. Patches for all platforms, and reasonably priced expansion packs.
Rated-Rsuperstar said:MoH really needed a killcam. It would have dramatically reduced camping.
henhowc said:I suppose this explains why they are having those server issues.

But they make what, 30% more $ per copy by selling it themselves?Uriah said:I wonder if PC sales were hurt since the game wasn't on Steam.
x3r0123 said:so next week, bf3 goes for $40?
Majanew said:No word on the first 24 hours? Black Ops holds the record. Does that mean BF3 didn't beat it since the numbers weren't given? Only took like 2 days to get Black Ops 24 hour sales.

I dunno about their strategy. Medal of Honor did well but it ain't no CoD or BF in terms of sales.Pie Lord said:EA has already said they don't plan on making Battlefield an annual franchise. Last I heard, they plan on rotating between Medal of Honor and Battlefield every year.
