One thing I should say up front: If you want to know what Modern Warfare 3 is like, the first thing you should do is play Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops. However, there are things that MW3 does that Battlefield doesn't even attempt, and in these areas, Activision's product wins out. Even on a high-end computer, Modern Warfare just looks like a decent console title, albeit one with its moments of graphical brilliance. For example, we've known since the earliest trailers that Battlefield 3 would be the better-looking PC game, and that Modern Warfare 3 would still be creaking along on Infinity Ward's engine-which, despite constant adjustments over the last half-decade, hasn't kept at the front of the pack, especially on PCs. Now that Activision's Modern Warfare 3 is with us, does it clear that bar, sail high above it, or trip over it? It depends on what, exactly, you want out of an FPS.īattlefield 3 nailed everything that it really tried to do-pushing modern computers to their limit, creating huge multiplayer battles with destructive environments, etc.-and if you want those things, Modern Warfare 3 is not your title. For PC owners, as far as Holiday Season 2011 is concerned, the bar for first-person shooters has been set: On October 25, DICE and EA pulled the trigger on Battlefield 3, which was widely praised for its built-for-PC graphics and fine-tuned multiplayer, but condemned for its tacked-on single-player mode and horrendous server problems at launch.
