I'd definitely say Battlefield beats Modern Warfare.

Think of it this way: Playing Modern Warfare means that any online match will involve dealing with the Modern Warfare fanbase.

Well BF3 looks amazing. I would get that first. MW3 is basically MW2, just with different things really.

Get CoD for a console and battlefield for a PC. Which one you have should determine which one you get.

I have tried the bf3 beta, so far it sucks, I will still gibe it a chance though. Plus the campaign will be better that I am quite sure. CoD sucks horribly don't even bother.

ha, that's like trying to decide if duct tape is better then peanut butter and jelly.

it depends which platform you're going to play on, if it's PC, I would get bf3, but otherwise I'd probably get mw3. i think it is more important on which you would like more, i really don't know, and these games aren't even out yet. they both seem like they'll be pretty good, too

^Agreed
I'd go for BF3

Skyrim's good, but only if you have the right PC for it. Oblivion was horrible on consoles, so I doubt you'd want Skyrim on console. To help decide, the BF3 open beta came out today on Origin, XBL, and PSN. MW3 is pretty meh in my opinion.

zher my friend is getting skyrim so i can just borrow his

Man. But Skyrim is beast. Mw3.

i don't care by people that i don't already know (my friends list is almost full)

Lol I honestly want MW3 by preference, but I mean, more people are gonna buy MW3 because COD has a better, more developed reputation that BF, so yeah. :P If you wanna play with a wider variety of people, get MW3, but if you wanna play with pros, get BF3.

zher i just want one from those two chocies

Skyrim. Awhh yeah.

i know i kinda (would/will) like bf3 and mw3 equally so i am just gonna go by this internet fourm

Just depends on what you like better... BF3 is technically the better game, but it's 99% what YOU would prefer to play. Look at gameplay vids and see which one you like better.

bf3 or mw3 lemme tell you backrounds of each ones bf3=i have a squad and more people on my fr.list one being one of my best (online) friend but for mw3 80% of my friends will mostliely buy it but i am a slightly bigger bf3 fan then cod so what should i buy (first for a month or 2)
