@diehard - LOL, you are serious? First of all, you CANNOT compare God Of War to Halo. They aren't even the same genre of games. Second, PS3 exclusives are better, imo. Name 3 "must have" games based on popularity? That's simple. God Of War, Resistance, Uncharted. And that's not even mentioning great games like Killzone, Gran Turismo, Little Big Planet, Infamous, Heavy Rain, MAG, ModNation Racers, MLB The Show, The Sly Cooper series, the Jak and Daxter series, the Ratchet and Clank series, and Twisted Metal. PS3 has all of those things except Last.fm and Xfinity. But, in its place we have: Amazon instant video (Ok, Xfinity is better) Qriocity: Music unlimited (better than Last.fm) So that makes that even.. Agreed Xbox connection is better. Easier to play w/ friends on Xbox? Yes. Easier to manage them on Xbox? No. Interface is an opinion. You cannot prove that Xbox's interface is better. Lol. What innovation? It's funny you say that about the GUI, because most people agree PS3 has better graphics. Well I've certainly never talked to the "most people" you've talked to. And in my personal experience the PS3's graphics are sub-par in a lot of game comparisons to the 360. I will agree that the PS3 runs games smoother. And as for your games argument, all of those games that you listed...how many of them are THAT popular besides Uncharted? Also I do not argue PS's dominance in the past with games like Twisted Metal, Jak and Daxter and Ratchet and Clank. But I'm talking about NOW. The here and now, and not the nostalgic past. I can compare Halo and God of War if I'm talking in terms of popularity, which is how I was speaking the whole time. All you have to do is look at playerbase and sales and you know which series is more popular, do I need to bring out the numbers? We're all stats guys here, but I think it's obvious who wins in that department. I'm not comparing them as games themselves, I'm comparing them in popularity. Fine, I'll agree interface is a straight up opinion and really can't be backed up factually. HOWEVER! What do you mean, WHAT innovation? You seem like you're big into gaming, so did you watch E3 this year? Did you watch Microsoft's conference? Do you see everything they're doing with the Xbox? Smartglass is completely revolutionary in gaming for consoles. My whole point about the 360 is they KEEP adding on and don't let up and keep innovating their ideas and their processes. Sony has done nothing but more of the same for their Playstation console. Maybe we'll really know who the superior is when the new consoles release, big rumors have it that the next-gen xbox is set to release next year, and Sony has been quiet, but I'm sure they'll react right after Microsoft as they have recently done in the past. But Marchingon, I love you, no homo, but I have a feeling that we may have to agree to disagree. Let me put it to you this way, I'm a PC guy. I really don't like either console exclusively, I only try to look at it objectively. If I can get a game on PC I will, because it will look, run, sound, and feel way better than it ever will on a 360 or a PS3.

Just finished it last night! Pretty short.. The controls are a little hard to get used to.. but the hardest part for me is how different the movement and shooting is! Controls are the same..the only thing different is crouch, knife, and grenade. Didn't really have any trouble with that, but yeah it took a while for me to get used to the shooting. I still have a tough time killing anyone farther than a few feet away. The guns recoil so much more than they do in MW (except M4A1). BF3 is more realistic in every way..and it looks and sounds so much better. Lol I have a story about this. I had a console since 2006 I believe and In 2011, months before BF3 was released, I preordered it because it looked amazing. I was not dissapointed, I went to gamestop the day it came out and picked it up, and I'm all excited and everything and I put it in my Xbox and my xbox breaks.... REALLY?...... REALLY?!?! The first game I ever preordered and was excited for and then my xbox breaks!!! So yeah... I had a useless brand new game sitting there for months untill my parents were so generous to buy the call of duty modern warfare console at christmas. I played MW3 and it was sooo bad. I got spawn killed every 5 secs or I would die from someone behind me. I want to trade the game in so bad! BF3 is the best shooter there is IMO. I have yet to buy the close-quarters map pack, but it looks amazing.

(Not to mention tiny maps)Noobers, endless spawn kills, people knifing from 10 feet away, and death streaks all annoy me to no end (even though I do it all the time too). That's just the way MW is. Just part of the game. But I do like the game. I haven't bought any extras yet.. but eventually I'll get the extra guns, vehicles, and map packs

Back to Karkand came free with my game. Honestly, it's worth buying it for 15 bucks or whatever it costs. The two best maps it comes with are Sharqi Penninsula and Gulf of Oman. Both are great for conquest, rush, and squad rush. It's tropical on the penninsula and desert with a gulf on the Oman. Both have SUPER tall Cranes that you can climb and snipe people so high up. And then you can run along the cranes and sky dive when you're done sniping. There is also a really tall building that is used in squad rush that has like 6 stories on Sharqi Penninsula, and on Gulf of Oman there is a building probably 15 stories tall that you can go up in and snipe. Both really good maps that are medium to long range firefights with some close quarters.
They're ok for team deathmatch, but the graphics on these maps are incredible. Wake Island is not very good though.

@ Beastified
I had something similar to that happen to me! twice.. My fat PS3 had just run out of warranty like a week before.. and I had pre-ordered Madden 10.. plug it in and my ps3 YLODed my ass..
It happened almost the same way with my next fat PS3 plug in NHL 11 after waiting forever.. and bam YLOD! I almost went out and bought an X-box right there..
@ Jancey
I prefer MW over BF.. I like BF its nice for a change! but I can't stand vehicles in FPS games.. it drives me absolutely nuts! That is one thing I dislike.. plus I just like the way MW plays better the kill streaks can get annoying they are beatable.. I would take them over vehicles any day!
Oh also I was playing this one map on BF3 the other night where it was like an oil rig and buildings and in a deserts I can't remember the name.. All I know is that I was sitting on top of this mountain sniping and I picked off like 3 guys from all the way across the map.. Sadly they stopped going on top of the buildings so I waited for like 7 minutes and nobody came into my sites so I ran downs to get closer and instantly I was killed by a tank.. But I was pumped cause MW isn't a good sniping game!
I wish in BF they had a pure sniper mode where everyone had to snipe! cause some of those maps would be sick for that!

I don't like the vehicles either, that's why I mainly play Squad Rush (4 on 4 game where you have to detonate the two bomb sites), Team Deathmatch (I think it's 12 on 12 or 16 on 16, I forgot), and Team Deathmatch Close Quarters (which is 8 on 8). None of them have any vehicles.
I do like the conquest and rush to change it up a bit though when I do want to get in a jeep or something and run people over, lol.

Ok this is off topic but it's just an idea that came to my mind when you said vehicles.
I think Battlefield should create a map online that is called "Airplane."
Basically both sides have two airplanes that they start off in. These aren't commercial flight airplanes, they are military but they are bigger. Basically both teams have a pilot and gunner. The pilot can be an AI or human, depending on game options.
Anyways, the object is to kill all other players and each player only has one life. Neither airplane has any parachutes, so you cannot leave the plane or you will fall to your death.
However, if your pilot is good, you can jump from your plane and land ontop of the other plane and go inside of it and kill the pilot inside the opposing plane and try to kill everybody else in the plane, but they will be shooting back at you!
But yeah, there will be windows in both planes and both sides will be shooting out windows etc. trying to kill the other players even if they arent in the same plane. The plane cannot go down by gunfire though because it's armored.... The rules will be you cannot use any rpgs or explosives but you can use shotguns, sniper rifles, and assault rifles.
I think that would be pretty cool. But they'd have to make it so that it isn't nearly impossible to get inside of the opponents airplane, but still pretty challenging.
Another idea is they should have a "Dog Fight" game mode where you can go on any map and there are 16 Jets, each on 8 sides. Each Jet has two players, the Pilot (Who can drive and shoot missles), and the Gunner (who can shoot machine gun and put locks on targets for missles). One life only each and best out of 3 each game. And the gunner could also shoot the flares if they have it unlocked.
