The fact is:
The graphics are with the best that we have seen on the Xbox so far. A comparison between PC and console is totally ridiculous because technically 7 years lie between the two systems. A direct comparison also does not change the very good graphics on the console for console ratios.
Fact is also:
The sound is thrilling and gives great battlefield atmosphere
The campaign is staged exciting. Even if story elements were inspired by other games, it's still a great staged campaign. Inspiration is walk and add in the industry, apart from the fact that it will be difficult to tell a war story without overlapping with other war stories. War is nunmal similar in many cases. Moreover, what really matters is the Multieplayermodus and topt everything.
As I said, I play MW and BF in Multieplayer and have to say, for me, BF is one step ahead. First, you can destroy the environment, secondly, there are vehicles and airplanes, and thirdly, the gameplay is fast, if you want, but also very tactically, if you want. MW is much too fast for my taste, reminiscent of classic deathmatch shooter without tactical depth and frontline. Far too stressful for my taste.
I'll expand my review even further and provide more information. Only, this Fanboykrieg here must stop. 3.5 stars is justified in any way. BF3 is a product of consistently high quality and has loose, earned 4.5 stars in direct comparison with other products. Really negative to count only the Online Pass, the Missing Manual (or that it can only be accessed in digital form in the game), and server problems at the start of the game (which were fixed but gradually / are).
