Everyone who is talking about how BF3 didn't kill CoD and how that is bad, consider two things for a sec. First of all, MW3 isn't even out yet but when it does come out, it won't matter cause it will be like the hype around MW2. "OHHH THIS IS THE GREATEST GAME EVER" for the first three months then people will realize just how much the game is actually overrated and thus will play other things. But also, if Battlefield were to kill CoD and become the new CoD, well then the experience is no longer the same (sorry if I start going into some Philosophy stuff). Battlefield is defined not just by the vehicles and the destruction but the fact that is an alternative to CoD. Battlefield is defined by the fact that it is not CoD and we Battlefield players are defined by the fact that we cannot stand CoD or we find it overrated and therefore refuse to play it. If Battlefield becomes the new CoD, we lose our sense of Non-Conformity and being those that refuse to play what is mainstream (sorry if I start to sound like a hipster) we lose our purpose. Or if you don't want to look at it from the Philosophical point of view, consider the fact that just like with the great exodus from Halo, all the small, fat, annoying, short-tempered, homophobic, racist 12 year olds from Call of Duty will come to Battlefield and matches will go from badass squads working in synchronization attempting to complete the objective while helping each other out to people running around with sniper rifles jumping around and spinning like schizophrenics trying to kill each other and looking like some kind of badass. It would ruin the game. I don't want Battlefield 3 to be #1 on the top played games list cause the day we no longer have a popularity problem for the series will be a bad day because we will have a bigger problem. We will have a campers, and noob tubers problem.
