On the other hand, it could also serve to be BF3's downfall. Look what happened to Medal of Honor and Halo:Reach. As soon as Shit Ops came out, gameplay numbers dropped hugely, as most people went to play CoD. DICE have to play it smart with the release date, otherwise what could be the best game in the universe could turn out to be a complete business failure
