User blog comment:Bovell/Battlefield 3 to have free social portal. More E3 details. New EA PWNED episode on BF3./@comment-216.81.81.84-20110607192352/@comment-2224289-20110607193609

first off, how long does it take to you to recognize Activi$ion will take CODElite down if everyone is using for free? And no, it isn't worth 8 bucks (and I always were a big CoD fan since the first one until I knew Battlefield). Month by month, you'll lose much more money trying those tournaments than buying them instantly. And if you don't remeber, first handed owners of BF:BC2 got 7 map packs for free. We did NOT pay for those DLC's, only Vietnam and it was quite underpriced for the whole package. And what stands Battlefield out from Call of Duty is that we have dedicated servers for consoles. BF3 is probably going to blow out in sales, and they added Team Deathmatch, 90% of odds that was intended to fit with Call of Duty players. So, overall, I see Battlefield more worth it. And if you want CoD fast pace, then buy fricking CoD4 or Counter-Strike. It's cheaper and more worth it ;)
