It is gonna get real ugly, then it becomes a TDM with a team from each console fighting it out on one BIG multi-console map. Guess who'd win that then! Actually, it's really rather funny. Here's the maths: Ok, so BF3's instantly ahead. Then we take into account the physics, so BF3 players can destroy the game environment, sprint for ages, and fight in close combat. CoDians can't destroy the environment (except themselves, naturally), can only sprint for 5 seconds (excluding drug usage) and knife with their third hand. (Just to explain, BF3 GL blows up a wall, CoD nub tub can't, but destroyed sections are the same for both teams) You can guess what happens next... "Activision goes bust after mothers sue company over damages caused to kids by superior game created by EA DICE"
 * CoD 8 - 6 players (probably), vehicles only available from killstreaks, too many "Leeroys" - not working together - and players more interested in talking in static than normal speech. So, 6 players from each of the three consoles = 18 players ragequitters after losing their killstreak.
 * Battlefield 3 - 12 players for the xbox and PS3, and then, cos it's one BIG multi-console map, PC gets 32 players!!! Each one more or less team orientated, me and ZG's guys backing up the team as our medic, assaults giving out ammo, recons spotting guys, and engineers repairing vehiicles and blowing killstreaks outa the sky very, very quickly. Vehicles available from the off, including helicopters, naval vessels, jets that are too fast to be downed by anything that the CoDians can wield, and (of course) armoured tanks and IFVs, all backed up with repair tools. So, 12 + 12 + 32 = 56 smart people.
