User blog comment:Bovell/Battlefield 3 release date? Potential showdown with Call of Duty./@comment-1786471-20110402152435/@comment-1916935-20110402234549

MoH was a failure. But BF3 is looking good, and if it was released a week earlier then CoD, it'll force people to choose between the two. And with BF3 offering new gameplay (MW3 most likely will play the same as all the previous CoDs) people will choose BF3, taking away from MW3.
