You can read plenty of reviews about both games on the big gaming sites, and they love both games equally.
Both games score 8/10 9/10 and 10/10 and some are proclaimed to be the best incarnation of the game ever.
Yet user reviews vary very differently.
The Metacritic review of Modern Warfare 3 is 2.7/10
The Metacritic review of Battlefield 3 is 7.6/10
Everyone has their own opinion of the respective games, we love Battlefield and hate Call of Duty games (except CoD 4), but Metacritic shows why... there has been no change to Call of Duty since CoD 4, while Battlefield has genuinely tried to move the game forward at every opportunity.
But you can't fault Activisions brainwashing technique, even the CIA would be jealous. That said there will always be people who will enjoy Call of Duty's gameplay, and some will prefer Battlefield tactics and team work, I just think you can't argue with what the majority of people think, and thats where metacritic comes into it's own.

wow 2.7 on meta for mw3, that's pretty bad.
bF only just getting above average at 7.6
The fact is though, both games aren't as good as they looked.
The logistics and mechanics are what i look at and they both suck in that department.
Bf online is ruined by camping.. hate campers.. fucking boring.

The problem for Activision is that the hardcore fan is turning against them, while the big problem for DICE is the OVERKILL of the weapons promotes camping, defenders in particular dont have to do anything but wait for the enemy to try and arm MCOMM's.
Until DICE fix the bullet damage I'll play Conquest and not rush modes any more.

I agree with Chris, low score looks like deliberate grieving by BF fanboys.

Bah, Humvee.
BF vs CoD is the new PS3 vs XBox. Internet children will always need something to bicker over - it's the tribal nature of mankind. Be it class, race, skin colour, consoles, football teams or whatever, we always will draw imaginary lines then fight over them...
Until aliens invade, and we unite against a common enemy.
