Big discussion as of late between the two, Battlefield is supposedly "better" because of the game engine being more interactive eg blowing walls apart, but MW2 left an itch unscratched.... Which will you guys be looking at?

BF3 for me, having just played the alpha it is very good some balancing issues with with a good team and mix of classes it works well the first map, there is a whole buch of tweak to gameplay mechanics too where you now get more points for suppression fire and bunch of other cool stuff

sprinting may be unrealistic but who in real life in a battle zone only sprints for 30secs

I'm leaning towards Battlefield 3..

I'm going to "demo" these two when they come out (for the single player experience) but I will pay my hard earned money on Battlefield 3 for multiplayer. BF3 will have dedicated server support from the word go and that's the big thing leaning me towards this

DICE have said that BF3's lead platform is the PC then Consoles where as Infinity Ward (Most likely pushed by Activision) will go the other way round (console first, PC second)...also MW3 has no dedicated server support so expect finding local games a bit more difficult (and deal with bad ping rates)

I will more than likely be buying both but no point in saying this is better or that is better blah blah blah

Until you have played both in their finished states it doesnt matter...in the end its all about which one is a fun experience for you and anyone with a narrow mindset will miss out on the fun in the other

BF3, anyday, i cant play COD no more after the whole destruction ability in BFBC2, wish battlefield had zombies tho, zombies go good with anything, especially a cup of tea and a hot cross bun. also this whole 32vs32 on PC will be EPIC, but the poor consoles will only support 12v12 players, haha

going for the one that's not based on Quake 3 games technology.

Hoping that MW3 will be the one that FINALLY kills off a stale cash cow franchise.

Its getting that way isnt it! I remember playing the first CoD on pc when it was up against medal of honor and everyone just blew out how much better it was but apart from going to modern warfare its the same setup ever since then.

I read that they're using a tweaked mw2 engine...

I admit, the single player in MW1 and 2 was cool, and the story interested me.

The multi however, has been exactly the same since COD2.

I dislike intensely how the video game industry has become not only dumbed down console focused, but the whole thing of having to release a franchise update every year at around the same time. How can a quality game be made or innovation had when everything is pandering to a tight schedule and lowest common denominator?!

BTW BLOPS single player sucked because of the ridiculous historical inaccuracies (like having M16's with 30 round mags and fancy scopes in 1960), and the multi was lag central on PC!

BF3 for sure. :thumbsup:

The Call Of Duty series seems to be focused on churning out very similar games on a yearly schedule, without new technology or major changes to the gameplay.

I'm very disappointed about how little the series has progressed since MW1. Call Of Duty was groundbreaking up until that point, i think that point is where consoles became the priority and gameplay started to be dumbed down.

Look at the tech Dice are using these days, the physics are just amazing not to mention the graphics.

Dice are pushing the envelope, trying to make their game the best experience. Whereas Call Of Duty developers seem content to keep churning out mediocre games with old tech and bland gameplay because they still make money.

    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
