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.

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
