CoD Killer?

I've been waiting for Battlefield 3 for a while now and I have to say- this next installment has a real chance of knocking the Call of Duty games right off the top spot in the next step in the world of FPS. Here's why, the people that were big fans of Battlefield 2 are going to come back because they found it to be more difficult  and more realistic than MW2. It wasn't  as bug ridden and hacker prone as the CoD games were either and that is a big plus. Everything about the previous 2 titles says that this one is going to improve 10 fold over the last game and I think thats nothing but trouble for the frustrated fan base of CoD. It really is starting to feel like CoD has stopped trying. And that said, Black Ops is the best CoD to date and I think they will improve the next game by a lot but the other FPS are already taking steps that CoD hasn't really done anything with. Vehicle warfare and crippled body parts are just some things that BF2 had and BF3 will improve on. Even something as simple as being able to mount your LMG to a brick wall, or destructible environments  is steps ahead of where CoD needs to be.

Graphics wise, I think that CODBO did fine with the environments but the characters and guns in the game seem cartoony and poorly done. If I wanted cartoony graphics, I would play Halo. The game just looks flat out amazing and I can't wait to get my hands on it. I really look forward to seeing how well it does and how fast Black Ops falls because of it. I really wish this could be more in depth, but I need to get my hands on the game first! I hope to get some thought and opinions from you guys!

Xbox 360 vs Playstation 3

When it comes to shear processing power the PS3 runs circles around the 360. On the other side the 360 has more exclusive games and downloadable content that is available for almost a month over other platforms. So what side does one choose? On paper that stats for the PS3 says that big things are comong and coming fast. Huge games with amazing graphics and out of this world environments that you could interact with in every way. But where is it, where is all this break though content that we were promised? With Uncharted 2 and God of War 3 we thought it was here. And when Killzone 3 comes out, maybe thats what I've been looking forward to, but it just seems like they aren't trying surpass everyone to me. Then you take a look at the 360 and see that it was out almost a year before the PS3 and easily has 2x times the content because people refused to wait and bought the 360. And that head start really did a lot to stop the PS3 from being progressive. And they had another chance when they made some half assed attempt to improve on Nintendo's motion controllers but Xbox 1-uped them  again with the Kinect. The PS3 got cocky and thought since they ran the industry for 15 years they could show up late to the game and still outsell everyone . But that didn't happen, All that potential power just sits there, waiting to be unleashed but still, for the most part it seems like nobody cares. When are they going to finally tap into the power of this machine and finally give us something INNOVATIVE. I want you to pull through this slump Sony, I really do but you've shown me nothing to prove that you will be leading the way again anytime soon.

There have been opportunistic times that have come to Playstation to never have been in the situation that they  are in now. Its like they just forgot to show up for the meetings. For instance. you knew after the 1st day that the Halo franchise was going to be a huge success. What did you do to compete with it? You sure as hell didn't make an effort to get the exclusive rights to the Call of Duty franchise, you didn't worry about keeping the Final Fantasy contract. You sure as hell didn't put your development team to work on a FPS thats was going to have a shot at toping the Halo game and sling-shotting your system to the top for good. As far as I can tell you didn't do a damn thing about any of it and now are trying to scramble for answers. This is why I don't feel bad about turning my back on you Playstation. You lost an extremely loyal fanbase because you got lazy and cocky. I know many many people that don't even care what you do now because they have the 360 and are happy. If you ever want to be on top again you need to start spending some goddamn money and put some shit on the table that Mircosoft has to try to catch up to you on. If you don't do that, you might as well just stick to tvs because there wont be many more chances. If the new Xbox hits shelves before Sony comes out with something new and innovative, Playstation might as well just give up.

Of course these are my opinions, and they may not mean much on a grand scale but I just miss my playstaion and wish that they weren't such dumb asses. Please let me know what you guys think!
