BF3 or MW3?

I ended up selling BF3 and picking up MW3. BF3 was good, but not my preference. I like the run and gun style of MW3.
MW3 feels just like MW2, which isn't a bad thing. Infinity Ward went with the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality on this one. So far the maps seem to be close quarter combat maps. I've only played a handful of games. The interface is the same as MW2, so if you played it you'll be right at home with MW3.

ya that's just the excuse i have read. i think they could have made a new engine in 2 years easily. but they chose not to sadly.
also the frostbite engine was allready in development for need for speed. so they had 2 development teams working on the same engine.

been playing the SP of MW3 all day, after playing BF3 with proper graphics and all the setting maxed on my PC, the difference is night and day. Think of it like PS2 vs PS3 graphics. The current gen of consoles is really holding the industry back at this point.

well I just finished the single player campaign of MW3, took just under 5 hours, the same as BF3. I did enjoy the MW3 SP better then BF3s, yes its totally linear and not very long but it packs a hell of alot of fun in it, and tons of "holy ****!" moments that MW seems to do better than anyone. I was starting to enjoy the BF3 SP but it feels like it should have been a couple hours longer, right when the story starts getting good, it just ends. WTF?
But overall, its hard to be impartial about MW3 after spending all last month playing BF3. MW3 just feels horribly outdated. Im running BF3 on my new PC build with a GTX560 and DirextX11, like I said it almost makes the graphics difference look like PS2 vs. PS3. But its not just the graphics, the sound design in BF3, the cracking of bullets going over your head, the way that guns sound different indoors/outdoors, the sound of wind in trees and water, its just so much more immersive.
Dont think I'll be playing too much of the MW3 multiplayer, played for about an hour and if you sat me down in front of it and told me it was MW2 i dont think I would have noticed a difference, its true, its just a $60 map pack, which is a good or bad thing depending on how you feel about MWs every-man-for-themselves style of gameplay.
I'll keep playing BF3.

You know what I realized while playing both, it's almost ridiculous to compare the 2 as better or worse, I think that's all propaganda, the best way to view it is Simulation styled NBA 2k, versus Arcade styled NBA Jam. I definitely (after playing both for a good amount of time) prefer BF3, and i actually grew up hating simulation styled games, and would grab any and every version of NBA hangtime, and NBA Jam or Showtime, or NBA Street that would come out.
I feel like BF3 caters itself toward a more realistic and calculated approach, a fun exciting, moment creating version of realism and calculation, but just a more team oriented approach.
Whereas I feel that Mw3 lends itself to a more exaggerated and arcade style of game play. It has a great level of detail and precision to it, however I know for me, after Playing BF3 for a few months since its release, and then playing MW3, BF3 just felt like it was a more personable and controlled, precise experience.
Both really are stellar games, and if you could, I would suggest getting and trying out both.

Playing shooters on consoles is like driving an automatic beetle on the ring. You're depriving yourself of so much! You have the medium but you can't enjoy it to it's fullest because you're still playing on a console with inferior hardware and controls.
PC Shooters are above and beyond any console shooter, EVER. Yeah I said it.
