MW3 vs BF3

[Helix]

I've got a dilemma here. My friend who is taking a gap year in Canada, has generously offered to buy me either MW3 or BF3 from steam.

I bought my gaming laptop 2 years ago, specs are as follows:

Intel Core 2 Due @2.53GHz
4GB RAM
GeForce 9600M GS 512mb DDR2

It basically scrapes the minimum requirements for BF3, and comfortably in MW3.

Ideally I'd prefer BF3-but not sure if it will be worth it with my specs?
I do love the MW series. Played MW online a few years back.

Please advise!

BF3 Will eat your CPU and SPit it right back out at you
Core 2 Duo CPu's do not at this time cope well with BF3 unless paired with exceptionally strong GPU's
I'm afraid you'll have to opt for MW3 or Upgrade

Your friend wont be able to buy you BF3 from steam. :/

Ah yes. I forgot about the BF3 not being on steam. He was ordering a prepaid credit card with a fixed amount, wonder how he plans on ordering both of them? (there was some extra credit for me!) MW3 it is then

I can buy BF3 on Origin for R290 if anyone is interested PM me...will need to login with your account though... I am sitting in India for work, so they pickup my Indian IP.
Did it for my brother and he is A-away playing BF3

@Poll: Where is the 'both' option

Haha, Well my friend is only buying one game for me. So its a choice between the two!

Thanks for all the opinions all!

yeah bud i have core 2 duo laptop also , running cpu at 3ghz, makes bf3 just just playable, some areas not, but i do have gtx 260m, so i would go for mw3, as bf3 will lagg badly on that laptop
