Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling turned up on Reddit the other day for a bit of Q&A, and while the discussion was inevitably overwhelmed by a whole lot of stupid arguing about this, that, and everything else in between, he dropped this instantly quotable quote on the hot hot hot topic of Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3:
“You should be buying both because they both will be stellar games. I refuse to say one ill word of Battlefield 3 or DICE because I think they’re both fantastic and am good friends with several of the guys on the team.
“If you are a shooter fan, they are both fantastic games to own because of one reason. They are different.
“Each do their own thing in a fantastic way and it is refreshing to have the option for both styles.”
So there you have it. If you like pretending to shoot guns on your tellybox, why not consider buying BOTH games? It seems so obvious now.
Also, Modern Warfare 3 is totally going to feature dinosaurs and turtles*.
“The severe and insulting lack of dinosaurs in Modern Warfare 2 was embarrassing and a black mark on my career,” admits Bowling, when asked about it. “The addition of dinosaurs and turtles (the modern day dinosaur) are a high priority on the feature list of Modern Warfare 3.”
*But probably not, actually. Which does seem rather a shame.
