I refuse to say one ill word of Battlefield 3 or DICE because I think they&#8217;re both fantastic and am good friends with several of the guys on the team.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;If you are a shooter fan, they are both fantastic games to own because of one reason. They are different.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Each do their own thing in a fantastic way and it is refreshing to have the option for both styles.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Also, Modern Warfare 3 is totally going to feature dinosaurs and turtles*.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The severe and insulting lack of dinosaurs in Modern Warfare 2 was embarrassing and a black mark on my career,&rdquo; admits Bowling, when asked about it. &ldquo;The addition of dinosaurs and turtles (the modern day dinosaur) are a high priority on the feature list of Modern Warfare 3.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">*But probably not, actually.
