Ive been playing call of duty since the first one, however now that infinity ward has lost most of the original makers and activision turned over the rights to treyarch, modern warfare 3 just wont be the same or better then any previous MW game. Id have to say since Battlefield 3 has actually picked up the original call of duty makers with them, yes DICE and Veteren COD makers are making BF3. I will be getting the battlefield game, its raising the bar on new games to come out for 2012.
