What does it really mean if BF3 beats COD? This article on gamespy (http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/battlefield-3/1160106p1.html) got me thinking about what would happen if BF3 beat out the next COD and became top dog. As much as im rooting for my team (BF3) to win especially since I hate COD I believe BF3 winning this will hurt the entire franchise.
For example, COD 1 was amazing but it didn't really get mass market appeal until it went to console (COD2) Than COD3 wasn't for PC, and COD 4, 5, and 6 were extremely hyped console made ports. I know that we all know this already but now what does it mean for the BF franchise.
If BF3 beats out COD than it will not only take top dog, but have to maintain it. What does that mean for us? I'm sure it will mean that in general the franchise will go the same route as COD did or else COD will once again take top dog the following year. I'm sure BF3 will takes CODs ad approach to hype the game and im sure BF3 is an insanely good game but what happens when they make a COD game in 1 year, what will BF do to counter it...because in order to remain top dog it will have to counter it.
Rushed games? Smaller less focuses games? COD:BC 3,4,5, and 6? in 4 years? It makes me wonder, and concerned for my favorite franchise.
What do you guys think, inevitable, or worse case scenario?
