EA/Dice have been playing dirty pool as of late, this includes a picture which was taken pre-Gamecon opening of the MW3 display empty compared to a during show line for BF3 (with added filters to make it look like its around the same time, Gamecon is actually pretty well lit) and a comment how EA CEO John Riccitiello hopes Call of Duty would "rot from the core." Eric Hirshberg from Actisivion chose to fire back in a more mature manner, saying how the mudslinging was bad for the industry as a whole and he wishes everyone including his competitors luck, that the gaming industry can keep going as strong as it has into the holiday season. There is a video of the speech in the link above.
COD and BF are two polarizing games and that is good, they both represent something different. This is not a reason to slam the other, but more of a reason to appreciate the other.
