The war between Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3 is heating up, with both sides throwing rocks at each other at almost any chance. But that’s not the case for Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling, who’s the company’s Director of Communications and Community Manager. Bowling has been the face of Modern Warfare over the past few years, and he had a few interesting things to say about the heating battle between Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3. In an interview with Eurogamer, Bowling said,
“I’m very aware that we have two very different audiences and we’re delivering two very good and very different experiences, so I think the baiting is built up more of these two really passionate communities – and they should be really passionate about their individual games – getting at each other, and that’s been happening forever”
When asked whether he was going to buy Battlefield 3, he replied “I am".
While developers DICE and Infinity Ward have been somewhat diplomatic about their upcoming showdown, their publishers, EA and Activision, have had virtually none of that. EA CEO famously said that Battlefield 3 is designed to take down Modern Warfare 3, while Activision’s Bobby Kotick has criticized Battlefield 3 for for only showing the PC version so far.
TL;DR even the MW3 designers are buying BF3.
