I think COD plays at 1080, 60 fps.

Not sure though.

BF3 will be the most over-hyped game evar

I'm not overly concerned by this.

I'm leaning towards not purchasing the latest round of military FPS games, but slightly lower frames per second or 720p won't greatly influence my decision if I decide to purchase.

I don't give a shite about graphics so long as they're passable.

This is quite possibly be the worst reason for blacklisting a game. BF3 will pwn.

can I get a source? I don't wanna google. and 30 FPS = cinematic look. 60 FPS = video (which is what COD needs). framerate doesn't mean anything. but that 720p is kind of a bummer. don't think it'll be a problem though. most people can't even tell the difference between 720p an 1080p. also, the graphics are better on BF3, but the resolution is higher on COD. call this one a push.

Spin it how ever you'd like but it is a step down in frame rate = choppy & clunky and a step down in resolutuon which is always great right?

I think this is because cod needs 60 fps for the nonstop action it causes. I read it on IGN or something--there's a good reason for them going 30.

I hope your right. But it would stand to reason that there would be more action on a game with a shitton of vehicles and a constantly moving map that is supposed to be huge with destructible shite.huh?

Atleast cod rewards u with a killstrwak to operate a vehicle. Could u imagine how irritating it would be to have a chopper gunner or jet in the air the whole game? And don't get me started on all the tanks and humvees with a 50 cal. If anything the reason I prefer cod over bf is because the guns are a lot better to use and its less of a cluster frick

So 2 Harriers, an AC-130, and a CG up in the air at the same time isn't a cluster frick??

The CoD series has ruined first person shooters. I'm getting Battlefield as a longtime fan (Been playing them since Battlefield 1942) and out of sheer spit for the CoD games.

Therefore the game could run at 15 fps and only be played with a Coaxial video cable and I would get it over CoD.

Besides the game looks great on console anyways.

the human eye can only process 30 fps so more than that isn't needed.

Beyond measurement and bragging rights, such exercises do have practical bearing in some cases. A certain amount of discarded “headroom” frames are beneficial for the elimination of uneven (“choppy” or “jumpy”) output, and to prevent FPS from plummeting during the intense sequences when players need smooth feedback most.

60 fps is a happy area.

This site basically claims that black ops isn't even 720p quality, it is just upconverted to 720p/1080p.

cod can run at 60 fps because it does not have the scale of bf, destruction, or vehicles.

I enjoy bf and cod but to say 30 fps and 720p is a deal breaker without even waiting for a beta is ridiculous.
