The showdown is heating up for video games. The biggest is the back-to-back release of the two best-known war games ever with this week’s release of BF3 and MW3 two weeks later. Who will win the $5 billion first-person shooter game market? BattleField 3 appears to have more firepower armed with its new Frostbite 2 technology used to create the cinematically fluid graphics. Buzz has been building about both games.

BattleField3 – EA (10.25.11)

This Online multi player shooter comes out Oct 25th.

Be prepared for full-scale war with Battlefield 3, the third major evolution of the long-running online battle franchise. Using the power of Frostbite 2 game engine technology, Battlefield 3 delivers superior visual quality, a grand sense of scale, massive destruction, dynamic audio and incredibly lifelike character animations. As bullets whiz by, walls crumble, and explosions throw you to the ground, the battlefield feels more alive and interactive than ever before.

In Battlefield 3, players step into the role of elite U.S. Marines where they will experience heart-pounding single player missions and competitive multiplayer actions ranging across diverse locations around the globe including Europe, Middle East and North America. Get ready for the 64 players multiplayer game and it’s huge destructible environment.

Modern Warfare 3 – Activation (11.08.11)

On November 8th the best-selling franchise in video game history is back. Will Modern Warfare 3 meet and exceed our expectations?

The campaign will deliver unique action oriented moments, and a linear gaming experience.

Modern Warfare 3 will feature a completely new game mode this year called “Spec Ops Survival Mode”. Every single map will be able to be played in Survival Mode. Survival mode is essentially a game mode where endless waves of enemies will attack you similar to Black Ops vs. Zombies. Modern Warfare 3′s survival mode looks promising. While we can still expect the same action packed campaign and robust multiplayer, survival mode looks to be a great new addition to add variety. The multiplayer is sure to be the hottest ever.
