Once again, it’s time to headshot some fools with high-caliber knowledge!

Two of the biggest games releasing this fall are also two of the biggest rivals. Battlefield 1942, from Swedish developer DICE, defined a generation of military shooters for exactly one year before Activision released the first Call of Duty. Now, for the first time ever, the core Battlefield series goes head-to-head against COD’s record-destroying Modern Warfare imprint, and there can be only one!

Fans of both franchises have drawn their lines of death, so it’s up to us to referee. No excuses, panel of experts...choose a side, apply whatever meaningless criteria you like, and back it with all the vague and biased proof you can muster. Who will win the battle royale? Battlefield 3 or Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3?

“Neither.”

- Master Chief, Halo 4

“One lets you shoot hundreds of worthless meatbags, while the other lets you shoot hundreds of worthless meatbags. So really, we all win. Except for the dead meatbags.”

- HK-47, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

“The guns are tiny, and bomb does not explode men into funny little pieces. That is STUPID game!”

- The Heavy, Team Fortress 2

“Which one has the emotionally complex yet charming characters and story? I’ll take that one.”

- Nathan Drake, Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception

“Let’s not kid ourselves, shall we? The lads and I will put a bullet in that bastard without question. That said...I dearly wish I could kill people with a tank. They’ve got fighter jets, and I’m stuck with a bloody inflatable raft."

- Captain Price, Call of Duty 3: Modern Warfare

“This question can only be solved by allowing rabid fans of both games to beat each other savagely in the ring of death. If nothing else, it will shut them up.”

- Ryu, Street Fighter 4

“I stopped counting just how many dozens of studios worked on Modern Warfare 3 once I got to ‘completely gutted remains of Infinity Ward.’ Wanna bet when they put that jigsaw together, at least one of them screwed the pooch?”

- Faith, Mirror’s Edge

“Hey! I have a new game coming out, too! Hello? Anybody? Hello?”

- Link, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

“I’m still pissed that Battlefield’s dedicated multiplayer servers don’t work half the time. Call of Duty never has that problem!”

- Cole MacGrath, Infamous 2

“What do the Swedes know about war? They’re a neutral country. Their knives have corkscrews and nail clippers. My knife has a knife.”

- Sam Fisher, Splinter Cell: Conviction

“I’ll just take the one on the left. Don't much care which it is, 'cause honestly, only a fool says he won't try a thing because he likes another thing too much."

- John Marston, Red Dead Redemption
