Without a doubt these are the two biggest games coming out this fall, and will undoubtedly have the highest sales numbers. Incidentally, they are also distributed by two companies who not only rival with each other for the biggest publisher title but also rivals for the biggest douchebag title. I loved Modern Warfare and thought Modern Warfare 2 was great if you could overlook nonsense story, but at the same time many an hour has been spent on my friend's PS3 playing Battlefield Bad Company and Battlefield 2. If I had the money I would have undoubtedly bought both. This year I'll probably only have enough time/money to buy one, and I'm very torn as to which I should get.
I also have another problem, both of the companies publishing these games are chalk full of dumbasses and douchebags. I hate both with a fiery passion - I generally refuse to buy any product that bares Activisions logo and the only reason I bought Mass Effect was because my blatant Bioware fanboyism overrides any hate for anything attatched to Bioware's name. Problem here is, I don't love Infinity Ward or DICE enough to overlook the publisher I'm forking money to, but I still want a good, frantic, mindless shooty time sink to occupy my dreaded between-sport time that fills the winter months.
TL;DR - Which big name shooter will you buy come this fall, which one should I buy and why? Or should I just say fuck them both all together and shovel even more hours into Skyrim which I will buy even if it punches me in the face upon removing it from the wrap?
