Modern Warfare 3 may have broken single-day sales records, but the superior FPS is putting up an epic fight. According to GameInformer, Battlefield 3 has already sold 8 million copies while having shipped a total of 12 million. That’s very impressive for a game directly competing against a FPS that millions of people play just because their friends do.

Battlefield 3 has superior gameplay, a vastly superior engine and graphics, and a web interface that’s free and actually works (unlike Call of Duty’s $50 service). The choice for 2011 FPS domination is clear, and unless you’re a mindless sheep who only buys what everyone else does; you should really try out Battlefield 3.
