... it looks OK. So does Battlefield 3. Both look OK, average, decent, etc. Still, compare this to previous E3 demos: the Modern Warfare 2 demo had the snowmobile section, Uncharted 2 had the oh-god-I'm-in-a-building-that's-currently-collapsing moment, and Black Ops had the kickass helicopter level. Here, we get a submarine infiltration, which reminds me heavily of the end of "Redemption" in Black Ops. Standard stuff.

To be fair, Battlefield 3 has also failed to wow me. Everyone's talking about how spectacular it is, but what have we seen of it? Running down an alley, a quick time event, and a standard gun battle. Granted, the ending with the building collapsing on top of you is neat, but nothing really amazing.

So, if I had only sixty dollars to spend on games in November, I'd probably get Uncharted 3. Still, I might rent both MW3 and Battlefield 3.
