settle like this:


 * Developers: Essentially gamers, they love video-games to the point of choosing the job of making them. I believe most of them may have started playing FPS on brilliant games like Half-Life, Quake, Wolfenstein or Doom. They have their good mind-sets, and they love playing each others' games. When Episode II of the Fault Line demos of Battlefield 3 back in March, Treyarch said publicly that BF3 was beautiful and IW show some impressions, admitting that MW3 wouldn't be advanced, and Bowling said that he was intending to buy BF3 in October.

However....


 * Publishers: Businessmen. They contract developers and show them the kind of games to make. They are the advertisement masters. I wouldn't be surprised if Activision and EA in fact talked about this and planned this flame war months ago, to create competition between one and other, and to even create the now popular mind-set of "Fanboys buy one. Gamers by both." DICE and IW have nothing to do with this category (except Schofield, who is dummy enough to say MW3 will be better because it has 60 FPS rather than 30, which is ironic as the human eye only sees a max of 24 FPS).

They end up with different opinions on to the public.
