After all of the debates, arguments, and sales numbers, it's officially be decided. Well, that's if you consider Spike's Video Game Awards official.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 was officially crowned as the "Best Shooter", beating out DICE's Battlefield 3. Modern Warfare 3 also beat out RAGE and Gears of War 3.
Activision graciously accepted the award…sort of.
"This is amazing; especially in a year like this when we have so many good games coming out this year, especially mulitplayer games, like Gears of War."
I found it a little tacky that they didn't even mention the biggest rival this year, Battlefield 3. But I guess when you encourage trash talking in your trailers this type of thing should be expected.
While Activision's Modern Warfare 3 already won the sales battle, it's still easy to argue that Battlefield 3 could be the better shooter, and I'm sure the argument will continue to rage on. What do you think? Did the right game win?
