LOS ANGELES – Beyond the flashing flatscreens, blaring speakers and "booth babes" at last week's Electronic Entertainment Expo, there was no bigger showdown at the video game industry's annual extravaganza than the one brewing between "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3" from Activision Blizzard Inc. and "Battlefield 3" from Electronic Arts Inc.
For the past four years, Activision reigned supreme with its "Call of Duty" franchise, breaking game sales records and earning critical acclaim for its polished shoot-'em-up realism. The Santa Monica, Calif.-based publisher may finally have a worthy adversary when EA releases "Battlefield 3" on Oct. 25, two weeks before "Modern Warfare 3" comes out Nov. 8.
