COD
small maps
bad graphics
run, shoot, die, rinse and repeat
expensive DLC (not much to add)
doesn't satisfy
full of 5 year olds
Battlefield
huge maps
awesome graphics
drive vehicles, shoot, play tactically, troll snipers, never get bored
expensive DLC (they add tons and tons of new stuff)
Battlefield does satisfy a lot
for mature players
My view may be a little biased but i did play COD, a lot! Before i discovered battlefield, i didn't know what good, tactical, meaningful and entertaining gameplay was like. Battlefield changed it all, i learnt that i shouldn't pay 60pounds every year for a game which only adds new maps and killstreaks.
Could you guys please give me your views on that topic? I want to know which game you prefer and why... Thx

It's not good to compare either game. They are both FPS's, but they are two
completely different games. COD is an arcade-shooter, that is quick and fast paced.
Battlefield involves strategy and thoughtful planning; to extent. Just because they
are in the same genre means that you can compare both of them.
Both are really fun if played with the right mentality.

Thank you though for your reply much appreciated.

Oh, most definitely. COD in my opinion is a bit of a rush in the sense of gameplay and feeling. I have to give credit to it.
Battlefield, you can take a relaxed approach to the game while still playing in a rushed fashion.
Both games are different, they appeal to different crowds of people. I've played COD since COD 1 and have been playing online since COD 2 ... (I did it on PC)
Battlefield has a feeling of more realism, it's something that you have to appreciate and get used to. I think that's part of why it appeals to more adults and older teens because we like realism.
COD lacks that aspect in many degrees. It though does follow the idea of war and creates an easy to play bases that almost anyone, young and old, can grasp onto. Something that Battlefield actually lacks.
I feel though that COD just is too rushed and has too many problems with it. If they would create larger maps or maps with more vertical aspects to compensate for the small size of maps, that would fix some of the issues. Respawning needs to be fixed. Easy solution, 2-3 areas where players can spawn onto where enemies can't run into and players only spawn there at random if an enemy is near or at a middle spawn point int the game already.
That would kill most spawn camping and fix the whole, spawn in front of enemies and die issue.
The storyline is great for COD games, I love them. Battlefield 3, I haven't finished it still; an I've owned it for several months.. I have to say it just hasn't grasped my interest.

I have switched back to Battlefield out of fear of COD being hacked to shit.. I have seen a couple youtube videos which kind of bugged me... I feel that because the COD community is often younger, if the method goes public and is easy, it will get out of control.

Completely agree... However, COD is a zombie only game for me. I prefer Battlefield.

Battlefields story line was okay, the previous two Battlefields were much better off topic however Battlfiel does have stunning graphics as it uses the frostbite engine.
It is all well and good trashing, trolling, sh''itting on a game but if you want to define games, for what they are you have to be
technical as games are much more than just '' Popping the disk into a console or PC'' game developers design a game for specific
audiences also for specific reasons which I doubt most of the people in this thread know anything about unless they are game developers !.
Call of Duty revolutionized ''FPS'' First Person Shooters, for the current gen'' generation consoles from the 64 bit consoles ''ps2''
it improved vastly on many issues from prior console shooters in terms of ''Frame Rate association'' to kill streaks, an abundance
of new implementations.
If you really want to go in dept I could say well ''
OOM'' Thee very first ''FPS'' started it all and we should all look at it then judge
the modern ''FPS' games today but you can't.
It was made for different reasons play styles, as well as gamer's, threads like this just evolve into mindless ''NO COD IS BETTER !'' ........ '' NO BF IS BETTER STFU '' and actually have no meaning at all as the person who started the thread intended for his own personal entertainment as it just gets members here on NGU frustrated and start flaming each other.
They are two very different games COD'' , ''BF'' !!!!!..........
Although I will admit in recent time's COD is lacking in any originality but that happens with all games as they mature and die.
o if yOu bothered to read this thank you and if you FLAME I will not reply. , )
PEACE OUT.

Both games have lowered the overall skill ceiling to get more players. The result is a semi annoying game for good players.
COD annoys me due to the very low skill ceiling and gap. It can however be fun.
BF on the other hand is fun but you can see they lowered the skill ceiling with BF3 trying to get more players.
Do think it a worthless trying to do so, bad players don't get good by you lowing the bar. They get good by learning, COD has it own market BF should not bother to touch it. Let people get bored and move on to a harder game simple.
I like BF more as a series due to doing something different not being a TDM style shooter on it own. Don't like how both games have random things to equal skill it annoying.
BF has a sort of feeling that COD series can't have due it design.

It's all opinion.
My opinion I love both personally but COD I think is really dying. They barely change anything (we might see some changes on the new activision game) so the replay-ability is not very high. Adding camo's to buy is definitely not enough and I was glad to see the new peacekeeper because that is what everyone wants to see (new content besides maps).
I have been playing COD since COD1
I have been playing Battlefield since Battlefield 2. Not Bad Company 2, just Battlefield 2.
I think that they did an excellent job releasing content with battlefield 3, the premium was a great idea for people who were interested in all of the map packs, similar to a season pass, but gave you in game weapons you can use.
I really got bored of call of duty black ops 2 within the first weekend. I bought hardened edition for PS3 and stayed up no life-ing with some friends for the first weekend upon release and got to fourth prestige. After that I had no interest in it when the other call of duty's were like crack, I could not stop playing, but like I said earlier. It is just the same thing res-skinned. It doesn't mean it's not fun at first. But it definitely is not fun for a veteran player like me.
Battlefield 3 I am still playing today, and having a bunch of fun with the end game DLC.
