But
who is the best? That’s what I will try to find out…
Call
Of duty and Battlefield both point out a bit to the same thing…
there’s a war, you’re a soldier…
(I
can NOT compare Black Ops II to Battlefield 3 because they were not
created in the same year… this would have made sense if Battlefield
4 had come out but it hasn’t)
So
let’s start the challenge shall we?
First
off in graphics
we
have on one side Call of duty, which has always had ok quality. Of
course, there is no comparison possible with Battlefield 3 which has
top quality graphics. The maps are also bigger and better in
Battlefield than in Call Of Duty.
Then
we have the single
player campaign.
It
may be the only place where CoD actually beats Battlefield… Even
though what you get in CoD resumes to “Slaughtering
civilians in an airport, blowing up a little girl, and setting New
York City under terrorist siege” (IGN) gamers obviously
prefer that to the normal Battlefield
experience.
Then
we have the interesting stuff: The multiplayer experience.
There
is so much to say on this but not much place to write so I’ll make
it short.
We
all know that instead of innovating their game CoD, Activison forces
players to buy completely unimportant patches and results in the
biggest online rip-off experience after World of Warcraft. I mean how
much money will you waste to get an update that changes the main menu
picture?
EA
game’s Battlefield is innovative, has large maps and a better than
ever gameplay that allows everyone to enjoy the game. You will need
to pay for extra maps only and not useless updates.
The gameplay in
CoD resumes to “I have a better level than you and a machine gun
that can one shot you“ Level scaling is a HUGE problem in ALL FPS.
The only difference is that in CoD you can have 10 people who’re
going to shoot at you and eventually ends out in you winning because
you have a weapon that is only unlocked level 45 blabla and you’ve
played the game for two years…
This
should NOT be possible. It isn’t in Battlefield anyways. In this
game your kills all depend on your skills. Can you pilot a helicopter
well? Do you know how to shoot from a tank or from a mounted machine
gun? Those are the things that will determine whether or not you will
play well on Battlefield. (of course you wouldn’t think that CoD
would have implemented vehicles by now). Apart from that the gameplay
stays pretty much the same: shoot or be shot.
Finally,
there is the audience that plays the game that is important too.
Generally
what you get is: On CoD, there are only kiddies who don’t know
where to waste their pocket money, on Battlefield, there are more
mature players who will work together as a team and actually have
skill instead of being cannon fodders.
Conclusion:
stop wasting your time –and money- on Call Of Duty.
