Bruh no points for some of the best CODs, even as a Battlefield fan that’s cruel

[@dd-bq3xv]

mw2 is literally the definition of CULT

[@alexistecca408]

The disrespect on cod 1&2

[@vortexrayds6356]

Yea even as a battlefield fan I did enjoy BO2 it’s my favorite cod game

[@thegoat1467]

Yeah but one year apart isnt much of a difference

[@Notasalamanda]

Should have compared each BF to the two coresponding MW games.

[@cattameme]

Most people who hated Hardline, never played Hardline. It was great. It was awesome, and so fun. Community Servers. Admins, no hackers. It was great.

[@PattycakesGG]

I personally enjoyed it a lot

[@VaggosHoplite]

Yeah bro , even if i prefer the military shooters I have over 900 hours on Hardline. I loved the multiplayer. About the campaign though , I finished it of course, it had some above average moments but nothing really interesting overall.

@@VaggosHoplite yeah lets create hardline in PORTAL

[@Joshbob567]

hardline was always one of my favs

[@flaksi6661]

Even the little time i played Hardline i loved every second of it. If they didn't name it battlefield the game would've done much better.

[@alamo134]

For me, storywise, it's CoD. While gameplay, I prefer BF. While I still have a clear memories about comrade stuff, the Mason's number, Shepherd, etc, I have fun time to learn how to use snipers in BF2, how chaotic maps can be, resurrection ritual that is done by Medic (jeez, my favorite class) and they're funnier than thinking how I could get killed in CoD in the strangest way possible. For me, BF stories doesn't give a mark too much, at least until BF1.

[@masonirwin1057]

That’s because battlefield didn’t focus on story

[@mastrrman144]

I liked the bf3 campaign and with bf1 i would put it as the best. About 6 hours long, longer than most, fun missions with tanks airplanes and both large and urban warfare. It also had an interesting story but it was dragged back with bad characters.

[@alamo134]

@@mastrrman144 Yeah... But I would give mark for BF campaigns for indirectly introduce players to MP by learning on what BF games could provide in MP.

[@paytonputteet4446]

Not gonna lie I’m not the biggest fan of the battlefield war stories style. It was okay but I just didn’t care for it. I understand having different characters to play as but I’d rather it be like on the classic modern warfare games where you just go from one character to the other

[@alamo134]

@@paytonputteet4446 well, me too. But at least it delivers "training" before jumping into MP. While I am not fan of MW usage of silent protagonists (just not my cup of tea), the stories are quite stellar. And one thing that differs the usage of many MC between and BF is how they're connected. BF has MCs that aren't connected each other. While MW's MCs have it, from brother-in-arm to connected to a distant one but still connected in one timeline that has cause-and-effect events.

[@jeeplord4067]

I don’t think dice will ever be able to top what they did with bf1. That game was just truly amazing. Really sucks that bf1 2016 graphics on older gen consoles is still better than 2021 bf2042 graphics on new console. It was way too rushed

[@birbalsaha3539]

That game is a masterpiece

[@saucevibe8163]

@@birbalsaha3539 it's a shame we'll never experience such a game

[@Remy-eu8fm]

The weird thing is why did battlefield copy cod with being rushy af like dice always used to take there time with battlefield games and they would take about 4 to 5 years but bf 2042 was wayy to big to be rushed like that 4 years was not enough to make a masterpiece like 2042 could have been if they just sticked with bf 3 and 4 multiplayer the 4 different classes and didnt add specialists and if they atleast gave us a campaign that continued from bf 4 it would have been amazing they needed like 1 or 2 years more and they could have made a really good battlefield game but it is what it is now we wait 5 years for the next one

[@GG-ee5hm]

​@@Remy-eu8fm The staff at Dice is for the most part fairly new. A big chunk of veteran developers left during 2042 development. And there's the fact that Dice is under EA. And in EA nobody knows any-fucking-thing about videogames.

BFBC2 is better than BF1

[@thepeps101]

11:30 oh wow black ops vs Bad company 2. That is a really hard choise... Probably BC2 for me, less frustrating than some of the shit in Black ops, still one of my favorite call of duties though.

[@aaronpelican6998]

I honestly feel like black ops vs bad company 2 breaks down to your multiplayer game preference. I prefer battlefields multiplayer with the larger scale battles and vehicles so I would obviously play BC2 over black ops. But I did love black ops

[@bljet4388]

2010 was really a crash of titans

[@nappy5853]

Holy i loved both soo much as a kid , when i was 9 i had both and i played cod more because i could only play campaign and it was more fun in bo even though i also played tons of bf campaign.i remember how i cried when bo was stolen and how i went on to play bfbc2 and eventually, bfbc2 online.I had over 2000 hours when i decided to buy bo again and try online , i played a few hundred hours but i eventually went back to bfbc2 , i currently play bfbc2 and only bfbc2 and i got almost 6000 hours in multiplayer. I thought because i ayed so much cod when i was younger i would for sure enjoy it more but strangley i dont

[@swector_unit4257]

​@@nappy5853Sry im late but I've also had the same feeling like you do but for any COD and BF game the campaign for COD is unbeatable when choosing but when it comes to the multiplayer BF had the upper hand because like really who doesn't like seeing your teammate in a tank taking all of the rounds while you stay behind it.

Also I would say mw3 is not in any cod fan's top 3. I don't think you understand cod well enough but I can appreciate the attempt of the video and was still entertained.

[@masonirwin1057]

The video wasn’t an attempt it was correct. You are putting the cod formula(same game every year) against battlefield which produces some of the best games. It may have slowed down recently but so has cod.

Fun fact: I love the first BF games, because they have offline bots, so you can still play them today even without internet. In modern day, the exact opposite is the case. While BF got rid of a bot mode with Bad Company in 2008, COD first introduced them in Black Ops in 2010. From there on every COD included the option to play against bots. The latest Battlefield 2042 returned to having bots, but the whole game (even singleplayer) requires to be online.

The Call of Duty Franchise may win the war or attrition. They have more resources which allow them to maintain annual releases.

While I agree with most of your opinions I gotta say the structure of this video was very flawed. Call of duty is a yearly series while battlefield isn’t, so you should have compared the current cod to the current battlefield, not giving it no points becase there was no new battlefield. I don’t mean to hate, I like your other videos I just felt like this one was not set up very well.

[@PattycakesGG]

It was tough to choose because if we did give free points CoD won automatically simply from all of the years where there wasn’t a BF game. You’re saying a new CoD would face the same BF game multiple years in a row? Interesting idea but idk about that either… it’s a tough concept to do fairly with the mismatch in release volume

[@Phoenixkovacs]

@@PattycakesGG I think that represents the gaming landscape more accurately. At least for me personally, I get cod games sometimes and battlefield games every time so I always compare the new cod to the current battlefield to see if it’s worth a buy or not. Obviously they are vastly different experiences but I usually don’t play them both at once.
