Battlefield 3 vs Call of Duty

Talking about CoD in general sorry.

Lol hard to omment on game you haven't played before isn't it.

I've also played the new one for a few games (slightly laggy) but besides that I was commenting on the newer call of duty games, like black ops or modern warfare 2. The thread doesn't necessarily specify which game and most people that have played the previous game in the series will play the newer ones and thus use the same or very similar tactics and as has been my experience in just about every S&D and domination game modes camping has been the prominent tactic and I have seen very little teamwork as opposed to battlefield games where most games I play in will have a larger team component and is very reliant on positioning and team composition rather than firepower. Except in bad company which I didn't think was that good anyway. And based on the styles of the games from both series the styles of gameplay that currently exist will continue to be prominent in any new titles. I'm not saying that its necessarily a bad thing to have a game that doesn't rely much on teamwork, as people in general suck at working with each other, but the quality of the game depends on how you like the style and how you're feeling at the time. I myself prefer battlefield as I probably will with future titles. And sometimes I like playing Call of Duty more.

Must of been your connection, because I never have any lag when I play. Also, it depends who you play with that makes the strategy, in mw2 I played game battles and we used a lot of teamwork for search. Can't speak for Dom, cause I hardly play it. But it's easy to assume that it would work the sameway. Back when I played cal-I for cod1 it was all team work, from where to go and what gun to use. I've said it 100 times before, the players make the game.

You're right that someone can enjoy different styles of gameplay, but the style you are describing can be found in both games, you can still like one over the other, but don't say the other game doesn't have it.

Its much more prominent in one game than the other. At least in my experience. And yes it was my connection. :p

The thing about BF3 and MW3 is that they are both very entertaining games, but in totally different ways.

For instance, when I have less than an hour of free time I can do lots in MW3 whilst in BF3 I feel as if you need to have a lot more time to play.

Also MW3 is great when you play on your own and just want some quick kills, where as BF3 is awesome if you play with some mates in a team and plan out the particular game.

So both games are very entertaining but they can be played under different circumstances if you get me :)

Battlefield is better because it has more stuff than mw3 cant do you can actually respawn where ever you are and the graphics are better on pc rhen mw3

Can you give examples of what BF3 has that CoD doesn't? Besides the obvious, vehicles, destructible terrain, squads. And I'm sure there's a good deal CoD has that BF3 doesnt

Battlefield 3 shows effort. It clearly shows that the staff over at EA DICE have an ambition and a lot of care to make that push to have their games look like a work of art. Battlefield 3 is a perfect example of innovation in the games industry, because DICE are constantly improving their franchise year by year, whilst keeping the overall feel of the game exactly the same; somehow they make it feel fresh with each release.

Activision, their developers, and Call of Duty on the other hand... The game is stale. Same thing year after year, with no creativity or effort evident in their productions. There hasn't been a ground breaking Call of Duty game since Call of Duty 4, fact. Another fun fact for you; they haven't changed the graphics engine they use since before Call of Duty 2. Seriously. Lazy.

Sure, you may argue that point with the sales of the Call of Duty games since then, but all that is bull****. Sales don't mask the fact that a game is stale. People only buy Call of Duty now because of the brand name. When Call of Duty games show some innovation again, then I will be interested. Until then, the games may as well not exist.

So what has DICE added to BF3 that wasn't in previous games?
