Battlefield 4 Will Be Bigger Than CoD: Ghosts

CheatCC says: "Before Battlefield 3 hit shelves in 2011, PC gamers had some pretty major expectations for the game. Call of Duty was obviously at the top of the FPS market, but Electronic Arts planned to topple Activision's flagship, and PC gamers were happy to rally behind the cause. EA's former CEO, John Riccitiello, even needled Activision during a speech at the Ad Age Digital Conference in April of 2011:"

MoH warfighter lurches out of the gutter, says hi.

Neixus4003d ago

moh was never developed to be the cod killer :X unlike bf which has slowly catering to cod players

haggishurler4003d ago

MOH was made to cater to cod players, Battlefield was developed primarily as a good game which is slowly bringing them over.

Kingthrash3604003d ago

im a newly turned bf player myself...it feels deeper and has way more guns. plus I love to snipe and thats just impossible in cod...in excited about it

Garethvk4003d ago

Not if like the last one the PC version is unplayable at launch due to bugs.

Reverent4003d ago

You're not serious are you?

thechosenone4003d ago

It had loads of problems yes but didn't MW2/BlOPS1/MW3/BlOPS2 have their fair share of serious issues/bugs along with the expected poor hit detection/lag problems? BF3 is running pretty smooth these days and unfortunately you can't say the same for any of the COD titles. They're still dealing with those same problems and they always will since they don't offer dedicated servers and they continue to use that outdated engine of theirs.

Garethvk4003d ago

They had bugs but they were at least playable. BF 3 on PC could not even connect and stay in Synch for many during the first week or so it was on the market. To their credit they patched it up, but COD at least for me has been stable enough to play and get online and play with every release. Warfighter also had a similar issue as it could not be played online at launch. Vietnam, Yes it is going back a few had serious bugs at launch.

thechosenone4002d ago (Edited 4002d ago )

"They had bugs but they were at least playable."

That's completely untrue. BlOPS1 had serious issues with lag in the beginning because of their little social feature and constant updating of user profiles and would even do so while a user was in-game, that it made gameplay totally unplayable and it took them MONTHS to figure out what was causing the problem and in the end it was a PC user that found the culprit and forwarded the info to Treyarch.

Both MW3 and BlOPS2 have this little feature called lag compensation and it's been f***ing gameplay ever since.

Next generation, COD has three new foes to contend with, Killzone, BF4, Destiny and all will feature dedicated servers. I don't see that P2P hosting, lag infested garbage surviving the next-gen wave but for me personally it's already dead because I know I'll never buy another COD game again.

Mini05104003d ago

too bad for you. It was playable for me.

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot752d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw250751d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface750d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop751d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno751d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel752d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps751d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge102888751d ago (Edited 751d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k33751d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge102888751d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH751d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

There's a bunch of great shooters on gamepass; both legacy and new.

A recommendation I have is a work in progress preview title called Anacrusis. It's a lot of fun, and has a cool aesthetic.

All Call of Duty Games Ranked from Worst to Best

BLG writes: "Call of Duty has to be the most recognizable franchise on the planet. They didn’t get that way by only making a handful of games.

COD has a long and storied career. Launching as a PC WW2 first-person shooter, Call of Duty has gone through numerous makeovers and been on just about every system. The series has gone through some serious highs and tragic lows. I’ll be looking at each Call of Duty game, the good the bad, and the ugly."

Vanguard better be at the fkn bottom. Can’t believe ppl haven’t eviscerated that game with all its lacking

Minimoth792d ago

Yeah, it's close to the bottom. There are a couple of worse ones. Infinite Warfare definitely deserves its place.

KyRo792d ago

There's a number a lot worse than Vangaurd. It's also a lot better than that car crash Treyarch released before it.

XbladeTeddy792d ago

World at War is my favourite. Didn't know the N-Gage had a Call of Duty.

MadLad791d ago

Same for me.
I was never huge into Call of Duty, but I sunk a lot of time into WaW.
Both the campaign and the multiplayer are on point. Wouldn't mind a remaster.

I quit on CoD for a long while. Though I'm the odd man out that actually really enjoyed the campaign for WWII, being I got it through Humble monthly way back when.

TheLigX792d ago

I really enjoyed the Infinite campaign. Multiplayer... not so much.

Yppupdam791d ago

I agree, The Infinite campaign feels more like it's own thing that they slapped the CoD name on. If it stood on it's own, (sans the CoD name) I think it could have been it's own scifi franchise. And a damn good looking game, to boot. I never bothered to play the multiplayer.

victorMaje792d ago

MW 2019 apart from the desastrous file sizes is way better than AW.

MadLad791d ago

That was one I grabbed for Playstation because it pretty much just came out during the Redbox purge of videogames, and I got it for dirt cheap.

It was great coming home to an update every night, and watching one game eat up almost half my console's memory.

Amplitude791d ago (Edited 791d ago )

Will get disagrees but Infinite Warfare campaign was really good. Decent story, set pieces were amazing and if it didn't have the CoD game on it I'm sure people would have been more into it. Advanced Warfare was alright too. Titanfall 2 was just 1000 times better than both but I enjoyed them for their campaigns. I literally barely gaf about the story I'm in it for the set pieces and 5 hours of being stoned watching cool nonsense happen if I'm in the mood to play a CoD campaign. If I'm looking for a deep plot I'm gonna go somewhere else.
Ghosts was the worst story-wise though lol that cliffhanger ending was so bs.

Also MW 2019 was sick and is one of the best CoD games in yeeeears not sure why it's so low on this dude's list. Campaign was great, multiplayer was great and Warzone was fun for a while. Over it now but shrugs.

Beat the Vanguard campaign too but I can't even remember a single thing about it other than that it felt like it was 45 minutes long. Might be the most forgettable thing I've ever played lol just fully erased from my brain
