Battlefield 4 vs Call of Duty Ghosts: Feature Smackdown

When it comes to multi-platform first person shooters there are two names that take over the industry - Battlefield and Call of Duty. Often the center of fanboy debates that are as heated as the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 forum threads, both games have been duking it out for years now with each one trying to one up the other in an effort to claim favoritism from gamers.

In this article we take a look at some of the many features offered by each game and look at how each individual feature enhances its respective game.

"Levolution: Players can expect to see a truly dynamic game that has their environments change around them in real-time."

That has always been huge with BF. This is what makes each game very different and not repetitive months down the road. The very surreal feeling of taking cover in a building. Then all of a sudden the loud boom as a tank blows the side of the building out where you are standing. Nothing is more real then that feeling you get like OH SH*T! That's what brings you into a game.

for me its always been the diversity that draws me in.

can sit in a jet and rip around the map, jump in a tank and tear people up.. run around on foot..

if im not doing well... i'll just focus on capping flags..or shooting down aircraft (that always pisses people off..lol)

there is always something to do.... it always amazed me how if i go 10-5 in a cod game, im kinda pissed because it was a slow game etc....

but i can spend 20min in a bf3 game... go 1-0 and have a blast the entire time..

Matt6663896d ago

Well that's a no brainier, BF is way better then COD no matter how you look at it.

n4rc3896d ago

cod has its benefits... the fast paced chaotic action appeals to people..

its why operation metro was the most played map... gets everyone in tight at B and you can get lots of action..

now cod sucks lately... but the mechanics that made it popular are still there...kinda.. they've sped the game up waaaay too much at this point..

thats why titanfall looks so promising... its the cod we should have had after mw2

Funantic13896d ago

COD looks more fun cause it's non-stop fast action. One thing I realized is that COD looks more zoomed up. The characters look bigger so I don't have to strain my eyes. My TV is a medium size 47' inch so I shouldn't have to strain my eyes. If you notice when you bring the scope up to your face the enemy looks bigger in COD. You actually have the scope look like it's touching your eye. In BF4 when you zoom in it's like it's not zoomed in enough. But BF4 does look pretty decent. So I'll give it a try too, since BF4 is more for campers like myself. So the most anticipated FPS I'm look for is Titanfall first, then COD, and BF4 last. I'll buy all 3 but only buy the season pass for Titanfall and COD. There are no other FPS I'm considering at all.

COD-Fish AI
BF4-Everything else

Just kidding. Both have its own things going on.

Tho I prefer BF4 a lot more.

KiLLeRCLaM3896d ago

look how much Battlefield series has evolved over the years compared to Call of Duty franchise. Battlefield is KING!! I used to love COD until after World at War.. best game for me from the COD games..Battlefield 4 looks like HOLY SHIT I'm never leaving my lazy boy <3 PC and my 60" plasa 3D tv ^^

DoomeDx3896d ago

If you ask me..Battlefield went downhill after BF3

BF2 is where its at.

STK0263896d ago

Why is there a comparison between the two? One is meant to be a 64 players game with vehicles in large maps (although there are smaller maps with a lower player count) while the other is a fast paced arcade shooter. The fact that they are both set in a modern setting and feature guns should not warrant such comparisons; people who like CoD will continue to do so, and people who like BF will also continue to do so. This endless debate about which game is better (when it comes to providing fun) has been going on for years, and no matter how technologically advanced Battlefield gets, it doesn't mean it will make it more fun than another game that stands in another category altogether. One is a twitch shooter, the other isn't; some people like that, others don't.

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.

-Foxtrot757d ago

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

gamesftw250756d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface756d ago

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

PapaBop756d 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.

Inverno756d 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

XiNatsuDragnel757d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps756d ago

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

Pudge102888756d ago (Edited 756d 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

pr33k33756d 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.

Pudge102888756d 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_D3TH756d 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

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

Minimoth797d ago

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

KyRo797d ago

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

XbladeTeddy797d ago

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

MadLad797d 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.

TheLigX797d ago

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

Yppupdam797d 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.

victorMaje797d ago

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

MadLad797d 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.

Amplitude797d ago (Edited 797d 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
