Shooter Showdown: Call of Duty Ghosts vs. Battlefield 4

Chris West brings the two yearly shooters to an ultimate showdown: "It’s that time again, the almost yearly battle between FPS juggernauts Battlefield and Call of Duty. Despite this rivalry of the ages, the two seem to more and more alike each year. I feel like the two are twin brothers, torn asunder by fate and raised by different parents. Nobody cares about their tragic upbringing though, just who won the fight this year. The rules are simple: each game will be judged in different areas before the winner will be decided. Let the match begin."

Both games are pretty mediocre so far to me especially Cod, Bf3 was good but bf4 seems like very little effort went into it i want Bad company 3 tbh.

snipab8t3816d ago

Very true, both games seem sub-standard compared to their predecessors. I wish that battelfield would ditch the campaign and bring back instant action with bots and even splitscreen.

Insomnia_843816d ago (Edited 3816d ago )

I heard the PS4 version is running better than PC. Some guys on a website even recommended it.

Autodidactdystopia3816d ago

Yeah have fun with that.

notice fps up in top corner, that's 1920x1200 ultra http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Kleptic3816d ago (Edited 3816d ago )

haha i'd wait to hold judgement on both the ps4 and xbox one until the game is released...Not only will bf4 be a buggy mess for the time being, who knows how well the PS4's PSN and everything else is going to be (same with xbl)...

launches are never pretty...no matter what platform...the PC version was atrocious for a few days, but is coming around fairly quickly...7 server updates in 10 days helped, but a client side patch is needed soon in order to get the cpu usage down for a lot of players...

just saying...the next gen consoles are most likely not going to fair any better...they have nearly zero 'real' play testing on those systems...all we can hope for is fast updates that actually make things better...and not worse...

and Insomnia...better than what? Any PC? Absolutely not...Some PC's are screaming through bf4 and reporting little to no crashes, stuttering, etc...but others are having problems...it just depends on hardware...in fact, the game seemingly performs better on mid range PC's right now...where its not taking advantage of higher end parts (cpu wise, its fine gpu wise)...but who knows, it'll take another week or two to get it really smoothed out...

Intentions3816d ago

BF4 and CoD ghost seems a bit rushed, mainly cos of next gen systems coming out.

bestofthebest3816d ago (Edited 3816d ago )

I agree I think the next gen transition has something to do with it, next year we will hopefully get an amazing cod by treyarch(zombie next gen will be great)and bf5 following that.

mcstorm3816d ago

I really do hope this is the bubble on FPS games bursting in terms of yoy release. I want to see different types of FPS games come next gen as its getting boring the same yoy now.

xReDeMpTiOnx3816d ago

They both turned out meh honestly if Killzone turns out anywhere as good as 2 or better than Killzone should actually run away with best fps

HeyYouGuyz3816d ago

The Battlefield series has never really had yearly installments the way CoD has. And the progression of the graphics engine was almost always there, rather than recycling the same one from 2008.

Battlefield Bad Company - Frostbite 1.0 - 2008
Battlefield Bad Company 2 - Frostbite 1.5 - 2010
Battlefield 3 - Frostbite 2 - 2011
Battlefield 4 - Frostbite 3 - 2013

CoD 4 Modern Warfare - id Tech Engine (IW 3.0) - 2007
CoD World at War - id Tech Engine (IW 3.0) - 2008
CoD MW2 - id Tech Engine (IW 3.0) - 2009
CoD Black Ops - id Tech Engine (IW 3.0) - 2010
CoD MW2 - MW2 Engine (they started naming the engine after the game to make it look like something was changing...) - 2011
CoD Black Ops 2 - Black Ops 2 Engine - 2012
CoD Ghosts - same engine with "significant" updates... - 2013

lezbehonest..... same shit since 07 vs always upgraded.

Kleptic3816d ago

I try not to fall for the marketing gimmick of naming a rendering engine...because there is no universal scale for what an updated engine is required to have...

for example, in terms of BF, FB1 to FB2 was a night and day difference...EVERYTHING was better visually...FB2 to FB3, however...is much more subtle bump in technology...better physics, better lighting, and better particle effects for sure...but not some generational jump in rendering...

If anything, i think its kind of smart on Activision's part...with CoD...to not get wrapped up in that naming thing...I agree with you...so little has changed to that engine over the past decade...they'd just get made fun of even more if they tried to say 'CoD engine 5.0' now or something...

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.

-Foxtrot756d ago

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

gamesftw250756d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface755d 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.

Inverno755d 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

XiNatsuDragnel756d 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.

XbladeTeddy796d ago

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

MadLad796d 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.

TheLigX796d ago

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

Yppupdam796d 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.

victorMaje796d ago

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

MadLad796d 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.

Amplitude796d ago (Edited 796d 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
