(this conversation takes place before both Xbox One and PS4 released)
What you are about to read, is a conversation between two passionate gamers and long time friends (has it really been 7 years already?) about the state of modern first person shooters. It’s a battle of minds, about the age long war between Battlefield, and Call of Duty. This is a conversation between Jae_Blaze06 and BauerKillz, and Mr_Yarger. Enjoy, and let the "war" commence!
Call of Duty games used to be streamlined experiences, but COD 2024’s UI could be another nightmarish clutter of streaming tabs.
If we’re beating that drum, can we also stop forcing anyone who wants to play only the single player to download Warzone and all updates BEFORE they are then able to do another download from the menu of the single player campaign. I don’t see why I need 150gb of downloads in several ways to play the single player mode only from a bloomin disk which should have that campaign on it already.
The UI is confusing to me because I have not purchased a Call of Duty iin like 8 years .Only bought CoD MW3 because 3 of my friends I have known since to 70s are playing zombies . But I am used it now .
The UI is the least of the franchise many problems these days. But yes the UI is also terrible.
Do you remember what gaming was like before Fortnite entered the gaming space? One of the biggest arguments was about loot boxes. Now we have conversations about crossovers, battle passes, and community outreach.
Idk. Loot boxes did disappear and battle passes and in game purchases are all cosmetic. We get free weapons and maps post launch, any gameplay affecting content. I could care less about all the cosmetics.
I absolutely hated the days where weapons were locked behind a less than 1% chance lootbox pull where it'd take 5+ hours to have enough tokens to do a single pull and lazy remastered/remake maps cost you $15 each wave or $50 for the season pass that you didn't know what you'd get and these maps were only available to those that bought it so you get a smaller pool of players match with.
Call of duty can simply not copy the bad aspects of Fortnite? Or is that too out of this world? Like COD, a realistic shooter-just HAD to have Nicki Minaj running around? Or super heroes?
I prefer the battle passes with free maps than the $50 season pass that divided the community. I definitely feel that Fortnite had some influence on CoD having loot boxes with Blackout being introduced in 2018 with Black Ops 4.
Actually Fortnite bullshit ruined Unreal Tournament. Epic are sellouts and I will never have that shitty store on my PC, fuck them and that shit bag Tim Sweeney. At least the community keeps the games alive, I still play UT2004.
The Black Ops Gulf War leaks continue with a list of weapon descriptions giving more info on what you can expect from new and returning weapons.
easy list:
cod: pick up and play, lone ranger combat, fast paced, for casuals and hardcore, arcade style fps, small maps, low player vs player count 9v9 max
bf: takes time to master, team based, medium to fast paced depending on mode, harcore, simulation style fps, maps of all sizes, high player vs player count at 32 vs 32
cod strengths: larger fan base, easy to master, sp mode has better story lines, killstreaks.
bf strengths: destruction on a massive scale, large weapon selection with large customization for guns, gernades, tools, med kits, side arms, explosives, knives all have a verity to choose and upgrade with use, vehicle combat( vehicles also upgradable everything from dirt bikes to jets), graphics, large maps eliminate camping and brings true sniping, seem to take a step forward every installation.
you make your choice. i've retired from cod. bf has turned me...no more kids screaming in my ears, and that feelin u get when you land a head shot from 500m away ....priceless marksman points baby!
Battlefield 4 by far over CoD Ghost.
Anybody that played the beta of battlefield, just know the full game is much much better.
This should settle stuff. http://youtu.be/KJIIgdSW6O4
Just made the switch and I have to say I'm enjoying the hell out of BF4. Not happy going 3-15, but I like the game lol.
BOTH SUCK ! Nuff said.
