This opinion piece is based only on the singleplayer campaigns of both Call of Duty: Ghosts and Battlefield 4.
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.
if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.
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.
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
The shooter genre is one of the most beloved videogame genres in the gaming community, and rightfully so. From DOOM Eternal to Battlefield 4, passing through The Outer Worlds, the Xbox Game Pass has a lot to offer when it comes to amazing shooter experiences. Come check out some great shooter games available on Xbox Game Pass!
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.

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
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
Lol, two miserable single player campaigns against eachother
Both of the single player campaigns are probably lack luster anyways.
BF4's single player was very meh, it was about on par with the BF3's. I did like the multiple choice ending, though it didn't really effect anything. For PC it's kinda annoying to play it to get unlocks for MP since I played it on Xbox already, so it's just a grind.
Ghosts single player was a bit better and had some cool missions and left the window open up for a continuation of the story.
I'm one of the very few that enjoy single player stories on shooters even if they're about the average 5-6 hour run time lol.
Its like being told your getting a kick in the happy sack but they will wear trainers instead of boots, won't hurt quite as much but still far from pleasant
I think BOTH of these franchises would do well to abandon the TRADITIONAL idea of a "campaign," in favor of something more free-form and open.
Open world campaign with a high degree of coop functionality and even full multiplayer integration (though not a requirement). Think GTAV and Splinter Cell Black list.
Build persistent base, squads customizable to your preferences, beyond the "story" have an endless mission/side mission element. Randomly generated tasks threats, offensive and defensive missions. AI attacks your position or attempts to infiltrate, you do the same, earn resources, points, tech/supplies, whatever.
Would work great for both games.
Like that old Mathew Broderick movie, Wargames, different levels control, tactical, strategic, on the ground, be great.
