However, there are some people who say that battlefield is just for people who "can't play cod"
More than some.
Yeah, that's pretty much the CoD players way of protecting their precious game. I can easily get a 2:1 ratio with QUICKSCOPING on Modern Warfare 2, I did that a week ago, after not playing it for about a year.
I can't play CoD?
Funnily enough I don't think any of them will take my word for it, because they don't understand that a debate is to give the perspectives from different people - not to throw insults.
If you can't take my word for it, then why take your word for your 360 cross map throwing knife? Especially since... and I'm even pointing out one of the current flaws in this arugment here - especially since I back up my arguments - yeah, not that one, yet. However in many, many points I've made I've nearly always explained them and I have no problem explaining them if someone points out I didn't (which I often do because as you can see, I can ramble for quite the while).
Anyway, I think this thread is a little late since Battlefield 3 is due out December the 31st (I think) and Modern Warfare 3 is due out November the 11th (I think).
Personally? I will prefer Battlefield 3. I'm not even getting it, I'm getting Crysis 2 (because we all know going invisible and jumping 30ft and surviving is better than taking down a 7 story building... wait... Umm.. They're about equal imo
), because I'd like to see how they upgraded their game from Crysis 1.
That's how you rate a game. I see CoD players (and my evidence is the multitude of lifeless knits who pay for every CoD game that comes out) buying the franchise they adore without any knowledge of what to expect. I kind of don't blame their actions, it's only their motives that annoy me - they're too lazy. I don't blame their actions because from my own research and comparisons it's quite easy for me to say that there hasn't been anything sufficiently different between CoD's 4-7 to qualify it as a new game - it's just the creators hogging the money.
I rate a game on:
1) What makes it unique.
2) How they upgraded it from their precessor (if there was one).
3) Whether or not they succeeded in making their game give you the atmosphere it wanted to.
I'll explain 3.
Battlefield: Bad Company 1, I haven't bought it but I played the demo. I think the aim of Battlefield is not to be "skillful" (CoD doesn't either tbh, unbalanced weapons does not qualify as skilled
), but to be the most realistic of its time. And it succeeded - the airstrike came in the demo, dust, decay, parted wood and foliage around the battlefield (no pun intended) as epic music came in and we charged through picking off the stragglers avoiding gunfire thanks to the obscure space. It felt real, I felt the adrenline and HOLY HELL it was a DEMO!
I felt more adrenline in those few moments than in all my time spent playing Call of Duty, that, my friends, is sad (especially considering the fact that it was the CAMPAIGN I was playing).
Anyway, just my huge paragraph of death. Don't read it guys, I wrote it and I'm tired now.
