Throughout the history of man, conflicts take always beset u.s.a. on all fronts, and nosotros're non even talking near warfare. Sometimes it'south just a conflict between two, er, weighty favorites. Information technology can be anything; Britney or Christina; Left Wing or Right Wing; ketchup or mayo; and for us gamers...Call of Duty orBattlefield.

It's a tale of the record as old as time-- well, not really, only it'due south a seemingly age-old rivalry in the relatively immature beingness of video games. Such rivalry is certainly up in that location with similar grudge matches like the Xbox or PlayStation. So, nosotros're here to objectively (as much as possible) find out which game is meliorate based on our *ahem* expert criteria. Prepare your Doritos and Mount Dew, it's a long deathmatch.

11 SINGLE PLAYER - CALL OF DUTY

Gone are the days whenCall of Dutyhad a compact single-thespian campaign. Information technology was scrapped/shortened in favor or a more robust multiplayer model. By comparison, Battlefield is heavily-focused on multiplayer also, meaning it's not really a great single-player experience.

Storywise, both simply showcase Hollywoodified (thank you Urban Dictionary!) warfare whether its historical or futuristic. So, why does Call of Duty take this cake? Simply because of its memorable single-player characters: Soap McTavish, Helm Toll, Victor Reznov, etc. TheBattlefieldgames accept none of those memorable badasses.

10 MULTIPLAYER - Describe

This 1'southward difficult. Both games are multiplayer-focused and have refined their own respective formula through more than a decade of yearly titles (speaking forCall of Duty).Call of Duty'south tight and electrifying arcade shooter mechanics and perk arrangement is a fragger's paradise.

Meanwhile,Battlefield is no slouch with its breathtaking 64-player maps where varying combat roles brand more sense. WhileCall of Dutyalso introduced another season in the form of its "zombies" and other modes,Battlefield maps also involve vehicular warfare. The style y'all're incentivized to work with others inBattlegroundis what makes multiplayer fun and gives it more purpose. And then again... battle royale... this one's a necktie.

9 GRAPHICS - Battleground

Graphics are the starting time affair players will notice in video games. That means information technology'south a huge deciding factor on how much they'll similar it, outset impressions are important, afterward all. BothCall of DutyandBattleground games accept had numerous graphical overhauls with every new championship.

However, when it comes to the technical aspects of the graphics, Battlefield, especially Battlefield V, is only a league above Call of Duty: Blackness Ops 4. Even without the shiny bells and whistles of the Ray-Tracing from Nvidia, Battlefield Five is withal a better looker than Black Ops 4.

8 Production VALUE - Telephone call OF DUTY

While however being tied to the graphics and visuals, production value refers to how well-made a media grade is in regards to elements like audio, props, and the overall aesthetics. BothCall of DutyandBattlefield games are no exception-- they have tried to be as cinematic as possible in their respective single-actor campaigns.

Notwithstanding, allow's not discount the fact thatTelephone call of Duty's developers and publishers have pulled some pretty grand strings; Hans Zimmer was the composer for music inModern Warfare two and of class, Kevin Spacey (oops) and Kit Harington both lent their likeness and voices to their own correspondingPhone call of Dutygames. That star power is also bright forBattlefield.

7 REPLAY VALUE/VARIETY - CALL OF DUTY

BothCall of DutyandBattlefield have brief single-histrion sections which unremarkably only last a few hours-- y'all're lucky if it reaches six on regular difficulty. And then, that leaves u.s. with zero but multiplayer to compare replayability.

Based on the variety of game modes alone, and of course, a Boxing Royale mode, nosotros'd have to give this one to Call of Duty. Those perks and weapons skins are also awesome in their own correct. Battleground'south replayability is also quite commendable, but the way you tin can seamlessly go in and out of Call of Duty's shorter sessions gives a amend feeling of accomplishment... plus Nazi zombies are fun.

6 LEGACY - DRAW

The firstCall of Dutygame was a World State of war II shooter aptly namedCall of Duty and was released back in 2003. As for the firstBattlefieldgame, it'southBattleground 1942, released in 2002; same setting but different formats as1942was more multiplayer-focused. It's condom to say that no one copied the other though both eventually branched out to modern warfare.

With both games being released only a year autonomously from one another, their legacy is a tie amid the gaming community. There are 15Call of Dutygames in full whileBattlefieldhas 11 titles to its belt. Both have also had their own share of disappointing titles.

5 ACTION - BATTLEFIELD

When it boils down to which of these starting time-person shooters (FPS) are the shootiest, it's a tough call. Both games require your pinpoint precision and catlike reaction times.Call of Duty's requirements is a bit more arcadey since the maps are small and yous're supposed to have maximum tactical awareness.

Equally for Battlefield games, expert eyesight and strategic placement is a must if you want to be able to exceed. Both games have guns that also feel accurate and impactful (as far as video game guns go) and in that location's no doubting the satisfaction they bring upon pulling the trigger. Then again, vehicular combat adds a whole new layer of action and devastation to Battlefield, so it wins.

4 ACCESSIBILITY - CALL OF DUTY

With both games being FPS, they don't exactly take a steep learning bend. You point and then you shoot until the pixels yous're aiming at disappear into a red mist. It's not rocket science. BetwixtPhone call of DutyandBattlefield, withal, nosotros'd have to give this one to the former. It's a lot more casual and the controls are certainly tighter (though less realistic).

Meanwhile, forBattlefield games, there are also several layers of unwritten rules you must follow specially if you desire your team to win in multiplayer-- you can't simply run effectually randomly running and gunning anyone with a unlike compatible. Based on experience, more kids chooseTelephone call of DutythanBattlefield,so there.

3 SCALE - BATTLEFIELD

When it comes to ambition, both games are no stranger to doing it one thousand. This is most evident in their single-role player aspects, especially when it comes to Earth War 2 shooters. BothCall of DutyandBattleground have an impressive collection of WWII games as well as modern and futuristic setting titles.

Nonetheless, we feel that Battleground is a lot more progressive with their titles, especially since they even ventured into Globe War I and made it piece of work. On height of that, their graphics and faithfulness to actual war both in single-player and multiplayer (64-player maps) are astounding and more than thoughtful.

It'southward non but the gameplay or other innate aspects of a game which make it appealing. Sometimes, the community plays huge part in keeping the magic. This is especially true for multiplayer-focused games likeTelephone call of DutyandBattlefield. A community can make or intermission the game for others. Equally information technology is, it seems theBattlegroundwins in this department.

Its community is simply more mature and more appreciative of history and teamwork. Case in point wasBattlefield one's community; it organized its ain armistice in-game in honor of the real-life armistice which happened back in Earth War I, specifically the Christmas Truce of 1914. It was an unofficial ceasefire where British and German troops laid down their arms and sang Christmas carols to one another instead of fighting.Battlefield 1players successfully commemorated such an upshot. Good luck finding something like that inCall of Duty games.
