Teamwork:

- I did not say that it is not in the game. I said: “it is not a priority:”
- The word teamwork does not come up once on the front page of the Battlefield One home page.
- Did any of the DICE developers team say, “We are focusing on making Battlefield a teamwork orientated game”
- It is not a selling point of this game.
- I never said that good maps = teamwork. I said “Teamwork + difficult to master game play + good maps = Great Game”
- Have they talked about how they designed their maps? All I have heard is destruction, destruction and more destruction.

And the neck beards come out…If you want to play BF2 go play that or PR…Things change, BC2 was fun. I liked head to head combat TBH.

As someone who actively plays CoD and Battlefield, and has 600+ hours logged in BF4 and is Prestige Master 220 in Black Ops 3 - Battlefield to this day has very few key mechanics that are similar to CoD, apart from it being a first person shooter.

They attract two different types of crowds, and the games play nothing alike. When BC2 was released, the most recent CoD was Black Ops - and those two games, again, were nothing alike. The only reason BC2 garnered so many players was because not only was it one of Battlefield’s first attempts to reach the mass console market - but it was also a good Battlefield game.

Just because it introduced many new players to the Battlefield franchise does not mean it was going directly after Call of Duty. At that point, Battlefield wasn’t even a top AAA game at that point, and CoD’s main competitors were Gears of War and Halo.

If people think Battlefield is like COD then I suggest people need to see an optician.

Let me see  
COD  
year 21,000 + AD  
Jump suits  
Robots  
Auto rifles/laser rifles  
Space ships  
Other planets  
Auto shields  
Auto grenades that seek their enemy  
Zero gravity  
Search and Destroy

Battlefield  
1914 to 1918 AD  
tanks  
Armoured cars  
Zeppelins  
Biplanes  
Bolt action rifles  
SMG’s  
Semi auto rifles  
Bayonets  
Conquest  
Rush

Yep very similar almost identical in their application and style

Some people just aren’t fans of change. In which case, they should find something that closer fits their criteria for what is “fun” and “enjoyable”.

They made maps smaller.  
Removed spread.  
Released it to consoles.  
Increased game pace.  
Created the first single player campaign.  
Introduced perks.  
Introduced camos.  
Introduced 1000 attachments.  
Dubstep.  
Lowered skill floor to zero.  
Mininap spotting with moving icon.  
Battlelog for first time to rival cods preimium whatevercrap

And more.Some changed introduced with bc2 some with bf3

Any who says bf did not switch target audience to cod playerbase on consoles is lying to himself

The mere fact that you are a cod player on console and are now playing bf should prove that to you by itself

And that makes Battlefield similar to CoD how?

CoD maps are much smaller, literally like 10x smaller than BF maps. Even the biggest of CoD maps are less than a quarter of any BF map, even Metro or Locker.

CoD has a ton of spread, have you never used SMGs in those games at all?

Releasing to consoles? What does that have to do with CoD? CoD has always been on consoles. The first CoD was even on the N-Gage handheld, which sucked.

BF’s pace is still nowhere near as fast as CoD’s.

BF2MC had a single-player campaign.

The “perks” in BF don’t even remotely resemble those of CoD, and neither do the camos.

Believe it or not, CoD doesn’t have that many "attachments’. They have maybe 10 in total, for ALL guns.

Dubstep? What? What are you even talking about.

Lowered Skill Floor to zero? Tell that to the people that play this game and suck something fierce at it.

Oh NO, not minimaps with enemy icons! I guess Battlefield is copying Halo as well! Watch out 343, BF’s coming after your fanbase!

Lastly, what does Battlelog have to do with CoD’s Premium? CoD has never had anything remotely similar to BL.

Call of Duty and Battlefield are barely similar, in any way, apart from both being first-person shooters. They’re two entirely different games with gameplay that barely resembles each other. If you’re trying to convince anyone that BF is even remotely similar to CoD, you’re just making yourself look stupid.

And I’m not a “cod player on console” - I’ve been playing BF since 2002, before Call of Duty even existed.

The mere fact that you think I’m primarily a “cod player” just because I play the game proves that you’re acting dumb.

I play Halo as well, does that mean I’m a stupid Halo player that’s invading the BF franchise?

I’m a casual gamer that approves of DICE/EA’s message (regarding where it’s taking the BF franchise).  
On a serious note though, I’m looking forward to playing BF1 when it’s released. From what I’ve seen, it looks like a fun game that will cater to many, including the mass market of gamers.

Yes, I did buy SWBF.  
I also bought BFHL. And plan to buy BF1.  
I have a lot of fun playing SWBF and BFHL. The way that BF1 is looking, I think I’ll also have a lot of fun playing it as well.
