Except BF was already on consoles by then with the fairly successful Modern Combat.

Enough that I can always find full servers here in the US. I don’t need (or care if) millions of gamers are playing SWBF, BFHL, BF4, BF1, COD, HALO, Destiny, etc.
All I need are enough gamers to populate one US server and I’m good.

Well, what we’re getting now is more or less a BF4 re-skin in a setting that doesn’t even closely resemble the sort of meat grinder WW1 was.

Well pretty much every BF has been a reskin with nuances changed, with only huge changes between 2142 and BC. Battlefield games have never closely resembled the reality of the eras of warfare they represent. They’re exaggerated forms of warfare set in recognizable eras.

Um, the first Call of Duty was a Windows game, as was the first expansion, United Front. I played them and I haven’t owned a console since the Sega Genesis. It didn’t hit the N-Gage until almost a year after release. Finest Hour was the first console-only release.

The original CoD was ported to 360 and PS3 long ago. United OFFENSIVE may have been a PC only expansion, but the original CoD was eventually featured on consoles. Then regular console releases started with Finest Hour.

Essentially, every CoD game has been featured on consoles. Every BF has not. Not even close. BF didn’t move to consoles until a year after CoD did, and then didn’t do it again until 3 years later.

It’s safe to say that Battlefield moved to consoles because of the vastly increasing popularity and ease of playing online multiplayer on gaming consoles around the time that the Xbox 360 and PS3 were released - not because CoD did.

Meh all this CoD talk. Tell me where is the state of this great game after it catered for the masses? Should we not maybe learn out of the industry giant. Battlefield never killed CoD. CoD died due to bad decisions made by Activision Blizzard. Becoming too greedy and adding purchasable supply crates. Battlefield 4 Battlepacks are not far off, it takes one gun or melee weapon to be locked behind a Battlepack.

Well the “state” of it is subjective. Haters, of course, are going to say the game is no matter what. But I’ve played every single CoD to date, and I highly disliked the franchise after Call of Duty 4.

But I enjoyed the hell out of Black Ops 3 and thought it was a great game.

Either way - CoD is not “dead”. I guarantee Infinite Warfare will make hundreds of millions of dollars, and millions of people will still play it.

Sorry, but 12+ million daily players is not “dead”. CoD has the third most popular competitive scene in E-Sports. It’s not dying any time soon.

Literally all the changes i listed brought bf closer to cod.Your logic is completely flawed.For example ,still not having as small maps as cod doesnt mean they didnt bring the game closer to it by making maps smaller.

Also i forgot to mention.AUTOHEAL.Battlepacks.Red eye syndrome when you get hit

And yes you are a console cod player because you literally said you are high prestige in cod and you only have a console.So that means the changes are working well.Welcome to former battlefield

Except BF is still not similar to CoD at all, which is what you were suggesting. Making BF’s maps smaller doesn’t make it similar to CoD at all, because they could cut the size of all their maps in half, and they would still be significantly bigger than the biggest CoD map. By that logic, you could say they were trying to make it similar to a myriad of smaller-scale shooters, which again, would not be the case by sheer map size alone.

And again, plenty of FPS games have autoheal, and “red eye” when you get hit. Those aren’t things only exclusive to CoD and existed in shooters before they existed in CoD.

Lastly, I didn’t say I only had a console - and I have more time put in to BF4 than I have put in to BO3 by far, and my total time played in the CoD franchise will never even come close to my total time played in the BF franchise. I have a Steam account with dozens of games and was a PC gamer long before I was a console gamer. Are you (poorly) attempting to troll, or do you intentionally base all of your arguments on just spewing information out of your ***?

Again, saying someone is a “console CoD player” just because they own a console and play cod just makes you look stupid.

Oh i see its the denying phase of not being able to support an argument.

“Just because you listed 15 changes that bring this game closer to cod,doesnt mean this game is closer to cod because its not cod yet.”

“The changes could refer to other games even though all of them coincidentally exist in cod, even when most other games borrowed them from cod too”

“I dont have a single battlefield on my pc account but im not a console cod game even though i literally play cod on a console for hours.So these changes totally did not attract me to change from cod to bf”

Yeah sorry you have reached the point where you dont make sense.Btw dont mask your lack of logic by replying to every single post with a whole page essay.It doesnt work

Did someone say COD is dead?
No, not even close.
Unless you’re saying that corpses can rain cash from the sky.

Sniff, sniff. Do you smell that? Cow Pies! 12 million daily. HA! Prove it, other than some comment that someone said there is nothing that proves it. But yeah there is still a lot of people playing the older sequels.

The changes you listed didn’t make the game closer to CoD. The games are still significantly different - they don’t play or feel similar at all, not in the slightest. I’m assuming by your humongous “anti-CoD” stance, that you’ve probably never even played a modern-day CoD game for more than a few minutes.

One of your examples of “changes bringing it closer to cod” was radar with 2d spotting icons that reveal enemy positions. Sorry - but Halo did that first. Or how about the “red-eye” when you get hit? Sorry, DOOM did that first. Put games out on consoles? DOOM did it first as well. Introduced camos? Timesplitters did it first.

You’re acting like CoD was the pinnacle of all these game design choices, when they’re just copied from other games, not the other way around.

I’m not even going to go in to single-player campaigns and the pace of the game, seeing as there are WAY faster games than CoD that came WAY before CoD, and the blatant fact that CoD wasn’t the first game with a single-player campaign.

And over the years I’ve used several different accounts to play BF games - probably a different account nearly every time. I know that I’ve had probably 8 different Xbox Live accounts, and throughout BF 2 I had 2-3 accounts as well. I was much younger then and didn’t really care to remember my log-in information most of the time, especially when I could just create new accounts.

I played BF an entire year before the original CoD was even released, and my first experiences with CoD were on PC. You’re seriously making yourself look stupid by insisting I’m a “console CoD player” just because I’ve played CoD on a console.

But I’m the one that’s not making sense and am lacking logic? Keep patting yourself on the back, bro.

Just in November it was reported that Black Ops II, which was three years old at the time, still had 11 million players per month. There are HUNDREDS of millions of Call of Duty fans, it’s in the top 3 most popular FPS franchises of all time. Nearly the entire playerbase moves along from title to title as they’re released every year. Considering they sold over 250 million copies, and how popular the game is, that number is not a stretch of the imagination.

Activision recorded that during holiday 2015, there were more monthly active players on BO3 than ever before in the franchise’s history.

Please stop talking about “netcode”. You don’t have any idea what you are talking about

Well… there getting my money

Hello is anyone paying attention ?? 2143 you are getting it Titanfall 2

Titanfall 2 is going to mop the floor with CoD (whatever)

Firstly it’s made by the old CoD guys, it’s in the future, and it has wacking big mech’s…

Why did EA back WW1 well it fits in with the release of Titanfall 2 but doesn’t compete.

They are going to smash it come October.
