Ever since I bought my 360 it’s been a CoD machine, but with Ghosts being as shitty as it is, I have been seriously considering getting BF4. I was wondering how many people are usually on the Xbox 360 version at any given time, and, since I live in New Zealand I was also wondering if I would be able to find matches with decent connection quality. If anyone could also explain the rank up/unlock system i would be very grateful. Thanks (:
While I can’t answer the question concerning your connection, I can tell you that I did exactly what you’re thinking of doing like three days ago. I have always played CoD, and it was getting kind of boring because, lets face it, if you’re a half decent player you’ll mess up almost everybody else pretty easily. However, BO2 was a great game but Ghosts just disappointed me so much, that I actually sold it for 22€ (bought it for 60..) just to buy BF4. Oh. My. Glob. It has completely convinced me! Such a great game, so many things to do. From what I’ve experienced so far I can tell you, it’s completely different from CoD. People have already asked me if I prefer BF over CoD now, and I keep telling them it’s almost like comparing apples and oranges. Yes they’re both shooters, but CoD is a fast action arcade shooter, where you rush most of the time and try to get 30+ kills in a TD game (at least that’s how I played it, I understand there are people who actually try and camp or something). However in battlefield, you can have this fast-ish action and run around, or go drive a tank and fuck some serious shit up, or go and sit on a 500m high tower and snipe the hell out of the enemies. Sometimes you’re alive for 10+ minutes, which would never happen in CoD. The graphics and especially the sounds obviously beat CoD, and it’s a little more of a strategic warfare you’re in, rather than an action arcade shooter. Also, I feel like I care way more about whether my team wins or loses in BF. Hope that helped a little bit, bottom line: do it. There will be no regrets.
The difference between Battlefield and CoD.
In CoD, if your K/D is good, then you get bonuses.
In Battlefield, I’m mostly at top of the leaderboards, and still negative K/D for most of my games.
Why? Battlefield actually has objectives.
Do it, Get a PC!!
Keep in mind that your experience of BF 4 will not be the same as those on the newest generation consoles or PC. (ie. 24 players vs 64, 30 vs 60 fps…)
It get better
I normally sit with a 1.5-2.0 kd and top of the board due to objective play and assisting.
2 things that jacked up my kd?
Pistol only server. Getting shots on target with pistol is harder, helped me realize how to do it. It also made me confident in my sidearm, every triple/quadrakill has always included a pistol kill now
Hardcore. Now I like normal better, but hardcore teaches you to not rely on the mini map for enemy location. Play 10 games on hardcore and go back to normal, you will die much less
A negative kill to death ratio. That’s amazing.
Call of duty is your pick up and play shooter. Battlefield has been designed as an immersive team based game. If you go solo, good chance you wont do as well. Helping your team mates and being unselfish is very rewarding. I play hardcore with my squad mates a lot. Its a very different game compared to softcore. Very realistic, and pretty hard to get used to. Teamkills are annoying though, so be warned. You will enjoy this game a lot. Welcome to the battlefield
I’m ranked top 15 in California for engineer class, nothing like CoD mentality…you see vehicles? Down 'em, spot everything and push the objective. That is how I maintain SPM and a 1.63 K/D overall..which is difficult in BF4 considering I was 2.3 on CoD
Too bad BF4 sucks at the moment. I hear the Xb360 and ps3 versions are awful so I’m not sure I would bother unless you’re going to get next gen or pc. I transitioned to PC as my gaming platform of choice a couple months ago, best decision I made. BLOPS 2 was terrible on the Pc however, and ghosts support is meant to be awful also. We all know the problems with BF4 at the moment but those issues can be fixed, where CoD ghosts will be fucking shit forever (terrible PC support). The only difference I think, apart from controls being more responsive, that The quality of gamers playing PC is much higher than that of a console (Not that there is no good gamers on console) so I’ve found myself struggling with the learning curve of BF4 because I’m getting fucking owned.
So yeah Fuck CoD get BF4 on pc 
Oh, you know what I mean.
I’m having fun.
Define awful.
Yeah, but I can still give you a hard time
