Is it worth it? I’ve been a COD player all my life and I’m looking for a game that people take more seriously. But I have a lot of questions, like do they have an online ranking and prestige system or what? A few of my friends have highly reccommended this game and I just want to know more about it so I don’t waste my money and hate it. Thanks in advance!
I used to play CoD myself, but I got BF3 on a friend’s recommendation and I really liked it, and I will get BF4 soon. Anyways, as a former CoD player myself, I think you will enjoy it. There is an online ranking system, though I’m not sure about prestige because I never got high enough in BF3 to get there. Definitly give it a try!
Just curious, but what do you mean by “take more seriously”.
No prestige, you get a rank that did have a limit in bf3. (cannot confirm for bf4) Premium users are allowed to reset their stats but that is it. As far as taking the game seriously… I prefer the battlefield series over CoD but there are douchebags in both.
I’m COD you can’t strategize with friends very well. It’s more of just sit there and hope someone runs at you. In BF can you strategize and use tactics to get the job done?
I’m in the same boat you are. After this whole Ghosts garbage I’m turned off from Call of Duty at least until Treyarch makes the game next year.
I’m going to pick up BF4 tomorrow and hoping that I enjoy it a lot more than Ghosts. I played the BETA a bit and it was fun, I’d imagine I’ll have more fun being able to use everything the game has to offer.
Maybe I’ll like it enough to jump ship completely and start playing BF all the time instead of even thinking about CoD.
I got cod like last week wasn’t to satisfied so got battlefield yesterday and am enjoying it a bunch so far!
Well you can use strategy in any game you play. I’ve played CoD with friends and had ‘strategies’. I’ve used strategies in BF as well, its just a little more encouraged because of squads.
But like CoD, BF also has its fair share of idiots who ignore the objectives in favor of sniping for the duration of a match. This is unavoidable. Its very difficult to find a server with competent people who want to play the objectives properly without shotgunning their way into a base full of snipers.
Their isn’t a prestige in BF, when you hit level 50 you become a colonel 1 which goes up to 100. Unlike in cod you will not lose everything you’ve unlocked when you level up to high. I feel BF is more team oriented compare to cod, plus the vehicles and different classes add more depth and strategy to the game. I use to play both, but after BF:BC2 I grew away from cod completely.
My advice: was a huge cod player since modern warfare 4. The good ole days was loads of fun became a cod fan all the way to black ops 2. I had enough. Then I remember the old school battfield forgot exat name was like 1884 or something like that. So I picked up bf3 fell in love with the game again. So much more legit yea a few things may irritate you like snipers are not one shot one kill unless its a head shot. But the bullet drop makes it fun flying jets is awesome! But what really drew me back was the team work, you truly had to work as a team to win reminded me of cod 4 playing search. Bf4 has been great so far few things they changed but nothing bad. Needs a few glitch repairs bc they rushed the release but it will be fixed. I recomend u buy it as a guy who was once in your position. Good luck and don’t forget team work bro!!! (Not the best ranking system not like a halo 2, but hard to level up)
I played COD religiously, as far as I was concerned it was the only the game that ever mattered. I played bf3 at a friends house. Went home pulled Blops 2 out of my play station went to EB and traded it in for BF3 and never looked back. BF4 is the best game I’ve ever played hands down.
The realism and tactical strategy is exactly what I was looking for. If you wanna run n gun you can. If you wanna be a dick and not play the objective no one will stop you but. That’s the intent of the game. I hope this helps, I hope you buy it and love it like I did!!!
I was a COD player as well and found battlefield a little slow. Some of my friends were really into battlefield so I played with them a bit. The more I play it, the more I HATE COD (not saying it is a bad franchise, just saying that I don’t enjoy the style of the game). Battlefield has it all. You can snipe, you can run and gun, you can camp if that is your thing. There are game types and maps for everything.
Also I love the fact that you need to work as a team to win. You will run out of ammo if you don’t have a support guy, you will be blind without your recon guy, and you will be dead without your medic.
When you get a squad that plays like the game is meant to be played, the game is SO MUCH FUN.
Tldr: once you start playing battlefield, you won’t go back to COD.
I just purchased it, will be playing in 20 minutes 
Gotcha thanks
Awesome hope you love it dude!!!
Well…do you like it!!!
I didn’t realize you needed and I have the Xbox slim with 4gb memory so I just ordered a 120gb hard drive and it’s going to be in hopefully today
Yea and unfortunately the snipers are everywhere on hardcore servers because every rifle is a one shot one kill kind of thing. If it werent for all the snipers in hardcore mode I would absolutely love it, instead I’m mostly frustrated with it.
This problem alone is ruining hardcore for me. You get a 64 player match and only 24 of the players are actually playing the objective because everyone else wants to easily kill people in one shot without being spotted or kill cammed. It’s absurd what’s going on with this game. I wish some server would put a limit on the number of snipers each team can have.
COD is the arcade version of Battlefield. I think that’s sums it up.
