The reason I’m asking is I’m a COD convert. I switched because I like the team aspect of Battlefield 2. Also couldn’t deal with the foul mouth, hate spewing, anger issues that seem to be popping up with more frequency when on COD. I know I can mute but after awhile you’re playing in silence by yourself. Kind of boring.

I’m an adult. I just want to relax, decompress and enjoy a good game/conversation. I am competitive but I don’t take myself too seriously. If you are of the same mindset, please add me to your friend list. My name is El’Hajj and my PSN game tag is Hajji. Just let me know you’re from the forums and I’ll add you.

I was talking about this to a buddy of mine today and both of us are a bit tired of COD and are thinking of making the switch to Battlefield. From what I've seen it looks pretty good and I've heard nothing but good things about the series.

I love battlefield in I'm already playing the beta.

To me battlefield the maps are huge where cod maps are small
Also in battlefield you can make squads up to 4 players 3 might be larger in when you die you can spawn off anyone on your squad that is still alive.
You also have all kinds of vehicles you can drive or fly. Also if you knife someone you get there dog tags with there name on it. To me battlefield is more of a team game due to the maps being so big where cod is more close quaters battles.

I'm a COD fanatic. I tried Battlefield once and just couldn't get into it. Its a bit too serious for me.. I don't want to think to hard when playing a game like that. I just want to run around with a shotgun. Tongue

In my opinion battlefield is the better game and the beta is awesome. Around the holidays I try and vary the games I get to keep me interested so basically I get one shooter, one action, one rpg etc. However I believe the campaign in battlefield 3 is going to suck as will modern warfare's so this year rather than getting one of the two titans I am going to opt for Goldeneye reloaded. Campaign is sure to be great and the multiplayer is bound to be a blast. I will probably get battlefield when its around the £20 and the same goes to halo combat evolved anniversary. A damn lot of games coming out but I would like to give the perhaps less popular games a chance.

This is spot on. Just to add on to Bobafett's post, you can choose a class to benefit your squad. Example: you can be a medic. Another player gets hit, you can revive him/his health and both of you get points for working together.

For me, I like the pace that Battlefield uses. I enjoy that you are rewarded for working as a team/squad. The better the cooperation the more you are rewarded. You’ll find that even when someone isn’t mic’d, they will work with you because it benefits them. COD can seem unorganized and a giant free for all even in the team matches.

Camping is ok in Battlefield. In COD you will get cursed for being a sniper. I’m not going to run around with a .50 cal rifle.


In COD, team kills happen way too much because people aren’t on the same page and the maps are smaller. Even though we all know this, you still have teammates killing each other back and forth out of spite. This usually leads to innocent bystanders getting caught in cross fire from 2 jerks.

The huge spread out maps of Battlefield gives you more creative freedom in how you play. The weapons are balanced. Example: if you’ve ever fired a weapon, you know the further it is the higher you aim. Battlefield accounts for that. I can’t get a 200+ yd kill with a .45.

I can see what people like in both. But for me, running around aimlessly match after match gets boring. If you're on the fence, try thr free beta.

Looks like I'm going to give B3 a try though I'm not sure how much time I'll put into it since I'm picking up Arkham City soon!

I will get it after the price comes down. I almost never buy games when they come out because I can not afford them.

Release day is here. The offer still stands for those interested. I’ve heard from few people but the more the merrier.
