Throughout the history of man, conflicts accept always beset us on all fronts, and nosotros're non even talking about warfare. Sometimes it's just a conflict between two, er, weighty favorites. It can be anything; Britney or Christina; Left Wing or Right Wing; ketchup or mayo; and for united states gamers...Call of Duty orBattlefield.

It's a tale of the tape equally old as time-- well, not really, but it's a seemingly age-old rivalry in the relatively young existence of video games. Such rivalry is certainly upward there with similar grudge matches similar the Xbox or PlayStation. So, we're here to objectively (as much as possible) find out which game is amend based on our *ahem* expert criteria. Set up your Doritos and Mount Dew, information technology's a long deathmatch.

11 Unmarried PLAYER - Call OF DUTY

Gone are the days whenCall of Dutyhad a meaty single-histrion entrada. It was scrapped/shortened in favor or a more robust multiplayer model. By comparison, Battlefield is heavily-focused on multiplayer as well, significant it'due south not really a great unmarried-player experience.

Storywise, both simply showcase Hollywoodified (thanks Urban Dictionary!) warfare whether its historical or futuristic. So, why does Telephone call of Duty have this cake? Simply because of its memorable single-player characters: Soap McTavish, Captain Price, Victor Reznov, etc. TheBattlegroundgames have none of those memorable badasses.

10 MULTIPLAYER - DRAW

This i'southward difficult. Both games are multiplayer-focused and have refined their own respective formula through more than a decade of yearly titles (speaking forCall of Duty).Call of Duty's tight and electrifying arcade shooter mechanics and perk organisation is a fragger's paradise.

Meanwhile,Battlefield is no slouch with its breathtaking 64-role player maps where varying combat roles make more sense. WhilePhone call of Dutyalso introduced some other flavour in the course of its "zombies" and other modes,Battlefield maps also involve vehicular warfare. The way you're incentivized to work with others inBattlefieldis what makes multiplayer fun and gives it more than purpose. Then again... battle royale... this one's a necktie.

9 GRAPHICS - BATTLEFIELD

Graphics are the showtime thing players will detect in video games. That means information technology's a huge deciding factor on how much they'll similar it, first impressions are important, after all. BothCall of DutyandBattlefield games have had numerous graphical overhauls with every new title.

However, when it comes to the technical aspects of the graphics, Battleground, particularly Battlefield V, is just a league above Phone call of Duty: Blackness Ops 4. Even without the shiny bells and whistles of the Ray-Tracing from Nvidia, Battlefield V is still a better looker than Blackness Ops 4.

8 PRODUCTION VALUE - Phone call OF DUTY

While yet being tied to the graphics and visuals, production value refers to how well-fabricated a media course is in regards to elements like sound, props, and the overall aesthetics. BothCall of DutyandBattlefield games are no exception-- they accept tried to be as cinematic equally possible in their respective unmarried-histrion campaigns.

However, let'due south not discount the fact thatCall of Duty's developers and publishers have pulled some pretty grand strings; Hans Zimmer was the composer for music inModern Warfare ii and of class, Kevin Spacey (oops) and Kit Harington both lent their likeness and voices to their own respectiveTelephone call of Dutygames. That star power is as well bright forBattlefield.

7 REPLAY VALUE/Diverseness - CALL OF DUTY

BothCall of DutyandBattleground have brief single-player sections which usually only last a few hours-- you're lucky if information technology reaches six on regular difficulty. So, that leaves us with nothing only multiplayer to compare replayability.

Based on the variety of game modes alone, and of course, a Boxing Royale fashion, we'd take to give this 1 to Telephone call of Duty. Those perks and weapons skins are as well awesome in their own right. Battlefield's replayability is likewise quite commendable, but the manner you tin seamlessly go in and out of Phone call of Duty'due south shorter sessions gives a better feeling of achievement... plus Nazi zombies are fun.

6 LEGACY - Describe

The outsetCall of Dutygame was a Earth War 2 shooter aptly namedCall of Duty and was released back in 2003. As for the firstBattlefieldgame, information technology'sBattlefield 1942, released in 2002; same setting simply different formats every bit1942was more multiplayer-focused. Information technology's safe to say that no one copied the other though both eventually branched out to modern warfare.

With both games existence released only a year apart from 1 another, their legacy is a necktie among the gaming community. There are 15Call of Dutygames in total whileBattlegroundhas 11 titles to its chugalug. Both take also had their own share of disappointing titles.

5 ACTION - Battleground

When information technology boils down to which of these get-go-person shooters (FPS) are the shootiest, it's a tough call. Both games require your pinpoint precision and catlike reaction times.Call of Duty'south requirements is a bit more arcadey since the maps are pocket-size and you're supposed to have maximum tactical awareness.

As for Battlefield games, skilful eyesight and strategic placement is a must if yous desire to exist able to exceed. Both games have guns that also feel authentic and impactful (every bit far as video game guns become) and at that place'due south no doubting the satisfaction they bring upon pulling the trigger. Then again, vehicular gainsay adds a whole new layer of activeness and destruction to Battlefield, so it wins.

4 ACCESSIBILITY - CALL OF DUTY

With both games being FPS, they don't exactly have a steep learning bend. You point and then you shoot until the pixels you lot're aiming at disappear into a red mist. Information technology'southward not rocket science. BetweenTelephone call of DutyandBattleground, notwithstanding, we'd take to requite this one to the quondam. Information technology's a lot more coincidental and the controls are certainly tighter (though less realistic).

Meanwhile, forBattleground games, in that location are also several layers of unwritten rules yous must follow especially if you want your squad to win in multiplayer-- you can't just run effectually randomly running and gunning anyone with a different uniform. Based on experience, more kids cullCall of DutythanBattlefield,so there.

iii SCALE - Battlefield

When it comes to ambition, both games are no stranger to doing it m. This is most evident in their single-player aspects, especially when it comes to World War II shooters. BothTelephone call of DutyandBattlefield take an impressive collection of WWII games every bit well every bit modern and futuristic setting titles.

However, we feel that Battlefield is a lot more progressive with their titles, especially since they even ventured into Earth State of war I and fabricated information technology piece of work. On top of that, their graphics and faithfulness to actual war both in single-role player and multiplayer (64-player maps) are astounding and more than thoughtful.

It's non just the gameplay or other innate aspects of a game which make information technology appealing. Sometimes, the community plays huge office in keeping the magic. This is especially true for multiplayer-focused games likeCall of DutyandBattlefield. A community tin make or intermission the game for others. As it is, information technology seems theBattlefieldwins in this department.

Its community is simply more mature and more beholden of history and teamwork. Example in point wasBattlefield 1'southward community; it organized its own ceasefire in-game in honor of the real-life armistice which happened back in World State of war I, specifically the Christmas Truce of 1914. It was an unofficial ceasefire where British and German troops laid downwards their arms and sang Christmas carols to one another instead of fighting.Battleground 1players successfully commemorated such an consequence. Good luck finding something like that inTelephone call of Duty games.
