COD fans, what keeps you from switching to Battlefield?

Fun. Games are about fun. Play whatever games you have FUN with, not whichever games some random snooty internet nerds tell you to play.

Different tastes? The only arguable ones there are graphics and gameplay. Realism? Maybe some people don't like realism. I play both though :PKaze_no_Mirai

This ^^

I play both too but I think overall I enjoy Battlefield more as I like the vehicles and destructive enviorenments ect... I really enjoy setting in a bush with a sniper rifle and just taking guys out and using mortars to kill a bunch of guys held up in a building.

But I like how COD has (particularly BO) has a wide variety of gameplay modes like CTF, zombies, free for all ect... Oh and I think BO has a better campaign than Battlefield. But overall I enjoy Battlefield more for competitive MP

BF doesnt hold your hand like Cod, thats why the 12 year old cod players wont switch

Gamers play games for fun, fanboys arn't real gamers. Fanboys are just people with self esteem issues taht think massive corporations care about them on a personal level and try to justify their insecurities on their system purchase by bashing the other one.

If people played both systems there would'nt be any fanboys. But alas do to the socio-economic situation of things people are stuck with just one. I find it pretty funny how someone can be an adult and be a fanboy, that is just SAD!

Having a prefrence doesn't make you a fanboy (I prefer the PS3 but I don't hate 360, it's just a matter of taste). But bashing another system so you can try and convince yourself that your prefrence is "better" than some one elses is what makes you a fanboy. Fanboys are insecure of their system and are jealous of what the other one has, deep down they wish they had the other one but they don't want to admit it.

I have been gaming online since 99...I have yet to play a game where people actually play as a team. Like you would in real life...NEVER...What I think some of you "team work" people mistake as team work is..."you are in a gun battle with someone"..."your team member comes around corner and shoots the guy that was shooting you"...You both are still alive...HIGHT FIVE!!!...You go on your merry way thinking "WOW, that was some great teamwork"...BUT instead the guy that helped out was just shooting the guy to get the kill..IT just so happened he saved YOU..THAT is what happens 9/10 times

To many people here have never played or seen BF 1942, Vietnam, BF2, or 2142 and somehow claim Bad Company is remotely simmilar to their playstyles and content

I just don't like the way BF plays. The controls are really heavy and annoying in my opinion, and they graphics always have this weird grainy filter that looks horrible. That, and they STILL haven't managed to do a decent campaign after all these years.

This. 100 % true.

Fanboys claiming people prefer CoD due to it being more simple, or because of killstreaks, are simply insecure trolls.

They prefer CoD because they like having fun.

Nobody would play CoD if it were boring, even if it was easy obtaining kills etc. CoD is simply fun, and BF isn't. That's why COD sells, and BF falls behind. Easy as that. Activision knows that the gamers want, and DICE just want them to like the game, they don't care for gamers.

Whilst I agree that nobody would play if it were boring, BF is still fun, objectively. I understand if you don't find it to be, but BC2 is still heavily populated online (I own both the 360 and PC versions). Furthermore, BC2 has sold remarkably well across all platforms, but obviously nowhere near CoD.

Nah, Dice knows nothing. They're simply amatuers. I'd be glad if they started doing other types of games, and leave FPS to IW and Treyarch, IMO.

So let me guess. You only played Bad Company 2 right?

people primarily like CoD's difficulty for 2 major reasons

they feel competative, and it massages their ego's and they can stupidly try and e-peen measure.

They are pretty much the same thing people...one is just a little faster playing..made for moving,and aiming faster. One is a little more slowed down. I would almost compare BF to KZ with the pace..and heavier gun play..jmo

The majority of people (~25 million) play COD because it's fun.

Then there are some (~5 million) who play it for competetive reasons and or other causes.

Most of the fun comes from how abhorently easy it is to do well, it instils a false sense of being good.

I tip my hat to someone on GH who can play expert + drums (which is basically playing a double bass setup kit abliet more simplistic).

You can argue the fun card as fun can be a very weak term, also theres only ever around 500k people on (live) at peak times now shows 1.considerable drop off if were going by your numbers and 2. your basing off pure sales.Really doubt all of that "25 million" bought it for its riveting single player which serves as a glorified tutorial for the game itself in many ways.

Killzone 2 had some good team work, or at least it seemed one of the reasons I enjoyed it so much.

I play both but COD is faster paced and because of that somewhat more fun in shorter squirts. To top it off BF is more of a team game than COD where you can pretty much go it alone and only have allies as someone who you do not SHOOT more so than in BF where you rely on them to play there class correctly, cover, Mark, capture, and complete objectives. Yes this is present in COD but to be honest even in CTF, or Search and Destroy you still feel like a bit of a lone man.
