99.9 % of games are fun to play. It would say it's because of extensive marketing and peer pressure.

Yangire

Is marketing the reason millions STILL play it 1 year after release? :lol: No, the marketing has long ago disappeared.

It's FUN.

And no, most games aren't fun to play. Most games are interesting in the beginning, and then they start to bore you. That is not the case with COD.

The reason COD is more popular than the rest, is because it's MORE FUN TO PLAY, period. They aren't forced to play, it's because they think it's FUN.

So, COD is more fun to play than most shooters, the numbers speak for themselves, and the people don't play because they are forced, they think it's fun. FACE IT.

I shouldn't bite but whatever.

COD having more fans than other games does not mean it's "more fun". When something has a large fanbase that usually means it appeals to a wide variety of people, somethings popularity depends on a few things including how broad the appeal is.

For example pop music is very popular? You know why? It's easy to listen to, your friends listen to it, you don't need to go out and find it, and it has a formula that most people enjoy. That does not make pop music the best kind of music, it just means it appeals to the most people and it's the largest.

OK, let me put it in this way:

more people think COD is more entertaining to play than anything else.

And please, don't bring music into this, you're embarrassing yourself.

Gears 3 is clearly an AAA game, but...

Modern Warfare 3 willl...

(hopefully) outscore it across MetaCritic and GameRankings

outsell it brutally

have a bigger impact on gaming

be more widely anticipated

be a more important launch

have better longevity

be played by millions of players until next instalment (unlike Gears)

have a billion times better multiplayer, weapons, killstreaks etc...

[QUOTE="DangerousLiquid"]

[QUOTE="Phazevariance"] Vehicles are supposed to be unbalanced, think about it, you can't kill a tank with one bullet like you can with a person. Also the range of vehicles in the BF series are quite balanced. Yes, many times more realistic is mroe fun.

I like the added challenge of compensating for bullet drop when playign FPS games, therefore your points about realism not adding to fun are false so those poitns are now reinstated. bigger maps ARE better especialyl when vehicles are involved.

Unfortunately, self ownage is on yourself fella, you failed to provide a lick of proof for anything you 'argued' back besides saying "nuh uh, i say its the other way for the hell of it".

Sorry to say but vehicles in multiplayer add greatly to the fun. Bullet drop adds to the fun, changing terrain and building structures is more fun. Killstreaks are lame and gimmicky and don't add to the fun when they are as common as bullets.

The FAIL is all yours

I don't even need to argue with you. The numbers speak for themselves. 30 million people don't play COD because there is a man pointing a gun to their head, forcing them to do it. They play it because it's FUN. Nobody plays your **** boring BF games. Maybe 500k at most? :lol::lol:

Inb4 "bu..bu..bu...saelz dont mattar!". You guys forget the games ALSO are higher critically acclaimed and have more people playing at once.

This. I don't even know why BF fans are arguing over this fight. MW beats BF in both scores and sales. They are simply beaten as much as they can be beaten. COD is so superior to BF, it's not even interesting.

Now, if it were Halo or Half-Life, it would have been another story, but this... is a finished fight.

Here's why BF > COD:

1. COD has no vehicles worth mentioning and you can't control them, BFBC2 has many, BF2/BF3 have so many its rediculous
2. COD has small maps but BF has huge maps
3. COD guns shoot straight line bullets, unrelistic, BF has bullet drop which is affected by gravity, realistic
4. COD has random spawn points and only teams, BF lets you choose your spawn point and has groups insideteams for better gameplay
5. COD guns make shooting sounds but the guns have no kickback, BF guns have kickback andgive the feeling of actual shooting
6. COD has a console market of 12 year olds forrun and gun, BF has experienced players that want a real challenge with advanced gameplay
7. COD came out in 2003, BF came out in 2002 which means that if anything COD is a BF wannabe game
8. COD killstreaks kill the fun of the game, seeing as you get a killstreak almost every kill or 2, BF doesn't need gimmicks like that to be fun
9. COD has plain sound design, guns sound fake, footsteps are always the same, BF has amazing sound design and everyone knows it
10. COD graphics use an outdated engine, BF series keeps updating with better graphics each generation using newer engines
11. COD console and PC look and feel the same, BF console and PC uses PC's extra hardware for improved graphics over console
12. COD 4 to 8 are reskinned and added killstreaks but otherwise the same game, BF =/= BC (different gameplay and design of gameplay)

There, I just gave you 12 reasons why BF series >>> COD series. Also, its August 20th at 11:00AM... this is a timestamp for you to remember the exact time and date i owned your thread.

1. Vehicles should NOT be in the multiplayer. No balance, and just boring.

2. Huge maps = / = more fun. Does that mean more players = more fun? You FAIL.

3. Battlefield is more realistic, CONGRATULATIONS. More realistic = more fun? Yeah, ARMA is the best game in the world. :roll:

4. This is true. The spawn points in COD can be very bad some times.

5. Once again, more realistic = more fun? NO.

6. Advanced gameplay. :lol: BF is more slow, nothing more. It's not more advanced, just slower and tiring.

7. LOL@CoD wanting to be like BF. The entire industry wants to be COD. Nobody gives attention to BF, sorry.

8. Killstreaks = more fun. That's one of the reasons it's so popular. You know this. :lol:

9. BF has better sound effects. This is true.

10. BF3 > MW3 in graphics. This is true.

11. CoD on the PC looks a lot better than on consoles. You fail.

12. It doesn't matter how much you improve on your last game, if it ends up being BORING TO PLAY. FAIL.

Out of your 12 points, you got 4 that are genuine.

The rest don't, in any way, add up to the fun of the game, which is what games are about.

So, to sum it up:

You have self-owned yourself badly.

DICE can stupidly pour $40 billion into amazing graphics, sound effects and visuals, if it's still boring to play, nobody will buy the game and they will just lose money on it. Stupid EA and Dice. :lol::lol::lol::lol:

[QUOTE="StrongDeadlift"][QUOTE="DangerousLiquid"]

I approve of this ownage!

The arguments CoD haters have been having are ludicrous! They get graphics and visuals, everything else belongs to COD.

I honestly think they hate CoD because they've been nuked too many times. :idea:

Wait... I didn't say the AAA trash thing... I fixed it.

Anyways It's not trash but not AAA either.

turtlethetaffer

Their latest have been AAA (IW's). I doubt this one won't, seeing as how it looks great.

Well I'm talking about IMO, they are far from AAA. Also, who knows, maybe Gamespot will come to their senses and give MW3 a 7.5 because it doesn't change enough. (They did that to Pokemon even though there was alot different about Black and White.)

Maybe they didn't enjoy playing Pokémon? Games are about having fun. If you have fun, you grade it high. If it bores you, the score is lowered. Problem?
