why does everyone argue over if bf4 or cod ghosts is better?

[Bastard Man]

they are both very good games

[bubbacho]

Because COD multiplayer is more of an arcade game you need a quarter to play. That's where the term "console kiddies" comes from. B4 is more realistic and involved where tactical and squad play is emphasised. I love COD for the singleplayer but for online gaming B4 is the game for me. And of course there is Arma, the ultimate dork fest.

It's just a pissing contest.

I believe that term originated from little kids playing consoles.

You can blame halo for that more than CoD.

I prefer BF4 over CoD (although the last CoD game I owned was BO) but I really hate this reasoning. BF is about as realistic to military combat as Kirby's Dreamland. Both CoD and BF are extreamly arcade-y and arguing which one is more realistic (and thus more "fun") is arguing opinion.

More realistic != more fun.

"More" realistic is key, Arma is the king of realism to the point of sheer boredom. In B4 there is just more stuff to do via jets, choppers, armor and so on. The Zombies in BO were an absolute blast and the new alien mode this time around was fun. It would be nice to have more than one map.

Plus from a player standpoint the culture of B4 is different. You do have the occasional jet hog who will immediately plow the vehicle into the side of a mountain but for the most part you are dealing with an older crowd (college up). In COD its jam packed with mouthy twelve year olds.

That's exactly my point. I see many people argue that more realistic is more fun believing that games like BF and CoD are super realistic. Ultimately, I feel that modern military shooters like CoD and BF have more in common to Quake or Unreal than ARMA or Red Orchestra due to reliance to twitch aiming and quick mobility.

But that’s just my opinion.

I went with bf4 because they offered a beta run before their release. DICE/EA may have their issues, but they were confident in their game as they allowed a free trial before release. I know they were also testing their servers during that time, but I don't remember a cod public beta trial. You really have to be a conscientious buyer with games nowadays.

BF4 stop "realistic" since it has health regenerate and now it go to the point even vehicle can regenerate its health too. more and more arcade in every game. gun mechanic in the game also arcade like COD. recoil may look different but when compare with the real recoil in simulation game base like ARMA or even games made by Tripwire Studio. BF4 is just like Quake.

and finally, even BF has bullet drop system. in the end it is just a bullet drop for arcade mode. play any game with real sniper experience will see the huge different.

so...in the end when come to realistic both COD and BF is just on the same boat. it is just what you like the most.

[Bastard Man]

good points but still they are both equally great to me i dont see why people take sides

Pretty much this. Kids will be kids.

i own black ops 2 which runs fine and ghosts which barely runs at all and for battlefield i own BFBC 2 BF3 BF4 all are the pc versions of the games (note that ghosts and bf4 are the only games that run badly)

Far from it, its more tactical, and requires more knowledge and finess to be able to learn the game wholy but its equally unrelistic.

BF4 is a demanding game, that can be understood to run badly atm, Ghosts, not so much that's a result of poor effort done by IW

[Bastard Man]

i dont think any game within 10-15 years will be able to capture a realistic combat situation

[Bastard Man]

arma 2 OP arrowhead for me was close but the controls were terrible and the engine was bad
