Battlefield and call of duty ( whats the difference) ?

Having got both BF4 and Cod: AW for Christmas on PS4, I would say go for BF4.

Both have pretty good graphics, but COD still feels like every other COD game, constant spawn->die->spawn->die->spawn->die. It's still fast paced, but still suffers from bad respawn positions (you respawn directly in front of people), and largely if you are spotted you are dead - very little you can do to survive.

BF4 you generally feel like you are contributing more, you spend more time alive between respawns (generally), and if you do die, generally if feels "fair", i.e. you weren't in cover.

It's been a while since I played it but would I be right in saying that Battlefront is more comparable to Battlefield in space/tattoine/hoth?

I do remember Dark Forces but didn't play it online. Thinking about it, when was the last Dark Forces/Shadow of the empire game? I know there were the Force Unleashed games but not really a fan of the 3rd person and would love to play a massive epic single player Star Wars fps.

Years ago now, they have so much potential with the franchise. They canned that epic Star Wars FPS last year for no real valid reason.

Edit: Well it was valid, just Disney thinking it would be clever to close down LucasArts.

I used to get COD all the time and loved them, decent at them too so that wasn't the issue but I've grown tired of them now. Had BF4 the past year as Ghosts was pathetic and really enjoyed it.

Bought COD:AW for the PS3 and it's ok, maps are pretty terrible and it's hard to get any run of decent gameplay going as peple can appear from anywhere due to the exo abilities.

Recently got a PS4 and I'm not buying AW however I've just ordered BF4 from PSN for £22.49 and I'm genuinely excited about getting home to play it tonight!

Takes some getting used to if you're used to COD but when you do it's much more rewarding. However prestiging does give cod something to work towards which I think is missing in BF4.
 
If you have a Xbox One you have the third option of Titanfall. I am still going to get BF4 at some point as I have played them all since 1942 but waiting till the premium edition becomes cheap.

Titanfall offers something different and is not as frustrating as COD.
 
BF has big maps, CoD has small ones.
CoD has kill streaks, BF has vehicles.
BF and CoD both have camping sniper ****s.
 
Do it, love it and it's such a better game on the ps4 than on the ps3 (obvioudly I suppose but I was shocked at the difference!)
 
I have BF4 on 360 then brought a PS4 just after Christmas along with BF and the difference is unreal, I'd say it more or less the same as the PC version, obviously not as good visually. I also enjoy CoD but with this new one it seems I keep on playing against people from other countries who either camp, quick scope or look for ways to get outside the map. I enjoy them both, probably BF more, for different reasons.

BF has both big and small maps.

It has the domination mode for those that don't feel comfortable with the 64 player conquest large game mode. Most of the maps in BF4 require you to be good with at least one vehicle to enjoy. If you never intend on driving anything and just want to infantry you're better off in domination.

If you want a halfway house, then try rush which is 32 player and has a few vehicles in it, but still lots of infantry game play.
 
Call of Duty - fast paced, reminds me a lot of Unreal Tournament, bit gimmicky though - the perks and kill streaks.

Battlefield - slower paced, but more rewarding, doesn't favour those with good 'twitch reactions' as its a pretty level playing field; someone lording it up in a chopper? RPG them!

Of the two series, I'm a Battlefield fan for sure - played them all, except 2142 and the Xbox version - I just think they're better, having the larger maps and land/sea/air vehicles, just add that little more to the game.

Don't get me wrong, I like CoD - but feel that the multiplayer went downhill after MW2, now I only play SP on them.

Sadly though, I think both franchises are just being pumped out to us fans, as quickly as possible, with not much added and often a lot broken (Battlefield 4!); and we keep buying into them.

Ultimately, BF4 is cheap enough now to give it a crack - I wouldn't bother with the premium pass though.
