I have played BF2 since it came out, almost 3 years ago now and it still rocks for me. I did play COD4 for around 3 months and it was good but the lack of commander, squad play and chat (TS I know) makes it not as good in my opinion and hence I gave it up.

Anyone else do one or the other or both ?
 
For me it would be battlefield 2, because:

Playable tanks, jeeps, aircraft add so much to the game.
Distinct classes with seperate ablitys.
Bigger maps.
Squad and commander system.

BF has a lot more scope then the current call of duty, and theres nothing like rolling down to a flag in a big tank/apc convoy blasting the crap outa the enemy. Ive been very tempted to buy bf2 again and reinstall it, but Im holding out for bf3 on pc and have bad company on xbox for now.
 
COD4.

Mainly because no matter what ranked server I play BF2 on, my stats don't increase. I've been stuck at PFC with no unlocks for over two years now, and that's with over 2000 hours played on ranked servers alone. :mad:
 
Both are fun, but I prefer COD4 to BF2. I think BF2 was better 'back then', but I don't feel to play it anymore. COD doesn't have to be a "spam fest", just find a good server.

Although, I tried playing Killhouse (stupidly small map) on a huge (can't remember, maybe 50-man) server once... it really was a spam fest, you were lucky to survive for five seconds! Just avoid that kinda stuff.

Hmm cod4 online was alright for abit nice to achieve something for abit, but moved back to bf2 as i missed the vehicles like the cobras and dpv's man i love racing them around Jalalawally and Dalian, fun times.
Have to admit put vehicles in cod4 it would be great as the would be slightly enhanced bf2.

Both my favourite games!! BF2 for the openness, vehicles and not being killed every 20seconds. COD4, because i might actually achieve the highest rank v.soon, killhouse or shipment on a 50-man server free for all, because that's just mental fun :p ATM cod4 for me is still quite new, so I'm playing it quite a lot, I assume i will get bored of it eventual and crawl my way back to BF2 :p
 
COD 4 becuase atm i dont have much time and prefere a pick up and play game with short loading times.
But Bf2 is a very good game.
 
I loved COD4 online until i hit 5 star in < 30 hours :( after that the cramped maps kinda killed it for me, you can't really snipe, the game modes are very similar, you can't escape the spam, again due to map size.
I go on an off BF2 a lot, you get times were its infinitely frustrating and make you want to destroy things among its many bugs, but i still come back as you can play each map so many different ways.
 
Iv tryed both plus CSS and crysis etc blah..

But out of the Two...

Iv only played COD4 Multiplayer, and i have to say its probibly the best shooter for the gamer who likes to be accurate and work in that area.

But on BF2, its more of a skill for the vehicles and if you cant kill via a vehicle then get out as a last resort and shoot the enimy, but the shooting on BF2 doesnt feel like the game has worked on accuracy like CSS and COD4, ie aiming for the head rather than just going BLAHHH with a big spray gun.
but allso over time now that bf2 is a bit old, i feel that it has become a challenge to get into the vehicle, people team kill you just to get into vehicles even on ranked servers which has spoilt it a bit.

But if im honest out of the two if they was both released on the same day and id played both but owned nether, id get BF2 because its bigger etc but not "Better", but this current day iv seen it all on BF2 and how there is teamkilling etc for vehicles, COD4 is the one id get.


And on the other hand, CSS is old but still fun every now and then when you really really are bored, but for a new player who hasnt played it, CSS is still a brilliant game.

And Crysis, another genius game for SINGLE player, where as the multiplayer dont go there unless you are certain you want to play multiplayer for the sake of saying and prooving to people "i have a pc that can run crysis and i play it dayly online!"

Hope ya enjoyed my review there :p
 
loved BF2 back when it first came out but it was ruined by relentless bad patches. don't really play COD4 public though, prefer to scrim every night in a very active PCW environment
