This thread will explain to everyone out there, the major differences between Call of Duty and Battlefield. Quite a few people on this forum have been bickering back and forth about which game series is better. Personally I'm on the side of Battlefield, but that won't get in the way of giving you an accurate comparison between the two popular game series.

Call of Duty

1. Call of Duty is the most famous FPS series currently. It's the most famous because since Modern Warfare 2, when the series begun to appeal to the casual audience. Right when they decided to do that, sales begun to rapidly increase. Now appealing to the casual audience wouldn't be a problem, if it didn't decrease the fairness of the game. now I don't care who you are, you know that the quality of Call of Duty games has decreased ever since MW2. However, there have been lots new things added. Customizable killstreaks, tons of new attachments, and new pro-perks. Now when Modern Warfare 2 first came out, everyone was excited about the new features. Call of Duty was skyrocketing in popularity. For the first two months everyone was psyched up about CoD. Then people started to notice weapon imbalance, overpowered killstreaks, and other problems that still plague the series today. So overall Modern Warfare 2, was a big hit financially, even though some people thought it didn't have the quality of the other Call of Dutys. By appealing to the casuals, they don't have to be as precise, because the casuals don't care about the game quality as much, they just like blowing things up. With Black Ops, it's just the same story. Everyone thought it would be better than MW2, and most agree that its not. For some reason IW and 3arc just aren't very good at post-release patches. Sure, they've had title updates, but they haven't really fixed what matters, they haven't fixed what most of the fans really want fixed. However, Black Ops DID bring nazi zombies back, the wildly popular arcade game mode, so far I haven't heard any real complaints about that, and in my opinion zombies is the best part about Black Ops. Now that Call of Duty has been summed up, with a little bit of bias from me.

Battlefield 3

Battlefield has been releasing top quality multiplayer gameplay since 1942. LOL get it? well anyway Battlefield isn't as popular of a series as Call of Duty is, however, many agree that it provides much better gameplay. Some believe the reason Battlefield isn't as popular is because it's harder to play and get used to, and its a little slower paced. then Call of Duty. Battlefield games require teamwork, communication, and essentially knowing what your doing. Everything is large scale in Battlefield, as well. The maps are huge, and they'll be even bigger in BF3. Most Battlefield games also come with an open beta, which usually helps the multiplayer experience. Battlefield is also great with post-release patches. Battlefield 2 was updated in 2009, four years after its launch. Pretty much everything in Bad Company 2, DICE's most recent game, is balanced. On the other hand, battlefield games aren't released as frequent as CoD games, so DICE would have an extended period of time to perfect their game. Another really good thing about Battlefield is that their offering a service similar to Call of Duty ELITE, but theirs is for FREE.

E3

But all of that above still doesn't necessarily decide which game will be better. E3 decided for a LOT of people though. Below I'm going to post all gameplays from both BF3 and MW3. From this point on, you must decide for yourself, which game is better. Keep in mind that both developers put forward their best for the community to see.
