Call of Duty not representative of military life, says Ghosts producer
"There an enormous amount of appreciation for what [veterans] do," Rubin told Game Informer. "In no way do we feel we are a representation of what their lives are like. We are trying to be a cinematic movie experience based on authentic equipment and authentic experience. A lot of the stuff that we show in the game has been done by someone, but it's not a representation of what they do or it's not an equivalent in any way of what they do. We're just trying to make a fun movie."
This is clearly a different approach than the one EA took with Medal of Honor.
Though it's a fictional experience, Hirshberg does note that veterans are included in the development process. "We try to make our games authentic, we try to get the feel right. And then, also, there are guys who come in and do our mo-cap for us and become actors in the game, do the stunts in our commercials, and certainly, there are some high-level consultants who have some harrowing stories that have been some of the inspiration for some of the missions and levels in our games."

I don't care about any game being realistic, all I care about is balance and gameplay. I'm tired of Snipers winning gun fights at all ranges against people.

IllustratedOasisupuserShen BF is realistic and CoD is an arcade.
Yes magical healing bags throughout the map, reviving paddles that can heal you after getting shot in the head multiple times, and lets not forget being able to take 10+ bullets to the upperbody and living. Yeah battlefield is very realistic...
Their called medics and every soldier would carry a small medical bag anyway. Also, hand held personal defibrillators are available to buy for anyone.
On and it's called body armour! It's there to save you from multiple kill shots!!
=/ Why do you protect cod when they openly admit to being unrealistic??? Give it up!
Body Armor for your head, where can I acquire this?
Defibrillators revive people who have a bullet lodged in their brain?
Infantry soldiers trained as medics?
Oh you are so wrong.
Body Armor for your head, where can I acquire this?
Answer: compared with what? a perk that allows to flinch less when being shot, or maybe it's the perk that allows you to take less explosive damage, allowing you to survive most explosive weapons that are detonated or shot right beside you.

more realistic than being able to become completely cool-blooded?
Infantry soldiers trained as medics?
More realistic than infantry being able to see and hack equipment through walls? exactly.
Face it, compare with cod battlefield is a simulator.
Oh YOU are so wrong.

Erm a helmet?
I never said all soldiers were trained medics, but they all carry a small basic kit.
If your going to nit pick every comment then this is pointless. EVERYONE agrees bf is closer to the real thing and now Activision admit cod is more of a movie than a true representation of a war zone....but yet people like you still won't accept it.
No game is ever going to come close to being shot at, but it's common knowledge and widely accepted across the industry that bf is by a mile, closer than cod.
Even games like Operation Flashpoint are closer than cod, if you can't admit it, then all I'll say is enjoy the next cod and you'll be very welcomed into bf multiplayer when you decide you want a bit more.
Battlefield is just as unrealistic as CoD..
The only realistic difference I can add is from Battlefield, and that's bullet drop and speed, and even that's not fully realistic because you don't have to acquire for wind speeds or anything.
Couple off the top of my head;
1.No Kill-streaks
2.No unrealistic perks (like being cold blooded, or invisible to air support, ect.), i mean, carrying abit make ammo or another grenade is realistic (which is what bf allows)
3.More realistic gun sway and recoil.
4.Building can have random wall/chunks out of it (and on bf4, taken down completely)instead of a piece of cardboard that doesn't move even with rpgs.
5.You can fully control all vehicles (except ac130, because you can't be the driver on it)(ie set a heli down anywhere) cod you can only circle around in helicopters, try landing,oh wait.
6.All vehicles don't randomly explode or leave for no reason after a while.
7.Missiles have an original point of fire (bf4) instead of magically appearing from no-where, in the prefect position to rain down on the enemy.
8. Bipods available for guns and usable (no a flattish surface)
Haven't played bf or cod in a while, there are many more realistic factors in BF4, let-me guess your mainly a fan of COD, that's why you can't think of many differences?

danb95ha so true after 25 kills without dying you get a nuke which is a couple billion in dollars makes sense COD that's why you never argue about halo because its meant to be realistic-CP-iTzKevinFTW-CP CoD is pretty damn close to reality....
Ha ha...ha........ha you made me laugh. You dont know war at all after you just said that no if ands or butts cod is nothing not 1 thing close to reality,
You actually do not know anything at all. Hardcore is almost 100% realistic. It's basically a one shot kill (unless with some pistols, like in real life) and you have no constant radar on your screen (unless you have a drone above you, like in real life).
You are definitely the biggest idiot on this forum.
Yeah, the ability to call an airstrike after x amounts of kills happens all the time in real life, or that nuke you get after killing 25 people.Also the whole re spawn thing, happens everyday.

Or you can't replicate a veterans battles because you set your game in 2020, a year that hasn't even happened yet. -.- Stupid man...

Both games are extremely unrealistic I don't know how you can argue for either

generalhunter COD was quite realistic until they started added dumb kill streaks which started to make noobs camp I loved the COD4 days when people didn't care about kill streaks or camping
You just have to adapt to the way the game is made and the way the people play, than everything will be just fine.
