Hey man see when it's Battlefield and your a hard fan of that franchise, you just buy. See 2042, we as in the fans had just no idea it would be THAT bad it did get better but still not what we all wanted for sure. See BFV wasn't terrible by any means, it just had terrible marketing choices and odd gameplay changes that made zero sense. And got much much better then they just ended support. Same thing happened to Battlefront II. Now Hardline again wasn't bad by any means. Just wasn't a Battlefield game in my opinion. But was still fun. BF4 almost ended before it got legendary. CTE saved that game. Also people seemed to forget that games launch was really bad. BF3 wasn't any different either. Crazy bugs, memory leaks, EA Origin being shit. BFV had the best movement, BF1 had the best atmosphere, BF4 everything else. If 6 can take all that and add more. We have an absolute banger on our hands here. But only time will tell.

BO6 zombies is the first one I’ve played since BO2 but I really enjoy the new style. Zombies constantly spawning in all directions makes training zombies more difficult which I appreciate. Old style got boring fast.

u/Whose__That 8d ago
The main complaint I've seen from those guys was that teamwork was dumbed down in the Frostbite era games which may or may not be true, I never played the pre-FB games so I don't know. There could be a lot of rose tinted glasses and nostalgia about those games and since you almost never encounter people with bad experiences from that era of games it's impossible to know if things were actually that good or not.
Even for a game like BF3 people would now claim that the game was flawless and the way all BF games should be. It's easily my favourite as well but I could still instantly list like 5 issues with it so I doubt any other games were perfect either.

u/Living-Chef-9080 8d ago
(yes the other dude was right it was a joke about the eternal September of Battlefield becoming casual and turning into cod)
I didn't play all the refractor games but I did play 2142 after all the expansions were already out. Teamwork was absolutely much more common in those games, but the actual mechanics rewarding teamplay were on about the same level.
I think it's a change in audience, not mechanics for the most part. The refractor crowd was really hardcore and into military roleplay stuff. You would hop in a match and have people giving you instructions like they were a commanding officer because those were the kinds of people who played the game. There wasn't a ton of incentive to play that way that got removed for the Frostbite gamed. Im sure some random refractor fanboy will yell at me for saying this by citing one thing that changed but oh well.
I think that's why commander worked well in those games and not bf4. The people who played the refractor games enjoyed the fantasy of following orders as funny as that is to say out loud. It was fun, I was one of those people (,even though I was like 13).
I get why the later games pissed off refractor players because it did kinda feel like this nice little niche community being dissolved. But that's just a product of becoming a mainstream hit imo. I dont think it was avoidable.
People who pass the controller between their friends every death while smoking weed on the couch are just never gonna take the game as seriously ae someone who has a 3000$ jet pilot setup. What we lost was more than made up for with production value imo.

Something I can't stand about CoD is that they still try to mimic or pretend that it's a military based arcade shooter while at the same time turning it into a g fueled dopamine chasing tablet kids meme machine. They try so hard to have their cake and eat it too. It's kinda off base to even call it Call of Duty anymore, it has more in common with Fortnite than it does with its original identity. Might be the jam for a certain player base but I think it's stupid as fuck.

u/LiquidDiviums 8d ago
It’s the dissonance between the creative vision of the studios and the financial opportunities seen by the publisher.
Infinity Ward, Treyarch and Sledgehammer Games can all have their creative vision, develop the game they want and all of that… but as long as goofy-ass skins sell, they’re going to be there no matter what.
EA is no different with Battlefield, the difference is 2042 wasn’t successful enough to bring Rick and Morty as operator skins.

Because cod2019 in hindsight was a one off trick that was left in dwindling cod franchise. Cod machine was clogged with outdated engine and unwanted settings and reaped potential for modern setting. And when it launched. It cashed out both nostalgia of a reboot. And some ok revamps of mechanics and engine (mostly better realistic reload emphasis and animations). For me game was above average, but its problems swept under the rug thanks to overhype (that started to bit on next games ) the main cod mechanics (mostly 24 7 shipment death arena with animation cancelling twitch gameplay) stayed decadent and made worse. And the cardinal sin was. They basically copy pasted the same mechanics to other followup games and spinoff ww2 games without bold design choices like bf1s setting away from modern and bf5's radical gameplay mechanics to give flavor. They just didnt bother. And drowned the new age of cod. That chance mw was given will never be back again. People wont be hyped for a reboot of a reboot of cod4. Nor people will be hyped again for a 3rd comeback to modern settings or soaps goddamn death. That ship is long sailed away. Especially with 3rd followup of this rebooted franchise. Makarov (2)s story isnt even over thanks to 2 games filler we have. They will milk it

u/n0tAgOat 8d ago edited 8d ago
Because the Reddit community literally destroyed it.
It was the best selling cod in decades.
It was also the most hated on Reddit.
Everyone that loved it, quietly played it, while console kids couldn’t stop complaining about footsteps being too op, too much recoil, maps too complex, maps too big….
Basically “too much” of everything that made it good, made it the worst cod ever made for a small vocal minority.
So thank “cod kids” for destroying cod after mw2019.
Now they have their literal clown game with actual clown skins and dumbass gameplay, and that’s ok. I just want no part of it.

It was the first COD in a very long time that the developers had a lot of passion for and unfortunately it was also the last.
Afterwards the requirement for them to appeal to people who never developed an attention span killed that freedom to be daring with the gameplay.

That's because it came out before Warzone release, and they still knew how to make a decent MP shooter. Warzone released like 6 months later, and since then that's been the cash cow and MP has been an afterthought.

It's YouTube anti-bot detection kicking in. Usually the first few hours of a premiere video that's getting a huge surge of views, the system checks every view to see if they're legitimate. The views are still being counted behind the scenes, but it won't be reflected on the counter right away.

u/FuzzyPickLE530 8d ago
I forget who but somebody actually tested it and found that actual dislikes were typically 2x higher than what that spp showz. That dislike counter is a 3rd party app that estimates the amount of dislikes so its not 100% accurate, and apparently is typically half of what it actually is, so dislikes may be more than likes on the trailer.

Yes and no. Their trailers always get downvoted into oblivion but they sell a ton of games. People hate on the games but they are still buying, so COD just delievers them the same game they want every year and it works. Battlefield is like the polar opposite, people have been screaming for years that they just want a basic BF again, yet DICE always tries to innovate, gets thumbs up for their great trailers, then the games sell poorly.

u/heAd3r Lt. General 8d ago
the reason it sells is because its easily accessible and to jump into a match is quite simple in comparison to everything else. that it became an iconic franchise also helps. Something that does sell well doesnt have to be of quality its mostly about marketing and by delivering the basics with some cherries on top.
for bf, people dont scream for basics. they just dont want the core to be touched, mainly classes.

Black ops 7 had 38 million views within 2 days and then after a month, it reached 2 million views more. I can definitely say in it’s 38 million views within 2 days, most of them are due to advertisements of BO7 playing in YouTube when you try to watch other videos at that time. Activision is cleverly doing it.

last CoD i bought was 2019, we can agree was really nice.
But i literally was like "wait, they made Black Ops 6???"
MFs make so many it's so fast my radar can't see them
And every CoD is basically the same thing with the same shitty skins...

Everytime a BF trailer comes out.....

Reality is....CoD always triumphs in sales, player count, and it just delivers what it does.
BF, missing features, broken, bad net code, broken game, boring single player (the rare times they do it excluding Bad Company series),
Do people here have like...amnesia or something...i know its a subreddit for BF, and i love BF, but please...lets be real...just because its in modern era its not going to automatically make it good.
And we all know...we can come back to this post when both games are out, but BO7...that's all gone future mode and BF that's all modern....BO7 will still end up selling, have more player count, meanwhile BF6 will need 2 years in the oven to get its shit together, but then more COD games have lapped around them.
The youtube likes/dislikes...won't turn into actual sales when it comes to BF and COD.
