FPS - Battlefield v CoD

Right guys ineresting xmas coming up in the battle of FPS.

BF about to release in a week (unless you got pre-order early access)

CoD Vanguard released last week.

BF has a lot of hype based on it after a very disappointing BF5 (I also was not a fan) games on the back of the last 2 years are far more interested in playing larger scale FPS games now.

CoD Vanguard came out back on the MW2019 engine that had a lot of positive response. And will have fans hyped for the new pacific map comig out wiht warzone.

Having now played both here is my views. Having being a long time fan of both (played BF since Bad company didnt play 1942) played every CoD going back to original MW. (nothing before that) I am 100% multiplayer focused, not really fussed about campaigns.

I'm still playing Apex Legends!

Have no interest in COD, they've been churning out rubbish for years.

na cold war was decent (albeit a terrible scorestreak system, spot the theme!)
I hated MW for much of the reasons given above.

Cold War & WW2 were the last two CoD's i actually enjoyed and WW2 had to be completely revamped before it became decent enough. the only reason I got Vanguard this year was for warzone as I it just seems to get further and further away from what I want.

This current one is horrific granted it will improve with patches but at its core it just isnt for me.

Modern warfare is still mine and my wife's go to game when we play together.

I prefer coldwar to MW however the split screen on it is far worse in terms of frame rate and textures so we play that.

One major, and I do mean major benefit of cod war was the fact that they completely reset and overhauled the zombie storyline.

The different game modes and ability to play a twenty round game really worked well.

The Easter eggs are much more better placed as well, they are still challenging enough to mean that everyone on your team has to be on the same page, but not full of completely over the top ridiculous steps you could never do unless every single person was on the same page all the time.

Uts easily the best zombie experience since probably the original blackops

Yeh for me it's BF all the way - 2042 is ok......but Portal is where it's at, and I can only image it's gonna get bigger. Seriously I have played more BF3 and 1942

But really there is soooo much content, and just wait for people to really get their teeth into Portal - we are gonna see some messed up and super cool stuff.

I primarily play with a Warzone crowd, and most those have said the same thing, Vanguard is fine, but they are already getting done with it and really want the new WZ map, and hoping that does enough as quite a few stopped playing CoD as regularly and were starting to wane on Warzone.

Only downside to BF is the crossplatform isn't so crossplatform, so a big part of my friend are on last gen

yeah core game mode is ok, nothing to special... a bit meh..its battledfield and considering the problem they have had its a reasonably stable launch (for battlefield standards anyway) Like you said Portal is where its at and will continue to grow once people get their teeth into it properly, its gonna be great.

Both out for a while now, anyone had both? Which has been better received or are they both garbage?

Both pretty broken right now, find I am playing more Warzone purely because BF fooked the crossplatform completely (though I need to see if it's fixed now) as before PC/PS5/XSX played together, and PS4/OX played the cut down versions. However apparently 128 players is so broken they decided to turn it off for Xmas.

Warzone is pretty much just warzone - new map is fun but buggy as hell and everyone can still play together but by all accounts the old gen is struggling. Vanguard though is just pure garbage, oy saving grace is the campaign and even that's ok. Come back in 6 months, both games have potential but now isn't great.

Yes sir, all CoD stuff is cross-platform as far as I am aware. This would only be an issue for Battlefield 2042 that unless has changed is not cross-gen
