Gaming Fandom on Both Franchises
Gaming fandom feels that Call of Duty is more fast-paced and requires less teamwork than Battlefield. This is a great feature for gamers who love to play solo. Battlefield is a bit slow and heavy on the touch. Some feel that Call of Duty is unrealistic and does not cater to reality, while Battlefield is like a war documentary and showcases more real stuff.
Gamers who love teamwork, making strategies, and showing commitment, will always go for Battlefield. Call of Duty gamers prefer to finish the task relying on ammunition. The online feature works more smoothly in CoD. CoD also has zombies in its online games, which has a divided view among gamers.
The cold war between Call of Duty and Battlefield fans is eternal. But for the moment, both are on par. Battlefield is going strong with its last release – Battlefield 2042, while Call of Duty’s latest game is Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0. The latter will also have a new release on 10th November 2023 – Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
