Call of Duty or Battlefield Bad Company?

johnny_adidas

I havent really played an online FPS since battlefield 1942, and even at that i didnt play that too much. They just arent my type of game so i never got interested enough to buy a decent gaming pc (and dont intend to, even though i know these would be much better versions of the games)
however i downloaded the PS3 Bad Company demo recently and enjoyed it alot to be honest. was great to just pick it up n play and found it much more rewarding than MGO

So now i intend to buy a game to rid myself of those occasional homicidal tendancies so my question is which is the better option (not having played COD)

to early to call this one cod4 is a really good game and its has taken alot of hours of my life away from me but bad company is looking very good aswell. i downloaded the demo on 360 (wouldn't imagine there is much difference in ps3 or 360 versions) and i really enjoyed it. i will definatly be buying bad company. i havn't voted on your poll yet as i will have to play bad company first.

Im not sure the online will be as good as cod4, but it will be a change which is good!

get both if you can , download the demo of battlefield from the psn store as it has singleplayer and multiplayer parts to it.

Is it any use?

I've been pretty psyched up about bad company for a while now, looks excellent and COD4 is getting, well, a bit boring.

I think the multiplayer is very good but I did not think the singleplayer was up to much, but that might change when i play the full version and it's a change from COD4 .

I picked the gold version up today in zavvi for €70 for my son's birthday tommorow

i know. it would have been good to have them in call of duty. on the other hand the maps in cod are not big enough to have vehicles in them.

is bad company out today by the way?

Voted Cod4 although I've never played an BF since 1942 and a good bit of DC.

Too many reasons to play this game, frankly an amazing shooter.

COD will always be a super game but have not played it in awhile as i got bored.
Bad Company looks, sounds and the MP from what i've played seems to be a tad better than COD.

The sounds are brill and with extra vehicles on just the one demo map has my thumbs up for this one.

I haven't. Used the a good few times now

After playing them both Ive got to say that Battlefield is not even in the same league as COD4 online. COD4 is a million miles better then it. Im going to trade it in when I finish the single player because the online is so poor.
Graphics arnt great
Feels clunky
Takes ages to get to the enemy base then you get killed
Takes 10-15 seconds to respawn, yawn
Snipers are way too powerful
Only one game type to play, not even a deathmatch?!
Cant mute headsets
etc etc

Cant get over the fact that people said this would be better then cod4. Its laughable to even compare them. Even Resistance is way better online and thats over a year old.

Not yet.

Too early to call which is better, if BC is half as good as the BF's on the PC, it'll beat COD4.

By a million miles i don't think so.Thats a piss poor sum up. Regarding the online play, COD4 had nothing but trouble for online play(not even sorted in the patches for all). As great as it is online(thankfully i had no trouble with getting online) a few got fed up with that and traded it in.

Graphics arnt great

?? Disagree with that

Feels clunky

In what way?

Use one of the many vehicles, tanks or even a chopper and you'll get their quicker.
Allows you to select a better type weapon for offencive/defencive or respawn with your squad or base location in the 10sec respawning period.

Snipers are way too powerful

Good so they should be. I think the bolt action is very realistic. No complaints there.

Not yet. Why mute headsets, its all about team work.

What a load of bull and again a piss poor sum up. COD4 is a fantastic game by all accounts for me but BC is in the same league and in fact beats COD4 in lots of ways.
So i guess BC will not figure in your AK47 clan then.

Piss poor sum up?! I was just giving a few reasons why I didnt like the online. Theres no need to be so narky about it.
