Black ops 2 Some kind of Future war game.

[the dark side]

@Kreekaron. I will openly admit that spelling and grammar are not my strong suits. its why, when i do story writing, i tend to fire up dragontype. Its just, well, on a forum, i prefer to use the keyboard, sure, it leads to spelling, capitaliseation and grammer going out of the window at 100 miles per hour, but, at the end of the day, i cannot improve my typing unless i try.

@ johnbox. mutiplayer isnt the only issue with COD, although all those issues, especially all the screaming trolls, are why i cannot play online multiplayer , in any game, be it Serious Sam Or Forza Motorsport, without having, and i am Not joking here, a nervous breakdown, so i stick purely to a games campain, the single player is even worse.

As for Battlefeild, especially BC2 and BF3, i am sorry if this comes across as seriously Ar**y, but, in terms of the Single Player campaign, wich is all i am interested in, what is the actual difference between the last 2 or 3 battlefeild games and any "modern warfare" series Call of Duty?

from what i have seen of them, the similarities are,.

1. They are both made primarily for the Xbox 360 Console so they have extremly outdated technology runing them, meaning poor graphics with no Anti Aliansing, muted sounds, and frequent game breaking glitches.

2. they both use casual gameplay elements, such as Regenerating Health, 2 Weapon Limit, Squads (wich mean you dont even have to shoot the enemy yourself), the dreaded "Press X to not Die" (thanks Yahtzee!) Quick Time Event etc.

3. they both constantly "hold your hand" with waypoints, corridor level design, Constant "PRESS (THIS) TO" controll hints.

4. they both have short(less than 2 hours), badly written stories that consist of Angry muscly American special forces types who swear a lot, needlessly, fighting off a Russian backed WMD empowered attack on the United States.

5. they both have completley incorrect reload animatics, especially on Handguns. (this does NOT apply to BC2, that got most of its animatics right from what i can see on yourtube, although, for soem reason, the player isnt "racking" (working the bolt) the assault rifles)

6. they both have NON optional Dynamic Scaling (making them unplayable for users who have "focal distraction issues")

7. they both use the "one eye open" Aim Down Sights as used by the US army wich in a real battle will get you killed faster than a rat in a brewery, instead of the 2 eyes open british version wich increases survivability and gives a visual effect not unlike the old "down the side" zoom aim (although i cannot serve in the army personally, bad hip, mentally screwed, amongst other issues, but my father did serve and has informed me of how Unrealistic the modern "realistic" shooter often is, even the 2 guin limit is wrong, as, if they use the slings, a soldier can carry over 4 weapons, with ammo, as it still comes below the 300 LBS a Soldier is trained to carry!)

8, they both focus on multiplayer to the detriment of the lifespan for the single player experience

9, they both, (BF3 only in battlefeilds case.) use... (shudders) Dubstep...

. so i am afraid i must ask, what is the Difference, in "Single Player" mode, Between the last 3 battlefeilds and Call of Duty, as all i see in battlefeild videos, i am sad to say, is a "Call of Duty clone"? meaning all it is, to me, is Call of Duty in an EA Box. so its as bad For the games industry as Call Of Duty. its still going to drag it into the mud when it collpases under the weight of too many inept "modern shooters" a genre wich has been done to death and is rapidly loosing popularity.
