Battlefield 2 Vs. Call of Duty 4

CoD 4 > BF2

 

Call of Duty 4 has better single player mode and multi-player mode.
Single player wise, I'd say the two are not even worth comparison. The COD4 campaign is memorable for any true gamer, it's cinematic and unforgettable! It is indeed one of the best of our generation. Multiplayer wise, COD4 has the RPG feel of good games with the concept of leveling up, as well as the fun addictive gameplay feel of Counter-Strike. All in all, COD4 is king!

Who's the freaking thread necromancer here? Good god.

 

EA/DICE screwed up BF2 beyond repair.

EA SUCKS, they **** up every good game they touch.

 

BF2 was released in 2005. This was when widescreen was emerging as the standard. I don't disagree that BF2 should have patched to support widescreen but it is what it is. BF3 will support widescreen, so guess we just wait until then.

As far as comparing BF2 with COD4 is kind of crazy too. They have completely different gameplay. COD4 is a ride on rails single player shooter with small multiplayer maps without vehicles. BF2 is primarily a multiplayer game with huge maps with the ability to drive or fly vehicles with a large assortment of infantry types.

Being a vetern BF2 player, I was surprised how quickly I got my ass handed to me in COD 4 multiplayer. It wasn't even fun to me. It was all run and gun, no real tactical gameplay. That's fine if you like that kind of game, but not for me. I prefer a little bit slower pace with time to plan and execute a strategy.

Now Frontlines: Fuel of War vs. BF2 is a better comparison. Frontlines has similar gameplay, although it too is more action oriented and no squads. But I find it more fun to play than COD 4 multiplayer... My $0.02

 

EA def. sux big time. So does the BF2 Engine. None the less: The Project Reality Mod makes BF2 a great game. The mod is way better than the original and rly makes BF2 worth buying.

 

I have had much more fun in BF2 and BF2142 vs any other shooter ever. Great level design, great game play. I just loved everything about both games.

Id recommend 2142 since its the newer one, and I did like it better in the long run.

Team Fortress 2 is pretty fun aswell but not nearly as in depth so it wore out fast for me, now that there are user created maps tho I should revisit the game, plus TF2 is a part of the orange box so its only one game you get and probably very cheap as a stand alone purchase.

 

Voted BF2

BF2 wins hands down for me because the amount of teamwork required makes it soo much more interactive to me. I personally cannot stand games where you just spawn-kill-die over and over again and brag about "look at my kill counts"... an example being CS:S/HL2: DM.

Even though BF2 is coded soo badly that you needed at least 2GBs of RAM to play it good, I still play it to this day. The teamwork and vehicle diversity of BF2 wins for me, and I can't help but look forward to BF3.

COD4 on the other hand has a very "cinematic" feel to it and makes a good single player. Haven't had much chance to play COD4 MP but it sounds like a good alternative for when you get bored of BF2.

 

Lol Doodles, you silly necromancer.

 

Call Of Duty 4 for both.

Ever since I installed COD4, I haven't touched BF2, and doubt I ever will again.

My $0.02.

 

It looks like you weren't sure if you spelled "a" right, in that sentence.

Anyway, watch this for the potential of BF2. http://video.google.ca/videoplay?do...uck+and+cover&ei=bmMkSOzBIqi8-AGug4GsDA&hl=en

 

Really, it depends on what you're looking for game wise.

Single player COD4 wins, hands down. The realism of it, the variance of weapons, to include difference equipment you run into on even the same basic system, the dialogue, and other such points compared to Battlefield 2's honest lack of a single player prove this.

Now comes the debate about multiplayer. COD4 is good as a squad based shooter. A more realistic, detailed version of CS/CSS/etc. A game where if you really wish to pull a win chances are you have to actually use teamwork against a skilled group. One where running and gunning can gain you kills but at the same time youre actually better off doing squad tactics.

Battlefield 2 teamwork is somewhat crucial but at the same time it's either a) small groups/squads working freely of observing anyone else or b) everyone gunning for themselves, the end justifying the means.

I'd say COD4 is more for those wanting to play more competitive styled games while BF2 is more in relation to pure fun and randomness though it should be noted if you can find the right groups BF2 can be just as competitive

 

I just loaded up BF2 and BF 2142 just a few days ago on my new Sager. I forgot how much I missed those games... Now I'm having flashbacks of sitting in the same chair from 9pm-3am in the morning and not realizing so much time had passed.

CoD4 has one of the best engines for a FPS game. I don't know how those guys were able to get a game that runs as smooth as butter on any machine and still managed to make it look great. The physics/bullet penetration is such a great addition to a game. I'd compare CoD4 multiplayer closer to Counter Strike. Its much faster and in your face. Its more realistic and much faster gameplay. I love it.

The BF games are MASSIVE. I usually only play on 48/64 player maps. I love being able to fly/drive vehicles and then hop out for ground combat. The BF games take much more patience to get used to. I think the games definately don't run as smooth as CoD4 and aren't as realistic either. But the size of the maps and the different vehicles present make these games my favorite for multiplayer. Unless you have a crappy team that dont join up as squads. Then the match sucks.

 

Battlefield 2 was great.
Then I joined a clan and had a real-functioning squad,

which made it even greater.

 

bf2 is the ultimate
