Battlefield 3 vs. CoD 8 - whose side are you on?
You're kidding right?

COD has it's place. No wait. COD had it's place, but unless they actually do some fucking effort and build/use a new engine, then the next COD has no hope. And the truly shocking thing is you would think that having used the same engine and code so many times over, they could sort shit out already!

COD is fun for quick run and gunning, but it quickly wears off. There is no strategy involved. It becomes too repetitive. I mean simply look at the ranking. 15 prestige levels. And for what? A gold gun? Yeah, that is the epitomy of all that is cool! The 15 levels of the same thing over and over and over and over and over show just how shallow a game COD really is.

Now I know it's not fair to compare the BF games to COD, because they are not really the same type of game. But I still feel COD lacks depth in terms of achieving something. COD has 15 levels of achievements, but it's the same ones each time with a stupid camo or inconsequential reawrd after each level. BF on the other hand has 50 rank levels, but heaps of other rewards. Go look at the old BF2. TO get to the rank of Lieutenant General, you needed 1440 hours. HOURS!! That is 60 days of playing non-stop! And then there were the flight badges, chopper badges, armour and transport badges which needed 150 hours for the choppers and planes, 400 for armour and 75 for transport. Never mind the multitude of other awards you could aim for.

So for something that requires a little more brain power and maybe a dash of maturity, I am firmly in the Battlefield 3 camp!
