There isn’t much time left before the game hits the stores, and players have been getting more and more excited to get their hands on it. At the same time, Activision have been keeping up their marketing efforts high like they typically do leading up to a release.
We’ve been seeing lots of comparisons with “Battlefield 1” going around, and there is generally a lot of controversy among gamers regarding which of the two games will be “better”.
Of course, “better” is subjective in this case when the two franchises are aiming at substantially different styles of gameplay, and it’s clear that they both have their own positives and negatives.
Those who want fast-paced shooting in tight corridors will always prefer “Call of Duty”, of course, while those leaning towards more open gameplay will enjoy the style of “Battlefield”. Plenty of players like both franchises equally, but for different reasons.
We fully expect the publishers behind each title to make some jabs at the competition here and there though, as this has been part of the rivalry between the two for a while now. Nobody seems to see it in a negative light either, they’re just random friendly exchanges between studios. They do seem to work quite well for getting fans even more pumped up for the upcoming release though, so it’s understandable why we see that every now and then, and why we’ll probably see it for a long time in the future too.
