I tried Battlefield 4 for a few days on Xbox, and it just wasn't for me, something about it just felt off. Though I've been playing Call of Duty on Wii U so I can't tell if it's just the game that felt off regarding multiplayer, or if I just missed the extra functionality of playing with the gamepad.
If it's anything like BF3, then the XBox version is a real tramps underwear collection of bugs. ‘fraid to say that I’m going to agree with the guy in Game who said that “if you wanna play Battlefield properly then get it on a PC, never a console”.
Oh, and I'm curious about your last comment - if you weren't using a gamepad to play BF4 on XBox, what the heck WERE you using … please don't say Kinect! :wallbash:

COD is pathetic now adays with a simple rehash of the same old stuff, even assets are being reused! I hope it flops because quite frankly its annoying how many sales this franchise gets when its piss poor yet other genuinely good and innovative games get shutdown.
Yes, the reheating of last years leftovers is getting to me … and I've got “Call Of Duty fanboy” as a motto on my XBL account - don't think that'll be the case for much longer. Personally I think that they've either got to go way into the future (but then that comes across as just Halo) or into the past … I'd quite like to see a WWI based one, but then again I'm weird. Best games of the series to me were #2 and MW1, although I could be persuaded that BO1 wasn't awful - quite liked the twisted storyline on that one.
“Good and innovative games”? I must'a missed those - most games these days seem to be just “this year's follow up”. :(

Low expectations of this game, still refused to buy any COD game after the first modern warfare game, even the online side of that game was too easy but its got worse :(/
Okay for you with the reflexes of a mongoose, personally I want to see something for us zimmer trainees. :p

So to sum it up Good Story for Single Player Campaign and crappy/non crappy multiplayer - Call of Duty.
Better Multiplayer and great graphics but short single player campaign. - BATTLEFIELD.
Hmm, not sure that I agree that this is necessarily the case - especially with the most recent incarnations. BF4 I thought had a pretty strong story line - although a bit more of it would've been nice, even as some kind of DLC. CoD:Ghosts never seem to get out of third gear, yes there was some nice set pieces, but certainly not the kind of “buy in” that was the case in previous games. Heck, I've even played through MW1, MW2 and MW3 just to be sure that I wasn't doing “rose tinted specs” and Ghosts really is that poor (yes it is).
Actually, it kind of reminded me (strongly) of the much-derided Homefront.
Ain't got the chops or the party to multiplayer, so I've no idea if Ghosts is better MP than BF4, somehow I really doubt it.
