Battlefield won't give up until it's 'number one'

4.6
Ahead of the game's October 29 launch, EA Games executive VP Patrick Soderlund recently talked up Battlefield 4, discussing the series' competition with Activision's Call of Duty.

"Competition is good. It brings the best out of people. If there was only Battlefield or only Call of Duty, then the development teams might have been a little bit more content," Soderlund told MCV. He added that the developer doesn't mimic Activision's efforts on the Call of Duty series.

"Maybe they weren't thinking about us much when we made Battlefield 3, but I can tell you, they are thinking about us now. They need to," Soderlund said. "We made a dent in the FPS market and we took share from them. And I am not going to give up until I'm No.1 and I am going to make sure I'm No.1."

THIS is what all companies need to do, ALWAYS try to get to No1 no matter what the competition, because that means we the customers enjoy the game more. Good on them.

yeah well to become number one VP Patrick Soderlund should start by packing his bags and going else where.

He has no direction or originality and is like so many of the EA clones.

I think they have a very good chanse of becoming number 1.


Yeah, that's what I said. People need to keep GTAV out of this. They're different games.


They're completely different genres, I don't see how people get them mixed up xD

Lia A few years a go I would of said that Call of Duty would always stay in 1st but I really don't see them holding on to the number one position for that much longer. Their games are just not as good anymore, and it's becoming more and more a copy of the game before it. BF will soon be in number one, once more people realize CoD isn't what it used to be.


I would say the same thing. I used to love to play call of duty, and over the years; they have just released the same game over and over again.
