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."

InsanePanda Cod will be number one for atleast the next 5 years.. Cod hasn't been getting any better but neither has Battlefield.. FPS genre in general has gotten old and stale anyway


Really? 5 Years? Are you serious? No. Call of Duty is going down. Not because it's full of 12 years old that it means it will stay the best.

tuneddown i like the effort but it most likely wont beat call of duty for awhile atleast
both of the games are good
everyone who says Cod is bad is just because they sit on there xbox 24/7 playing the crap out of the game and then find it boring after 6 months
just like every game..


I think it will be close on the Next Gen consoles between them I think it is definatley going to be close in sales anyways when it comes down to detail I think Battlefield will come out on top.

Have we forgotten that GTA V made $500 million on the first day?


Have you forgotten that GTA V and COD are completely different genre?
