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."

Aggie The only game standing in their way is GTA V. I think it can be done though. because of BF4 being playable on more consoles.


I think they ment in the FPS category


Oh. If thats the case. Then they will get it for sure.


I wouldn't be so certain.
COD has always had a huge following and gets more marketing via YouTube commentators than Battlefield does, so we will see.

To be honest with you, I don't think they will take that number 1 spot. It might be a better game but I think that Call of Duty has a bigger following.

I think they will, if they manage to beat Ghosts, which will be hard.

Texans The could get it in FPS but not in ALL games.


I think they have a good chance of becoming #1 in the FPS genre.

I think they have a good chance of becoming #1 to be honest.


It will be close this year for this type of game between COD and Battlefield if it does get to number 1 then good on them if not it does not surprise me as the sheep followed the COD series.


I remember the days when Call of Duty was so amazing, and new! Now, it's just plain repetitive, lets see what they got for Ghost. Otherwise, BF4 seems like it will be taking it.

I believe that they deserve that #1 spot as well.
