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."

Honestly Battlefield has been better than Call of Duty for quite some time now. It's just that most people don't want to continuously play a game that is quite realistic. I admire Battlefield for it's realism, but at the same time I think it's what holds them back.

I hope battlefield 4 gets on the top 3 in the charts for most popular, from watching the gameplay i can see that they did a fantastic job with the game.

-CP GTA V is number one in my book :)


I agree with you on that, bro!


GTA V is a great game but you can't compare it to Battlefield, they might get that number one spot.

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


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


wrong, they made over 800million in one day lol. It's well over 1 billion now.


Maybe 2 Billion within 2 years. I don't Battlefield will come to number 1.


It will as an FPS. It's not the same genre as gta.
