In 2016 there was an unexpected limelight (no, I’m not talking about politics): Call of Duty was in the middle of the futuristic phase, between jetpack and double jumps that the community has never really loved (and not even me). Battlefield 1 arrived and made the opposite: he brought everyone back to the trenches of the First World War and conquered the players thanks to that return to realism. “Boots on the ground” was the password and seemed a reactionary gesture, and it worked: many COD players migrated to the dice video game, tired of floating as astronauts with the M16. Today the story repeats itself, but how? Battlefield 6 will be released on 10 October and is already an announced success (perhaps), while Black Ops 7 risks the own goal (perhaps): Treyarch (the development study of Black Ops, controlled by thectivision), judging by the trailers, introduces new suspicious movements, jumps and futuristic acrobatics (arousing several doubts: will they only be in the campaign? Warzone?). Meanwhile, the historical “Battlefieldians” are already worried: they fear that the lobbies are invaded by players of Cods who run, shoot and do not re -down (that is, they do not revive) no one (even when the partner is one meter that agonizes on the ground) and for them this thing is inconceivable. The COD player is seen as selfish and individualistic (it is not always true, often yes).
Here are ten points to understand that I pinned for the new FPS war:
2 A “symbolic” overtaking (keeping in mind that Battlefield’s beta has not yet clashed with Black Ops 7 beta).
3 I, who are 54 years old (and when he will come out Black Ops 7 I will have 55), those Skin I love them (one of my favorites is a dancer, I go down to battle with the skin of a girl in long evening dress full of rhinestones). I am enjoying the chromatic anarchy and aesthetic anarchy in general, while the thirty -year -old Sbraitano “We are not children!”. Ah no? You are still too young to feel you children. It makes me laugh to read “Cod seems fortnite”: it will be because in Fortnite I have never managed to play (yet I have always been attracted to it), against kids who in addition to shooting built forts and barricades at supersonic speeds (so much so that it soon became a “build Battle”). In short, if in Cod they put Beavis & Butt-Head, American Dad or the Ninja turtles, I have fun like crazy.
4. In Battlefield the alarm concerns the movement: the players do not want the cod style made of slides and super jumps, and says has already nerphaned these mechanics, the fear of lobbies infested with arcade players unable to team up remains more than anything else.
6. The trailer of Black Ops 7 has collected millions of views, although on Reddit many underline that they are more “intrusive advertising views” than true enthusiasm (we will see, for now it is all to be played to understand).
8. The most tetragons of COD resist: “The gameplay remains more fluid and competitive”. It is true, but with the technical problems that Activision has been going through lately, the discontent for the bugs and the invasion of Cheater I don’t know. If they then add the jet-packs and too many futuristic gadgets they give the hoe, or rather the bayonet on the feet (but it does not seem, contrary to how much it seems from the trailer).
9. Battlefield fans also remain cautious: Battlefield 1, although beloved, never exceeded Cod sales. Again: Hype does not mean commercial success, not to mention that between Battlefield’s release and COD will pass a month, and it could be an Activision strategy: the COD players who have passed to Battlefield will have time to get tired and return to the new cod.
10 In summary from next month there will be two open fronts: Battlefieldians against Calllefdutyani. Above all, the former do not want the invasion of the latter, who never revive you, who do not conquer the flags, who think only of the kill, who think only of themselves and their installments (reporting/death relationship). In this, from Callofdutyan, I confess, they are right. However, the more you complain the more it sounds like an invitation to come to break your grenades in the basket, Bro.
