Throughout the history of man, conflicts have always beset us on all fronts, and we're not even talking about warfare. Sometimes it's just a conflict between two, er, weighty favorites. It can be anything; Britney or Christina; Left Wing or Right Wing; ketchup or mayo; and for us gamers... Call of Duty or Battlefield.

It's a tale of the tape as old as time-- well, not really, but it's a seemingly age-old rivalry in the relatively young existence of video games. Such rivalry is certainly up there with similar grudge matches like the Xbox or PlayStation. So, we're here to objectively (as much as possible) find out which game is better based on our *ahem* expert criteria. Prepare your Doritos and Mountain Dew, it's a long deathmatch.

11 SINGLE PLAYER - CALL OF DUTY

Gone are the days when Call of Duty had a meaty single-player campaign. It was scrapped/shortened in favor or a more robust multiplayer model. By comparison, Battlefield is heavily-focused on multiplayer as well, meaning it's not really a great single-player experience.

Storywise, both simply showcase Hollywoodified (thanks Urban Dictionary!) warfare whether its historical or futuristic. So, why does Call of Duty take this cake? Simply because of its memorable single-player characters: Soap McTavish, Captain Price, Victor Reznov, etc. The Battlefield games have none of those memorable badasses.

This one's difficult. Both games are multiplayer-focused and have refined their own respective formula through more than a decade of yearly titles (speaking for Call of Duty). Call of Duty's tight and electrifying arcade shooter mechanics and perk system is a fragger's paradise.

Meanwhile, Battlefield is no slouch with its breathtaking 64-player maps where varying combat roles make more sense. While Call of Duty also introduced another flavor in the form of its "zombies" and other modes, Battlefield maps also involve vehicular warfare. The way you're incentivized to work with others in Battlefield is what makes multiplayer fun and gives it more purpose. Then again... battle royale... this one's a tie.

9 GRAPHICS - BATTLEFIELD

Graphics are the first thing players will notice in video games. That means it's a huge deciding factor on how much they'll like it, first impressions are important, after all. Both Call of Duty and Battlefield games have had numerous graphical overhauls with every new title.

However, when it comes to the technical aspects of the graphics, Battlefield, especially Battlefield V, is just a league above Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Even without the shiny bells and whistles of the Ray-Tracing from Nvidia, Battlefield V is still a better looker than Black Ops 4.

8 PRODUCTION VALUE - CALL OF DUTY

While still being tied to the graphics and visuals, production value refers to how well-made a media form is in regards to elements like sound, props, and the overall aesthetics. Both Call of Duty and Battlefield games are no exception-- they have tried to be as cinematic as possible in their respective single-player campaigns.

However, let's not discount the fact that Call of Duty's developers and publishers have pulled some pretty grand strings; Hans Zimmer was the composer for music in Modern Warfare 2 and of course, Kevin Spacey (oops) and Kit Harington both lent their likeness and voices to their own respective Call of Duty games. That star power is too bright for Battlefield.

7 REPLAY VALUE/VARIETY - CALL OF DUTY

Both Call of Duty and Battlefield have brief single-player sections which usually only last a few hours-- you're lucky if it reaches six on regular difficulty. So, that leaves us with nothing but multiplayer to compare replayability.

Based on the variety of game modes alone, and of course, a Battle Royale mode, we'd have to give this one to Call of Duty. Those perks and weapons skins are also awesome in their own right. Battlefield's replayability is also quite commendable, but the way you can seamlessly go in and out of Call of Duty's shorter sessions gives a better feeling of accomplishment... plus Nazi zombies are fun.

6 LEGACY - DRAW

The first Call of Duty game was a World War II shooter aptly named Call of Duty and was released back in 2003. As for the first Battlefield game, it's Battlefield 1942, released in 2002; same setting but different formats as 1942 was more multiplayer-focused. It's safe to say that no one copied the other though both eventually branched out to modern warfare.

With both games being released only a year apart from one another, their legacy is a tie among the gaming community. There are 15 Call of Duty games in total while Battlefield has 11 titles to its belt. Both have also had their own share of disappointing titles.

5 ACTION - BATTLEFIELD

When it boils down to which of these first-person shooters (FPS) are the shootiest, it's a tough call. Both games require your pinpoint precision and catlike reaction times. Call of Duty's requirements is a bit more arcadey since the maps are small and you're supposed to have maximum tactical awareness.

As for Battlefield games, good eyesight and strategic placement is a must if you want to be able to exceed. Both games have guns that also feel authentic and impactful (as far as video game guns go) and there's no doubting the satisfaction they bring upon pulling the trigger. Then again, vehicular combat adds a whole new layer of action and destruction to Battlefield, so it wins.

4 ACCESSIBILITY - CALL OF DUTY

With both games being FPS, they don't exactly have a steep learning curve. You point and then you shoot until the pixels you're aiming at disappear into a red mist. It's not rocket science. Between Call of Duty and Battlefield, however, we'd have to give this one to the former. It's a lot more casual and the controls are certainly tighter (though less realistic).

Meanwhile, for Battlefield games, there are also several layers of unwritten rules you must follow especially if you want your team to win in multiplayer-- you can't just run around randomly running and gunning anyone with a different uniform. Based on experience, more kids choose Call of Duty than Battlefield, so there.

3 SCALE - BATTLEFIELD

When it comes to ambition, both games are no stranger to doing it grand. This is most evident in their single-player aspects, especially when it comes to World War II shooters. Both Call of Duty and Battlefield have an impressive collection of WWII games as well as modern and futuristic setting titles.

Still, we feel that Battlefield is a lot more progressive with their titles, especially since they even ventured into World War I and made it work. On top of that, their graphics and faithfulness to actual war both in single-player and multiplayer (64-player maps) are astounding and more thoughtful.

2 COMMUNITY - BATTLEFIELD

It's not just the gameplay or other innate aspects of a game which make it appealing. Sometimes, the community plays huge part in keeping the magic. This is especially true for multiplayer-focused games like Call of Duty and Battlefield. A community can make or break the game for others. As it is, it seems the Battlefield wins in this department.

Its community is simply more mature and more appreciative of history and teamwork. Case in point was Battlefield 1's community; it organized its own armistice in-game in honor of the real-life ceasefire which happened back in World War I, specifically the Christmas Truce of 1914. It was an unofficial ceasefire where British and German troops laid down their arms and sang Christmas carols to one another instead of fighting. Battlefield players successfully commemorated such an event. Good luck finding something like that in Call of Duty games.

1 WINNER...

Oh look it's a draw, who'd have thought? Just play what you enjoy better. If your taste is more mature, go with Battlefield games, if you're younger and you need your constant adrenaline fix, go with Call of Duty. Regardless of which you pick, you'll always be the winner. Case closed.
