With Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Taking a Risk, Battlefield 6 May Score a 'Win' By Playing It Safe
With Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 gambling on something that hasn't worked in the past, Battlefield 6 should avoid rocking the boat at all costs.
While Battlefield took 2024 off to rebuild after Battlefield 2042’s poor reception, the series is gearing up for a comeback - and with that comeback will come a new chapter in the series’ storied rivalry with Call of Duty. Whether it is debates between players online, individual developers poking fun at the competition, or insults about CoD being baked into the DNA of the Bad Company subseries, there has been a consistent back-and-forth between the two FPS properties for years. Sometimes, Battlefield gets the edge, like with Battlefield 1 and Infinite Warfare in 2016. Other times, Call of Duty has a leg up, like when Black Ops 4’s Blackout outclassed Battlefield 5’s Firestorm in 2018. No matter what, though, in years when both series have something to drop, the competition is fierce.
