'Battlefield 1' vs. 'Call Of Duty' Comparison: Which Game Is Better? Past Vs. Future?

"Battlefield 1" and "Call Of Duty: Infinite Warfare" are pitted against each other since the games fall under a similar genre as a first-person shooter. Both games are also going to be released in the last quarter of 2016, which further ups the anticipation for gamers and the competition between its developers, EA DICE and Infinity Ward. But which game is better between the two?

The biggest difference between the two shooter games is in the setting. "Battlefield 1" takes place during World War 1, which has been called the "the birth of modern warfare." It features troops that operate and fight using tanks, horses, fighter planes and Zeppelins. But if gamers might find this limiting and unenjoyable to play, DICE game developer Danny Berlin said there's actually a lot the game can offer. "There is a huge amount of variety of weapons with a powerful and authentic feel. It's a fast and really cool experience, and any play-style you have, we'll cater for it," he said via Polygon.

Meanwhile, "Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare" takes place in the future, amidst the presence of a space alliance. It features fantastic weapons and futuristic enemies. But Forbes notes that it might seem redundant for Infinity Ward to develop another game that carries the same theme. The developer has already done this more than once for other "Call Of Duty" installments like "Black Ops 3," "Advanced Warfare" and "Ghosts."

But "Call of Duty" publisher Eric Hirshberg defended the game and noted that it is for its passionate followers. "This is an industry like no other, and a fan base like no other and we love that our fans treat this franchise like it's their own and have such strong points of view about it," Hirschberg said, per Kotaku. "There just aren't many entertainment franchises on Earth that can generate the kind of passion that Call of Duty can and that's a good thing."
