I have a weird urge to pick up a generic normie online shooter.

Which one is better?
>>
If you want content, zombies and 12 year olds screaming at you: BLOPS3

If you like Star Wars, but no content and no 12 year olds screaming at you: Battlefront

Personally I went with Battlefront for my yearly generic normie online shooter, I just love the aesthetics.

Battlefront might catch your attention, for a week or so. After that you'll realize that the game is as shallow as a puddle. Everyone I know is trashing it- even my normalfag friends. I can't speak for BLOPs since I haven't bought a CoD game since 4, but I have no doubt that it's better than Battlefront, Treyarch actually care.

Such a weak multiplayer, fuckin wall running bunch of ass holes. Who came up with that.

I'm fuckin mad I paid £55 for it, the most I've spent on a game since perfect dark (&that was because I needed the expansion pack)

Battlefront looks and feels better, it's no battlefield but far better than bo3.

The kills on bo3 are pathetic. The guns look as if they were designed by a cretin and the maps are the same old shit

BfrontII is still the better game without contest. BfrontII has better movements, shooting, maps, OPTIONS for how to go about battles, more heroes, the much needed ability to remove heroes from the map, better balancing thanks to each faction having a solid counter-vehicle to each other, and along with having classes comes seeing more variety in troopers. Not all EU shit either, but imperial gunners, scouts, jump troopers, and commanders are all there.

All the new Bfront offers are touched up visuals and.... air battles? I guess? It's really just an extension of ace combat horizon anyway, which was an awful game.

No roll, no buy.
>>
There's tons of customization in Blops 3. Lije, the most there has ever been in a CoD game. Add in zombies, a campaign, a campaign with zombies, several different types of multiplayer modes.

Basically if you want a generic shooter than you should probably get the one with more options considering there's only like 3 fun things to do in Battlefront and doing the same three things for 60 dollars is ass.

That doesn't change the fact that you're getting a ridiculously small amount of content for the money, with the only really good part being the graphics/aesthetics. And then there's the DLC jewing as well, for a game that has very little content in the first place. Fuck that.

I went with both because I don't rely on mom's allowance and have lost all self control.

Blops3 is the only cod I have played since..black ops. It's still exactly the same shit at heart, but zombies in 3 has a nice lovecraftian twist, the gameplay is actually much more varied, however my reference point is collectively 4 to 5 call of duties ago, so it's like skipping from assassin's creed 2 to syndicate.


Battlefront is fun, it's definitely...star wars.

However heroes aren't done well balance or use wise (camping hero spawns), no space battles and a pathetic amount of content for a game that makes MGSV feel like five completed games on comparison.

A lot of this is just idiot rambling but AT-AT on rails is a good thing. Since they are important to the objective they would be walking the same way with a driver it would just introduce the possibility of an idiot hopping in and fucking it all up. The air combat is far better in this game and the star cards allow you to put skills in the shooter wich translates to strategic gameplay. You haven't played the game and the only real issue with the game is lack of content.

Lol nope. I fucking hated COD because of how samey every fucking game was, but advanced warfare actually added in verticality and made it kinda fun. Blops 3 has limited boosting and the parkour is rarely used except for the death pits they shoehorned into every level. I literally almost never use the wall running shit. I would much prefer Exo Suits again. It's too bad AW is dead online, though.

No. Every point there is based on exactly what makes the originals more deep. The remake's gunplay is so shallow that it's making the market bored.

The AT-ATs could be off rails if the maps wasn't just a fucking narrow hallway.
>>
>>318282681
The spawning is a lot worse than you describe. The squad spawning is just limited to a single partner, but that's not the worst part. You can't pick where to spawn at all, they just slap down a box and go "okay they'll spawn here". It doesn't matter if it's as far away from the action as possible, it doesn't matter if the entire enemy team is currently camping that area. You have no choice but to spawn in this little random area. I haven't seen a game with spawns and spawn killing this dreadful in years.

Both games are a fucking disaster, and spending more than $10 on Battlefront or BO3 is being completely retarded.

Let me help.
>Blops 3
Probably around 10 online maps, a Zombie mode, and some stupid ass story nobody will actually play, a parkour mechanic you never fucking use, can't tell if it looks any better than the last game, so the graphics are only ok compared to some other recent games
>Battlefront
Only multi-player, 4 fucking maps, and an extra $50 for the rest of the game, great graphics and it looks like Star Wars, but doesn't "feel" like Star Wars.
Personally I think they both kinda suck dirty asshole, but at least Blops has content.

This. I bought Titanfall for $8 on Amazon and it's fucking exceptional. Huge maps, fast movement, solid co-op vs ai mode that actually provides a challenge.

Also, due to Gametime and the recent sales, it's definitely not a "dead game" like everyone says, unless you really want to play the more obscure modes all the time.

It would be wrong if we were talking about Advanced Warfare, which actually used the vertical axis, but Black Ops 3 uses invisible walls to block off a lot of stuff you could otherwise reach with the jetpack and wallrun.

>>318280667
Blops3 has Titanfall's soldier gameplay complete with jet packs and wallrunning, meaning a higher skill ceiling, a single player mode, and a progression system that you won't get through in a week. Go with Blops3.

>That image
>Those fucks on Youtube removed their art.
>>
>>318285760
Black Ops 3's map design constrains the usefulness of wallrunning. Not just the fact that most of the explicit wallrun places are just pit falls, but also that there are basically no places outside the pit falls and obstacle course maps where you ever chain the movement mechanics together. It also lacks bhop which synergized well with Titanfall's movement mechanics (and Advanced Warfare's for that matter), which adds another layer to moving around and which doing is an actual skill in of itself.
>>
So lets say EA/Dice release tons of new content for Battlefront, and I get it when it's cheaper.

Would it be worth it then? The overall game looks pretty fun, it's just the lack of content that's putting me off.

I was originally planning on buying this and ignoring COD because I don't care about COD, but apparently COD is good this year or something?
>>
Battlefront was the ultimate disappointment.

EA, in their infinite evilness, didn't make a bad game, they made a very good one that forces you to pay $100 for more than 5 hours of fun.If that game had half as much content as the originals it would be truly incredible.

>>318286990
I had a shitload of fun, to be honest. But there is so little content, and the maps are railroads, so every match started to feel the same. Obviously it's not realistic to expect that they can make a game with as much content as Bfront II in this day and age, but four maps for $60 is borderline offensive. So glad I could spend the weekend playing at a friend's to confirm this is not worth a buy.
