Seeing as they both release next month, I'm curious to who will be getting which game.

I'll be getting both after playing both in betas/tests.

 

[ThisIsMyDog]

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7

 

[R6Rider]

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7

Reported.

 

[Imtjnotu]

The only game that matters the rest of this year

 

[AJUMP23]

Probably neither. I played the BF6 beta and while the shooting was good the maps are too small. I prefer a single player experience more. Arc Raiders has a cool look but I don't know if I am ready for the GAAS again.

 

[bighugeguns]

Neither honestly, both look fine, arc raiders isn't for me and BF6 just seems like a shitty soulless 2042 reskin, I'll be playing blops 7 on Gamepass, same as everyone else.

With Gamepass being a thing, If you want upfront (non-deep sale) money from me personally for non-indie games these days you have to totally blow the doors off like red dead 2, BG3, path of exile 2 or GTA VI.

 

[Sanepar]

I'm getting both but I think arcraiders is DOA.

[Men_in_Boxes]

ARC Raiders and I'm not concerned about BF6 in the least bit. Embark has made the next great GAAS giant, while EA has made just another Battlefield.

LOL some nice takes in this thread already

 

[R3TRO]

Both because I make questionable decisions.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Was ARC until I played the BF beta, now its BF6 and just don't have the time for 2 new games

 

[clarky]

I'm getting both but I think arcraiders is DOA.

Why? The tech test did gangbusters. Lot of positivity around this one.

I expect a decent sized launch then a steady audience for the year at the very least, as long as the support is there.

 

[UnrealEck]

I only played a couple of hours of the BF6 beta and didn't like it. Been a BF fan since BF1942 through to BF1.

Arc Raiders looks good.

 

[rkofan87]

bf6 has sp.

 

[Spyxos]

Both, but the Arcraiders timing is really bad. I think it will take a while before I have time to play it.

 

[AJUMP23]

bf6 has sp.

I may get it and play it when the price drops.

 

[joey Dubs]

Bravo Foxtrot 6

If the Arc Raiders open test thing is available on PS5 then I will check it out, but I am not really interested in investing time and money into new GaaS IP's.

 

[Fbh]

Probably BF6, I liked the beta and I have several friends who'll be getting it.
I like the visual style of Arc Raiders but the concept of extraction shooters sounds incredibly unappealing to me so it's an easy skip.

 

[rkofan87]

they are gong to drop some stuff about the sp at tgs.

 

[BennyBlanco]

I'm gonna buy CoD. As dumb as the skins have gotten it is still the most fun modern shooter IMO. BF6 beta was underwhelming.

I hope you are right but I think BF6 will be a juggernaut.

 

[Hawkeye2890]

Both. Bo7 too. All three look solid. Hyped.

 

[dispensergoinup]

I'll get BF6 for SP and if Arc Raiders had an offline co-op mode I'd be down for that too. I like the aesthetics but don't know much about the game tbf.

 

[Ribi]

One makes my PC infinitely boot while the other is an alright 3 person shooter.

Maybe arc on a sale

 

[delishcaek]

Been hyped for ARC Raiders since the beta, while the BF beta did the opposite to me (need bigger maps, otherwise it's just COD with a BF skin).

I don't know if I can find the time for ARC, though, as I got back into GW2 earlier this month and the next GW2 expansion comes out 2 days before ARC. lol

 

[clarky]

I hope you are right but I think BF6 will be a juggernaut.

Absolutely but i don't think it will affect Arc too much, they are completely different games.

 

[clarky]

I'm gonna buy CoD. As dumb as the skins have gotten it is still the most fun modern shooter IMO. BF6 beta was underwhelming.

Ill get COD as well but they really need to sort out the matchmaking its game breakingly shit.

 

[BennyBlanco]

I don't even notice tbh. I literally only play nuketown 24/7 and stakeout 24/7. Games last like 5 mins and they are fun as hell. I havent even seen most of the maps. Is this a retarded way to play this game? Very likely.

 

[RaptorGTA]

Bf6

I am just not a fan of extraction shooters. Maybe if I had people to play with, my opinion would be different.

 

[Hello My Name is]

They should have released Arc Raiders during Summer Game Fest. The hype was huge.

I'll get Battlefield and pick up Arc Raiders sometime later.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Not interested in arc raiders, getting bf6

 

[//DEVIL//]

Lol BF6 easily. Skipping call of shit too

 

[saintjules]

Are they the same type of game?

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Are they the same type of game?

Both "PvP shooters", but essentially on the opposite ends of that spectrum.

 

[hououinkyouma00]

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7

 

[analog_future]

I honestly have no idea. Both look really fun.


Is ARC Raiders friendly to solo players or is it very squad based?

 

[Sojiro]

After that beta I am all over BF6. I will admit Arc raiders did peak my interest a bit after I saw a trailer for it a while ago, but it's not even on the radar with BF there now.

 

[Alpha Male]

Both

I'm extremely pumped!

 

[BigLee74]

BF6 a reskin? What does that make Blops 7?

I'll be buying BF6 day one, Gamepassing Blops 7 (I'm a COD whore), and haven't even heard of the other game.

Well, I think it generally helps if you reskin a good game.

Come on man, at least put some effort into the trolling.

 

[KaiserBecks]

I'll be getting both. BF6 will hopefully serve as a fun, simple mp game I'll be playing now and then. But these days I'm enjoying the intensity of extraction shooters way more than any other mp experience. The playtest of Arc Raiders was fire, really looking forward to playing it again.

 

[bighugeguns]

I'm fucking not? BF2042 was a shitty iteration of Battlefront and BF6 is just a shitty offload of 2042, I'm sorry it sucks, there's a good reason, IN REALITY, COD just dwarfs that franchise, who's trolling who here?

6 plays nothing like 2042.

COD is pretty much the same game every year, one which I play btw.

Nobody mentioned the size of the respective franchises.

Man, you know what, let's just hope EA allows refunds this time around.

OP tried...

If you spent as much energy positively in the COD threads rather than negatively in a game you clearly don't like maybe you'd be a much much happier camper my man.

I'm only nice to studios and franchises I dislike or don't care about. If I feel the creative merit can be better, I'll rip and tear the shit out of their products. These are pure for-profit ventures it's ridiculous to be nice about any of this.

A weak BF means a weak COD means weak shit gaming, surrounding DICE devs with retarded clapping seals from reddit means you get BF2042, that's the path of Concord, of despair, it fucks with the balance of things. BF6 should comfortably be trading blows with the COD market share, but it won't, because EA loves their clapping seals too much. If you care about the art, you're morally obligated to be a dick to them, clarky.
