Apparently 13 Year Old's Don't Like Battlefield 3

SegmentNext - "If there was any doubt on the comparative audience of Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3, this pic should clear this up."

[Son_Lee]

Kind of hard to justify when the Battlefield 3 video has so many more views than the Modern Warfare 3 one. Still, I don't doubt older males play Battlefield and younger ones play MW3.

[I_find_it_funny]

great job DICE, I'm choosing your game

[AAACE5]

Unfair comparison! Besides, all the kids will play what the big boys and girls are playing anyway! They will always follow us to whatever we do next!

No matter how much we try to leave them behind, they find us! We left them on Halo while we went to Call of duty... They followed! We left them on Resistance while we went to Killzone... They followed!

[lil Titan]

There still gonna be that one...THAT ONE KID WITH THE SQUEAKY GIRL VOICE WHO DOESNT KNOW WTF HES DOING!!!

[BulletToothtony]

I'm really liking battlefield 3 and I really hope it's great.

But I had the same hopes for Medal of Honor and i pre-ordered it just to be disappointed with the excessive amount of snipers hiding in the mountains.

Some people may still like it and love it. But lets be honest, (to most) The MP was a let down.

Sadly I won't be preordering B3 since i don't want to get caught up on the same crap again. :( sadly

[Peppino7]

Thats exactly the reason why I'm getting BF3.

[gamingdroid]

That was how my experience was with BF3. I get sniped from even further away than in MW2. The games move very slow and frankly I can't hide in buildings either.

Maybe because I ain't playing it right, but the game wasn't for me.

I respect the game though as it is clearly critically acclaimed.

[joab777]

I agree. MW has been the choice of older ppl and everyone so young kids follow suit. The migration though to B3, which is inevitable will start w older hardcore gamers and filter down to the young kids. As of now, I'm fine w it. They can have mw3. Unfortunately in order to become the king of the hill, the 13year olds will also have to b on board. My favorite number in the pic is the advantage b3 has in views...wow.

[HardCover]

@BulletToothtony

You're judging BF3 by MOH multiplayer? Yeesh what a bad assumption to make.

If you knew anything about either game's development cycle you'd understand what I mean.

[soundslike]

"zomg y do ppl lyke this game so much.

Have i even played battlefield 2? ya of course i played BC2 and bc3 will suck juzt az bad"

[RedDragan]

IF... IF... this is indicative of what it suggests then the two GT5 videos on my youtube account would suggest kids don't like that game as well.

The GT5 videos are most popular with:

Male 35-44
Male 25-34
Male 18-24

[morganfell]

"Apparently 13 Year Old's Don't Like Battlefield 3"

Maybe it's just me but can someone point out the downside?

[soundslike]

lol wow I hope people knew I was referring to an ACTUAL post by someone here on N4G, who was probably 13.

The kid actually thought bf2 was bc2...

I don't think a good portion of the younger gaming community understand how monumental BF2 actually was.

[Tank_Commander_E6]

As if I need another reason to buy BF3. Pfft!

[NatureOfLogic]

Im 21 and Im not buying BF3, just saying. I don't go by hype, I go by what games I actually like playing.

[gamestorecowgirl]

@gamingdroid

I literally laughed out loud at this. "The games move very slow and frankly I can't hide in buildings either." You have to add the /s or people don't know you're joking. You are joking, right?

[Arnon]

To be honest, if we actually went by the ratings system, 13 year olds shouldn't even know the contents of Battlefield 3.

Knowing that an under-aged group doesn't like a title for mature audiences isn't going to somehow influence me to not purchase a game that looks absolutely spectacular.

[ravinash]

What the hell are 13 year old playing these games in the first place.
isn't there meant to be an age restriction on these games???

[Nickster800]

I'm a 14 year old and a play battlefield, I also hate black ops and i don't trash talk online. I try to be a mature gamer for my age.

[HINDERIZATION]

you're underage :D

[Terarmzar]

People what is with the disagreeing? He simply stated his opinion without being a troll like the majority on this site that are older than him.

On topic: I prefer battlefield over call of duty even though i am only familiar with the bad comapany series.

[killcycle]

It's the non broken squeaky voice i hate about kids, no offense nick you might be a really smart young dude.

But i just can't stand kids over mic telling me a grown man to go and do this, do that.

Instinctive i think, like how alot of people have problems working for managers half their age.

[memots]

Thanks for that Nickster , We need more like you in the gaming community trash talk is fine as long as it remains funny and "sportsmanlike" or "gamesmanlike" lol

Trash talk as its place like in any sports but it seem that maturity is not the main theme in gaming and that really suck for everyone.

[devilmaycry2020]

Wish the rest was more like you.

At one time a kid came into a room in GT5 -yes GT5- and starts trash talking after losing a race he went on a rampage how he would kick my behind in Call of duty.

I told him I don't play with kids, he went and said then why is MW2 rated 18?.

Not saying that BF3 does not have any idiots but the rate of running into one is far less.

[saladthieves]

I'm glad. I hate 13 year olds commando-wanna-be running around a map trying to kill everyone else instead of cooperating with the rest of the team to successfully complete objectives and help.

They should stick to Call of Duty while the rest of us play a better game: Battlefield.

[Aarix]

I can't stand the cod d-bags I see. My brother is one and I resist temptation not to slap him. One time I bought 3 good games and all he said was "those games are stupid, you shouldve bought black ops, it's the best game ever. -_-;;;

[Spitfire_Riggz]

From the statistics it also seems Battlefield is more popular world wide while Mw3 is more western centered, USA to be specific

[_Q_]

I saw that too. I was wondering why we didnt have more pointing that out. Pretty cool to see its popularity so spread out.

[Petro]

Battlefield is made in Sweden. :) And that gives it big sales boost in the Nordic country's.

[MrCrimson]

Was about to say the same thing.

[blackz001]

Agree with you
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[TheRealWar]

He picked the MW3 video with the least views and compared it to the BF3 one with the most views.

[xDaRkModEx]

If author wants to compare, at least do it right. http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[Spitfire_Riggz]

Wooooo Weeeeee 11 million views!

[Petro]

This is the MW3 video with most views http://www.youtube.com/watc...

And audiences go like this:

1. Male 13-17
2. Male 18-24
3. Male 25-34

[Pl4sm4]

it proves that Cod is only played by little kids , and BF3 is a grown up game for good gamers

[FunkMcnasty]

I dunno if i agree that CoD is ONLY played by lil kids. I definitley think that a younger demographic gravitates toward it, but i think thats mostly because all their peers have it and it's relatively easy and straight-forward.

My friends and I are all in our late 20's-early 30's, and we definitley play the hell out of BOTH games! I think to an older crowd the two games offer two different flavors for the pallette (a fast paced run-n-gun, and a slower paced, team-based, tactical shooter). My personal fav out of the 2 is definietly Battlefield--specifically BC2 and BF:1943

[PRHB HYBRiiD]

What a surprise

[hiredhelp]

wow whats the PG, for these games. 18?

[goaliegonzalez28]

this article speaks the truth i when i was 13 I didn't know what battlefield was,now that im 14 battlefield is way better so now 13 year olds dont play this game only 14 year olds

[Pandamobile]

Good.

[jriquelme_paraguay]

some one tell this kid, he cant play this game... hahaha

[x800]

exactly! good!

[Tuxedoassassin]

I know I get flamed, but I´m 13 years old too and I love Battlefield and hate CoD. :D

[Emilio_Estevez]

Awesome, lets keep it that way.

[BeastlyRig]

Good job Dice!
I guess it's the lack of quickscoping that makes thm hate it?

lmao 13-17 y/o's are highest on the list for MW3!

[bumnut]

which is silly because most games come with an 18 rating.

Imagine if xbl/psn introduced age restrictions where you could not play a game if you were not old enough! cod would not last long after that!

[verpuli]

there is age restriction on psn, but it isn't really hard to make a new account

[MysticStrummer]

I'd say most consoles never have the age restriction feature utilized anyway, because the kid's parents don't know anything about it and the kid sure as hell won't tell them.

[theonlylolking]

@MysticStrummer

That is why consoles and video games come with manuals.

[IaMs12]

There is a way to restrict younger kids playing mature games as well on the 360. Everything now has some sort of way a parent can restrict what their child can play. Thats the ticket though its up to the parents.

[GarandShooter]

@ theonlylolking

Too bad kids don't.

[Gawdl3y]

The rating system is meant to be a recommendation, not something to follow strictly.
However, there are a lot of kids out there who clearly aren't very mature, and shouldn't be playing them.

[BubbleSniper]

noobscoping ot quicknoobing? pick your poison.

[Aarix]

YOU HARDSCOPED YOU F***ing CHEATER! How dare you properly snipe.

[fossilfern]

And I hope it stays that way!

[SJPFTW]

good news! less anoying brats on BF3 online then...

[NyGiants7]

So now I want this game even more

[thekiddfran]

Excellent news, keep it up DICE.

[Oldman100]

The kiddies need their auto aim and lack of recoil.

[mastiffchild]

No, they just like it. Put their unsullied reflexs though a couple of weks of any game and if they play it the same way we adults do their great hand/eye and actual eyesight and reflexes make them a match for all but the best players. Kids only lack experience and it annoys me a little when we assume they have little skill when they have all the advantages-bar that one.

Naturally, having less experience they will more likely go for the more mainstream,high profile, yearly series they already know pretty well and as more kids are console gamers these results are less than shocking.but I'd sa if you take a kid and an adult used toCOD and place them in a game of BF the kid would more often than not, be up to snuff quicker than the grown up depending,natch, on age(not talking 80 year olds versus nine year olds)and whether said adult is a pro.

[evrfighter]

Really mastiff? I at 27 taught my 13 year old brother how play cs and tf2. He is now considered to be the best cod player at his school on xbox.

I built him a computer and he plays all 3 games religiously. Why is it that I can take 6 months off fps gaming come back and still light him up?

According to you that should not be the case. What's even more interesting is I'm not even half as good as I used to be. I would say my peak was age 20-21

[BigPenguin]

@mastiff
The reason most adults do not respect kids is because kids are idiots and do not realize it.

I thought I was smart as a kid as well, looking back, I was a total dumb ass and did not even know it.

I think just about all honest adults will agree with me. They thought they were smart as kids, but now realize they were idiots.

[GarandShooter]

@ evrfighter

It could be the lack of experience mastiff speaks of, or...

You could be a really poor teacher, or...

Your kid brother kicks your ass and you don't have the balls to man up and admit it, or...

If you're only half as good and he's the top at his school, his school really sucks...

Damn, if we had more buttons to push instead of only agree/disagree I could get a little N4G vote thingy going on.

Yeah, I know a vote thingy is called a survey. Bite me.

[reznik_zerosum]

all i need is my pirate servers,just like in BF2 and MW2

[the_kutaragi_baka]

so.. they are COD fanboy heh?

[LightofDarkness]

The geographical popularity is funny too.

MW3: This game is popular in USA and UK.
BF3: This game is popular every-f**king-where.

[YodaCracker]

Except COD far outsells Battlefield everywhere, not just in the USA and UK.

[trainsinrdr]

bad company 2 wont work for me anymore:( it always disconnects 3-4 mins after i join a game and i have no idea what the problem is my connection is perfect?

@ FunkMcnasty nah its definetaly not the server its every single game i join i can never finish a game anymore because it keeps booting me which sucks cus i really liked the game :P

[FunkMcnasty]

It may be the game or the game type.. sometimes I can't connect to a BC2 match, or I'll keep getting booted during the match, but it's usually only one game type that does this to me and only happens every so often. I usually play squad rush on BC2, but sometimes if it wont find a match or keeps booting me, I'll load up squad deathmatch or conquest and it usually works fine.. the game servers maybe?

[Petro]

It actually could be your ADSL modem. I had old Telewell that didn't like my console and most of all it hated Bad Company.

[Moragami]

Yo, make sure PB is manually updated, then make sure your firewall is "allowing" BFBC2 and Pnkbstr A & PnkbstrB. That may fix yer prob.

[FunkMcnasty]

They haven't learned "tactical strategy" in school yet! That explains why so few people sprint around the maps with shotguns in Battlefield!

This demographic split is something I've noticed though, as I tend to play CoD and BC2 online quite a bit... Sometimes when I'm playing CoD the voices coming through the comm set don't even sound like they came from a person old enough to hold a controller!

If you've never seen The Whitest Kids You Know, here's thier CoD MP sketch..

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

just about sums it up i think! "MOM MAKE ME A SAMMITCH!!"

[kane_1371]

have a bubble my friend

[KMxRetro]

Wow...what stunning NEWS.

Oh no, wait...

[Pintheshadows]

Do 13 yr olds like Dust 514? Do they even know what it is? I hope not.

[headhunter]

UMMMMMMM is this game not rated M ahhhh yes so piss off 13- 17yr olds

[Inside_out]

.
Once the kids deem your game uncool, that pretty much seals it. The young gamers are the FUTURE and if you get them young they will follow you forever. Just look at my Buddy Mario, his funny little bro Luigi and all those great characters that have made Nintendo a must have no matter what system you own.

Nobody wants to sit in a black, blue and grey parking lot looking for a ONE guy with a RPG shooting at you...Or crawling along a roof top while the pre-rendered backdrop goes all to hell...or...A nice leisurely tank ride through some desert chasing smoke trails...ALL on some imaginary PC nobody owns or cares about.

Most will say the Battlefield looks great, for a undisclosed PC title but boring as hell and not doing anything new, a complaint put against the highest selling FPS this gen and maybe ever COD. David Jaffe said the same thing. The demo looks great but we've seen it all before.

btw...Dice will be on Jimmy Fallon this week...it better be console game play.

[LightofDarkness]

"The young gamers are the FUTURE and if you get them young they will follow you forever" - yeah, I'm pretty sure DICE hooked about half of the gamers in Europe while they were young and nearly all PC gamers worldwide. This is the result of us following them. Please note age demographics and amount of viewers per video.

"pre-rendered backdrop" - try again, this time using the words "real-time".

"imaginary PC nobody owns or cares about" - I own almost the exact same PC as the one they used to demo BF3. And I care about it very much in fact.

"boring as hell and not doing anything new" - saying this while simultaneously praising COD means your chromosome deficiency is showing. How embarrassing for you.

"demo looks great but we've seen it all before" - So we've seen tank battles like that before? Certainly not in COD. Or any non-Battlefield FPS, for that matter.

Rather pathetic attempt to down-play this game, kiddo. I hope you enjoy paying 59.99 for some new maps later this year.

[Pintheshadows]

I'm glad you replied to that. I wouldn't have been so polite.

[Gazondaily]

Haha amazing reply to the troll thread. Hates off to you sir.

[Dart89]

Don't worry man he's a cod fanboy just look at his comment history xD.

[Petro]

Eh..? We all do know that Battlefield 3 on consoles will look better than Bad Company 2 did. And that there is more than enough. The rest of your concerns I really cant address cause you seem to make no sense.

[SkittlesLikesPopcorn]

@ inside out.

shut up.

[MysticStrummer]

Your name is appropriate.

[BeaArthur]

Fine by me, I like to play with adults anyways.

[pandehz]

woot finally some good news

[Inzo]

Thats because 13 is the avg age for COD.

[Morgue]

Honey Badger doesn't give a sh*t what 13 year olds like.

[kungfuian]

If they were smart they'd market it snubbing younger gamers, saying it's for the big boys only or something.

Example- Show some 10 year old twerp playing on the couch being really abnoxious, big brother in uniform comes in and tells him he can't play on his account and gives him the boot, then say the game is for big boys only, clips to real military personal in uniform playing around the world.

Other option is to have kid being really obnoxious with it implied he's playing cod (only showing him on the counch not the actual game). Big brother in the militray or dad comes in and gives him the boot, tells him to go ride a bike or something, then pops in Battlefield as soon as he leaves. clips of him playing battlefield with real military personal around the world, and kids riding bike in the summer heat.

You could sell the hell out of that.

[dafada]

lol you my friend should get into marketing because that's some pretty decent ideas lol

[Bonobo12345]

You have a Gift my friend, I would love to see that AD..

[Gamer_Z]

COD is for the kids and Battlefield is for the grown ups.

[itzcoo]

Coming from a guy with a cartoonnetwork kids show as his avatar?

[Petro]

I'm adult and I enjoy cartoons. Actually give me Cartoon Network and I will never turn off the TV. :P

[Gamer_Z]

@itzcoo

Lol at least I'm not as insecure about myself as you are...

[itzcoo]

What leads you to believe I'm insecure about something?

I never said there was something wrong with cartoons I was just pointing out how preposterous your statement was.

First off call of duty and battlefield both have the same rating and both have the same target audience. You say COD is for the kids and BF is for the adults was a stupid statement because both games are rated M for mature and anyone who has played these games on consoles know that children play on both. You'll find more kids on COD simply because it is the most popular game on consoles and the pc gamers aren't gonna see any kids on BF because it's highly unlikely for someone under 18 to have a gaming pc in the first place.

Adventure Time is a show on cartoon network who's target audience are kids and teenagers. South Park is a show on comedy central targeted at adults and is rated M for mature. This doesn't mean that kids and adults don't watch both shows.

Your statement is like saying family guy is for kids and american dad is for adults. Or pizza hut is for kids and dominos is for adults.

[kookie]

Its very annoying with these little kids everywhere.

[Gazondaily]

Yes! No more "message to all recent players" messages from kids who sound so nasally and pre-pubescent, you know their balls have receded so far up their bodies, they portrude out of their mouths.

Hopefully that means more mature players on BF3 and more teamwork! You guys better be healing me and giving me ammo!!

[RyuCloudStrife]

haters, haters, haters... they're such sad ppl lol

[Pandamobile]

You're part of the 13-17 year old demographic, aren't you?

[Pyscho_Mantis]

Also note how it is mainly popular in America as most first person shooters. Americans have bad gaming tastes ( yeah I know thats a huge generalisation but hey im pretty sure thats what this trend map is too)

[Darkseeker]

Considering the games are m for mature, how can it appeals to them when they shouldn't even be buying them in the first place?

Maybe if parents these days were responsible and store clerk actually refused to sell those games to kid, my online experience wouldn't be ruined by some kid with his mic.

[elhefe]

The ratings are a guideline for parents and nothing more. It has nothing to do with responsibility. Please think of a better argument next time.

[mimizone]

from Gamestop site: "All GameStop and EB Games employees enforce our store policy with respect to games rated M (Mature) by the ESRB. We DO NOT sell, reserve, or offer Mature rated games to customers under 17 years of age."

[OC_MurphysLaw]

Am I the only one that found the sampling sizes to be oddly skewed? MW3 was 260,497 while Battlefield 3 was 1,179,473. Where was this data exactly pulled from? If you look at MW3 info its basically Youtube and Facebook, and Battlefield 3 has a number of Battlefield specific sites which age gate viewing their trailer. Ofcourse that is going to reflect 100% 18+ demographic because the only way to view the video is to lie about your age on those particlular sites. Feel free to check it out yourself. www.battlefield.com...click on a video and it pops up an age gate.

This comparison... 100% suspect if you ask me. I have no doubts that Battlefield 3 skews towards an older audience but please don't tell me there are not tons of 13-17yr olds that saw BF3's video and went gaga over it.

[Ducky]

Yea, I don't think they used the official channels to get that data for CoD.

Though if you do look at the stats from the official videos (the ones with millions of views), the results aren't all that different.
CoD is mainly popular with the 18-24 crowd and Battlefield with the 25-34 crowd.

Battlefield is an older series, so that could explain why older player are interested in it. It also is a slower game, which from my experience, is more popular with the older crowd.

[femshep]

good maybe i will be able to get into a party and actually have communication and teamwork like battlefield is suppose to be played instead of idiots running around without mics and sitting in the corner of house crying when someone blows the wall out and them with it

[antz1104]

Lol, so how do you know they're crying if they don't have mics?

Just sayin'.

EDIT: @ below, true that femshep; Lord knows I get pissed when the other team has 3 killstreaks above and are owning the spawn points but RAGE QUITTING IS NOT AN OPTION, finish what you start!

[femshep]

haha i dunno typical reaction of a child when things don't go there way so best guess id say.....especially when they rage quit

[Ninjamonkey82]

Thats a good thing no?

[ILikeTurtles]

FACTUAL EVIDENCE
:D

CoD4=masterpiece in 2007

CoD5-MW3=Unbalanced cod 4 clones made for noobs and underaged faggots.

BF=Teamwork!

[spektical]

i thought W@W was ok.. but after that its been a POS

[SeraphimBlade]

Also notice that that the BF3 video seems to have WAY more popularity outside of North America

[Steadyhndz]

I hate stupid articles like this. This comparison is pretty stupid, has no actual info about who what a 13 year old does and doesn't like. In the long run though THE GAME IS RATED MATURE!!! A 13 year old should not be playing MW3 or BF3 in the first place.

[spektical]

this is very good. now we can play games with people not screaming into the mic as often.

[TheStonedSheep]

Wow, there is so much wrong with this.

First off, the sample sizes are completely different: 267000 compared with over a million.

Also, only two videos in no way reflects every other video on Youtube as well as hype in general. Those numbers could be entirely determined by the age of each channel's subscribers.

[tigertron]

"Apparently 13 year olds don't like Battlefield 3". Good, I'm not trying to stereotype here, but there are a hell of alot of kids that ruin online shooters. Should be good for mature gamers.

There are mature kids, and I hope they do play BF3, but BF is a series for the mature.

[AngelicIceDiamond]

Highly agreed.

[buckley]

Thank god.

[AngelicIceDiamond]

I'm sure they do like cod more Battlefields to complex and they cant follow simple commands. So in Cod they're gonna brag about "how I spawn killed this guy 18 times." or "how I killed this guy with an RC 15 times in a row." Its a nood fest of little 13 year olds thinkin there 20? Psss please you go to bed at 8:00.

[michirican123]

GOOD! Whew

[DC1980]

Battlefield = Veterans

Call of Duty = Rookies

[mateo124]

If this is true, I will most definately choose this over MW3. All those screaming little 13 year olds don't know whats good for them

[BlueEye]

What is this a game about history?

On topic: I'm 15, started playing CoD 13, little interest in BF3, my interest in CoD is severely fading away aaand in general people should not have a mic unless they are in a party with friends, otherwise everyone is just pissing each other off and being assholes.

Anyway let people play what they want to play, if a kid with an annoying high pitched voice is talking use the Mute button, its there for a reason, if a person is pissing you off with an annoying "tactic" don't assume that person to be younger then you and deal, shot him in his/her face.

[SYNTAXeRror]

View count is why, battlefield at the time of that pic almost has a million moremviews

[Jack-Pyro]

I'd like to point out that the numbers for the Battlefield video came from the official channel, and the numbers for the COD video came from a third party channel...

Let's see what the numbers are for the official channel....

[gamestorecowgirl]

About the same. Give it a looksee.

[Snakefist30]

THAMK GOD!

[benleescott]

Good job, take an official Battlefield video and take one from somewhere on YouTube promising MW3 gameplay. I'm buying BF3 and i can already see such an unfair comparison.

[blackz001]

Mhhh when i was 13 i loved to play the old battlefield games....
btw: BF3 vs MW3 Trailer
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[Harelgur]

Apparently 13 Year old's love MW3.
im not surprised

[retrofly]

Its a completely unfair comparison, you have to look at who published the video. MW3 - Rejoignez-nouse? Could be their fan base is 100% under 18's?

BF3 vid is published by the official BF3 channel, its possible the BF3 vid had a few Hundred thousand fews of under 18's but its just not a big enough majority to be shown.

[crapfreakdad]

No 13 year olds....good

[FPS_Aslan]

Where is the Skill "SITTING IN ONE PLACE" getting "EASY KILLS"?
This aint CoD...
This is where the "BIG BOYS" are playin!

BATTLEFIELD 3 FTFW.

[SignifiedSix]

Good! Let the little kiddies play their arcade shooter. :)

[elhefe]

I find it so ironic when 30 year olds complain about how immature 13 year olds are.

[Big_Dom]

We're all just still big kids, really.

[Big_Dom]

Good! Stay the fuck away from my game, ya ankle biting bastards.

[hougigo]

Why does it even matter... 13 year old kids aren't even supposed to be able to buy these games

[hougigo]

Why does it matter? 13 year old kids aren't supposed to be able to buy either games anyway

[ATiElite]

1. Good, cause Veteran Battlefield players don't like 13 year olds on their servers. Go play COD!
2. 13 year olds can't play it anyway as it will be Rated M.
3. All 13 year olds were 6 years old when Battlefield 2 came out in 2005 so they have NO CLUE about the series anyway.
4. How many 13 year olds have actually played Battlefield 3.....ZERO!
5. only North America likes COD, the world likes Battlefield according to these charts.

Battlefield 3 = online tactical warfare for ADULTS!

[gamingisnotacrime]

im happy i preordered this gem

[kza]

GOOD!

[lareka]

Dont hate the kids guys, we were kids once as well. Everybody pls post ur age and tell if u prefer bf3 or mw3. Me : age 26, bf3

[Parasyte]

26 years young and I most definitely prefer Battlefield, but it wasn't always that way.

I used to be a big CoD player right up until around the time the MW2 Javelin Glitch got popular. I got so frustrated that I couldn't even play it. So, a friend of mine says, "Try Bad Company 2. You might like it." And lo-and-behold, he was right. I loved BC2 and have never looked back to CoD. It just doesn't seem interesting or fun to me anymore.

On a side note, I kind of find it funny how the "mature adults" that support these "statistics" are showing it by posting like the "immature 13-year-olds" that they so despise.

[warhawk1234]

Logically that makes sense. Call of duty the franchise hasn't really been around long only a months longer then battlefield. Both got great reviews. Each left there own stake on the FPS genre. Both have a hardcore fan base. The only problem though Call of duty is more an arcade first person shooter were as battlefield is not. Battlefield is more along the lines of a Strategic first person shooter. They are both first person shooters. Good ones at that, but if one likes battlefield the more team focused shooter then cool. Were if you like run and gun then go for call of duty. Still will probably pick up both. The question is isn't illegal for some one under the recommend age to playing the games. Either of them.

To all 13 and younger, GTFO

13 years old should not really be playing Cod or Bf3

Can't wait to try out the two player campaign mode with my dad hes older now but been playing games with me and taking me to arcades since my younger years,this game is going to be really fun.

When I was 13 I was on BF1942. Bought Black Ops to see what the COD fuss was all about. Got hooked for about a week because I liked the feeling of MVP'ing most of the time, then went back to Project Reality mod for BF2. My satisfaction comes mostly from teamwork and the feeling of being needed on a battlefield.

Good then they could stay off the online. :D

Not all 13 years olds sound like 5 year olds, but a majority do and its kind of annoying. I'm aware of the mute button but still lol.

A troling article tipical of n4g.

If they don't like it, don't play it, simple as that.

[death2smoochie]

This is no surprise. BF games have always attracted a older gaming audience while COD has mostly young players.
Another great reason to play BF3

M RATED games wasn't meant for 13yr old's to play in the first place.

That kinda explains the jelly blood in MW2.

[PhantomT1412]

Well, thirteen is the age where you reach the peak of your dumbness (no offense, that actually targeted myself).

[shauzy]

This isn't fair, the mw3 video has 260 thousand views while the battefield one has a million views, it's different, when the video of mw3 reaches a million come and make two charts.

Journalism!!!

[ikral]

I give a puck what kids will play, they dont like GT either.

[BioRevenant]

This could just mean that younger BF fans are smarter and they lie about their age to watch mature content on youtube. js, not really being serious.

[leogets]

well 13 year olds shouldnt be playing 18 rated games in the 1st place so whats the point of this discussion. go play ya wiis kiddies.

[YodaCracker]

This is just a terrible analysis. There are so many variables that could skew the results. The number of views, the channel the video is on, where the video is being linked from, and so on. The apostrophe in "Olds" in the title perfectly sets the tone for this whole article; DUMB! Did a 13-year-old actually write the article?
