Blizzard's ex-CEO says Battlefield 6 will "boot stomp" Call of Duty this year because the franchise has "gone downhill" — calls it a victory for players as COD "won't be lazy" anymore


It gets lonely at the top.

Battlefield has been enjoying one hell of a resurgence these past few days, with the latest entry in the series poised to mark a sensational comeback for the FPS genre as a whole. A lot of players return to COD out of habit, so the question now becomes whether Battlefield 6 can ride the wave to change the status quo or is this all just a temporary mirage until they make yet another Modern Warfare with updated gun sounds and animations that lure people back like a pie sitting at a window. The game's open beta will end tomorrow, so expect the news cycle to slow down, but you can bet EA will do everything in its power to keep the hype machine rolling for what has sprung up as their best shot at the military shooter crown since Battlefield 1.
