Battlefield 6 Trailer Angers COD Fans
The rivalry between Battlefield and Call of Duty is one of the longest-running debates in the gaming world. This time, however, the focus is on the live-action trailer for Battlefield 6. The trailer’s overt references pitted fans of the two series against each other and generated significant buzz on social media. The question on everyone’s mind is: Where will this rivalry lead?
A Call of Duty Reference in the Battlefield 6 Trailer
The trailer for Battlefield 6 begins with a cinematic scene. Featuring famous actors like Zac Efron, Jimmy Butler, Morgan Wallen, and Paddy Pimblett, this opening is a clear nod to the iconic actor and athlete concept that Call of Duty has frequently used in its marketing campaigns over the past decade. But the real surprise comes when the team is neutralized by a missile within seconds.
Following this scene, a team of real soldiers takes the stage, and the answer to the question, “Who were they?” is “It doesn’t matter.” This dialogue emphasizes Battlefield’s identity while offering a critique of Call of Duty’s star-studded trailers. The message that the game’s true strengths are the soldiers, the atmosphere of war, and the devastating action is striking.
The trailer then highlights the game’s dynamics. Intense combat on an urban map, destructible environments, and striking gadget usage are showcased. This revitalizes Battlefield’s strengths: environmental destruction and tactical gameplay.
Call of Duty has recently been taking various steps to mitigate community backlash. In particular, tweaking some of the cosmetics featured in Black Ops 7 and giving it a more “authentic” look was part of this effort. However, this sarcastic reference, introduced by the Battlefield 6 trailer, has reignited the rivalry.
With Battlefield 6 set to release on October 10th, comparisons between these two franchises will once again be at their peak. The trailer’s references have become a hot topic not only for gamers but also for the gaming world. Only time will tell who will win this rivalry.
