WINNER: Modern Warfare

Although the Call of Duty vs Battlefield rivalry is pretty intense, we thought it was more interesting to pit Call of Duty against itself.

One series invented zombies, the other brought the whole franchise back into the mix. It's fair to say they've both put the work in.

Black Ops has certainly done more than its fair share of work in the Call of Duty franchise. Bringing the madness of zombies and delivering three stellar single-player campaigns is no laughing matter.

Modern Warfare has arguably had the bigger impact in the end though. Alongside two amazing campaigns, multiplayer in Call of Duty was pretty much perfected for Modern Warfare 2. Compare this to the most recent Black Ops games, which have tried adding things like health meters, boost boots and even a battle royale mode.

The balance could be disturbed even further if the upcoming Modern Warfare reboot is as good as it looks. Let’s hope Treyarch give their next game the same love.
