This is a hard decision. I would say that I have been more consistently entertained by the Call of Duty series, with the 1st, 2nd and 4th being some of the most memorable first person shooters I have ever played. That being said, I have spent a lot of time on Battlefield 1942 and 1943 over the years (and this summer). I will give it to Call of Duty overall but BF has my respect too.
And I thought you were CitizenKane for a second. Now I see where Mordukai is coming from...that is sort of annoying.

@sammpoo: I thought you were CitizenKane, you should be careful. MB, another mod here at Giant Bomb, had someone copy his avatar, and so he changed their avatar to a Hello Kitty! one.
The only game from either series that I actually enjoyed was Battlefield: Bad Company, so I thought I'd throw the underdog a bone and vote for them, also partly due to my great disdain for Activision.
I love both...I like BF for the vehicular combat, but at the same time their infantry combat can be somewhat questionable. Call of Duty gets the infantry combat part right.
Battlefield. Feels more like a big epic battle then just a mindless skirmish. However, those mindless skirmishes are still lots of fun, but Battlefield wins for me

you pretty much stole the words out of my mouth "
what're you waiting for? sue the motherfucker
As for me, i choose COD cuz the whole series 'cept for part 3 has been one of my greatest and most memorable FPS experiences, and the only battlefield i play is BF2 so..
Each serve their own purpose, and I enjoy them both. However, the question is whether you are comparing the core Battlefield or Bad Company to Call of Duty. Bad Company plays much differently than the core Battlefield games.
During the Call of Duty, Call of Duty: United Offensive, and Call of Duty 2 era: Call of Duty was better From the Call of Duty 3, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 era: Battlefield is better.
Call Of Duty, I swear to god it is the most overrated game in history, I really really can't see whats so special about it, it's a fast paced arcade shooter with a big gun selection, I don't understand.
Huh, Mordukai's topic suddenly makes sense. I thought you were Citizen Kane for a second there!
On topic though, I think the Battlefield series (namely Battlefields 2, 1943, and Bad Company) have really pushed it up next to Call of Duty. But they are still two different games. Call of Duty has some pretty amazing single player stuff to go along with its multiplayer. Bad Company is a strange direction to take the Battlefield franchise but it's not a bad game. Sure, the campaign really only had its comedy going for it (in my opinion) but it's multiplayer was still quite good. I believe that the Battlefield franchise has the potential to pull ahead though.
They're both way different, it's hard to compare them. Call of Duty has more action overall, but Battlefield has huge maps and it takes some teamwork to get things done. It's more complicated, but once you figure everything out it's loads of fun. Overall I'd say Battlefield, but I like them both a lot.
