'Battlefield 1' Trailer Most Liked In YouTube History, 'Infinite Warfare' Trailer Most Disliked (gamespot.com)
An anonymous reader writes: The Battlefield 1 reveal trailer has officially passed 20 million views, with around 1 million likes and just 18,500 dislikes. Meanwhile, Infinite Warfare's announcement trailer has passed 14 million views, but with only 273,819 likes and a staggering 1.3 million dislikes. The Battlefield 1 trailer is YouTube's most liked trailer of all-time, while Infinity Ward's trailer is YouTube's most disliked trailer of all-time. How is that for a statistic? Battlefield and Call of Duty have been direct competitors in the FPS space for quite some time now, but the differences between each developer's upcoming game has never been more apparent. We can only wait and see if these likes/dislikes provide any insight as to how well each game will sell when they're released later in the year. Battlefield 1 comes out first, launching on October 21, while Infinite Warfare is slated to debut on November 4. In addition, Infinite Warfare has become the 8th most disliked video ever on YouTube. What do you think of each trailer?

I thought the new Ghostbusters trailer was the most disliked? Are they trying to bury the truth?

underwhelmed.
Because I read somewhere that the Ghostbusters trailer was the most disliked in history.
General Relativity: Space-time tells matter where to go; Matter tells space-time what shape to be.
but I give a fuck about how popular some game trailer is on youtube. I can understand why somebody likes the popularity of a video, and I can understand people being fans of video games, but I doubt anyone reasonable cares about how popular some trailer video for some game is. I like youtube for many areas of videos, but trailers are not one of them.
I skipped the last 3 or 4 CoD's because I felt they were boring, rehashed crap that I didn't want to play. Yet this new CoD I'm actually kind of interested in, maybe even excited for. Its finally a departure from the old CoD mainstay of old wars and does something new, at least in CoD sense. I think the people disliking the trailer wouldn't be satisfied no matter what the game was. They were downvoting the title, not the game's content. The story and gameplay seem distinct from previous CoD incarnations, and in a good way. The parts of the trailer where they were in zero-g were particularly interesting in terms of how it will change the normal dynamic in single and multiplayer (I hope to god they have some zero-G MP levels).
All in all, I don't think the new CoD is as bad as its ratings suggest. I think this is just fanboism at its finest.
And just to reassure those that think I may some inherent bias, I am a previous player of BF2 (and its expansions), BF3, and BF4 (which I currently love). I liked the CoD series up to the first Black Ops and then got tired of it all. I am not the kind of person to jump to defend a game purely based on its title or pedigree, I truly think this looks like a good one, but only time will tell.
So I have no comment. I do have a question though. Do they still have the wheels on them?
Infinite Warfare gets a thumbs down for ships banking in space.

Jerky, low quality "HD" doesn't do Infinite's take on the Blair Witch Project much good. I disliked it on general production principles.
Battlefield is more like Avengers with choreographed action scenes and slicker cinematography.
They're both over-produced, vigorously masturbatory, sophomoric and turgid. Might've well as hired a bunch of body-builders in camo holding ridiculous guns to just stand around and yell "Fuuuuuu" continuously for a couple minutes.
Hollywood has released some awesome movies and giant turds too, I'm sure they all seemed like a good idea at some point. Just launch both and let the market decide, the pre-hype wars are just tedious.
Live today, because you never know what tomorrow brings
To be honest it's just trailers. It seems like the "Mob" of the internet is a bunch of kids that just like to yell what they think about EVERYTHING on the internet now. It's like an informed opinion after playing the game, demo, beta, whatever, but not just watching a TRAILER is illegal now. If you're not a fan of the direction of where the game is going vote with your dollar.
Forgive my ignorance, since I’m not a gamer, but what is it that people hate so much about the Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare trailer? I’m just curious.
You can't rate a trailer without knowing how many wheels it has or how many tons of freight it can carry.
How is this news, important or relevant to anyone in any way?
I gotta be honest, I don't get it. They both show lots of intense action with a theatrical setup, the COD game appears to be more like a competitor with Halo than with the Battlefield game, which appeared to be set in the early 20th century, but they both looked like engaging, well developed games. The COD gameplay actually looked more interesting to me, as it had space combat elements (something I enjoy), whereas Battlefield appeared to be more strictly FPS.
That having been said, I'm not a fan of either game. I've never played either one. My taste leans more towards character-driven stories than straight combat, which makes both of these look rather boring.
/sarcasm Obviously Quantity is more important then Quality and McDoanalds is better then gourmet food, right? Oh wait ...
Quantity != Quality.

i.e. Anaconda has 587,510,111 views, 2,532,957 likes (0.4%) and 1,160,130 dislikes (0.19%). Yes < 1%. This tells us fuck all about quality.
WRT to games, Zero fucks are given about latest-fps-fad. In 4 years the hype will begin again for the latest Battlefield and COD. Repeat ad nausea

Well, to be honest I don't like trailers very much, tent trailers doubly so. Nothing beats a truck camper because backing up with a trailer is a lot of trouble.
So how come Battlefield 1, which came out in 2002, has nicer graphics and more YouTube likes than Battlefront 4? Is this another retro thing? YouTube wasn't even a thing when this title came out.
Mind you, it came out just a few months after its target platform, the XBox 1.

It has been proven over and over again that once a couple of people stand out from the crowd and respond to anything first, the rest of the sheep will follow.
And we'll find out how much viral marketing, spamming, false likes... or dislikes are being generated by these corporations on Youtube.
Likes/Dislikes are a poor way to measure the vaue oif something--maybe cause there's no statistics behind it?

No, it isn't. Psy's Gangnam Style music video has both more likes and more views. I'm sure many videos on YouTube do.
I have mixed feelings about them making WW1 exciting. I somehow doubt there'll be a part in it where you walk slowly into machine-gun fire.
Is the new Battlefield still going to use a web UI as the "main control panel / console" like they've done with the others?
For some reason, I really dislike that. I know you can play the game itself full-screen so it shouldn't really matter, but there's just something about it I find jarring? I guess I'm used to 2+ decades of games designed so everything having to do with the program is part of the program. Feels like they took shortcuts just launching my browser and doing some of the stuff in there.
Battlefield 1 trailer is YouTube's most liked trailer of all-time, while Infinity Ward's trailer is YouTube's most disliked trailer of all-time.
I'm imagining Dick Grayson wearing six Infinity Gems while Bruce Wayne tries to use him to reshape reality so that both their parents never died.

Nice to see that the viral marketing is working
Don't forget to buy the latest generic fps, guys
Toxins are poisons made by living organisms. Last time I checked, cars weren't living organisms
Is there anything the media doesn't insist on calling poisonous, toxic or deadly anyway?
Can and are being purchased en mass by marketing companies...
I wouldn't take them as a sign of anything.
TF2 FTW!
Battlefield 1 makes you feel like you are kicking ass. Call of Duty make it feel like your ass was kicked.
I don't recall flamethrower heavies from my WWI history books. I wonder if this game intends to be authentic to the period or if it'll just spin off into some exaggerated steampunk BS.
I liked this debate better when it was Quake 3 vs. Unreal Tournament. Of course we all know Quake won.
What a coincidence. Very expensive game's trailer gets top on youtube. Who do you think is renting all the botnets? Occam's razor tells me it's the party with the most cash to burn and actually something to gain, money wise. This is common practice, like buying facebook likes in the 10thousands. Only difference: facebook is kinda open about it while google still tries to play the "no evil" card and if caught screams "AMGHAXXORS".
What can be bought, will be bought.
Is this just modern day thumb wrestling?
Wish I had that patent: "Thumb wrestling --- only it's on the INTERNET"
Remember those sullen days of youthful meagre wage empoyment? when the position of your own thumb was questioned?
Remember those halcyon days of youthful sexual adventure? when a thumb up was a real surprise?
Waiting for a mod that allows cross world fighting so the BF1 vs COD warriors can prove their thumbing claims.
The trailer worked against the game highlighting poor visuals and bland color palette. Worst of all it was too long, excess of 3 mins. In contrast Battlefield trailer clocked at just around 1 min.
Creed.
The BF1 trailer is easily viewable, where as the CoD trailer requires you to sign-in before viewing.
For me this was a non-starter situation and can be quite annoying (why force me to sign-up/login when you could just ask me to confirm I want to see it?)
So I could see people reacting negatively to *this* and hitting dislike because of that and not because the trailer is particularly bad.
Sounds like both war simulators are very popular with small children to me. Maybe CoD vs. Battlefield can become an ideological war someday, when it grows up.

Simple as that.
There is a pretty good reason why flight sims, at least in player-vs-player scenarios, are pretty much relegated to the second World War. Modern plane fights are not really interesting. You have weapon systems that pretty much double as aimbots. That makes for a pretty efficient war, but in a simulated environment it also means a very poor experience. It's not interesting. It's mostly a matter of luck rather than skill who kills whom first. This isn't what people want, People want an exciting game, maybe with a hint of a strategy element to it, but mostly it should be about seeing the enemy and hitting him better and faster than he hits you. And, and this this absolutely crucial, the player has to have the feeling that he won because he and his ability matter.
That's simply not the case with automated turrets and guns with a billion rounds firing a million thereof per second.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
Fans: we're sick of this futuristic crap, jumping off walls, etc
Infinity Ward: Hey look, it's super cool spaceships! We thought spaceships were cool so we made them.
Fans: *DISLIKE*
That is the best summary of what happens.

Then you missed out on Counter-Strike, and Team Fortress (not to mention the original Capture the Flag.)
