Call of Duty is beating Battlefield on YouTube and Twitch for the first time in years Battlefield and Call of Duty are two of the most popular first person shooter franchises out there. Naturally, there\u2019s going to be some competition between the two. In terms of YouTube and Twitch viewership and interaction, Battlefield has had the edge, but it looks like Black Ops 4 is ready to put CoD back in the driver\u2019s seat. According to GitHyp.com, Battlefield V\u2019s reveal on YouTube, which had 12 million views, was far less popular than CoD: WW2\u2019s reveal last year, which had over 23 million viewers. Now let\u2019s look at the numbers for CoD\u2019s newest installment, Black Ops 4 and compare the two. Posted around the same time as Battlefield V\u2019s multiplayer reveal, the BO4 multiplayer reveal video has about the same number of viewers, but a much higher rate of upvotes. Battlefield V\u2019s reveal video from May has around 336k upvotes as compared to 477k downvotes. The BO4 numbers are much more positive, with 377k upvotes and 223k downvotes on its reveal video from around the same time. GitHyp also reports that CoD has taken the lead on Twitch. Black Ops 4\u2019s private beta has shown off the new Blackout Battle Royale mode and it\u2019s been well received by streamers and the community alike. Blackout has pumped up CoD\u2019s Twitch numbers to a peak of 367k viewers, far more than the peak of 141k for CoD WW2 last year. Battlefield, on the other hand, has only seen it\u2019s Twitch viewership go down from the peak of 150k viewers in May for the BF V reveal. Compare that to the 354k who watched BF1\u2019s reveal in 2016 and we start to see a definite pattern.
