    Call of Duty has become more of a twitch shooter than a realistic military simulator. Call of Duty maps are also much smaller than Tarkov's zones.

    Battlefield does not have the looting element that Tarkov does. Battlefield's multiplayer also focuses more on constant action, rather than survival and looting. There is also a lack of PvE in Battlefield.
