The question of whether Call of Duty: Ghosts or Battlefield 4 is the better game will rage on until the next series of games are released, but does one game have a clear edge over the other in terms of online gameplay?

Fans of both games have reported difficulties with online gameplay, but it seems that most of the complaints in this category have pointed towards Battlefield 4.

Patrick Soderlund, who serves as the executive vice president for EA, elaborated upon the new challenges faced by the game's creators in making sure there wouldn't be any connection woes.

"When Battlefield 4 launched, it was a very complex game, launching on two entirely new console platforms, as well as current-gen and PC," Soderlund explained. "We were pushing innovation heavily and we're delivering 60 frames per second gameplay for 64 players plus the ability to connect via mobile tablet as a Commander into the product, coupled those with some very innovative features on the gameplay side. Based on our pre-launch testing and beta performance, we were confident the game was ready when it was launched. Shortly after launch, however, we began hearing about problems from our player community, and the development team quickly began to address the situation."

Meanwhile, the Call of Duty: Ghosts website has a page dedicated to the status of online gameplay for each of the game's platforms, ranging from Xbox 360 to PlayStation 4 and even Wii and PC. A visit to the Call of Duty: Ghosts website on Tuesday afternoon indicated that "all online services are fully operational."
