This is obviously false. Battlefield was gaining on CoD, with the gap between Battlefield 3 and CoD MW3 being relatively small that year as I recall. Problem is, EA didn't invest into Battlefield in the way they needed to to keep gaining on CoD, and let the series fall by the wayside. You can't keep up with CoD, which has 3 main AAA studios and a bunch of assistance studios, with just DICE putting out a Battlefield game every 3 years. EA needed to invest and open more AAA Battlefield studios to better compete with CoD. On top of that, DICE never learned the lessons they needed to learn, their campaigns remained lackluster compared to CoD's, they focused too heavily on high end graphics (increasing their budgets too much) and on realism and not enough on fun gameplay, while CoD continued to be good arcadey fun in the multiplayer and over the top Hollywood action movie on the campaigns. Battlefield could have continued to be a CoD competitor, but both EA and DICE ruined their chances there. It doesn't mean that building a CoD competitor is impossible however. Meanwhile, EA's Respawn, built of many former CoD devs, has managed to remain relatively close to CoD Warzone in the Battle Royale genre with Apex Legends.
