Application.

Call of Duty 2 is what I got with my 360, mostly becuase it seemed like the least crappy thing out. I will say, it far exceeded my expectations... but I doubt I'll still be playing it in 3 months. I bought my original Xbox specifically for Morrowind, and I bought my 360 specifically for Oblivion. I have put more hours of my life into Morrowind than any other video game in my life, and I've been playing video games since I was 5 years old. And even with all that, I will admit that Morrowind's actual gameplay was... pretty crappy and kind of boring. But then, Elder Scrolls' core gameplay was never fantastic, and I've been playing since Arena. Oblivion has fixed just about every single complaint I have, judging from all the information that has been released. The only reason I say Battlefield 2 will beat it in this category is becasue of the 'first'. It looks like Battlefield will come out first, but probably only by a matter of weeks. Also, with as crappy as the previous-gen console ports were, it could still go horribly wrong. Further, this would fall into another divide - with and without Live. Battlefield is onyl a Killer App if you have Live. Oblivion does not have that dependancy. And finally, though I consider them both Killer Apps, I would give up Battlefield 2 in a heartbeat for Oblivion, and I have no doubt I'll be playing Oblivion much more. The owrding of this poll is my only reason Battlefield gets my vote. Minus the release date, Oblivion gets my vote in every way.
