Call Of Duty: Ghosts- 8.8
Battlefield 4- 8
If I could give the world one thing, it would be the ability to source check.
That particular quote is from a preview of Call of Duty Ghosts. The entire two paragraph section reads:
How next-gen is Call of Duty: Ghosts?
Infinity Ward’s made a big deal of its new engine, which, yes, with the power of a kickass PC and next-gen consoles, definitely puts Ghosts in a league above any other Call of Duty game. That said, nothing about it looks spectacular. DICE’s Frostbite 3 Engine and Battlefield 4 put Call of Duty: Ghosts to shame -- you’d never guess they were coming out in the same year. This isn’t to say Ghosts looks bad. It just doesn’t look like you’d expect a next-gen Call of Duty game to look. Its textures are still sort of washed out and the characters move in particularly inhuman ways. The real-time lighting in the next-gen and PC versions, on top of the density of detail (garbage, dust, and other particles blowing through the world) bring certain sections to life, though.
Sound, above all else, is the most impressive sensory experience in Ghosts, easily. The audio work here is exceptional -- chain link fences rattle when grenades go off; shells hitting hardwood sound different than shells dropping onto dirt or steel; contextual acoustics give each bullet a distinct sound depending on the environment in which you’re firing. Small but significant details in Call of Duty’s audio design go a long way into creating a convincing, terrifying sense of realism on the battlefield.
And of course, the Xbox One, PC, and PS4 versions of Battlefield 4 got an 8.5. That little meme you're quoting is a cherry-picked version's score contrasted with something said about the way the engines of the two games had lined up during previewing of one of them.

Rest easy though, EA wanted you and other people to read the case the way you did to fall for their lie. Marketers do it all the time. Not everyone knows how to parse propaganda. Next time, start by typing the quote into google.
The important thing to remember about box quotes is they are always a lie. A box quote is the best thing said about a game/movie/book taken completely out of context. You can always find a way to make a quote say what you want with the context removed. Example:
