yeah but its not the easiest thing to do, Im not convinced a game with a real world feel would really be as epic as planetside sometimes was, I would love to see a planetside 2 but I doubt that will ever happenTalshere said:Worgen said:
We defiantly need a new MMOFPS that isnt trying to masquerade as an RPG (Pay attention Tabula Rasa) That new Global Initiative thing on steam just didn't feel the same :/
Idk, scale up Battlefield 2 to mmo size. It felt pretty epic just as it was. No particular why, with reason with some software tweaks, server upgrades and the addition of the mmo prerequisite stuff like a faction safe zone, BF 2 couldnt be an awesome MMOFPS, thats set in the modern era.Worgen said:yeah but its not the easiest thing to do, Im not convinced a game with a real world feel would really be as epic as planetside sometimes was, I would love to see a planetside 2 but I doubt that will ever happenTalshere said:Worgen said:

I can't say that this business move isn't wrong, considering how incredibly popular the Call of Duty franchise is in the multiplayer online space. At the same time however, I was never motivated to get Call of Duty Black Ops to begin with. I'm getting Medal of Honor instead, mainly because that cinematic, blockbuster feel for an FPS single player campaign is something I haven't come across since Call of Duty 4. MoH looks like its set to deliver.

perhaps but the problem with real world is that it has real rules, future world has possibilities, real world has limitsTalshere said:Idk, scale up Battlefield 2 to mmo size.

Aside from all the blind hatred this will cause towards them, I actually think it's a bad business move from Activision. Gamers already pay for XBOX Live, they're not going to fork out for 2 subscriptions.
I certainly wouldn't pay extra to play a game I paid 60 quid for when I'm already paying Microsoft to have the privilege of raging at the TV every night.

I'm actually kinda glad that CoD has the ridiculously extensive fanbase it does. It keeps Activision's attention away from other games. Ones that don't suck.
As much as Kot-dick is a jerk, I'm surprisingly excited for Black-Ops... well... maybe because I skipped Modern Warfare 2... they can go f*ck themselves if they announce a MW3 some time in the next year.
Microtransaction for good ol' COD... I don't see the appeal to keep paying for a non MMO game that I've already bought. Hell, I don't even see the appeal to keep paying for a MMO.

Most people would agree that CoD4:2 is for the most part "real world", yet the concept of a "heart beat monitor" is utter bull.Worgen said:
To the same extent Splinter Cell is based in the real world, yet conviction had a pair of goggles that allowed you to see through walls.
We have sufficient tech and potential near future tech in the real world atm that most ideas presented correctly can be fobbed off and are believable, though tbh I dont believe they are needed. Again I comp back to BattleField 2. Yeah ok the medic running around zapping people back to life isnt the most realistic thing ever but it works.
Hearing this doesn't really make me wan't to buy the next cod. I am on the fence about Black Ops and knowing how greedy the people who make it are. Doesn't make me want to buy anything more from them.
They might want to start working on their public image.

So what does one receive as "premium" content for a game as shallow as COD? A bloody assassin to break the necks of all squeaking, bilious twats?
Looking back at when I played COD4 online, there is not a single, realistic thing they could do to make Call of Duty worth paying monthly for in my eyes.

I drive past the BP station to fill up my tank, and I shuffle right past the Activision titles when I'm buying games. Life is too short to give my hard-earned money to fucking assholes.
I was watching my mate play MW2 yesterday on his PC and his screen-name was Activision. No shit he fought a guy called Modern-Warfare and he kept owning for the entire match, so it kept saying 'Activision killed Modern-Warfare' on the little post board on the screen. We were just laughing our asses off because everyone else on the server kept laughing as well. It was just such a cruel joke.Comando96 said:Hahaha
Computer players will find loopholes around this if it happens
Good luck console folks xD
(The irony is that I don't play MW2 anymore, I just want to hear the cries of "Death to Activision")
'Twas pretty cool tho. XD
They DO think gamers are stupid, however there will always be people to buy whatever they put out.Tox1C420 said:
They could announce a new feature where you link your credit card to the game's "uber" button that makes you have 3x health and 3x damage while you have it turned on then later bills you for how long it was used. Then to make it even better have competitions with cash/fame prizes where the competitors can set the uber button to any amount of health or damage, the amount of money increasing proportionally to their power level of course. People would buy tha, and it's sad.
