Ugh, I jsut had this conversation with another guy on a different thread. Long sotry short, it was a bad game, let alone a bad CoD game. I was an obvious cash in on IW's success. Treyarch fucked up HC mode, co-op, single player, multiplayer, and pretty much the whole game. Hell, it took 3 patches just to be playable for most people. I could go into detail, but I would prefer not to repeat myself unlesss you absolutely need me to.
The only difference between snipers is the fire rate? I honestly have no idea where you got that from. Go shoot a M40 then a Baretta .50 Cal and there is a huge difference between them. Plus there's like 30 different guns in the game, so why would you say that the weapons lacked variety?D_987 said:
I also don't see how you dislike the prestige system in CoD4. What's wrong with implementing an effective and fairly easy way to extend the life of the MP? Nobody's forcing to you to prestige, and many people like to do it because it gives them a higher goal to strive towards. CoD4 would be a lot duller without it, and is, from what I've heard from my lvl 55 10th prestige friends.
I played through the PC version 100% fine with no patches installed. And the single player campaign was not bad, given it was not brilliant, it was still above average.Halfbreed13 said:
Ill leave it there, neither of us wants to have a ***** fight over the internet im pretty sure, just wanted to know what you didn't like about it so much :S
Oh and on topic, the box art does look like crap with the CoD logo stuck on there.
Huh... Well whatever Activision thinks is right I guess. As long as the game is good, call it anything you damn well please.
Allow me to introduce you to the human, or homo sapiens: A fledgling, backwards creature, that is remarkable for it's extraordinarily short attention span, and lack of attention to detail.Clashero said:
HAH! That sounds something out of a Monty Python sketch, if I buy this game I'll make it happen!Keane Ng said:
Hilarious turn of events, considering it was such a bold move too. It's a giant kick in the balls for them, to find that their successful game isn't quite as successful as they thought it was.
Not without the CoD tag anyway.
You're gonna get some trouble when they actually do start numbering the games again.Salem_Wolf said:
More on topic, I'm happy they decided to call it CoD again, because honestly "Modern Warfare" on its own is a horrible title for a game.
Also the customer awareness thing doesn't surprise me, everybody knows CoD but only the hardcore crowd knows that MW2 is a sequel to CoD4:MW. For most people it was simply CoD4.
The whole purpose of dropping the Call of Duty prefix was to get the game attention, and now no-one cares so they're getting more attention now.
It seems to me that this box art is a fake. Or at least a preliminary concept. The most notable thing is the "Xbox Live" in the upper right corner. All new Xbox 360 games only say "Live" yet this box breaks that with "Xbox Live". That and the fact that this is the same picture GameInformer had on its cover a couple months ago. It seems unlikely that the same picture on the magazine would be the picture on the box, because GI would be showing off the game's cover art before it is actually unveiled; something they'd never do. Everything looks photoshopped on, and very well could be. Nothing on the cover is "new" or something the public hasn't seen. Magazine cover onto old 360 case with the Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty logos photoshopped over top.
