OMFG! CA11 0F DUTY!!!!

[enzilewulf]

CoD is fun with friends. This forum has been done a million times. We get it. CoD is over hyped and shitty. Yet storms are shitty too. Until you get a big group of friends who are all hyper and go out side and have fun doing the most random shit in it. That sums up CoD.

 

[Cythros]

Apparently I only partially agree with the majority opinion then, because I found both CoD4 and MW2 to be pretty good (in the way of multiplayer at least), not CoD4 alone. Also, those two games have been made by Activision and Infinity Ward, not Treyarch. Treyarch is responsible for World at War and Black Ops, both of which I think are far worse than anything Infinity Ward put out (and I barely had any hope in them before they were even released). In spite of this, though, I doubt Modern Warfare 3 will be any good. Yeah Inifity Ward is making it, but a lot of their developers ended up getting fired sometime after MW2. I'll be very surprised if the rest of IW are capable of even putting out a halfway decent game at this point.

 

[Ashcrexl]

huh. i actually havent noticed anything overpowered (except in very limited quantities) in these games. what exactly are you referring to? be more specific than random SMG/AR

 

[TheTim]

Omg you know what else we deal with other than the hype every year? people saying about how bland call of duty is.
YOU ARE JUST AS ANNOYING AS THE CALL OF DUTY FAN BOYS

 

[Steppin Razor]

This isn't some obscure thing known only by a few people, it is obvious. Incredibly fucking obvious. So obvious that I'm starting to think this is just a thinly disguised hate thread about CoD, in which case, why didn't you just make a CoD hate thread?

Up next: the earth is round.

Everybody knows the world is flat and that you can sail off the edges if you go too far. Take your bullshit claim elsewhere.

Also lots of needless spacing.

Spacing adds emphasis.

And stuff.

Well, I think that's the reason, although it could be

that their grasp of basic sentence and paragraph structure

is fucked.

 

[godofallu]

Are. You. Fucking. Kidding me.

Dude, the Call of Duty series is responsible for about 50% of the useless bitching that goes on on this site, and take it from me, that's a LOT of fucking bitching.

Frankly, I wish you all would just shut the fuck up about it. You don't like it, don't play it. I don't like Final Fantasy, but you don't see me making a hate thread every time they announce a new one. That would be a retarded waste of time.

HINT. HINT.

Seconded, or in this case more like 100,000th. Seriously how many times do we have to say this before people drop the CoD/Halo hate?

 

[Jake0fTrades]

Because, apparently, your the only one who notices those complaints.

Also, everyone plays their own way including noobs, get over it and deal with on your own. Developers arent going to change their plans because people complain about other peoples habits.

I'm not complaining here, I just think it's odd that everyone gets hyped up, and then moans when it doesn't live up to their standards, and this happens again and again and again but NO ONE clues in on this.

 

[Zeema]

I can't wait for MW3. Gonna play the shit out of it.

hell yeah [raise's hand for a hi 5]

but the same can be really said about any game look a New vegas everyone was like

'Oh can't wait for this game' when it came out 2 threads popped up LOTS

New Vegas SUCK's

or

or why the hate for new vegas

You're not you're just the only one arrogant enough to assume that you are.

I refute this statement. Everyone has a very big fucking clue in this. Obvious pattern is obvious, we've just all learned to accept it. Why can't you?

Just my opinion here but it seems like Call of Duty and Halo have gotten a bad and slightly unfair rep.It looks to me like those games have made us "gamers" about 100% more socially acceptable. In my school I can walk up to any guy (and some girls) and have at least a 60% chance of being able to have a conversation about a game like CoD(albiet usually a shallow one).They are now filling the niche similar to the one Battle LA and the Expendables occupy in cinema.

Also Call of Duty has made Russians at least 60% cooler than pre-Cod 4 times.

 

[funguy2121]

Seriously, we go through this same routine. Every. Single. Time.

Treyarch/Activision announces the next installment of Call of Duty and so it begins...

"Oh my God, this is gonna be so awesome! I can't wait! They're going to fix every problem!"

This has been said for World at War, Modern Warfare 2, Black Ops, and now Modern Warfare 3. And within a month, it is immediately followed by...

"Dude, this sucks! (Random SMG/AR) is SO overpowered, only noobs use it, man, CoD 4 was SO much better than this!"

Why am I the only one noticing this pattern here?

Everyone at some point gets fixated on one game/franchise/movie series/show/band. That's the problem. Regardless of the (wavering, in my opinion) quality of the actual games, fanboyism puts undo pressure on the series that simply churns out too many titles to maintain consistent quality.

But there's other shooters, and other genres out there.

 

[funguy2121]

Seriously, we go through this same routine. Every. Single. Time.

Some new game comes out and people have to complain about people enjoying it.

"Wah! They're so annoying! Why do they like what I don't like?"

This had been done for Halo, Gears, Mass Effect, etc.

Also lots of needless spacing.

Why am I the only one noticing this pattern here?

And everytime, there's someone who complain's about the people complaining

And someone will eventually complain about that person and the cycle continues until someone makes a lame inception joke.

Why am I the only one noticing this pattern here?

Because its a complaint within a complaint

can we just let it die now?

Seriously, we go through this same routine. Every. Single. Time.

Treyarch/Activision announces the next installment of Call of Duty and so we let it live...

And someone says that we should let it die. I'm so sick of hearing people complain that something should die when someone else is complaining about a third party complaining about a developer making yet another game in an already crowded franchise.

This has been said for the guy who complained, that other guy who whines a lot, the dude who bitches too much and now Whiny McFadden. And within a month, it is immediately followed by...

"Dude, let it die!"

Why am I the only one noticing this failure to die here?


In other news: captcha would like for me to peter out. Duly noted, new captcha.

You mean post-Gulf War times. I am old

 

[MiracleOfSound]

I can't wait for MW3. Gonna play the shit out of it.

Gets a 10/10. Perfect story. More real than Arma 2. No plot holes. Game of the Year.

.

MW2's campaign would have been a 10/10 for me if it were a couple of hours longer.

I un-ironically, unashamedly love it.

 

[DaHero]

It's called "marketing to teenagers by hyping a mature title"

We see it all the time, "your mom's gonna hate it" "all the COOL gamers will be playing it" "Best game of E3!" "Not for children!"

We see it for Halo, CoD, BF, and other big FPS games, why? Because all they do is salve the ego-manian that is the young teenager. By playing a mature title and "pwning noobs" they get some sense of entitlement like they've accomplished something. It's sad, but that's what a real gamer is these days. Too mainstream for me...where's my Morrowind Sound and Graphics Editor? *glasses*

It's also a sign of the times, CoD would have never survived if it was a PC only release, because PC gamers were too busy with Half Life (1 or 2?) to notice a brown shooter with no story and a total lack of logical flow.

CoD is aimed at teenagers on a console that love to trash talk. Good job Bill Gates, you proved humanity loves to salve their own ego.

good for you. In our country the "socially acceptable" game is the FIFA series and I fucking hate Soccer (or any other sport for that mattter) therefore I'm not even able to socialize with the ones who do play games. -___- The irony.

Because it takes about a month for the novelty of COD to wear off, having completed the single player campaign and grinded until bored online-its more fun to excitedly talk about that awesome single-player moment when you jump off the Effiel Tower firing a RPG in each hand at a terrorist blimp when you and your friends have just got the game and then a few weeks later its more fun to complain about how imbalanced lasor equipped attack dogs are in Domination.
