I'm sorry, as long as Treyarch still come up with original ideas, unlike IW who blatantly steal the work of a modder, they're still on top.Feralbreed said:
If Treyarch wouldn't be working under the CoD banner, and wouldn't be forced to push a title out every 2 years, they'd easily make better games.
Also, let's look at MW3's horde mode or MW2's multiplayer. When IW have to copy DICE and Treyarch, coming up with a mixture of Onslaught and Zombies, and when for MW2's multiplayer you have to steal the work of a modder, you know the creative behidn your game is ZILCH.
Should Treyarch have had some time, good technology, and should they have been free from Kotick, Black Ops would've been a shooter of it's own kind.
Unfortunately most CoD fans aren't aware of this.
In what manner did CoD4 revolutionize anything? The pretty standard linear CoD story I got in CoD/CoD:UO, a modern setting already used, but rarely acknolwedged mostly because, as I have already said, CoD players are barely older, or in many cases a lot younger, than the game engine that powers their game, and have little or no knowledge of gaming pre-CoD because that's where they started. Much like the My First FP...I mean Halo kids where with their "Halo is the first FPS evaaaar" comments.Feralbreed said:
The better killstreaks are actually from a mod for CoD4. But I doubt most of you CoD guys even know what a mod is, since you're mostly console players.
Migration...well, I can't argue with that, but only on the Xbox 360. PS3 and PC are neglected SOBs.
And yes, I finally logged in, I'm the guy that made the huge post earlier (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.296134-Poll-Call-of-Duty?page=2#11699204)
Played every CoD up to this point on consoles, and I am OK with it, but WaW felt like the last good one, MW2 being a hacker cesspool within a week of being released and Black Ops making me realize I was playing samey shooters much later than I should have. I mean, the games are amazing considering they are made within 2 years because of Activision wanting a new one every year, they just don't have the time to really innovate.
One thing, at least.
No more preorders for Treyarch or Infinity Ward, no purchases until I know that I might enjoy the game for having something to mix it up.

I am still yet to hear why treyarch get such shit for there games, there is serious venom thrown at that dev team.
Anyway, I like MW2 and black ops but balance issues and weapon choices that were chosen to be in the game stop it from being great. Take MW2 for example, take out noob tube, quickscoping, stacking kill streaks and the nuke, then it would have been a great game ... I would go so far as to say it would knock CS off it's mighty perch.

I loved the series until 4 (except for 3, it was pretty bad). W@W was ok, but not amazing. MW2 was plain boring and I never played Black OPS. I'm not planning on getting any more COD games. As I said, they just got boring. Everything that 4 had that I loved is gone and has been replaced by rule of cool and over the top action. I'd rather play something else.
Blops is like a much slower version of COD4, with the worst hit detection you've ever seen.XelaisPWN said:
I love MW1's campaign and online. WAW had a good campaign but the online was rather boring. Only played a wee bit of MW2 but judjing from stuff i've seen and heard, that's a good thing. Blops waas fun at first due to the insanity, but now it's an unbalanced mess.
Its splitscreen has given me countless hours of fun and hilarity with friends. However futile our goals, trying to complete a co-op mission using only your knife can be fun.
Plus, the campaign, while short, is action packed and the environments always look so nice. The level in World at War where you're overtaking that huge building in Berlin? Fucking beautiful to look at.

I used to love it but now I hate. The multiplayer is so close to being good but then they fuck it up. This is what pisses me off. It could be good but they just overload it with weapons that become meaningless stats and skins then pad it with imba killstreaks and away we go.
Meh, It's okay, but I personally would say slight dislike were it not for neutral opinion, I don't like most standard linear FPS games. I like games with different (generally unrealistic) approaches, and I'm a single-player man myself, which CoD caters less for. Also my playtime on CoD games is generally not that great... so I will say it can be okay for me, but no better than okay, because it is just not my personal cup of tea.
I'm not against it. I see it like I would a popcorn action flick. I find it fun, and I'll enjoy it when I play it, but I'll feel no real compulsion to play it, and I could easily live without it. So it's alright.
I love the CoD series. I really do. I just hate 90+% of the people who also love/play it.
A good chunk of MW2's issues could be ended if people did not just take advantage of technical issues, like quick scoping, which is an EXPLOIT!
(And the fact that "try hard" and "hard scoper" are used as insults)
