[Giantpanda602]

Yay for Black Ops, meh for MW, and UBER nay for MW2. I never cared for the rest.

 

[Balobo]

As much as I'm sure many people would disagree with me, it's the most fluid, fast paced, twitch based shooter on the market. The majority of the haters are just jumping on the 'it's cool to hate popular things' wagon.

Oh yes, because it's absolutely flawless and all hate can only be justified with "lol its popular."

 

[Westaway]

They are just so flawed in so may ways, and if you are host, you win, plain and simple.

I've played it twice, once drunk once sober. I had fun but I've enjoyed other games more. I've watched it being played a fair few times too and I don't really see what's so amazing about it.

 

[Xanadu84]

I haven't played 1 or 3, but I love all Call of Duty games. They are the Die Hard of video games. They aren't very innovative, special, or artistic. But there are very few games that even approach them in terms of wild and wacky shoot-em-up, blow-em-up, mindless destructive fun. They put all their effort into polishing very imaginative executions of cliche action tropes, and don't apologize for it. I wish that games would push the envelope and innovate more, and the games that do innovate deserve a lot more success, but despite that, CoD certainly deserves to be popular.

The general opinion is very interesting on the Escapist.(w00t)
I put the same poll on IGN a week ago and the feedback was a landslide for "Yay". The only people to say "Nay" were boo'd off the interent by the village trolls. I love this site.

keep up the good work guys.

Spoiler: ^.^

COD 1&2 were great, COD4 was good. Everything else went down the tubes fast. "Meh" overall.

 

[Hollock]

Pretty good, I can't play it everyday like some people I know though (in fact maybe once a week at most and I've never hit presteige level 2)

 

[kasperbbs]

only thing i hate about these games is all the hype and all the people who pretend to hate them just because they are popular. i say nay to your stupid poll #573.

 

[The Lunatic]

Same old shit every year.

 

[Psychoninja7]

meh, I'm more on the halo side. Even then, I'm not really for it. meh.

 

[PrimoThePro]

Nay. I get too mad when I play. :/

 

[Tdc2182]

I love COD, despite all of its flaws that make me mad.

Why?

It's the feel of how it plays. The 60FPS, fluid controls just feel better to me than any other shooter and keep me coming back to it like an abusive ex I can't stop having amazing sex with.

This is the greatest answer I've seen.

Yes. This.

 

[Wintermoot]

the singleplayer is fun but WAY to short
PS and fuck the multiplayer EVERYBOD has the BFG9000 while I,m still stuck with a NERF gun

 

[Ironman126]

Meh. FPS is my favourite genre by far, but 'realistic' military shooters bore me. I'll take escapism (Wolfenstein) or serious realism (ARMA II) but life's too short to waste time in the middle of the road.

Its an opinion, I am actually better at flying air vehicles in Arma 2 than in BF2. I'm assuming you've never seen richie speeds videos?

Sure, my statement about the vehicle physics is an opinion, but i've seen better AI and weapon ballistics in games for 2004. AI that know EXACTLY where you are, regardless of the fact you are in a Gillie suit, motionless in bushes, over 300 meters away? No, real people would never know that. And bullet physics. What a joke! A .308 (7.62 NATO) round does not drop out of the air after 200 meters when fired at a 30 degree angle to the ground! It drops at closer to 5 klicks. I suppose also that a main battle tank (M1A2 Abrams) cannot survive 4 or 5 HEAT RPG rounds, despite the fact that there have been cases in the Middle East where they have survived more than 15 direct hits? That's my issue with the so-call "military simulator" that Arma 2 claimed to be. From a purely fun standpoint, Arma 2 leaves a lot to be desired. Poor UI, bad AI, a hilariously bad voice "acting" system, it's just not a well thought out game. But, i'm done with my rant. If you like it, more power to you. I'll stick with less ambitious games until i know someone gets it right.

 

[TomLikesGuitar]

Nay...

It REALLY use to be a hardcore YAY... but I'm just sick of it.

Battlefield is really the future of FPS. CoD's mechanics still reward camping and the tiny maps/unrealism really destroy any immersion.

Why thanks you... I think anyone who plays COD understands the feeling.

It doesn't take long to unlock the FAMAS. You'll be fine once you do.

While recently there has been quite a bit of flaming and trolling on this site, in general the discussion value is great. Glad you're enjoying it here.
