Poll: Who else here is done with COD?

[JohnnyDelRay]

Because none of what you said is actually true if you actually play the games. They all play very differently and its not just the perks, guns and killstreaks. Although changing those can massivly change how the game plays. Hell anybody who actually listened to the complaints of the fans would realise that.

I play the game because it is fun. End of story, no fucking argument out there can beat that.

I'd say it depends on what comes of MW3. To be honest, I didn't like the campaign of Blops all that much,

Hey that campaign did have one good mission which was when you broke out of the prison.

Actually thats true, I'll give you that, the prison break out/riot/revolution was pretty awesome and well scripted. I just hated that it ended with yet *another* single-handed heli takedown, man I am getting sick of those appearing in so many freaking games. Since MGS on PS1, and like, probably dozens before it too.

I did get quite a kick out of spec ops as well, just wish I could've co-oped it on LAN with a friend or something, but because of my horrendous connection I never got around to it. Man I miss easy LAN lobby setups.

I am offended by that statement! It's not my fault if you cant figure out how to use a shotgun!

I am well-versed in shotgun usage. It doesn't really matter if I shoot you in the face with a shotgun, you have invulnerability during your knife lunge. I have a clip of me shooting some guy IN THE HEAD from about 6 feet away with the Spas-12, and I got a hit marker because he had began his stretch armstrong lunge.

Gonna do ya one better. I'm done with all ADS shooters set in modern times or ww2.

I never started. War Shooters have always been "That One Genre" to me.

I'm definitely interested in MW3 because:

-Dedicated servers
-No second chance/last stand
-The melee is fixed
-Knowing IW, shotguns will hopefully fun to play with

I still enjoy CoD. They haven't changed much over the last few iterations, but they are still very good games that I personally enjoy.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Not me. I'm getting MW3 for free.

I was going to take a year off from the series for once.

But then someone offered to buy it for me.

Who else here is done with COD hate threads?

 

[MPerce]

I've been done since MW2, mainly because I've only ever played the games for the single player. The multiplayer never caught on for me.
But I know a ton of people who aren't "gamers" who are really excited for MW3. My brother, for instance, knows he's going to be getting just about the same game for his purchase, and doesn't care. To him, COD is just a fun way to waste an hour or two with his buds.
And I can't make fun of him much for that, since I still play Halo's multiplayer like crazy, and that series hasn't exactly evolved much either, has it?

 

[Totenkopf]

Well, I enjoyed Black Ops (mainly it's campaign) greatly, but my limited budget is yelling:

Dovahkiin! Dovahkiin!

So, I guess I'll go with another game(s) instead.

i hate it for the opposite reasons i like Battlefield:
-small maps
-non-destructible terrain
-killstreaks which are only good at high levels
-sniping is impossible/entirely quickscoping.

whereas BF has:
-massive maps
-destructible terrain
-no killstreaks
-sniping is easy and fun

the difference is
-i dont get boxed in to one area with 5 other guys then we all get mowed down
-it makes it feel more realistic
-i can go 5 minutes without hearing 'napalm incoming helicopter incoming care package incoming' and all i can get is a useless spy plane.
-i found out in one match of BF i'm an amazing sniper. ive been playing CoD for years and didnt know that.

The main problem i have with the latest CoDs is that they are heavily invested in XP. This is an FPS, not WoW. I remember the first CoD, no xp, no stat tracking, no ratios. Just get on, grab any gun for that country's team, and go. There were no perks, no killstreaks, and bigger maps that made using a sniper make sense. It played the same for everyone, every 10 kills, you'd get something, and 40 was artillery which had the same impact as everyone else's. No tubers, no knifers...it was fun.

The modern CoD is much more frustrating, slower, and it tries too hard. Suffice it to say, I still play the first one. Every time I go and buy the newest one, I get frustrated, and return to the first. Not sure if I will get this one.

I doubt I said anything new, these topics are numerous and I hope some fall on ActiVision's head soon.

thanks for reminding me. i used to love getting together with a couple of mates and playing CoD 3. wonderful times.

same damn thing happened to me. i play 1 match in BFBC2 with the sniper and i tore the enemy team to shreds. ALSO! people actually use teamwork in BF.
