Call of duty sucks.

[alecjahn]

Oh, how I miss Planetside and Tribes 2.

[social_drone]

since my computer bit it, ive been playing on xbox live a lot. i play a lot of mw2, i dont know why...i dont really enjoy it anymore. the worst aspect of it is the more you progress and become higher in rank the less fun it becomes. at first it was pretty cool because the people youre playing with are new to the game as well and havnt learned how to exploit the game mechanics. now i get in a match everyone is some form of a sniper class jumping around dancing and going prone quickscoping you the moment you spawn. its just garbage, all of it. and im not sure other games are any better. i used to play quake, then halflife deathmatch and counter-strike and unreal tournament and they all seemed broken. a couple decades and the gameplay is still basicly the same tired simple shit, same problems every generation.

You mad bro?

Its fun. People play games that are fun.

Hope it's ok for me to say. "You're an idiot".

I want a FPS set in NAM with a 60s soundtrack where you are tripping balls the whole game.

THAT would be entertaining.

Black ops should have been that.

Battlefield: Vietnam. 60's/70's soundtrack, and an excellent one at that.

And play as Walter Sobchak. That would be the shit.

I played a ton of Call of Duty 1-3 online and campaign. CoD 4 was really good, but I much rather play Halo 3 at the time. CoD 5-now and future, what the fuck are they doing, how does anyone find these games fun.

Really, they should of just stuck with the class-based model. I play all the campaigns, but I don't buy them since CoD MW2 (worst multiplayer of all time). I can usually beat them in a day, so I just find a friend who calls the current CoD the worst game in the world, then I borrow the disc for a day or two before he wants to play it again.

[Xeauron]

This guy gets it.

As much I don't like CoD, I really have no say in what games other people play. We all have different tastes, and if anyone here plays it, more power to you. I just wish people would stop assuming that everyone with a pulse plays CoD. I swear I cannot have a conversation about video games with anyone my age without hearing something about kill streaks or campers or whatever.

Yeah, it really does seem like everything is about this fucking game these days and people who aren't arsed or don't play it that much in my experience seem to be treated like they have hepatitis or cancer. Once you've established you really aren't arsed the conversation seems to go sombre. Fuck 'em, wear your "I don't play this" badge right on your sleeve mate. At the end of the day, what does it matter?

Great comment. :thumbsup:

By they way, what's your PSN ID. I'm a big Killzone fan as well.

Thanks, my PSN ID is the same as my username here mate Xeauron, feel free to add me though make sure you mention assembler in the request so I know who you are.

sorry for my mass posts, but where is the FUCKING "LIKE" button? SO true.

As always just my opinion on this matter, lots of people like the reality thing, I prefer the ultimate escapism that silicone chips these days can offer. Why go 7,000 miles when you can go 700,000,000 light years away, but that's just me.

Above all else I always say, do whatever you enjoy the most. Modern warfare fans never hurt anyone in my experience nor do killzone fans, except when they clash in pathetic forum arguments. Do what you want to do and enjoy yourself, this isn't a dress rehearsal, this is life and you only get one shot - fucking enjoy it, stop worrying about what anyone else thinks.

For buying COD. :nod:

[Prometheus]

Meh, the way I see it, it was his money (I assume) and he's free to do what he wants with it; even if he wants to spend it on a game that's nearly the same as its predecessors. Hell, people buy Madden and FIFA each year, and that's even worse, since sports games aren't even worth the price they charge for them.

Also, not that anyone cares or anything, but I just finished Turok 2. I clocked just under 18 hours, which I believe is a very good amount of time for a FPS of its age. When you figure that the single player campaign for COD is about 4-8 hours, I just played about 2-4 CODs. I never understood how gamers accept such a short single-player campaign in modern First-person shooters. I'm not saying that games should have a 40+ hour campaign, but I think 15-20 hours is a fair amount.

Because most people just buy them for the multiplayer. And also because gamers these days start whining if a game is challenging at all.

Ah yes, I remember a time when games focused on having a good single player mode, with a multiplayer mode being a cool bonus. Good times...

Thats is so true! :D yeah its not like the Nintendo 64 days or PS2 days with Multiplayer gaming or singleplayer campaign gaming too lol if there was a "like" button on this site i would've agree to your comment man :)

RETARD ALERT, RETARD ALERTTTTT

[Segata Sanshiro]

I like how someone mentioned Killzone.

Now THAT is a rubbish game.

There are many things about CoD that I do not like, but there is one thing I think the developers did right: 60 frames per second.

To anyone who doesn't know what that means, check this out: http://www.boallen.com/fps-compare.html

See the difference? Most console developers just accept 30 frames per second because "60 is too difficult", like an underachieving high school student settling for a C because "an A is too much work". Sure the graphics take a hit, but I think it's worth it, as it provides a much smoother, and more fast paced experience; just ask any PC gamer. If Infinity Ward/Treyarch can do it for each CoD they fart out, then so can other developers if they put some effort into it.

Tales of Vesperia ran at 30 fps during cutscenes and exploration, and 60 fps during battle. In other words, it ran smoothly during the action, when it mattered most. I'd take that any day over super-gritty-ultra-realistic graphics that can barely do 30 fps.

I can't agree more. Problem is that right now, console games are more focused on "graphics" and not FPS. For instance, BF3 has terrible input lag, because of the "HD Graphics"

[LeGIt]

I hate Call of Duty too, as well as all the ripoffs it has spawned like Medal of Honor and Battlefield*. And seriously, a new game every year? Just Tony Hawk already.

*Yeah, I know Battlefield was around before CoD (I played 1942 for a while), but the direction it's going now is obviously CoD-"inspired".

Medal of Honor was also out before CoD - CoD was made by ex-Medal of Honor developers.

I remember playing the original Call of Duty after having it on preorder way back on my P4 3.06GHz machine. The graphics were good for the time but the most amazing element (for me) was the audio and it was an enjoyable game. The multiplayer was just basically World War 2 Quake, which is not a surprise given as it was based on the Quake engine and set in WWII.

The only thing that has changed since then are the rewards and the setting, both of which have simultaneously propelled and ruined the franchise.
