Don't you think Call of Duty is brilliant?

Post by Nietono »

I recently bought the entire COD set. They were actually really fun when I played through them. They were almost as good as Metroid, even. I can't understand why you don't like them (Especially Black Ops, that's my favourite!) and have bought the entire set to go on my special games shelf in my bedroom.

Even though this is now a troll thread it's still probably going to end up being:

ITT: Wannabe hipster kids bash Call of Duty without ever even playing it.

Probably. I'd bash COD but I just wouldn't gain anything, not even temporary satisfaction from it.

While I am sure the CoD series is good for what it is, games with a "Real War" theme are not to my liking. Take the same game engine and gameplay, make the setting fantasy or sci-fi oriented, give it bright colorful graphics, and include a campaign with outlandish plot and characters, and I would go from complete disinterest to "this could be awesome" in a heartbeat.

This. While CoD doesn't seem that bad, I much prefer shooters more like Ratchet and Clank, good platformer/shooter, but cartoony and funny, actually entertaining to play. But I haven't played any CoD yet, yet I actually have Black Ops next to my xbox 360, which I haven't played yet (it came with the xbox).

And when I saw the title of the topic, I was expecting sooo much sarcasm.

Even though this is a "troll" topic, I'm going to say what I was going to say.

If anyone was stupid enough to do that, it was money wasted.

I know this is a troll (or at least it sounds like one) so:

retrolinkx wrote:Yeah, staying out of this.
And putting my 2 cents in:
Call of Duty would be 1000000 times better if Activision had nothing to do with them. Activision ruins companies.

It's not a bad game, no.

Just a repetitive one.

The CoD franchise was brilliant in it's first 3 games, though you can only make so many old war games before you realize you ran out of wars to actually make a game out of. So with CoD4, it felt more like this could actually happen. Sure some of the plot was a bit outlandish, but that didn't stop it from being fun. But after that, I noticed that CoD went through a change. I don't exactly remember CoD4 that well since I didn't get a chance to beat it, but if I was right there had to be some sort of conspiracy in there. That's what I kinda liked, that the gov was hiding things from us and that we'd be able to find it. However, with the release of CoDMW2, things got really ridiculous. I couldn't take the game seriously what with all this "HURR EVIL GOV IS EVIL SECRET". It made for some good story effects, but not as impressive as CoD4. And sure, you could say "well the multiplayer is very good at least!" Well, yes, it might be. Who cares though? I find a game is only as good as it's single player is. Single player was not bad, but it wasn't amazing. Not at all like CoD4. Then there came black ops. I felt like that game with a step back for CoD. It's like, "yeah we know we won these wars, you don't need to tell us with 50 bazillion games". But it tried to cash in on the conspiracy theories again. Again, call the multiplayer good all you want, the only good thing I can recall is zombies. I almost forgot world at war though.

It was a game about WWII.

Been there, done that, next.

What I do want to say is that the game isn't really realistic. The whole getting shot in the head and just ducking behind chest high walls to regenerate isn't a very realistic war atmosphere and pretty much ruined the "realism". I liked how they did it in Farcry 2, with digging out your wounds and using needles to resupply health. Would've been a lot harder, but it sets the men from the boys. You can save your regeneration for easy mode and multiplayer.

If I have to say anything about the CoD series as a whole, it'd be that it's fun, but not realistic or believable.

And by fun I mean CoD4 and zombies.

Add a new mode, a few new maps, improve graphics and maybe some new weapons and boom, we got ourselves ANOTHER fps.

Yep.

It's a pretty terrible series for that same reason, too.
It usurps and gives little back.
No thanks.

CoD is not bad but..

Well Fox basically paraphrased a lot of what is going on in my mind because he is a psycho psychic and whatnot.

I like BF3 more though because it is a larger scale (which is part of the reason why I like C&C Renegade as well, but only for its multiplayer). I also liked the recent Medal of Honor game.
