Call of Duty Ghosts (Yes i'm getting it)

[Vibe]

I'm getting BF4 as well. Can't wait. I'm not fanboying over either. Nor am i boycotting them like an angry basement dwelling nerd trying to fight the evil big gaming corporations and try and make a statement.

Most of the people with half a brain aren't getting BF4/new CoD because it's the same damn game as its last iteration.

It's kinda unfair to bash CoD like this.

Everyone knows what you can expect from CoD: 5 hours popcorn SP and an arcade shooter MP. Some people like that...

It's not my cup of tea personally and I never bought any CoD (played some of them tho...). But saying it's shite... I dunno... I guess it does what it's supposed to do pretty good.

Just like food from McDonalds or Burger King.

Well you are also making a statement when you buy those games. It goes like this : "I'm a cow, please milk me or my parents/grandparents. I like your games because I don't know better and don't care to search because yours are more popular."

The point is not to fight big corporations, the point is to push the quality upwards and make popular things that deserve popularity. It's not boycotting just as much as buying leader price soap for a better soap isn't boycotting leader price. What would be boycotting is not buying BP oil because they murdered locals in whatever fucked up country they set foot, but Activision is to the best of my knowledge not nearly as bad as this.

COD will sell millions of copies no matter if some angry kids boycots it or not.

Look at it like this. If i like the taste of a Big Mac at McDonalds why would i want the taste of it to change when i'm already satisfied with the taste as it is?

Look at sports games. NFL, FIFA, NBA, WWE, UFC etc....they keep releasing games every year. But people still buy them. They only contain barely improved graphics for every year if even that and then improved rosters/teams and some minor new features.

Just like COD. COD series is not trying to be necessarily innovative and pretend it's art and groundbreaking. It's a concept that already works and got millions of people interested in it.

If you'd change Halo games into something that is...say a third person WW2 Medal of Honor-esque Halo, do you really think the Halo fans would appreciate it?

Only bad things the COD games have brought the gaming world gotta be the constant focus on DLC (though i don't mind paying 15 bucks or whatever for a couple of new maps if they're well done considering it's professional and have taken the employees time to work on it) and maybe the focus on matchmaking instead of dedicated servers. Otherwise it's like any old school FPS shooter.


Only things i'd do to improve COD would be to have more focus on dedicated servers (hosted by Activision themselves not players, we don't need more natzeee admins/mods or 12 year old kids in an authority role), increase the maximum amount of players, make the maps slightly bigger, add a little bit more variety to the guns and finally get a complete new graphics engine for the game.


Otherwise it's fine as it is. Personally i'm open minded when it comes to gaming. My favorite games of all time are Deus Ex, Age Of Empires 2, GTA San Andreas amongst others. But just because i enjoy games with an immense story, interesting characters doesn't mean that i cannot enjoy some multiplayer FPS with a basic concept behind it.




TL;DR COD fFormula works, no need to change it and haters can't stop the sales but keep on boycotting and playing their obscure indie games and amateur mods of older FPS games.

kindly GTFO.

Thanks

Lord Berenger, you are entitled to your opinion, but everything you've listed is the reason that CoD has gone from the #1 shooter on PC to a shitty console arcade game.

[Joseph Porta]

Only if they have a similar gamemode like zombies, but Iwont buyit anyhow mates always get it on xbox360, always play it there

Well PC FPS lovers can always keep having fun with games with broken engines. Cough Arma 3..cough. And i've owned all COD games on PC untill MW3 as well. I know how good COD 2 and especially COD 4 was on PC. But the way these nerds complain then why don't they go back to those games?

[Bjord]

When you defend Call of Doody you trade your credibility as a gamer. Therefore, Berenger is a shitlord whose idea of a good game consists of a certain FPS genre where the average player's age borders around 12, ballistics are non-existent and where the use of a keyboard and a mouse is more seldom than not.

I just... How can anyone in their right mind.. I mean.. CoD?

[Leshma]

I think that Berenger is more of a groupie of gaming scene than actual gamer. But I could be wrong about this.

[Bjord]

Nah, he's just some weird Swedish guy that romanticises USA and various cultural stereotypes, like those infamous US console gamers, sitting in their student flats with an 8 year old TV playing CoD on Xbox 360.

Anything USA does, Berenger idolises.

Berenger and Zlisch are both EU outcasts, who went over to NA because nobody liked them on our side of the pond except a select few players from EU 4, which is an even more dubious sub-community of cRPG. It's good that even scum have a place to go to, truly.

Though tbh this is like trying to promote right wing propaganda at a left wing site or vice versa. Or say you like PS3 at a Xbox 360 fanboy site.

I like games. But i'm open-minded. And besides the problems i listed i don't see any other problem with COD. The concept of killing other enemies with guns, getting killstreaks and XP for every kill is a working concept that won't die yet.

Being a grammar natzee obviously > ^ ....

Being a grammar natzee obviously better than above...

I'm assuming "above" is referring to the people I described in my post.

All I really want from CoD Ghosts is for it to be exactly the same as CoD4 with better graphics and a spec ops dog.

Mainly the dog.

I think I bought it for the dog.
