All right, so today after being at the mall, I saw a couple of kids talking about the new Call of Duty game "Modern Warfare 3". So, I decided I would purposely drop my copy of FFX that I just bought at EB Games right in front of them, to see what there reaction would be like... Of course, it was the typical one. "Oooh! An RPG! These are soo boring! Why would anyone play them! FPS's are the only good games out there!". Happy with the reaction, I proceeded to the explain why that game they loved so much, was a terrible game.
1. All right, so, one of the big reasons why Call of Duty fans think their game is so great, is because of realism... Kinda of a bad reason to like the game, seeing as the game is the opposite... (This part is going to be rather funny, you'll see what I mean in a moment... :smile.gif: ). Dropping a nuke, for 18 people, Commando Pro (Must I say anymore?), The ability to stop your HEART for 15 seconds (Ninja Pro), 1 hit KO because of a throwing knife in the foot, riot shields not being able to break... Or one of my favorite ones... Dual Wielding (Akimbo) and still being able to knife without dropping one of your weapons. Anyways, just to clarify, I'm not one of those video games should be realistic guys, I just think if a game is SUPPOSED to be realistic, it should... :biggrin.gif:
2. Terrible maps, I mean, seriously, you know a map is bad when you can get a kill from the other side with little or no skill... They are horribly balanced, in Black Ops, some guy with autism must have wrote the spawning algorithm, and really, the ideas aren't really that original either... I hate maps based off of campaign levels, it's called developers being lazy...
3. Same old ****... Bad quality... Like seriously, MW3 uses the same engine has MW2... Pretty much, just a couple of modifications, that's it... It's still going to be buggy as ****, It's still going to take up more processing space then it needs to, and the game is still going to be like it's in it's beta phase... I'm not too excited for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.5 myself...
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this, and the fanboys were enlightened... Feel free to respond! :biggrin.gif:
Totally agree with you. It's sad how similar MW3 is to MW2. I'm okay with other people playing Call of Duty but it's crazy how hyped they get for every single new DLC, they don't realize they're getting ripped off by Activision.
If I'm going to play any FPS this fall, it's gonna be BF3 because they're bringing out some new and interesting stuff.
Yeah, I really don't get it myself, I played CoD up to 5, then it got horrible... :sad.gif:
But I'm excited for BF3, it looks original! :wink.gif:
im curious about about your opinion of the frostbite 2 engine in bf3.
but honestly, i think making a fps minecraft would be way better than any of the fps games as they are right no.like you could form societies with other people on the server, and have towns fighting against towns.

I shoot my arrows in the air sometimes saying ay-oh, creeper's KO'd
COD 4 having a decent story and of course freedom that last two COD's have not given but it is where the copy/paste COD trend started
Now days COD is the same exact thing as the last game.. MW2 was horrible clearly the worst COD out their, Blops wasn't much of an improvement.
But of course this is coming from a PC player who can play COD MW2 and Blops for free due to the thousands of Mods for COD4 with 64 players..
@sand
I am not too exited about BF3, their engine however is decent its better then COD's that is ancient..
BF3 is missing too many Battlefield elements and replacing with Bad Company elements or I like to call Bad Copy elements. And again BF3 seems to have a absent of mod tools so I cannot play Project reality on FB2 or Forgotten Heros two of the greatest mods to hit Battlefield franchise

Ha ha, the minecraft FPS sounds like an interesting idea for some sort of mod or something xD
And about the frostbite 2 engine? That would be a loooooooonngggg topic lol
Hmm......
MW3 will be a great game...to put under my drink while playing BF3.
I'm gonna go get TF:WFC and pre order UMvC3. Those are REAL games compared to CoD nowadays.
Ok, I'll admit, MW2 was extremely fun for me. Especially the Spec-Ops missions. However, the campaign made ABSOLUTELY NO FREAKING SENSE. What did General Shepherd even do to be labelled a traitor? Why did the Russians attack the United States? What character was I even playing as through the entire game, and why were there no transitions between them? How can a sequel to MW2 be made if the campaign was so hard to follow that no one even knows what's going on? The story will have no consistency. /rant

Ha ha ha, I'm not that too fond of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 though, I prefer the arcade version of MvC xD
Spec ops was great, I spent most of my time in that.
Also since I thought it was going to be decent like COD4 I bought it I was wrong.. very very wrong.. but you can't say I suck since I did complete the game 100% since I bought it might as well all in 150 hours.
Ha ha ha, I'm not that too fond of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 though, I prefer the arcade version of MvC xD
Yeah, Galactus is quite easy compared to a boss like M. Bison.
Another thing is out of all the games i have, SoTN was the game I played the most after downloading it.
I don't like it either.
Won't pay 50 bucks for 5 hours playtime. Ridiculous.
If the kids want realism they should play Arma.
It's not realistic either but way more than CoD will ever be.
But I guess they won't play it because they cant ****ing pwn in this game.
that reminds me of another reason why I despise their franchise.
First company to charge $60 for a PC game when PC doesn't have console tax which is where that extra $10 comes in if you buy games on PS3 and 360. Since it was successful other games are doing it now thankfully not all publishers are as greedy as Activision
I'd just love to see the panic that would ensue if a stereotypical CoD fanboy went and played an ACTUAL game like Ikaruga, Radiant Silvergun, or Castlevania: SoTN.
A game is classified as a form of play. So Call of Duty is a game. And it exists. Which makes it real. So it's a real game.
I enjoyed Modern Warfare 2. Would I have played it without the social aspect of playing with my friends? Highly unlikely. Will I play Modern Warfare 3? Perhaps. If it's more of MW2, I see no reason why not to play more of what I enjoyed.
TBH I loved Call of duty up until MW2
MW2 wasn't terrible and it wasn't good, I just hoped Black Ops would be better,
turns out Black Ops what **** and sold it the first 2 weeks.

Yes, I do agree to an extent, though, this is an off topic thread... Anyways, I find this to be very entertaining! :wink.gif:
IKR! So excited for skyrim xD
