Well, I was just wondering if anyone played COD4 because i've been playing it lately and wanted to play with people that I (really don't) know. :mrgreen:
-
This is begging for a lock.
-
Not...really.
He did just put it in a different place than necessary.
-
I realized that right after I posted it.
Gah
Anyways, CoD is horrible and every game in its series gets worse and worse.
-
This is the part where YD defends CoD to his grave
-
Give me reasons and I'll consider them
-
Opinions, everyone has them.
I don't like CoD though.
-
Okeydokey, let's go ahead and kill off the common complaints.
Complaint No1 : Unbalanced
What? No. Everyone who says this has never played CoD or ragequitted after his first death at the hands of an explosive. Every weapon is balanced, Assault Rifles have high damage and average rate of fire with damage dropoff and fairly limited magazine size. LMGs have a huge damage output and no dropoff to counter their slow ROF. Snipers have ridiculously slow fire rates in response to a potentially OHKO bullet (depending on distance and place on the body). Really, unbalanced is a flawed argument used by the haters.
Complaint 2 : You die too fast.
Just like real boolets, huh? 3-5 hits is the average, similar to TF2 or well, MM8BDM. Hitscan, though. Dying fast is just part of the core gameplay.
Complaint No3 : Killstreaks
You got 'em, you earned them.
Typing on a 3DS is slow as grannies tho so more arguing tomorrow.
Come at me bro

If I chuck an instakill grenade across the map and it hits someone, it's fair then. Laying down tripmines that nobody can see that have similar effects is fair too. And because I just picked up the game, and I have a crappy pistol, some dude leagues ahead of me has guns that tear you up in 1/8th of a second.

You can at least tell how much damage each thing is doing instead of randomly dropping dead for no reason beside "I didn't notice a red line to the right of my screen"

I see nothing wrong with killstreaks, to be honest. I'd prefer it if they were more organized or helpful, though.

No you.

IMO CoD is OK, at least that's what I think of CoD: Black Ops Wii campaign.
-
The only reason I play CoD is to play with my siblings because playing with friends is fun....except for NSMBWii.
This is the only instance I'd ever say CoD is "good," as it's hilarious to fail so hard.
-
I played some demos of the campaign. It's alright, but I'm not buying any of the games. As for playing online. I tried it with my cousin's PS Triple. I wasn't amused TBH. Not my kind of shooter.
BTW not being a fanboy of anything when saying this, but MW3 looks like a MW2 DLC pack.
-
CoD, its good but waaaay to over rated, and the sequiles don't do anything new, there more like a 60 dollar patch.
-
Well, I only have played COD1 and o bit of MW2.
I like when there are other soldiers helping me.

More like an expansion. A patch fixes things.
-
The only Call of Duty game I kinda like is Black Ops.
It still goes on REWARDING PEOPLE WHO DON'T NEED REWARDS,
but nowhere near as bad as MW3 (examples include dropping care packages from a chopper gunner,
as well as a killstreak for juggernaut armor)
And not to mention that some of the weapons had variety, given they all generally worked like they were classified as,
but they all did in some different way to make them at least SOMEWHAT different from others,
allowing people to find out the weapon for them, rather than just picking whatever is unlocked at their level.
This is just my 2 cents on this, you may or may not agree with me.

Hi honey I'm home
If I chuck an instakill grenade across the map and it hits someone, it's fair then
Unlikely to get any kills, if you did then you deserve it because you need to know when it'll explode and where the major choke points are... or just amazing luck. It's hardly a common death... except COD4. Which is the worst, IMHO.
Laying down tripmines that nobody can see that have similar effects is fair too.
NO IDEA what you're talking about here.
And because I just picked up the game, and I have a crappy pistol, some dude leagues ahead of me has guns that tear you up in 1/8th of a second.
Bollocks. If you're trying to take someone down with a pistol, what's wrong with you? And for "leagues ahead", let's go to my favourite CoD game for an example. In Modern Warfare 2 you get the UMP45 and the M4A1 AT LEVEL ONE, which are considered some of the best guns in their category. Black Ops is similar, with the community's favourite AR being unlocked at Level 14ish. And I don't own Modern Warfare 3 yet, so...
You can at least tell how much damage each thing is doing instead of randomly dropping dead for no reason beside "I didn't notice a red line to the right of my screen"
"Line" is a bit of an understatement. It's a huge red chunk in the direction you're being shot in. And it's not hard to tell when you're close to dying, what with the heavy breathing and the huge red bloody filter on your screen.

Funny how it happens to me every time I play then at least three times.

Body Oderrr

What's that? I can't hear you over the sounds of bullets and explosions!

It's funny because you start the game with pre-made classes in which you do not start out with a pistol (it's a secondary weapon for Christ's sake!)
If I can't kill anything I can't level up and if I can't level up I can't get guns
It's impossible to get 0 kills (unless you join the game when it ends, or you're just horrible, and don't try)
-
I played Black Ops for my first time last month, and it was against someone who had played it quite a bit before, and I got quite a few kills. So Llama, that "If I can't kill people I can't get guns" thing doesn't exactly work.
-
And to be fair, you can always...PICK UP WEAPONS.
That's what I did when I went back to level 1, I kept waiting for people to die,
or in some cases shooting them down myself, then I picked up their weapon.
-
It's not THAT bad of a series, they just need to stop making 60 dollar expansion packs.
