Call of Duty Thread - Potential return to form? Or nothing but cope on the horizon? You decide!

[The Last Stand]

Are COD's devs just the greediest grabblers in the world? You've got tons of AAA games going on sale for huge amounts and their old releases from over a decade ago are still full price.

I hope that if/when the MS/Acti merger goes through, they discount the legacy titles AND make their DLC free to download.

Activision with CoD is like Nintendo with their entire library, they know that people will buy their products at full price at any time of the year.

blame activision

And a big fuck you to Bobby Kotick for ruining almost everything.

You know, it's be nice if cod would let me progress event challenges on DMZ NPCs. I don't care if they have to double or triple the challenge requirement, just stop forcing me to play TDM. I fucking hate TDM.

The new event actually let you progress with DMZ bots and then they patched it in less than an hour.

I bit the bullet on impulse and purchased CoD: WW2. I anticipate two playthroughs with the campaign thanks to a Veteran glitch. I hope the Nazi Black female trope is reality.

Why the fuck would you buy CoD for the campaign when watching that shit on youtube gives you a superior experience.

Campaign? The campaign is the least of the issues with WW2. Even so, I can cheese its Veteran difficulty.

I don't know what the fuck is going on, if cheaters are still rampant or if they just completely fucked up the SBMM system or what but the game was near unplayable for me yesterday after I took a week break.

I think I'm really done with MWII. This shit just isn't fun at all.

That's why I wanted to go back to legacy CoDs.

Apparently the Riccochet rootkit-like anti-cheat doesn't work. Even the big Twitch streamers are cheating and Activision doesn't care.

completely fucked up the SBMM system

Shits so bad, it's the same reason I stopped playing the first reboot. Get off work, get drunk to play pubbies, wait half an hour to match a game, match the same fucking faggots in a game with a massive population.

Why the fuck would they get rid of keeping the lobbies together if the POS game is just going to force you together anyways? I even waited weeks before trying again, second game I matched a lobby with half the dudes I was playing before. Done.

 

[The Last Stand]

Maybe it's hindsight or a sign of things to come, but WW2's Headquarters was a novel concept. I wish everything wasn't buried in menus.

Real shame too. It's like devs over at either Infinity Ward or Treyarch, and even the publisher Activision, have good ideas under their belts, but ended up having wasted potential at the end of the day.

Who in Activision thought it was a good idea to:

• Hire a Hulu UI designer
• Make a "super serious" campaign at the cost of any cohesion
• Not have skins transfer from MW2019, CW, Vanguard to MWII
• Disband lobbies
• Integrate SBMM with no anti-cheat
• Force Warzone into players
• Download the mass majority of the game from physical copies
• Have LGBTQ+ flags in a war game
• Obsessively include an archaic gun leveling system
• Copy/paste camo challenges for every gun
• "Fix" camping with an AFK timer
• Make Shipment unnecessarily complex and claustrophobic

So many questionable design decisions that ruin the experience or question its worth as an entertainment product.

And that sadly goes double with most things in this world, and not just video games

I have to be the only one who likes the gun leveling system but I guess using different guns to is much for most COD players. Also no Cold War or Vanguard shit is a blessing. Warzone 1 was utterly perfect not too milsimp serious and not to silly. Guns felt good, looked good, and played well. Then Cold War and Vanguard invaded ruined everything aesthetics, balance, and even the graphics were scaled back. If anything my only issue with warzone pre Cold War/Vanguard was the lack of recoil, and guns just being near hit scan at most ranges.

Thats one of the couple things I like in Warzone 2 actual recoil and guns not fucking beaming you for once. Also people who ask for "movement" wanting slide canceling back is the gayest shit ever.

Nah, this started happening even before Cold War came out.

It's the problem of trying to court Fortnite fags, it always results in gay cartoony shit. That's why gay shit like that was coming out day one with Warzone 2.

I'm far more willing to accept a female soldier in bright blue yoga pants with cat ears running around than I am every single Ultra level blueprint. Every single one (but most especially the motorcycle LMG) looked outright awful.
