CoD Declared best Video Game Series Of All Time

[That Chris Guy]

Infinite Warfare was the only CoD game I tried playing since MW3, and to me there was nothing special about it. Campaign felt like they looked over the cliff notes for Killzone, right down to making your villains comically bad without any change of perspective.

Moreover, this was meant to be some next-gen shit compared to the last one I played, and yet here I was running along with guns that used the exact same reloading animations as previous weapons, flying vehicles that shared the exact same piloting flaws that previous CoD vehicles possessed. I finished it, but I knew by the end that CoD as a franchise had progressed nowhere, and had merely adopted a space skin.

It was basically just a watered down version of COD 2, without any of the memorable setpieces, and it was also a step down visually.

Call of Duty 2. The Soviet setpieces in the winter along with the D-Day mission were the highlights of its campaign. One aspect that CoD2 did right was with its linearity. They were linear in design, but the levels were massive enough to where you can flank multiple ways against the enemy. You had more freedom to traverse. Also, there weren't many scripted setpieces. Stuff would happen organically.

What I didn't like about CoD2 was its Veteran difficulty. I'd say it was fairer than CoD3, but bullets did more damage towards you and swarms of enemies would surround you. Not aimbot per se, but they were more accurate. Checkpoints were scarce as well.

What I dislike about CoD's campaign is their continuity with each other. Particularly the sub-series after Modern Warfare and Black Ops. Ghosts, Advanced Warfare and Infinite Warfare were one offs with no connection to previous games of the franchise. Why should I care if they'll just end it and forget about it?

Sorry for the late reply.

Anyways, COD 3 I just simply wasn't a fan of. I felt the writing was too cheesy and didn't do justice to the actual events, the characters all basically the very typical war stereotypes, and the actual gameplay and mission design wasn't very memorable either. It was basically just a watered down version of COD 2, without any of the memorable setpieces, and it was also a step down visually. Treyarch hadn't yet fully gotten a handle on things (heck, it was made in just eight months), and it shows.

As for Infinite Warfare? Well, there are many reasons why I actually am a big fan of it. Looking back at all the futuristic COD games that featured advanced movement, this is the one where they pretty much threw realism out the window and went full on Gundam/Macross. And honestly, I actually really preferred that approach compared to the attempts at staying grounded seen in AW and BO3. The campaign especially is one that I think ranks as one of the best in the series. From the extremely creative levels and mission design, through to all the optional ones you can take, the enhanced customization of the weapons, and of course, the fighter jet sequences that are pretty much right out of an anime like the aforementioned Macross.

The only problem I have regarding IW's campaign is that it is pretty obviously a clear cut good vs. evil storyline, with the SDF being portrayed as so over-the-top evil that it's almost comical (heck, even the quotes from them seem like they're from a Saturday morning cartoon villain). But it manages to make up for that by fleshing out the characters you are fighting alongside much better. Granted, some of the developments they get are a bit abrupt and the like, but on the whole, I really grew to care for them. That, and it has what I consider to be one of my favorite robot companions in all of gaming.

It's a shame I feel that so many people jumped on the hate bandwagon for the game solely due to the setting and thanks to Battlefield 1. Cause I really think IW needs more attention, if not for the multiplayer (which admittedly is a bit underwhelming), then for the campaign.

I’ve only played COD 2 and 3 so far. COD 2 is really good and COD three is a decent game but very forgettable. I like how you get to play as the polish and Canadian forces but it all just kinda blends together. Also it feels like the game just ends without any real fanfare.

This movie has heavy Nazi Zombies vibes, looks like JJ Abrams must have played Nazi Zombies from Call of Duty 5 as the scenes in the lab reminds me of the Asylum map.

And this movie came out in the same year as Call of Duty 5. It has the plot of a multinational group of mercenaries fighting undead Nazis. This is probably where the diverse protagonist idea for Shi No Numa must have came from.

Finished cod4:Modern Warfare's campaign. Overall Id give it a 9/10

It's a bit disturbing to see a corporation like Activision use one of Yuri Bezmenov's videos for their new game.

most bizzare ad i've ever seen, never thought I'd see Yuri referenced by any corporation or political entity.

Apparently our boy Yuri has begin getting quite a bit of attention since the trailer dropped

Watch Yuri Bezmenov suddenly pop up on Google frequent searches.

I'm intrigued. "Destabilizing a country takes ten to fifteen years," I heard in the trailer.

*looks in riots thread* Shit...

I'm going to laugh my ass off if Call of Duty of all things makes people start researching Yuri Bezmenov when all this shit has been going on for the past decade.

If call of duty saves us from cultutral marxism then Guiness was right to call it the greatest gaming series. If this happens then I promise to play through every single call of duty campaign

Fuck, who knew that the game franchise that was seen as the cancer that was killing gaming in the 2010's may end up saving the hobby in the 2020's?

Question is whether or not the Bezmenov angle is going to be a genuine "based" anti-commie part of the story in the single-player campaign or if they'll try to tie this into the old RussiaGate narrative?

Doesn't matter, Yuri Bezmenov's presence in that trailer alone is going to get a lot of normies and frat bros looking at some uncomfortable truths. A lot of things can get an unusual revival in the wider consciousness because of video games or movies featuring it.

You see it most with a lot of older music that was obscure or was popular at the time but faded from the wider consciousness. Sort of like how "Big Iron" became a widely-known song again because of New Vegas and even entered regular rotation on classic country stations.

Before 2010, the most well-known track from the "Gunfighters and Trail Ballads" album was "El Paso" and that got the most airplay on classic country radio stations and online radio streaming.

GTA is another good example with songs like "Out of Touch" which went from charted but semi-forgotten 80's pop song to a classic hits staple after Vice City and the memes surrounding VC's soundtrack.

You even see this with movies, like Reservoir Dogs entering Stuck In The Middle With You into the public consciousness again or how classic rock stations stopped playing the shorted single version of Layla and now only play the full-length version after Goodfellas used the piano part of the song in a very iconic scene.

How many people are going to look up Yuri Bezmenov's seminars now after this? Call of Duty is about as mainstream normie as video games get without going into Candy Crush and mobile games in general.

I am surprised Activision allowed this given how they supported BLM.

 

[Titos]

I haven't played a CoD game since Advanced Warfare and the last one I played for any decent amount of time was Blops2. If the new one actually tackles commie infiltration and subversion as Bezmenov has described before I might actually bother to pick it up. I'm not holding my breath though.

Unsurprisingly, /pol/ being /pol/ has made an edit that has a couple of pointless clips like Skyking.

I am but a simple miner, tending to my salt

Right, the game about how going Shock and Awe on random 3rd-world shitholes leads to disaster and misery is "Bush-era right-wing militarism".

I mean, fuck. they weren't even remotely subtle about it:

And who taught you that? My guess is that it was someone who took part in those protests, or possibly the protege thereof. Also, note the lack of distinction between a useful idiot and a paid shill. I see this kind of thing all the time, and I swear, they have no concept of simple deception: you are either wholeheartedly good and can do no wrong, or utterly and deliberately evil.

Once again, we see that lack of distinction. But more importantly, he was speaking to a nation of people that had either taken part in those protests or been taught by those that did, as above.

Okay, there's one acknowledgement of the concept of being decieved, but note that s/he applies it to the "good" guys. Right-wingers aren't allowed to just have an unclear picture, they must be actively complicit in evil. However, this particular string of conversation culminates in...

...this. For me, personally, this post is uncanny. It's like staring in a mirror, as if I accidentally loaded this page from the timeline where my parents weren't Christians. The thing is, if I were to offer this person "hey, what if we teamed up, killed all the politicians, megacorp executives, media moguls and bankers, then split the country right down the middle, you take half, we take half, and ne'er the twain shall meet?", I doubt I would receive a "yes" in reply.

Anyway, good to see Joe M getting the recognition he deserves.

Welcome to gamer culture circa 2010, I thought you hated it here.

And here we see someone who never watched the interview, because 1: it is not 90 minutes, 2: Mr. B specifically states that the process of demoralization/destabilization/crisis/normalization becomes self-sustaining in the mid-2nd phase, requiring no further input from outside agitators. There is also no appearance of the idea that the CCP took up the reigns on the subversion scheme after the fall of the USSR.

Fuck you, NatSocs and Commies can share a noose for all I care.
