Why the Shooter Genre Desperately Needs Another Call of Duty 4

Incremental changes and moderate adjustments aside, the gaming renaissance that Call of Duty 4 introduced ended long ago, and now we’re left with a small handful of quality FPS experiences and a whole bunch of forgettable ones. If shooting aliens, corrupt Special Ops baddies, and zombies wants to remain enjoyable and exhilarating, the genre is going to need an enormous injection of innovation once more to keep it afloat.

They should remake Call of Duty 4!

True we do need another revolution.
Can't wait for Black Ops 2! Whooo!

saladthieves4354d ago

I haven't played any Call of Duty games since World at War. Anything after that just flew by me without any interest in looking at it.

Of all the Call of Duties to date since 2007, nothing beats the original Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare. This was really a huge step in terms of new innovations.

I gotta say I liked MW2 for a while but that was the beginning of the end. Bought Black Ops and then traded it a few months after. Same ol, same ol.

killzone 2 is still here why do we need cod4 never mind another

xursz4354d ago

Killzone 2 is among the best FPSs this gen.

DasTier4354d ago

maybe top 10 but it no way tops any of Halo 3, BFBC2, COD4, Resitance 1, BF3 or Halo Reach.

I think the problem with KZ not being as popular online is the games story. BF and COD succeed because they are modern shooter which everyone can relate to, they dont need a story. Its harder to do that with sci fi shooters. Halo got the story right and a memorable protagonist, guarenteeing its multiplayer success. KZ characters and story are forgettable.

xtreampro4354d ago

Although I generally disagree with Sony fanboys what dangert12 said is true. KZ2 is probably one of the best online shooters this gen.

The online mode was just filled with fun! I hope KZ4 is more like KZ2.

They don't desperately need anything really, they will still sell millions and milk it until an actual competitive game come's around and then they will probably disband Treyarch and Infinity Ward like how Guitar Hero ended.

Swagman23214354d ago

Funny the same FPS that they name "revolutionized" (don't get me started on this, there are much better shooters out then then CoD) is also the same franchise that has completely worn out the formula. What i think needs to happen is Call of Duty needs to die. Or they need to wait like 3 years before they release a new one and put some innovation into it rather then pump out the same game year after year. Absolute crap is what CoD has become.

COD4 has nothing on the TimeSplitters model.
If we can get a COD game with all the unlockables of the TimeSplitters (weapons, characters, levels, game modes) then i'd be all over it.

The shooter genre desperately needs more TimeSplitters esque games

Sidewinder-4354d ago

Sad that it won't happen. Well, I think TS4 WILL be released, but the way of unlocking new characters and maps, as it was done?

That just stands as a modern day dlc practice in waiting. Gtta dl these maps. Want the Monkey character? Pay Up.

I fear for the game, but I want it all the same.

Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash

Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.

They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.

I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.
