Top 5 most annoying COD multiplayer moments

With all the people that play Call of Duty, there comes the same amount of annoyances. Unlike any other multiplayer game Call of Duty has the ability to make you want to chuck your controller right through your screen. Here are the TOP 5 most annoying things in Call of Duty

TKCMuzzer4108d ago (Edited 4108d ago )

Quick scoping sniper (supposed to take skill to aim sniper rifle), target finder (this is stupid on a game with overused aim assist), long range shotgun (really?), pubescent idiots (far to many who think their all that) and bloody lag.

Oh and the stupid , farcical kill cams that do nothing but amplify how bad the lag is.

Has anybody also noticed, when you think your hiding behind something, you get shot, watch the kill cam which then seems to indicate you were not actually behind the door frame but in fact standing like a knob in the middle of the door waving at the enemy....farce.

......calms down.....right, time to start swearing at the TV again..

... I take it back... there's a thousand reasons I don't play the series any longer...

cyclindk4108d ago

Don't play any COD anymore for this reason and this reason alone... aim-assist.

Just gives otherwise inept players a fair advantage, yes, FAIR, which isn't the way the world works, or competition matching one's skills to another person's.

Simply giving anyone an enormous sticky freaking box within which they can place their reticule and doll out death is ridiculous.

Remedy would be easy enough, matches that exclude only aim assist universally. Oh, well thank goodness for Battlefield.

fresh2death934108d ago

There is aim assist for almost every console FPS....

TKCMuzzer4108d ago

There is aim assist and then there's COD drag the gun across the screen aim assist, its way over the top.

Killzone 2 is a good example, you could always spot a COD player in those matches because they were always waving their gun like a plank, funny as anything but easy fodder for many Killzone players.

cyclindk4108d ago

I agree, but I've never encountered such a blatant one as in COD, maybe Homefront.

In others, even Battlefield I find it hinders performance, especially where you have to lead on our targets at range, so...

TKCMuzzer4108d ago

Reward those who turn aim assist off. They will never force people to not use it, so reward those who play with skill.

fresh2death934108d ago

(Not in any order)
1.Campers
2.Cheap kills
3.Lag (seeing someone first but he kills you and than when you look at his point of view in the killcam it looks like he saw you saw before you did)
4.I always hated Snipers and that's in every game but epically in COD , While im actually playing and trying to find enemies , you got other people camping in rooms with their freaking bouncing Betty just sniping there. I wish they had a sniper only lobby so i won't have to deal with those quick scoping annoying kids and could actually play without having to worry about getting shot 100ft away while im rushing.
5.Kids under 17 playing this , they usually are the most annoying and the ones that camp , quick scope etc.

Summons754108d ago

everything about it in general is annoying...poor cod fanboys being tricked into buying the same reskinned game over and over, oh well their loss in true gaming experiences.

Xbox $70 billion bet paid out

fr0sty252d ago

Guess that's what happens when there's no good new games to play...

4Sh0w252d ago (Edited 252d ago )

Well regardless of exclusives, or whatever else there is to play on Xbox or ps, CoD has has still been the top selling game on ps platform since forever also.....so no surprise that the most popular game franchise on any console could easily have a revival due to servers coming back online...this is just credit to xbox backwards compatibility & thats good thing for Xbox gamers.

wiz7191252d ago

@Frosty orrrr maybe it’s a breath of fresh air to be able to go back to the peak of the series .. and it’s beem great lol

mkis007252d ago

It's going to take 10 years for xbox to generate that much profit...

Rhythmattic252d ago

Why worry when they have OS, Server and Background Data in their hands...
Gaming is just the small piece, at the top left in a few K piece jigsaw.

EasilyTheBest252d ago

If you buy a house with cash for 1 million dollars you still own the house. Microsoft don't need to make the money back.

Rhythmattic250d ago

But its not money back, its about how it goes missing.

jznrpg252d ago

Shooters is what Xbox people play most of the time and that’s about it by the numbers and sales of games.

shinoff2183253d ago

Atkeast older gamers nostalgia is good. Jeez.

Jin_Sakai253d ago

Mostly because the new CoD games are garbage. The old games were much better.

Rutaprkl252d ago

Agree 100%. Cod 4, WaW, Black ops 1 & 2, those were the days.

Rhythmattic252d ago

For MP, Unreal tournament , QIII Arena (loved the UT mod) FTW!

RaidenBlack252d ago

Unreal Tournament and Quake III were simply amazing ... CoD's and CoD-likes' rise killed the arena shooter popularity ...
Unreal Tournament 2004 is my favorite in the series.
Didn't enjoy Unreal Tournament III, Quake Champions that much.
Too bad Epic cancelled Unreal Tournament 2014 becoz of Fortnite

Rhythmattic251d ago (Edited 251d ago )

I got hooked on the QIII Urban Terror mod (and my work colleagues I introduced them to)... LAN Sessions at the closing of the doors at work, into the night , sinking beers and eating pizza..... Good times.

thesoftware730252d ago

Wow, good games never get old I guess.

CoD will always be a beast of a franchise, and how awesome is it that you can just boot it up or pop it into your Xbox and play, MS BC is really a neat feature.

CrimsonWing69252d ago

Shows you that backwards compatibility is a worthwhile feature.

1Victor252d ago

@crimson:” Shows you that backwards compatibility is a worthwhile feature.”
I agree it’s worthy at the start of the generation when there’s few new generation games but halfway through the generation it’s not a feature.
Now it’s good that this game is finding a renewed life for its fan but it shows a mayor flaw in new games release when a close decade old game is toppling the charts

CrimsonWing69251d ago

I don't know if I understand what you mean. It's a feature regardless of the time into the generation.

Let's take Armored Core 6 for example. Let's say I'm interested in checking out the previous Armored Core games, sure would be nice if I could play them on my current-gen console.

We're about 3 years into current-gen and old games are hitting in the top 5 for sales charts in the month.

I do get where you're coming from with older games possibly being better than the newer games, but the feature stays the feature. I can only speak for myself, but when there's a lull in game releases or nothing great is out, I like to go back to old titles. It's just nice to not have to have a bunch of consoles out to do so.

I think moving forward it'll be less and less of an issue as like with the PS5 you can access most all of the PS4 games, but I like going back to PS1 and PS2. Would be awesome to kind of make backwards compatibility a prioritized feature moving forward. Hell, Sony was the first to implement it.
