Chris of www.c-techworld.com writes; Black Ops 2 is only around the corner, and for most Call of Duty fans its been penciled in the diary for months.
But will the same hold true for this time next year?
Call of Duty games used to be streamlined experiences, but COD 2024’s UI could be another nightmarish clutter of streaming tabs.
If we’re beating that drum, can we also stop forcing anyone who wants to play only the single player to download Warzone and all updates BEFORE they are then able to do another download from the menu of the single player campaign. I don’t see why I need 150gb of downloads in several ways to play the single player mode only from a bloomin disk which should have that campaign on it already.
The UI is confusing to me because I have not purchased a Call of Duty iin like 8 years .Only bought CoD MW3 because 3 of my friends I have known since to 70s are playing zombies . But I am used it now .
The UI is the least of the franchise many problems these days. But yes the UI is also terrible.
Do you remember what gaming was like before Fortnite entered the gaming space? One of the biggest arguments was about loot boxes. Now we have conversations about crossovers, battle passes, and community outreach.
Idk. Loot boxes did disappear and battle passes and in game purchases are all cosmetic. We get free weapons and maps post launch, any gameplay affecting content. I could care less about all the cosmetics.
I absolutely hated the days where weapons were locked behind a less than 1% chance lootbox pull where it'd take 5+ hours to have enough tokens to do a single pull and lazy remastered/remake maps cost you $15 each wave or $50 for the season pass that you didn't know what you'd get and these maps were only available to those that bought it so you get a smaller pool of players match with.
Call of duty can simply not copy the bad aspects of Fortnite? Or is that too out of this world? Like COD, a realistic shooter-just HAD to have Nicki Minaj running around? Or super heroes?
I prefer the battle passes with free maps than the $50 season pass that divided the community. I definitely feel that Fortnite had some influence on CoD having loot boxes with Blackout being introduced in 2018 with Black Ops 4.
Actually Fortnite bullshit ruined Unreal Tournament. Epic are sellouts and I will never have that shitty store on my PC, fuck them and that shit bag Tim Sweeney. At least the community keeps the games alive, I still play UT2004.
The Black Ops Gulf War leaks continue with a list of weapon descriptions giving more info on what you can expect from new and returning weapons.

Even though there is no real innovation in the COD series, people need to understand its the only real 60fps shooter people do have on console.
Since console gamer's don't have another choice for a 60fps shooters, sure they have Rage and maybe another 1-2 titles. However none of them provide a real MP experience with 9 v 9.
Hence when you put all that together:
1. 9 vs 9 MP (sure it may not be much, but it doesnt require much to impress the console crowd anyways).
2. Smooth 60fps, Like i mentioned above its the only choice console gamers do have for a 60fps experience, sure most of them probably dont understand what 60fps is, however they can see COD is smoother than the other games they play and since no other MP shooter on console does the same COD has hit a sweet spot.
A lot of people on N4G really dont understand this. They keep complaining, why they wont upgrade the engine and improve the graphics. Well the reason is obvious..
Activision knows Console gamer's.. Dont care about graphics. For them its better to keep poor graphics so they can keep the 60 fps handle.
No.
Next CoD coming next-gen.
We've heard this about each COD since MW2.
Maybe Yes Unless MW4 Comes Out Swinging
The last good Call of Duty game was Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
