From Golden Eye to SOCOM to Halo, there has been many games that sat on the King of shooters thrown. But arguably when PS3 and 360 showed up it seemed obvious their was a new king, Call of Duty. At first everything seem to be going great for the game series, it was a new game that came out with all new ideas. ( customize your gun load outs,shoot threw walls etc) Things appear to looks as if Call of Duty would rule over shooters for the foreseeable future. That is until one day a new game rose up during it's rule, to challenge Call of Duty and that game was Battlefield 3.
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.
Recently, players of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone were met with a new bundle featuring the B.E.A.S.T. Glove, inspired by King Kong's armament in the Godzilla x Kong movie. However, the $80 price tag attached to this themed accessory left many Call of Duty fans feeling underwhelmed.
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.
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.
socom and halo 2 are my favorite multiplayer shooters.
Seems that Battlefield kind of killed themselves. That game has completely fallen off the map as far as my friends list is concerned. Too many bugs I guess. Titanfall dominates what my friends are playing right now, but there is still quite a bit of Call of Duty activity as well especially on the weekends.
On the PS4, I don't really have any friends yet pretty new to the platform so I can't comment on activity there.
Personally I do think Titanfall is the most fun right now. I am a huge fan of wall running and their vertical layered maps are really well thought out. Feels fresh and makes it hard to go back to the others.
What is with the misuse of words and improper title casing? The words and images overlap in places and there is a random font change at the end.
I do miss SOCOM though... I might have to dig out my PS2 and bridge a connection to it for xlink.
Maybe Destiny will be the king now?
I dunno.
