IGN:The Call of Duty franchise is about to turn 10 years old! Take a trip through memory lane and see the series' roots.
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.
The quality of COD was very high for the first game, second game, and the ones in between (big red one and finest hour, finest hour having one of the most epic russian campaigns I've ever played), and peaked at COD4. Unfortunately, as it started to become more and more annualized that's when the quality dropped drastically. I'm not saying CODs after COD4 are completely bad, but at the current rate they're never going to attain the quality they had from COD1-COD4
I would also like to make an amendment, and say that COD3 was erm...not as good, so that not every game from COD1-4 was good, but most were
I can see visual improvement between MW2 and Black Ops but Not between Black Ops 2 and Ghosts. IW and Activision both claimed Ghosts is running on new next gen engine but I can't notice any kind of visual improvement.. WTF?
Cod = mediocrity.
1, 2, 4, and MW2 are all incredible games. Can't wait for Titanfall. ;)
COD4 and world at war where by far my favs, i got bored with them from then on tho i did try them all.
