Modern Warfare 3 is going to do what it does best. Offer the best online experience, the biggest online experience and the most competition.

It will release a solid if not spectacular game that demolishes the competition, but the whiners here will call everyone else "Sheep" and then go do something sheepish of their own.

Close_Second4727d ago (Edited 4727d ago )

You for real?

I would say COD offers the best casual gaming multiplayer experience. Honestly, the maps in COD:BO were as uninspired as they come with the controls being geared towards run-n-gun mentality.

COD:BO single player felt like it was just going over old territory and the game engine made it feel so linear and pre-rendered. The franchise needs a major overhaul. Ok, keep the gameplay to make the "sheep" happy but for goodness sake beef up the game engine.

I find it hard to believe that you think MW3 will offer the best MP experience. Sure it's a great game to casually play now and again for quick thrills, but for those gamers that are looking for something more it's got to be BF3.

Although I may act it sometimes, I'm not actually biased over one game than another. I can see the appeal of COD and why it is so popular, but I can also see why many people are annoyed how that is so and that they want something more.

I genuinely believe that BF3 will revolutionise the FPS genre, and am glad to see it do so. Since the release of COD4, the FPS genre has grown stale and stagnant as everyone trys to adhere to the gameplay and rules set by it. I don't think people can really see yet that we are due for another 'revolution'. FPS games are getting so boring as they're just the same game with different guns, different settings, different characters.

I am eagerly awaiting BF3's release, that's all there is to say.

Call Of Duty casual? No offense but I play Call Of Duty games competitively. I have put in over 30 day's on each Call Of Duty title since COD4.

I hate when people try to generalize something as casual, according to the people here the only things "core" are games nobody plays.

I always tell people, if your tight on money and a lot of people are these days, buy a COD game and your set for the rest of the year. Call Of Duty games have the largest community and unlike most games that die out a couple months down the road, Call Of Duty games only gain in popularity.

Nothing casual about COD titles, especially when you run a gaming clan like I do.

Caleb_1414727d ago

I didn't say it couldn't be competitive now did I? You can't argue with me and say that COD has a steep learning curve, if at all - that's what I mean by casual. It's so easy to play and that's what's wrong with it, people can run around and get cheap kills, hence why I believe it's casual.

Can you not make the connection between having a large fanbase and a game being casual? It seems to me that the more time a game takes to learn, the less people there are willing to spend time doing so.

Take Arma 2 on the PC, that's got a great and really friendly community. Everyone is in the game for one reason and that's to enjoy the tactics and strategy that a military FPS brings to the table. It's much harder to learn to play and everyone has roles that they are good at, yet it has really quite a small fanbase.

COD - you pick up a gun and shoot the first person you see. It doesn't require anything more than that basic instinct.

It is a casual game which is easy to play, just because you choose to play competitively doesn't suddenly make the guns have more recoil, doesn't suddenly make the RC cars go away.

Face it, COD's a casual game for casual players.

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

melons26d ago

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.

Gridknac26d ago

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.

X-2325d ago

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.

Certain to have some sort of reference to their online store for CBD/THC chews, which is advertising heavily online the last month or two.

Sciurus_vulgaris41d ago

The randomness of the multiplayer characters is one of reason I quit playing COD after briefly returning in 2022. We got Space Marines, rappers, tree monsters etc. all in a series called “ Modern Warfare”.

OtterX40d ago (Edited 40d ago )

I think if there was ever a time for a competitor to rise up and take away some of Call of Duty's thunder, the time would be now. A military shooter that takes itself seriously, not sold out to Fortnitism. Easier said than done, I know... but the time is ripe.

I can't stand this stuff either.

Palitera40d ago

There are tons of MP shooters that make no profit, if you're looking for one of those

fsfsxii40d ago

You guys have been saying this shit since 2009. Fortunately, nobody’s bringing down cod anytime soon, if ever.

crazyCoconuts40d ago

I agree. I really didn't like how the silliness takes away the gritty origins. That and all the crazy effects... dunno. I'm still playing it but I'd love for someone to steal their cheese and cater to grittier players

OtterX40d ago

@fsfsxii It's not so much wanting COD itself to die as it is wanting this silliness to die. Like CrazyCoconuts said, it takes from the grittiness. Many OG COD players want a straightup Military shooter experience, not silly costume time at Carnival.

is this what the kids want these days a pair of iconic stoners who were big in the 70s and have kind of held on I enjoyed their movies decades ago but I never recall the movie where cheech infiltrates a enemy base while chong snipes for support guess I must of missed that one

Knightofelemia41d ago (Edited 41d ago )

Cheech just looks so wrong in the picture.

Profchaos40d ago

Why just why. cod up in smoke

anast40d ago

They charge too much for a game that is kitsch.
