Duty 4 is not a tactical shooter; it's certainly not a strategic military title. It is, especially in the short yet not brief single-player campaign, a roughly eight-hour fight to stay alive by you and your squadmates, your allied combatants. Staying this side of giving too much away, not all of you are going to make it, either. In terms of gameplay, very little you do matters. Save for the fact your assault team's forward movement is sometimes triggered by your arrival at waypoints, and also that you are often assigned the key role in objective tasks, like planting and detonating C4, you could hide behind a wall the whole time, and your actions would have no influence on the outcome of the game. Indeed, on the campaign's higher difficult settings, this would be the smartest decision you'll ever make in a game. Otherwise, you're going to die.
MW 2019 is five years old at this point and on previous gen hardware, but it is still the best looking Call of Duty game to date.
MW was an excellent videogame. They messed up Spec Ops big time, but aside from this it was a huge step in the right direction initially. Most notably, at launch it seemed to come from a very cohesive creative vision that was felt across gameplay, to story to art style/visual direction. It was also very notably written by prominent ex-Naughty Dog guys that quit almost immediately before release.
That COMPLETELY dissolved through post-launch content and the full pivot to a "cross-mode" narrative that completely obliterated the cohesion in overall story direction. Warzone then "became" the new face of Call of Duty and the franchise completely removed itself from anything remotely creatively "good". It is a pure money machine, so I kinda get why they're doing it....but I personally completely lost interest.
I would love to see Infinity Ward move off CoD and get to make their own product with full control. They clearly have some massive talent in their ranks but it's perverted by Activision's corporate interests.
Call Of Duty is back with its yearly instalment, but is Modern Warfare 3 breaking new ground, or just a lazy cash grab? The answer may not surprise you in today's review from JDR.
The original Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2 games have been drawing players back in
I really hope we get other activision games on GP soon. My dream would be Scarface but I know the license probably expired
Love me some Scarface! I even bought the comics. Yeah, licensing would probably be an impasse.
I played through Scarface again last year and it still holds up. Such a fun game. I would love for Xbox to get the rights back to remaster Scarface and make a sequel. It sold well and they had plans for Scarface 2, 3, and 4. With how long it takes Rockstar to make games the market is wide open.
That game was so much fun. Expected a cheap GTA clone but it was a good drug empire building game.
They didn't just have plans but there's actual gameplay out there for scarface 2
Seriously man we need games like
True crime
Sleeping dogs
Watch dogs( more like original not legion)
And proper saints row
GTA can’t be the only option we need other games
None of those games had dedicated servers on console in the first place? Were always player hosted. Did something change?
I could have written it myself. Bang on in my book
...I would rather have the idea of having few online people with mics.
The reasons:
1) Annoying 12-year olds claiming to be experts
2) Annoying 12-year olds saying stupid things
3) People making strange noises
4) MS fanboys talking trash about PS3 and PSN while playing ON A PS3
5) White supremacists bragging about the quality of their noose hanging off their backyard trees and ganging up on people with unmistakable black voice
6) Anti-war liberals berating people for playing an "American-propaganda military game" while remaining ignorant about "innocents" getting killed elsewhere (happened once while playing GRAW 2)
EDIT:
@games4fun,
True...but in some other games, you don't know who's "talking sh!t" such as GRAW 2 for the PS3 (you only know who's got the mic in the lobby). I tried to mute them off, but first I have to play a "guessing game" of who's who. Sure, you can mute them off in Resistance, but some "chat trollers" take advantage of some games where they can talk stupid stuff anonymously.
The charactor the gamer plays can't take cover like the rest of the AI's, thats the only thing not tactical about to me. planting plastic explosives and throwing smoke and stunn grenades seems tactical to me(snipe this guy, plant this here, throw that there so we can make it through). You can't run and gun thats for sure, well not for very long anyways. Its a mix on a much grander scale than other shooters.
this must be the multiplatform of the year.
I'm about done with the single player (been taking my sweet ass time).I also (finally) got to play some online multiplayer.This game is all around great.
