From Strategyinformer.com: "Times were simpler in 2003. No kill streaks, experience points or Call of Duty Elite. It was just the rolling hills of virtual France, some gruff soldiers and a LAN connection. Activision could only dream of what its new First Person Shooter franchise would become.
At the time Infinity Ward was an unknown name - all it was famous for was for being a collection of petulant developers who dared to break away from leading series, Medal of Honor. No-one really knew if Call of Duty would survive, but judging by the bombastic opening of earlier rival Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, it was likely it would."
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.
cant wait to tell my kids we lived during the Dialup to broadband revolution
Call of Duty was such a GRAND Game! Awesome immersion into WWII with great control, nice graphics (at the time) and most importantly it really captured the feel, looks, and sounds of WWII!
The games SP was a nice fast paced run through various situations of killing Nazi's as either Britts, Russians, or Americans as each county used it's own weapons and fighting style to dispatch the dreaded 3rd reich!
The MP mode took a lot of good from Counter Strike and expanded on it with new game modes and tactics depending on the map layout.
Map Layout really made COD fun and unique cause of trenches, huts, forts, cover, objectives, etc. that many other Online MP games really didn't have at the time! Other MP games were just bland open areas or corridors with maybe high and low levels where as COD made the Maps sorta interactive and play a major role in tactics.
Call of Duty is an all time CLASSIC title in my book and worth a play through here and there on my retro Sunday Gaming days!
COD back then was also all about SKILL unlike the Perk driven casual experience of the COD Modern Warfare era we have now! So if you "think" your good at COD then I suggests you go back in time and play Call of Duty 1 and put your skills to the test without all the crutches, help, and perks of todays COD games!
