How can anybody be hyped about this DLC?

Dazelya76d ago

HC CoD players, maybe? I've been playing the series since CoD1, and I'm a fan of it. Even the MW2 disgrace doesn't dampen my excitement for the new game. There is no single FPS game that can beat even CoD's worst game, and there never has been.

BioShock? Doom? Wolfenstein? Half-Life? F.E.A.R.? Cultic? Halo? Quake? Painkiller? Rage? Singularity? Warhammer 40k: Boltgun? Atomic Heart? Bulletstorm? Duke Nukem? Turbo Overkill?

Yui_Suzumiya,

Do you think I'm talking about the story of the CoD series? Even though I was talking about the story, it wouldn't have many competitors anyway, especially Cold War is in a special place for me. But what I'm talking about is a Multiplayer game... How many people do you think follow a series like CoD for the story mode? We are playing this game for the MP side, who cares about a 6 hours story? Apart from a few rare FPS games (Dishonored, Prey, Deus Ex etc.), I never cared about the story of any FPS games. Killing things aimlessly is a complete waste of time.

Note: Only a few of the games you mentioned are games that can be taken seriously, like; Bioshock (only Infinite), F.E.A.R (1), Bulletstorm and Doom (3). Other games never matter to me, and none of them have CoD like weapon mechanics, shooting feelings etc. anyway.

Gameplay wise were Battlefield 3 and 4 a lot better than COD.

"There is no single FPS game that can beat even CoD's worst game, and there never has been."

Ha... A game that is losing player base like crazy, cause its just a cheater fest, its still relevant because the streamers which most are actually cheaters themselves anyways ...

Even in its best years, BF wasn't a CoD competitor. This was just a conflict that people used to engage in because there were no other AAA MP FPS on the market. The only similarity between BF and CoD is that they are both FPS, and in BF 2042, EA is trying to make its games similar to CoD mechanics. However, when it comes to weapon feel, although BF is a series that I like very much, it falls behind CoD. Although the last successful BF game we saw was BF1 and we have never seen a quality BF again, and we probably won't.

Hacks and cheats? CoD has been a console game for many, many years. Frankly, the PC part is only cared about by the developers for Warzone. I have been turning off my Cross-Play for years and I don't even care what happens on the PC. If you're talking about Warzone, Warzone is not a CoD. Warzone is the reason why CoD has become infamous since 2019. What we call real CoD is the MP part and Ranked part of the game. Warzone is just a disgraceful piece of content made to attract kids and make money from them and needs to disappear immediately.

Gullable comes to mind. But to each their own...

I've never really liked any cod maps since probably black ops 2 lol. I know mw3 is just a real huge copy and paste but I think its great they're bringing back all OG mw2's maps. I still think they should've just remastered OG mw2 but whatever I guess.

Modern Warfare 3: Players Convinced AI Bots Are Being Placed Into Real Matches

Reports from players have surfaced stating that they believe they are playing with or against AI controlled bots in Modern Warfare 3.

Jin_Sakai17h ago(Edited 17h ago)

Wouldn’t doubt it. Enemies are either bad or incredibly good. Something just feels off about this game.

excaliburps9h ago

Yep. I've experienced this "bot-like" moment as well. It just looked weird and unnatural.

BeHunted2h ago

You're probably a noob. You'll end up in lobbies that has the same skill set as other players.

fr0sty1h ago

Probably because sales are so low that they have to fake it to make people think that the game is still being played.

Jin_Sakai1m ago

Recently played a game on Quarry and there was a guy killing everyone on our team and was on top of the scoreboard. Ended up watching the kill cam and he was under the map raking up kills. Saved a clip in PS5 with his name also.

BF 2042 already has them to keep lobbies full and the bots leave when someone new joins. DICE announced this at launch because people were afraid they wouldn't ind 128 player games.

Plague-Doctor271h ago

These might just be bots being run by users to level up faster or something and not bots set up by activision to fill lobbies

Good-Smurf1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

I can already sense them using Bots to manipulate their player count anytime their games are underperform or lack real players.
If these guys really do cared about their games once the servers are closed they should give us bots to play with in offline matches but again greed gets in the way so most of these are paperweight vaporware years down the line and fans have to keep prop it up modding it.

Call of Duty Studios Continue to Ignore the Community's Biggest Complaint -- SBMM

Sledgehammer might be the most communicative Call of Duty studio, but even so, the topic of SBMM is still ignored and that needs to change.

Jin_Sakai4d ago

Why are they so obsessive with SBMM? Literally know one likes it.

Sephiroushin2d ago

patents blatanly says to drive up microtransactions, so yeah long story short, for money...

DeusFever4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

SBMM is essential for keeping on-line multiplayer healthy. If you want to win every time, play single player on easy mode.

Jin_Sakai4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

If you think that’s all it does you should read more into it. It’s a load of BS is what it is.

“Activision files patent to negatively impact gameplay (specifically adding negative aim assist and lowering damage) of skilled players in multiplayer titles.“

“System and method for driving microtransactions in multiplayer video games”

“[0032] For example, in one implementation, the system may include a microtransaction engine that arranges matches to influence game-related purchases. For instance, the microtransaction engine may match a more expert/marquee player with a junior player to encourage the junior player to make game-related purchases of items possessed/used by the marquee player. A junior player may wish to emulate the marquee player by obtaining weapons or other items used by the marquee player.”

https://patents.google.com/...

Feel free to read all the BS in the patent.
