It is bound to happen. Any game series runs the risk of repetitiveness due to building on past successes to develop new success. While mostly prevalent in the sports genre, it has started to creep into various other genres.
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.
To me cod4 will always be the best it was something we had not seen in any fps.But now with it's yearly release it's gone downhill alot and they can't even afford to have a beta,what a bunch a losers.Plz don't come in here saying oh Black ops is better than cod4.Sure it may have more customization than cod4 but i don't care about customization i prefer to have fun over anything else and that's my two cents.
When you're "on top" you have nowhere to go but down. Its only natural for this to happen unless they reinvent the genre again.
EDIT: COD is not my fav, but come on. Its the most successful FPS of all time commercially as well as critically. I'm a Killzone person BTW
ill admit i liked mw2 much more than the first. However I absolutely hatered the .05ms lag lol. like i would be getting shot then i go hide behind an unpenatrable wall and i die. killcam: i just stood there basically did nothing. and i know thats online for ya but idk...i just dont have that problem with other online games like warhawk or resistance 1..
COD is a dead franchise for me now. COD4 set a benchmark than no other COD game has passed. However, at least the games are getting shorter and more expensive :S
I'm over CoD now. I just don't care about it anymore...it's still fun in short bursts though.
