5 Features Next Gen Multiplayer Will Fail Without

MP1st - "With all of the hullabaloo and “leaked” news stories lately regarding the impending release of the next generation of consoles, it’s hard to believe we’ll have to wait much longer to get our grubby mitts on the Playstation 4, Xbox 720(?), and, of course, the already-announced Wii U."

Majin-vegeta4564d ago

Completely agree with this list.

Skip_Bayless4564d ago

Agree but bots are not necessary. That would inflate stats. Usually it's much easier to kill a bot than a human.

Spitfire_Riggz4564d ago

Maybe if bots were incorporated into all unranked "social" multiplayer modes? And removed for ranked modes?

SilentNegotiator4564d ago

More post-launch support with non-paid DLC would be nice, but with how unresistant people have been to paying $15 for a few maps of modified SP levels, I don't see this trend increasing.

Nitrowolf24564d ago

wow I agree with all of those. I know P2P can be pretty good and all sometimes, but Dedicated server is an absolute must same with server list. I mean I hate not being able to find a match in some games, a server list would be nice.

SilentNegotiator4564d ago

Microsoft already makes us pay $60 a year for the "privilege" to play in mostly P2P servers. Can you imagine what they'll charge if ALL servers are dedicated?

Nitrowolf24564d ago (Edited 4564d ago )

Didn't disagree. A price hike for something Like that would be utter BS unless MS hosted all the servers themselves for every game.

There are already dedicated servers for some games, which are hosted on the developers side. This is where I can understand the whole Online pass, but for games with nothing but P2P it doesn't make sense (i know Online pass wrong place but still).

PSN is pretty much the same as XBL P2P,but it has a lot more dedicated servers for games.

Outside_ofthe_Box4564d ago

"Killzone 2 featured an excellent server list that offered players control over map selection and variation, weapon selection, and game mode and time limits. For some inexplicable reason, this feature was cut for Killzone 3, and the game was a lesser title because of that loss."

This is one of the many reasons why I hated KZ3 and why KZ2 > KZ3.

Also, all first person shooters next gen should have head tracking.

Criminal4564d ago (Edited 4564d ago )

Head tracking would be great if it's well implemented. I don't this Kinect can do it justice at the moment.

Outside_ofthe_Box4564d ago

Yeah, it has to be implemented well. If it's tacked on you might as well not have it.

Nitrowolf24564d ago

KZ3 story might have been an improvement, but yeah the MP seemed like a step backwards with all the stuff from KZ2 taken out.

HeavenlySnipes4564d ago

the story was better. It actually didn't make any sense. After KZ2, you see loads of Helghan ships preparing to deplo and rape the rest of the ISA forces. I thought that this would mean that we would have to SNEAK through the nuked city to find an isolated point for evac. Instead, we just march through the streets and see little to no resistance. WHY THE FUCK NOT? We then end up (with only 60 ISA soldiers) taking out the MAWLR and destroying the Helghan nuke that was meant for Earth.

Also, WHERE THE HELL IS NATKO????

TheFirstClassic4564d ago

The story didn't make a whole lot of sense, Killzone 2's was nothing amazing but at least it was easy to follow.

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

melons25d 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.

Gridknac25d 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-2324d 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_vulgaris39d 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”.

OtterX39d ago (Edited 39d 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.

Palitera39d ago

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

fsfsxii39d ago

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

crazyCoconuts39d 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

OtterX39d 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

Man I'm getting to old for this

Knightofelemia39d ago (Edited 39d ago )

Cheech just looks so wrong in the picture.

Profchaos39d ago

Why just why. cod up in smoke

anast39d ago

They charge too much for a game that is kitsch.
