DAE hate Call of Duty?????

[–]MiLlamoEsMatt 25ポイント26ポイント  (10子コメント)

The extent of the CoD hate is weird. Like, I legitimately don't get it. A new one comes out every year, sure, but they're barely related and it doesn't seem like they're bad. Is it just 15 year olds being 15 year olds and hating everything they loved when they were 8?

(I've only played a few rounds of AW since MW2, so I don't really know if there was one really bad one that ruined it?)

[–]caninehere 17ポイント18ポイント  (2子コメント)

Call of Duty's map design is pretty bad these days, and they're pretty stale - it's the same thing year after year.

But you know what? It's still better than a lot of other shit out there. It's still a relatively fun game, and it still plays well and it's a complete product and you get what is advertised.

Not to mention it usually has a lot of content. Single player, multiplayer, special ops maps type stuff, zombies and more. You get bang for your buck.

This year is going to be a weird one though - since the COD4 remaster comes attached to the new game, there will probably be a lot of people buying it ONLY for that.

...or they can wait half a year and it gets a solo release to rake in more dollars!

[–]CaptainVampire -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

I felt Advanced Warfare had great maps. The maps are beautiful and were designed with a good flow. Terrace is my favorite because there's so many ways to flank and move around. The thing that killed these maps was the exosuit jumping. The suits allowed you to go from one end of the map to the other in like 6 seconds. This didn't allow you to be alive for more than 20 seconds because you would be shot from behind, and the spawns would constantly switch around. If you're playing team death match you should be spawning relatively on the same side. This didn't allow the opportunity of flanking around and taking the enemy team by surprise from behind and racking up a kill streak. Being a good player required you to know where an enemy would maybe come from but in advanced warfare that's hard when there are two entrances but you didn't take into account the 20 foot wall they can boost over. Very hard to get double kills too. One guy jumps into the air and you empty your clip as he floats across and the second one kills you. I know there was a game mode where exosuit were disabled but no one played it, it was bullshit.

[–]lazynaming 4ポイント5ポイント  (1子コメント)

I think most of the hate comes from it becoming super stale, even when it attempts to innovate, because it looks and feels like every other title that came before it or will come after it.

One area that I'm surprised reddit doesn't have an absolute conniption over is their system for random loot that also utilizes micro transactions. They've done more to ensure that you don't really have to spend money on them, but this is near what could very will be the end of the game's life cycle and could be rendered completely pointless. It's also extraordinarily frustrating to know that these are not simply cosmetics, packs can be purchased that grant you either a hundred less dollars or a weapon with its own stats that have a very real impact in gameplay.

It's mostly a crapshoot, but people justify it and move on apparently. Meanwhile everyone's currently losing their mind over Single Player micro-transactions in Deus Ex.

Other than those, if you like the franchise a lot and it doesn't get stale for you, it can be genuinely fun. However, it's also well beyond an era where P2P should seriously never be an option considering how absurd connections can become in that environment and the ridiculous lag and unfair advantages/disadvantages that comes with.

TL;DR Microtransactions suck. Gameplay/Graphics/Story may all become stale. P2P Connection in Multiplayer is shit. Can be fun, though, and makes a great casual shooter.

[–]MiLlamoEsMatt 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I guess that sort of makes sense? MW2 and AW felt quite different and the loot setup seems fairly typical. That said, I skipped a few games and usually don't bother to unlock all the guns anyway.

I'll just be an old fogy and stick to my arena shooters.

[–]AUDhuhe2929 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I don't think the hate is even that bad anymore since the wagon is so worn down and half broken. People are almost numb to it. The sun rises then sets and a new CoD comes out in November. Life goes on, no one cares.

Personally I stopped caring with MW2, enjoyed BO2 a decent amount but other then that just fairly boring games due to the design philosophy. But I'm not the target audience so hard to complain.

...That said I think its super scummy they're locking the MW remaster behind the paywall of the new game. I'd still play that game if it was doable, PC is all 36 man server cluster fucks lol.

Since I'm not a huge fan, I waited and got Black Ops 3 on Black Friday for like $25. Played it a lot for the next couple months and still come back to it every now and again. It seems to still have a solid number of players online.

[–]_celtekk 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I understand there's a lot of hate that's probably bandwagon, but I have been playing CoD since the first one came out after IW split off from the MoH projects.

The last acceptable CoD game was MW2. After that, they[Read: Activision] simply used the brand name to pedal mediocre games and get people who loved the series to give them money for a lesser product. It's a shame, really. Yes, they have introduced a few new concepts such as Nazi Zombie Mode, but really they have NOT done the Call of Duty name ANY justice since Modern Warfare.

[–]Licknuts 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I never had a problem with MW, MW2, or MW3 even though they're the exact same game. They totally are, and I loved each one. Why? Because why the fuck would I be upset with a game sticking to the same themes that made me fall in love with it ever since the first one. I loved how straightforward and simple it was and they delivered what cod players like me always loved since day 1. Then it got sort of fucking ridiculous for my taste with the futuristic bullshit (I don't like futuristic themes, so that's my bias. I will admit it). Bo2 was cool in the sense of "Huh, ya know I've always liked modern cod, but this taste of futuristic game play is kind of neat". but then it turned out that's the direction all of the following cod games would follow (excluding Ghosts) and that made me not give a single fuck about them anymore. I never really played Battlefield but I did after I got sick of cod's recent releases and realized it's a much much better franchise for my preferences and I haven't gotten as excited for any other game as I have for BF1 so far. But I digress.

I disagree with your mocking of fans complaining that COD does the same thing and hating them for it. I think it's quite the contrary as fans have had distaste for the direction of recent cod themes ever since advanced warfare. Fans, especially at this point, would not be upset if cod did the same thing as they traditionally did. Why is that? Because it seems like fans are wayy more excited for Cod4 remastered than they are for IW. Not to mention the plethora of public backlash when Activision initially announced you HAD to buy it with IW in order to play it.

I'm pretty sure cod fans appreciate when a new theme comes up, but not when they stick to a future-gimmick for 5 fucking years straight. So to answer your question, what fans want from COD is for it to stop defining itself as a strictly space themed shooter and take a page from it's old book. By releasing a WW2 game right after an iraqi war themed game, and then putting out a fucking Vietnam game right after that and so on. NOT: "Let's put a future game out, and then next year let's put a future game out, and then after that put out a slightly less future game (ghosts), and then another future game after that, oooh and then guess what we'll put another future game out....." and so on.

A different IP perhaps? Cool down a bit on the annual release and stop milking the franchise? You got 4 companies all building on the same name... isnt that proof enough? I can play Modern Warfare or the new one.. it's still the same damn experience... but hey it's not the newest right? Gotta keep with the hype. Meanwhile in CSGO....

[–]lmhTimberwolves 42ポイント43ポイント  (12子コメント)

I'm sorry, but what exactly seems to be recycled about it apart from the engine? Deep space with selectable missions and zero G sections seems like a departure from the norm for them.

He's upset that the shooter still has you shooting other people. I think he'd prefer if they made a game where your skills at Tetris made your punches more powerful?

[–]The_Spartan_CV 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

It still plays the same. Every year they put a new coat of paint on a wall, but it's still the same wall as before. Even with zero gravity sections, it's still going to come down to the same basic gunplay. Just watching the E3 gameplay, the person-to-person combat doesn't look any different from any other Call of Duty game.

Now sure, campaign could be interesting. We'll just have to see if they take advantage of the potential there. But multiplayer is still going to have basically the same perks, kill/point/whateverthef*cktheydothisyear/scorestreaks, weapons, map design, and overall gameplay as any other Call of Duty.

[–]ItalianDragon 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

There's been a lot of asset recycling throughout the years in the SP campaign as example which contributes to the whole "it's recycled" aspect.

To add on that the SP campaign is basically the same every year AKA you are John McNofuckingbody and you have to obey orders. At some point you will be critically injured and your buddy will have to carry you around while you somehow manage to keep the bad guys off your tail. There will also be a couple of chase sequences and a "stealth" section. In the end you kill the bad guy, credits roll with Two Steps From Hell music in the background and voilà, you've cleared up the yearly CoD game.

These elements have been implemented in every single Cod game, with no exception whatsoever. What also contributes to the "stale-ness" of the game is also the diversity of the MP. Like what are you gonna get ? TDM, DM, FFA, CTF, some variant of gungame and the nowadays unmissable zombie mode and voilà. Just like the previous installments these gamemodes will be present without fault nor originality.

And for those who'd dare to call me a hater I own and have played every single CoD game from CoD 1 to CoD MW2, got the yarr versions of Black Ops and AW and watched uncommented let's plays of the other installments so it's not like I have never touched one.

EDIT:Formatting

[–]heliphael 0ポイント1ポイント  (7子コメント)

I think it's more or less the Multiplayer that's the same. I remember the CoD monthly sub a few years back.

[–]MLG_SlashySouls 8ポイント9ポイント  (6子コメント)

The multiplayer is definitely not the same every year. Back when it was CoD world at war and CoD modern warfare was a lot more similar since they're part of the same time period (why wouldn't they be similar?). But Black Ops 2 introduced a ton of drones, Advanced warfare introduced a whole new element to the movement system, Black Ops 3 refined this movement really well, and Infinite Warfare seems to be including a whole new grapple system.

There's certain elements that have remained largely the same, like many of the perks, score streaks, and gunplay. But this is to be expected with games in the same franchise. Battlefield has remained largely the same, so has different games in the counter strike series, and so has the games in most other franchises.

It would be a horrible decision for them to totally reinvent their games because they have built up a huge fan base, but the minor changes they've done has been good for the most part.

The games certainly aren't perfect, and the one year turn can be off putting, but they're certainly not the same game every single year. Less so than a lot of other games.

All that being said, there's certainly not anything wrong with having a game that's largely the same. Lets use counter strike as an example again. It's remained mostly the same. The graphics have gotten marginally better, weapon balance and the finer points of movement have been tweaked, they've added small features through the years, but it's still the same style of gameplay. And there's nothing wrong with that. CS;GO is a super fun game with a great competitive scene.

You mean Infinite Warfare will have FREE grappling hooks? cough Advanced Warfare cough

[–]MLG_SlashySouls 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

That isn't confirmed at the moment :p

But the cash grab is getting pretty common in AAA games today. Look a CoD points, CSGO cases, overwatch loot boxes, hearthstone card packs (at least the base game is free), or just about any game with micro transactions. The whales might make up a small portion of the player base, but damn are they profitable to market to. There is very few games that have done micro transactions tastefully.

[–]dcnation117 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

So far Titanfall 2 is the best looking option for me. After all their grappling hooks are confirmed to be free.

[–]MLG_SlashySouls 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm really tempted. The beta has been pretty fun so far; although, I hope they change up how the party system works. The current system seems like it'd work really well in big clans when people are looking for a gaming session with members of a specific community, but sucks for small groups of friends wanting to play together. It would really benefit from a lobby system.

I'll probably rent it for a few days to see how it is and then maybe buy it outright.

[–]alltheword -3ポイント-2ポイント  (1子コメント)

There has been 4 editions of counterstrike in 16 years. It is not even close too comparable to cod.

[–]MLG_SlashySouls 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I mentioned that the yearly new game is off-putting, but the point of comparing it (because 2 fps video games are comparable in at least a few ways) was to show that a games within a franchise being similar is not a bad thing.

[–]lazynaming 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think for some people it's like putting new wheels and a paint job on a car. You've changed how it feels a bit and how it looks a bit, but it's the exact same car. The designs are the same, the maps are the same, dialogues the same, stories mostly the same narrative, zombies feeling samey, score (music) is mostly the same. Not just that, but it's starting to feel samey even in Black Ops 3's Micro-transactions. You could spend years grinding out cryptokeys to unlock things ooorrr you could just spend a pretty chunk of money. The DLC pricing is also a bit ridiculous. Rather than split Zombies/Multiplayer, you pay for both of them at a pretty crazy price if only one aspect interests you and the new Multiplayer maps are implemented into one playlist alone for a while, so if you like Hardcore you can't have that experience until the developer decides you're ready to.

Don't get me wrong, I'm actually pretty hype for the Single Player experience, but once completed it will be virtually meaningless, the Multiplayer will be interesting for a while until I'm bugged to death by depressing micro transactions and a game where over 50% of the content is literally post-release content that they just keep pumping out to make money, and the Zombies mode doesn't interest me one bit. I don't like the motif. I don't like the direction. It doesn't fit with the rest of the title at all. Infinity Ward does not make entertaining 3rd option experiences. Extinction was fun for a laugh or two, but was not good in any way. This will simply draw on all previous zombies experiences and tack on something quirky and unnecessary that just takes my immersion and interest away.

The one thing that I'll be dying to grab is Modern Warfare attached. It had an excellent progression system in the Multiplayer and the gameplay was superb. It also had a very interesting Single Player that I played through a few times because the story was actually entertaining and memorable. I can envision the anarchy if they alter that experience with needless micro-transactions.

Nah, I think that the CoD hate started around 2010/MW2, when EA started pushing BF to compete with CoD with BFBC2.

Just sayin', but back in 2007/8 cod was the cool thing to love.

MW2 was 2009, and yeah, I think that was when a lot of it all started, what with it being so similar to MW1 and the whole dedicated servers thing. World at War wasn't received very well, either, but I admit it was a different kind of hate (WW2 setting fatigue was in full swing by then).

They could have sold it standalone for $60 and people would have bought it.

[–]cyrus233 -1ポイント0ポイント  (3子コメント)

Even that's not 100% true. New games change balancing, type advantages, and in some cases, even add new types entirely, which completely change the meta.

Saying that every Pokemon game has the same gameplay is the same as saying literally every turn-based game plays the same.

[–]anupsetzombie 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

And CoD has different maps, weapons, perks, attachments, game modes, story, graphics, music, etc.

I don't think the OP was bashing on Pokemon, just saying that people are very hypocritical when they say something sucks for x reason yet love another series that has the same issue.

Because let's face it, even if they scrambled all the stats and passives each Pokemon got each game (which they do sometimes) the core gameplay, especially for the common person (like me) is basically the same. Same thing applies to CoD, where you just pick a load out and shoot things.

And I'm not even hating on it, I love Pokemon. I even have Sun pre ordered. I've played every gen except for b/w 2. I also like CoD, zombies is one of my favorite things in any game ever.

[–]Namiweso 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Wasa does have a point though....

If you're bashing on CoD for being the 'same' when it really isn't, then the same can be said about Pokemon.

Here's a little comparison compared to your comment. Changing regions is the same as changing maps in CoD. Different types/weaknesses etc can be related to a game where snipers are worse in one CoD game to the next (e.g. MW2 and Black Ops) but have introduced a new primary class of shotguns we didn't see before and got rid of the secondary shotgun bullcrap.

Face it, if you're crapping on CoD for being the same every year but have no problem with Pokemon being the same your argument is invalid because you obviously have a personal bias to Pokemon (which is understandable considering nostalgia and shit but completely unfair and silly).

[–]cyrus233 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

if you're crapping on CoD for being the same every year but have no problem with Pokemon

I'm not.

Also it probably helps that Pokemon doesn't release once a year, and there aren't many other popular turn based JRPG's that are very popular, meaning that most people only play that type of game when they're playing Pokemon, unlike COD which has countless clones and competitors.

[–]RatofDeath 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

So, just like COD then? Entire new setting, new maps, new locations, new story, new characters and new gameplay elements. I enjoy both franchises and it's actually a pretty good comparison. New Pokemon games and new Call of Duty games have a lot in common in terms of being sequels.

  1. Sledgehammer has nothing to do with this year's game
  2. There is, right now, about 300+ people working on this years CoD. There is nothing 'cheap' or 'easy' about making a Call of Duty game.
  3. This is the first year the new IW has made a CoD (New IW being Neversoft in everything but name. They are aiming big.)
  4. Companies like Activision show investors that games can actually make money, to the point they are worth investing in. If Activision/EA/Ubisoft disappear modern gaming will have a very hard time surviving.

My argument when it comes to this is Call of Duty has actually changed features in their more recent games while Battlefield hasn't changed anything but setting.

And then we have Madden.

[–]Hotchkiss50 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Like all stupid people (OP Included) they'll just bandwagon on the hate train of "COD IS THE SAME THING EVERY YEAR!!!11!!!!!" and not bother ranting on the retarded supply drops and microtransactions people pay shit tons of money for, thus the reason why they're still going to be in the game.

[–]Licknuts 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I just went on a long rant about it above, but here's your reason for someone legitimately hating CoD. I hate CoD because they decided to stick with the same theme/gimmick for like 4-5 years straight now uninterrupted. I'm perfectly okay if you drop a future themed cod here and there in between other brand new ideas but that certainly isn't the case anymore. I hate that CoD has defined itself. It seems like they're only known strictly as a space-shooter now. At least that's what a consensus might say if you just look at the consecutive same themed releases. That kills the diversity of what they used to do. Before, it was:

"Alright bitches so here's the long haul. We're gonna put out a modern themed game that captures the war in the middle east. Then the year after that we're gonna put out a WW2 game. Then after that we'll dable back into the modern era involving a bit more of everything, but more updated with more intricate plots and even subplots that will carry over. Then after that, WE'RE GONNA DROP A FUCKING VIETNAM THEMED GAME. Also, the vietnam game doubles as a Cold War theme. Then after that we're gonna wrap up the modern era campaign we know of that takes place all around the world".

CoD wasn't single handedly defined by just one of those. Can't really say the same now if you just look back like 4 years in a row.

So if you're saying, "Okay, you're just an asshole who hates the space theme idea..get over it" then here's why that's not the case. I loved Black ops 2. I much much prefer modern shooters, but Bo2 was revolutionary for cod and made a lot of players, including me, go "Huh, ya know this is a radically new thing for cod and it's kinda nice to have this taste of their image in futuristic game play". It was great getting a brand new experience.

...But then that's the direction they decided to base all of their following games on. It's not that they decided to pursue soley on a futuristic theme that bothers me, it's the fact that they pursued soley on A theme in the first place. I hate what CoD has turned into because they are only sticking to one theme and setting instead of dabbling into others every other year as they used to do.

Also, CoD hasn't done anything too drastically different in terms of gameplay features that make me forgive it. Like it doesn't excuse the fact that there hasn't been a non-future themed cod game since Ghosts (and even then that's fucking pushing it. That game took place in 2023). In Bf1 you can bayonet charge, they've completely changed the vehicle use animations, bullet physics, off-the-rail large scale vehicle control (the zepplings) are just some of the new things I can think of off the top of my head that are non existent in previous battlefields. So I disagree with your claim that BF hasn't changed anything but setting.

Bullshit. Look at yearly released sports games for recycle examples. In most cases a new version is just a glorified roster update.

The hate bandwagon is appreciated in all but the only winning move is to not buy. Expressing how bad call of duty is will not change anybody's mind about it, they either already don't care/don't like it, or are lost.

Well they're trying: different settings and movesets. The core gameplay is always the same though, and why shouldn't it? You want cod, you get cod. What still sucks is their way of monetizing since aw but oh well, that's what gaming has become

Millions of Youtubers depending on COD for their income by telling us what the best guns are, it would be irresponsible not to bring one out each year! :)

For me the problem with cod is that there isn't enough variation on the base game that draws me in. In most cases I felt like I was playing the same game with some shinier guns. And zombies was probably the only fun part for a long time after mw2.

However the other thing is there is only so much variation that cod can have. When your base game is guns then you can only do "guns in space" "guns and jet packs" guns and horses" exc. it's not necessarily the devs fault, although I do think the fact that they release one almost every year is dumb. It's like the madden football games-nothing is really going to or needs to change from one to the next, but it has people buy the current one instead of having the old one stay popular.

To be fair, Infinite Warfare looks pretty interesting and they're trying a whole bunch of new stuff again. And actual new stuff, unlike omg-the-fish-have-AI-now Ghosts. I saw the panel at San Diego Comic Con and I'm intrigued. The whole idea that you're the Captain of a starship is pretty interesting to me. And that your fighter is a huge gameplay element and not just some gimmick. I just hope it's going to be as fun as it looks.

Black Ops 3 was pretty different and unique as well. I don't get the COD hate, to be honest. Yes, some people in the multiplayer are super obnoxious and Ghosts was pretty bad, but I've been enjoying the single player campaign in each COD (even Ghosts) since before Modern Warfare. Part of it is some guilty pleasure, definitely. But it's not nearly as bad as people make it out to be. Especially since innovation within the series exist. Black Ops 2 comes to mind with multiple endings and branching missions and story, for example. But the only thing you ever hear about COD is "lol stupid dudebros playing the newest COD, don't they know it's not a real game?"

And here comes the hate. Call of duty is a brand with a familiar type of gameplay within it. Every year we get a brand new campaign, all new multiplayer maps, guns, mechanics, and more, and we get side game modes. The ONLY thing that remains the same is the the game modes such as team deathmatch and domination. So your saying we should remove the multiplayer that we know of, remove the campaign, put something else in? You would ruin the series. It would be like taking cars out of Grand Theft Auto and giving everyone swords instead of guns, or taking the multiplayer out of Battlefield.

You can tell there's a lot of console gamers posting here. It's the proliferation of AAA recycled watered down garbage we get every year. They need their precious CoD to do well because they have no choice but to eat this AAA shit up.

It's mediocrity, and the people who actually support these types of franchises are the reason we get watered down shit every year instead of MORE games with actual substance!

Can't wait to see how many people downvote this because they're afraid of the truth.

The one time its actually way different and people still hate on it.

I find it funny how people hate on CoD and go "oh its the same game every year", yet arguably Battlefield has been the same game for the past couple of years since BF3.

BF1 just looks like BF4 with a WW1 skin on it, but it doesn't play like a WW1 shooter at all, it looks more like it's a WW2 shooter with a WW1 skin....

Hating on CoD in 2016 just to grab some internetpoints is such a pathetic thing to do.

Bad shit post, downvoted.

They shovel this shit out annually like a fucking Madden game.

Most AAA game companies release at least one game a year. They're all into making money. No point in singling Activision out.

honestly? I think it looks way more fun that BF1

BF1 look so boring, WW1 is a shite setting that isn't suitable for a game in my opinon. Call of Duty is the same formula yeah but I've got a soft spot for these over the top movie-esque campaigns

I haven't bought a CoD game in a long time and I'm not about to start here but I always pirate them later on for the campaigns, also played a few times online during free weekends and honestly had a lot of fun - the space battles in this look great imo
