Is this the first time they'll be shutting down servers for older CODs?

How do you shut down the game servers for a game that uses a Peer to Peer connection? I mean, besides photoshopping it in, of course.

Mill Village

Large-scale Peer to Peer networks require servers to manage the connections. P2P networks are much cheaper then dedicated servers so I can't imagine Activision shutting them down (until MS and Sony shut down their old networks) or they would have shut them down a long time ago. You can still play COD2 online on your 360, and that game is going to be 10 this year. Heck, when Nintendo shut down their online network for the Wii and DS, Activision didn't turn their system off so you can still play those COD games online.

If they were to ever shut down the old ones, it'd mean a CoD HD collection is imminent. :getin:

Using a paladin with the 105mm cannon on Recovery is really fun. If you use it when the map changes over you can bombard the enemy with impunity as there is no where to hide thanks to splash damage on the cannon.

If I wanted to grind ten different currencies/faction reps, I'd open Google Play on my phone and download F2P games; not spend sixty+ dollars.

Or play COD since that could be said about prestiges and weapon unlocks. The hate is weird though since my party chat screen is littered with Destiny parties. It reminds me of that screenshot of the steam group calling for a boycott of whatever game and mostly everybody in the group was playing said game.

Prestiging in CoD is a choice, and not required to reach the maximum level. Nor do you need random drops to get there.

In Destiny, it's a requirement to reach the top.

I don't hate the poo poo out of it per se, but I'm terribly disappointed in the lack of any personal narrative like in Mass Effect, or Contra style weapon types. It's the same problem I have with Borderlands, but more so.

Having to go online to read back story (and silent protagonists) is lazy and miserly as gently caress.

Is the weapon balance patch coming out the same day as the DLC? I kinda want to see how that turns out before buying any map packs.

The ae4 is cool. Not the greatest by any means; it's a season pass gun? Or DLC gun? Idk. So I like to think it makes the poors mad that they can't have it because of my dumb decisions

Probably because all bullets in all call of duty games are lasers anyways, they just aren't usually bright blue.
