See, the only arcade game they had in Canuckistan when Macys was a kid was Starfighter.

Unless you can beat Xur and the Ko-Dan Armada, he's not down for killin' Space Invaders or eatin' power pellets.

Zombies is popular because most of the playerbase have never played Left 4 Dead. Actually If CoD Zombies levels had a saferoom like L4D or some such ending to levels I might play it.

Or hell, like ME3 MP. 10 waves of increasing difficulty. Make it so people can choose 5/10/20 or whatever and leave in an infinite option.

Y'all fuckers need to play Killing Floor 2.

But I agree. I enjoy zombies but it needs a goal with the option to continue if you want to go for epeens. I used to have fun trying to get the easter egg poo poo done, but that should have been the obvious route instead of having to have someone youtube it while going through. Maybe they'll fix it this time. Just the same, I enjoy it when I get tired of pwnin nubs.

ALSO KF2 or Vermintide are both pretty great at scratching that itch these days.

It's almost 24 hours before launch and they haven't announced any clan support (outside of clan tags). Usually by now they would give people a way to migrate a clan to the next game. I wouldn't get your hopes up.

For me it was CoD4 (MW1) and Blops1 that I liked best. I play them on PC and MW2 just never worked well for me (I seemed to wait forever to get into a match and half the time it put me in a game that was laggy as gently caress) so I skipped it and played other stuff...and ended up liking CoDBlops as a return to form. Blops2 was OK but I wasn't as much a fan of the future guns and the maps seemed smaller (maybe my imagination though).

I almost feel like they need to make the future stuff with advanced movement its own franchise so they can make those games and just run wild with crazy movement and do whatever they want. Then have traditional CoD be 20th century and modern conflict stuff aimed at pleasing its audience. That would probably gently caress with the whole annual release thing I guess (and it'd probably make keeping CoD fresh a bigger challenge).

Blops1 was super easy to crush people in MP. Like, stupid loving easy to just never lose and average a 3 or 4 K/D; I'm pretty sure this is where a lot of the love comes from, at least around here. The m14 and FAL were rad (not that 99% of people playing that game ever strayed from the ak74u/famas). It was also really boring design-wise if you compare it to the IW games on either side of it (this isn't a completely bad thing).

Blops2 was also uninteresting but with the added benefit of objectively worse netcode than the previous five games. I was out of town for like three months after Christmas that year, and there was just no compelling reason to fire that game up after I came home. Maybe it got better? I doubt it, but people act like it's the best CoD. Unless Treyarch issued a patch changing Blops2 into a Modern Warfare game after I stopped playing, I just don't see how that's possible.

Also, three lane maps are kinda boring, but they're easy to control in objective games. The way that goon teams usually play, Treyarch maps are well-liked for a reason. I tend to like them myself.

It was patched three or four times between June to August, allowing me to use weapons other than the one-hit wunderkind that was the Remington 870.
Because if the enemy required more than one to die, the netcode was such that I could shoot first- hit first- and still die first. God, that still pisses me off. :argh:
