My uneducated CoD opinion is that even if Infinite Warfare was not a great CoD game, it was perhaps the best Battlestar Galactica game ever.

I would totally play more games in that universe but apparently everyone else hated it

I know it sucks tremendous rear end but the new update and map looks fun.

Don’t waste your time. It’s absolutely awful. I’m a huge bf guy and I thought there was nowhere to go but up from after 5 was one of the shittiest shooters ever, but 2042 proved that wrong

imo anybody who doesn't list 2 in their list of "best cods" needs to buy a one way ticket to the surface of the sun :blastu:

i hated ghosts when it came out but i played it again recently and actually i kinda like it. the alien mode is fun in short bursts and the multiplayer feels very much like MW3

Yeah, probably not. I was a huge BF guy too but didn’t care for BF1 (I will admit to it being pretty good I just didn’t like it) and then absolutely hated BF5 which pretty much killed the franchise for me. I had hopes for 2042 but lol :dice:

It’s funny because a friend of my son’s dad is a manager at EA and even within the company DICE has a reputation of being huge moneyburning fuckups.

I didn’t really start playing CoDs until mw2019, it had always seemed too hard to enjoy multiplayer because of the tryhards who stomp anyone who doesn’t play 10 hours a day. But then I would just play PC, it’s probably the worst for that.

half-life 1 is one of the shittest quake-inspired FPS games and has aged like air fried dog poo poo but it's still one of the best ever made imo. same way i feel about CoD2. that "spotting the tanks" mission in the British campaign still pisses me off big time though

basically my battlefield experience in a nutshell. big fan of every single game through 4, then hardline kinda sucked, 1 was decent but wasn't very engaging, and V/2042 made me pretty much never play battlefield again except for BF2:MC on the og xbox which is still amazing

I played a lot of 1, but I agree, it didn’t feel right. The last great bf was 4 imo.

Regular cod multiplayer is real hot and cold. Some games you’ll go 30-3 and some you’ll get wrecked. Way she goes. I can’t explain this, but I think the skill ceiling in regular cod multi is pretty low, and the floor is fairly high due to how easily the games play. The real sweats are in warzone

E- I’m only talking about normal competitive multi. I’ve never played ranked and never will because that shits cancer

I think it is the sbmm being weird, once you hit a level it just starts combining you with all the awesome folks.

I am hooked on the mw2019 ones just for the sound effects, weapon models and animations and the movement. It just feels really good to play!

Normally I like playing warzone plunder (aka dad modes) the most because they can be either hunting down other players or just kind of doing your thing with respawns, but they don’t have that mode on anymore (also caldera sucks, bring back OG verdansk!)

MW2019 sbmm is weighted entirely on the best player in your party which makes it real annoying as a console player to play with one of my friends on PC, but it definitely sharpened my skills quite a bit.

and i 100% agree with you on MW2019 feeling/sounding incredible. my favorite game to play with headphones up loud. the 'other' COD engine they used for black ops and vanguard looks and feels like a Quake 3 mod (yes I know all cods are a Q3 mod but this one is very obvious)

Yeah it looks and sounds so good, just the sound effects for things like hit markers and picking up cash really give a sweet sweet dopamine hit :haw:

I am really excited to see what MW2 multiplayer looks like, I'm probably going to preorder to get into the beta. Might even go for the vault to get all the extra goodies!

I liked it aside from the absolutely awful story. Wait, different troops don't get along -- but also robots!?! And the stupid ending.

Love all the low tech scifi stuff though.

Yeah other than the novelty levels like the nvg ones the campaign stuff is pretty meh.

It was disappointing how the coop and survival missions are too, just waves of enemies coming from any possible direction, it gets ridiculous. The 747 raid one was pretty fun but things like the embassy defense was not.

The only coop mode that has been somewhat fun are the large map zombies ones in cold war blackops and even that got a bit boring and they were pretty buggy on occasion too.

I’m really hoping that mw2 will have some replayable non pvp stuff other than a campaign.

MW2022 should be free multiplayer/warzone and then charge $60 for the campaign.

Yah that would be cool, but multi will be $$ too I’m sure. I also would not bother buying a campaign if it was sold separately.

Wonder what the timeline for the acquisition is, my wild guess is won’t be merged til next spring.

It and PGR3 were probably the only two actually-good games you could play on your new Xbox360 in 2005 if it actually worked. And maybe Quake 4, if you could deal with the framerate.

People played a lot of Halo 2 on that thing at first, kicking off the grand tradition of using your new Xbox primarily to play games made for your old Xbox.

iirc the emulation on Halo 2 was pretty fucky through the console's lifespan though considering it wasn't hardware emulation like the PS3/PS2 stuff that's to be expected

My group played Halo 2 for YEARS on the 360. I got so tired of it I rented Bioshock just to get everyone to try something different. And it became my favorite game.
