Looks like I can save my cash. Thanks, Dex.

bear in mind my opinions are based off multiplayer and i haven't touched the campaign yet

i'd feel better about the multiplayer if the other weapons were viable because using an assault rifle all the time is boring.

Are you sure there isnt some super loving broken SMG like there tends to be in every single call of duty game. Are you sure.

Probably PS4 or PC I can see having the biggest community for it right now with PS4 in a slight lead. I don't base this on any actual numbers because after loving with the Xbox one thread people I never want to see another actual chart ever again.

honestly i'd should buy this on console if you have the choice because I imagine it would feel a lot less like assault rifles are the only choice if you had to aim with a thumbstick

IS there some mission trying to be shocking and/or provocative like the Airport mission? Or is this poo poo just a stupid story about corporate funded warfare which metal gear did better?

I would enjoy COD better if they made their characters likeable or interesting

or had them run around naked for half the game.


Hideo Kojima please make a FPS...

After playing both Black Ops games they even made their futuristic missions appear really uninteresting.

Well if I'm going to invest 4 hours time in the entirety of the main campaign, it would be nice to have one play that's not always enforcing "HOW SERIOUS THE SITUATION IS DO YOU NOT REALIZE HOW SERIOUS THE SITUATION IS?" because the seriousness of the situation always gets repeated multiple times throughout call of duty. It's like if you're hiring the dude who wrote the script to traffic you shouldn't need lines like that to try and force the player to believe what is happening is serious.

It should just come naturally, like taking a big poo poo. And that's what real men do regularly.

It's scripted to loving hell and holds your hand all the way through. It's been 7 games now that they have done this. poo poo doesn't even branch off.

Their level design doesn't even exceed the parameters of the scripted areas, you maybe just have a texture plane of trees with nothing but an alpha channel keeping you from the eternal 3D void. Like if you could actually explore the areas you would come across a ton of dead space rather quickly.

Half Life 2 had larger more open areas than any of the recent CODs. The car level for Half Life 2 had more open spots to explore and more freedom given to the player as well. And we're talking about a game that was made before Call of Duty 3.

Seriously loving golden eye let you dick around with the tank on that level and you have Call of Duty given you a plane and you can't even control it. You're not even the one flying it, you're the guy who's painting the targets so the computer dude can shoot at it.

World at War didn't do vehicles right. They should have ripped a page from battlefield or Tribes.

Call of Duty has been really lazy in level design for many installments now. So yeah a more open area wouldn't work like battlefield or tribes because that would involve effort from the devs to put in more time instead of pumping out multiple installments each year.

I mean look at the size of a world like Just Cause 2's it's absolutely massive and they're able to have a coherent narrative to whatever story they want to tell. The game is also packed to hell with how much poo poo can explode. Yes it's an open world game, but more FPS should be open world instead of running down corridors for a few hours. It's not that big of a jump to put FPS mechanics in an Open world game since they're action based.

COD has been too obsessed with activision getting advertising dollars and it really shows when every mode the game offers is a stripped down version of what other games offer. That and Pro Major League gaming bullshit which is pathetic beyond all means.

You should not need to nerf poo poo in a first person shooter at all period.

I mean the devs put more effort into the campaign for Blood Dragon at Ubisoft than Activision does with COD.

And Blood Dragon began as a joke.
