Anybody playing or is COD dead to High Tech.
301212, I'd play the single player if they released it standalone

for like $15.
301213, COD's been dying since it started trying to be Halo

when COD 4 Modern Warfare dropped it was just that Modern Warfare. Real guns and maps inspired by real places. Halo was the leader in FPS's before this. All the crazy guns, vehicles, and massive maps. Also Halo has the jumping. The fucking annoying jumping. COD had none of that. But releasing a new game every year kind of fucked them. They needed new ideas for every game. So they slowly started going more Halo. They added the double jumps and exo boosts. Fuck all that. Give me modern warfare and not Halo.
301481, this explains why i lost interest

At the end of the day Call Of Duty was about you being a very specific kind of action hero. Not a space ninja like Titanfall, not gritty Star Ship trooper movie like Gears, not a hardened "ive seen things, and the only family I know are the men in my unit' soldier in Battlefield.

When COD is at it's best you're the hardened motherfucker smoking a cigarette, sniping bogeys at 100 meters smoothly transitioning into meticulously picking off 3 dudes that bumrush your room, to go save a couple of POW's. Perhaps call in a helicopter or five to rain down death on those badguys.

Its for that hilariously irresponsible era where war movies transitioned from 70's realism into 80's Arnold Schwarzenegger pop..COD had that perfect line of making war fun, for better or for worse.
301219, There's a reason why EA released TF2 a week before IW...

... and a week after BF1.

They wanted to occupy the playerbase for the upcoming COD release and it looks like they succeeded. Overwatch helped with this too.

It probably also doesn't help that Activision's insisted on the yearly release schedule for over a decade now. That's basically been their MO for their biggest hits.
301232, Im only playing the Remastered multiplayer.
Posted by KnowOne, Fri Dec-02-16 02:49 PM
have not even bothered touching Infinite Warfare.
301318, It would be nice to go back to basics

301497, I'm still playing on Xbox. Easily the worst COD since Ghosts
Posted by Lach, Sat Dec-31-16 06:30 PM
But with how busy I've been this fall it's given me that time to sit back and just recklessly kill. Not a great game but serves it's purpose. Really considering making the jump to Battlefield.
301632, I'm glad they added Tactical Team Deathmatch
Posted by muzuabo, Mon Jan-16-17 01:52 PM
Wish they would add it to the other game modes like Kill Confirmed.
301529, I feel like Infinity Ward just plagarized Black Ops 3
Posted by rorschach, Sat Jan-07-17 05:28 AM
It's almost as if Activision didn't want a repeat of Ghosts so they pushed Infinity Ward into making a COD that's like AW and BO3.

I only play this because COD is the FPS of choice for most of my friends.
301559, last COD i enjoyed was Ghosts...
Posted by My_SP1200_Broken_Again, Wed Jan-11-17 05:01 PM
....and that was comsidered WORST one at the time!!! ...downhill since!
301590, I did not like Ghosts at all
Posted by RobOne4, Fri Jan-13-17 02:01 PM
but I would still take it over the last versions. I might pick up the new one just for the Modern Warfare remake though.
301647, MWR is a lot of fun.. i've gotten worse over the years though...
Posted by My_SP1200_Broken_Again, Wed Jan-18-17 03:12 PM
...cant believe its been like 5 years or so since ive seen the names RobOneXL or MF Ande on my team
