All of these fps, many of them with other tags as well but all of them are fps and almost all as solid and all of them more complete CoD(at least based on the notion that all there is to cod is shooting people and occasionally capturing an objective on the less popular game modes)
It was absolutely insane that they decided to do it this way in the first place. It wasn’t perfect before, but at least having multiple teams on rotation gave them some time to cook their own game.
But now Treyarch had to help with vanguard zombies (and also mw zombies I think?) while developing their own game, while also developing their own game for the next year
I’ve enjoyed playing cod since I was a kid but this shit has been a clown fest for years now
Problem is, Treyarch were the only competent studio after all of IW left. So they have been constantly called in to help to clean up the mess the other studios keep making.
Now development on the games is split across Activision studios all over the world, so the chance of there ever being a coherent self contained experience again is basically zero. Their scope got too big and they couldnt find the right people to take it on.
The new MW3 was literally just an expansion pack for the new MW2 sold for full price.
Same as BO6/7. People are only willing to be milked so much. It’s why when people say what their favorite CoD is, the oldest game mentioned is Black Ops 2
Depends what generation you ask, because a lot of the CoD audience now, never even played Black Ops 2. Which I agree, was the last good game, I'll give credit to BO3 for it's amazing zombies experience, with mod tools on PC, which was a surprise.
"“We will drive innovation that is meaningful, not incremental.”
Gotcha, so same time next year? What do you mean innovate? I played BO6’s campaign because it was free and I said fuck it why not, and it was clear to me that the devs would rather do anything else than a CoD campaign.
You can’t really innovate, CoD is creatively bankrupt it has been for years, are you going to go back to WW2 again?
Remember the "Call of Duty games are DLC" jokes? Well that is literally what they have become. There's no soul in them anymore. They are just a vessel to sell skins.
I saw it had robots and shit and noped out of even thinking about buying it.
I can’t keep up with what the current cod game is, they’re wannabee super hero babes games which bear zero resemblance to the original games. It’s a characature at this point.
I just think the game looks and plays bad. I’m clearly not the target demographic, but the older COD games I grew up with are a completely different tone/style/game to the modern arcade shooters.
I said I noped out of it, not that everyone should.
Here lies the problem: A lot of FPS players literally only want ONE fucking tone for EVERY FPS, which is like. Serious-looking milsim appearance that takes place in the present day. That’s it. They’ll literally attack any futuristic game as “it’s a mobile game” and “not realistic”, as if that should be the only thing that dictates if an FPS is good or not. I for one am tired of it, especially considering most of the people who are extremely anal about that are either chuds or fascists who want to roleplay as a super soldier fighting for the good ol’ US of A. So when people constantly talk about how “ah this thing has robots I don’t want to play it” it immediately triggers that suspicion in me.
Not to mention, this whole obsession with “realism” to me is absolutely stupid. I don’t need to see literally every pore on an old man’s face for my game to feel good. Hell, you have games like Hades II, Silksong, MOTHER 3, and a fuckton of other games that are just extremely good that none of those people try because they’re not realistic.
MW3 was the one where Russia invades the US, right? That one was good. I think the next one, BO2, was the last one I played. After that, they really fell into the rut of minor iteration.
I might get around to playing some of the others that aren’t in the “high tech” genre. Apparently there was one set during Desert Storm.
Infinite warfare was great, at least the story mode: they went completely off the rails and let you choose where your spaceship goes for the next mission
The new games aren’t all bad for the campaigns. MW2019 was pretty good and Black Ops 6 had a really fun campaign, it had a pretty good story too at least til the end.
Well yeah but the same thing applies regardless. Every time CoD tried to “innovate”, outside of Black Ops 2, resulted in players complaining endlessly and/or poor sales. And I say this as someone who HATES milsim obsessed manchildren who demand every FPS franchise cater to them, despite most of them already doing it. Those mfs will straight up say anything futuristic “looks like a mobile game” as if we can’t look past their buzzwords. I blame their bullshit for the failure of Titanfall 2 and CoD Infinite Warfare, which did have an EXCELLENT campaign. But, regardless of that: FPS players don’t want their favorite game to change too much in terms of raw gameplay. This has been a thing you can observe for decades. Hell, people still play Dust 2 the almost exact same way as in 2001.
