uhN0id, do games w MODERN WARFARE: How Call of Duty 4 Changed a Genre Forever

When this game came out I hated it because I loved the original Call of Duty games that were super slow paced and more realistic. But eventually it became my main game playing till 4am on Xbox with friends. I miss the simplicity of COD MW.

dogslayeggs,

While I preferred MW2 to MW, I still really liked MW and thought it was better than all others besides MW2. I just got really good at cheesing certain class combos in MW2, which was the only way for me to be good at those games. I’m only OK at FPS games and was able to make use of things like the riot shield for holding points or heartbeat sensor and reload perks for C4 to get good K/D ratios. In MW I got a decent percentage of my kills from Danger Close because I died a lot, and goddamn that was a funny way to kill someone. I also felt MW2 was less sniper-friendly, and I suck both as a sniper and against snipers.

Zannsolo,

The original Call of Duty was my favorite. I didn’t have a good computer so I played it at a LAN center for a good while. The game also kicked off a domino of events in my friends life when I gave him a CD key for it.

My friend got pretty good at the game and joined a competitive CAL-M team, and even played at a CPL championship tournament. Well after he graduated college one of the people he played with on the team and he started a company making websites. When he told me what he was doing, I told him just don’t blow too much money on it.

They ended up pivoting from their original plan of making fitness blog sites, among other niche sites they felt could generate ad revenue to making flash game sites.

They did moderately well in their endeavors and scored some high ranking search results for a few categories of flash games. They were making hundreds of thousands each and he moved to another to save on income tax. In the new state he met a woman and they ended up getting married, so I was able to draw a direct path from me giving him a CD key for cod to him getting moderately wealthy and finding a wife.

Unfortunately the last domino hasn’t fallen, and it turned out she was a lieing, money grubbing, cheating whore. Flash games died out but my friend moved on to other things. He is doing great, happily remarried and we both had our first kid within about a month of each other.

Summzashi,

Call of duty was never super slow paced. You must be confused with Operation Flashpoint or the likes.

uhN0id,

Maybe not super slow paced like Squad but super slow paced compared to today’s COD.

Back when you’d hold positions and provide cover fire while someone would slowly push up or flank etc. It was a much different game before MW released.

I used to play this at gaming cafes in the early/mid 2000s with my buddies before we all had proper gaming computers alongside Battlefield 1942. Definitely not confusing it for Operation Flashpoint haha.

I'll wait for its release and read the reviews, assuming they don't screw it up like they did with Battlefront, 15 bucks is a fair price

Google translate says it means ‘Planetary Defense Cannon Commander’.

Cel słuszny i szlachetny, tylko, że Polska lewica to prawie margines polityki. Większość Polaków nawet nie rozpoznaje za bardzo polityków lewicy, pomijająć ogólny sentyment “lewica bad”.

noriban,

Widzę że jeżeli chodzi o lewicę jako pogląd to mamy dużo osób lewicowych, ale nie głosują na partię lewica dlatego że ludzie się boją, głosują strategicznie (xd) albo lewica ma swoje wady

I don’t see the point of doing a remaster of a remaster. This game needs a proper remake. As a big fan of the original game who played the heck out of its original X360 release, without an update to its outdated AI it’s frustrating to the point of unplayability.

This looks really promising. I’m interested to see what QoL changes are coming for this cycle.

Cannot wait for this, I wishlisted it immediately when I first saw a post about it over the weekend.

Ugh, I know the games are divisive, but for me they really did not work at all. I can’t even truly say why. They were below-expectations, yeah, but not terribly so. Just didn’t connect.

I got the same issue with FF16, tbh. While FFX worked for me (even though I’m weird, and think FFX-2 is better 😅).

Semjaza,

FFX-2 has a great battle system, and job based FFs were always the most rewarding to play.

XIII was the point I just decided I didn’t care any more. (Also, there’s no way that XIII gets to count as retro already, right?)

Nah, it’s not that old.

looks it up

Fuuuuuck I’m old! 😭

Katana314,

Which, in a way, makes it weird that I’ve felt okay with FFXIV. It’s a very different form of satisfaction to its gameplay.

FF13 is retro?

Katana314,

Welcome to getting old.

Looks like the average German alternative sarcastic TV sci-fi show. Has strong vibes of Ijon Tichy including that strange but somehow attractive woman.
