Idk I really enjoyed the rollercoaster of fancy gadgets they shove in your face and how silly and over the top the campaign got, most fun I've had in a CoD campaign in a while
The campaign played out like a fun action movie which was all I was looking for
From what I can tell most of these complaints are complaints with Call Of Duty games in general, even the ones people like.
I'm still looking forward to playing this. Probably gonna pick it up when I get a PS4.
i played a friends copy and honestly it seems like CoD has finally got the message that they are not a serious shooting game at all anymore and have just tossed in a lot of fun silly shit into the game
good stoned fun but not something worth my $60
I honestly don't know anyone who buys CoD for the SP, people buy it for the MP.
[QUOTE]The problem I have is the de-gaming of the entire campaign. CoD as a series hasn’t really ever given players options, or really let them play. It is a chain of bombastic corridors in which you click on men’s faces until they fall over.[/QUOTE]
I haven't played a CoD game since 4, but this has literally been the CoD SP formula since 2003. "Cinematic" set pieces connected by a series of either a) sit and kill waves of enemies events or b) run through corridors killing enemies, while sometimes being given special goodies to do so. And honestly as far as I'm aware the series has never tried to hide that fact. It isn't open world, nor is it about ~emergent gameplay~, it's about power tripping through a popcorn Hollywood storyline in SP then jumping into MP and getting called names for the next several hundred hours. Complaining about CoD being linear is like going to beach and complaining that the ocean is too salty.

I never had any problems with any CoD single-player campaign?
Sure they are 6 hours long, and its a linear corner shooter. But that's obviously the direction they are going for ,and they are pretty good at it.

This.
Mainly the only reasons I don't get BO2 and this one.
Which is sad, because both seem to have a nice campaign and a somewhat playable multiplayer.
The price REALLY puts me off so, eh...

MW3's campaign was honestly increadibly boring.
I dunno, it just was. When I got to that castle you needed to assault during a downpour of rain, I just turned the game off and uninstalled it. As if the drugs I would be on suddenly wore off completely.
On the other side, I quite liked MW2's campaign.

That and Spec Ops made a fantastic experience. I just don't get the same spark from Black Ops.
Just finished the campaign myself. The first half is typical Call of Duty moving forward and shooting target dummies linearity broken up by setpiece moments. The second half though opens up a lot more and the game starts throwing cool shit at you, like a grappling hook.

Even the first half is pretty cool. Mute charges were super fun.

I bought CoD4 for singleplayer since I had heard it was actually pretty good. The MP also sucked away many hours.

I am conflicted on MW2.
I like the blockbuster action movie feel, but I liked CoD4 for feeling more down to earth. Rather ironic since that's the one where [sp]a nuke blows up in your face[/sp]

Now I feel like replaying CoD4.

Not me. I hated CoD MP ever since they added kill-streaks.
[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;46410634]Not me. I hated CoD MP ever since they added kill-streaks.[/QUOTE]
So you've hated 3/4ths of the series? That's kind of stupid. Ones like MW2 i can understand, with the annoying AC130 and nukes but CoD4 did killstreaks pretty amazingly imo.

[quote]I’ve been reading a few reviews of the latest Call of Duty whilst trundling through the new game, and I’m absolutely baffled. Generally, the reception is ‘quite positive’. A few sites have said it’s the best campaign in years.
[B]
That’s so not true. I think it’s probably the worst CoD has ever been.[/B][/quote]
Okay, cool? I mean, i know you're entitled to your own opinion but this is the first CoD with an overwhelmingly positive reception and you just look like you're being a negative dick just to be a negative dick. Also i don't get why he's surprised, this has literally been CoD since 4 when they stopped focusing mostly on the SP.
CoD campaigns are like action movies, short with some nice set-pieces, fun to watch but I wouldn't spend my money on it.
[quote]In the last few months, I went back and played Half-Life 2, Episode 1, and Episode 2. What struck me about those games is just how refined their mechanics are, and how long they’re allowed to develop.[/quote]
The thing I loved about HL2 is when you are introduced to a new game mechanic you got a whole level(or several) dedicated to it. Like when you got the gravity gun you end up in Ravenholm shooting spears and saw at zombies and stuff. Nothing is a a quick gimmick, you need to learn how to use those to progress further.

CoD4's singleplayer was a commentary on [B]AMERICA! FUCK YEAH[/B] attitude by showing how badly they fuck up and need the British special forces to clean up their mess. MW2 played [B]AMERICA! FUCK YEAH[/B] completely straight.
And I love it.
Even only about half of MW2 is AMERICA FUCK YEAH, it's still British special forces saving the day. From an American no less.
this is the first CoD campaign in a while that i've enjoyed. there's no way CoD can go back to boring modern warfare combat, they really need to push it to full sci-fi and keep these fun as hell suits.

Black Ops 3 can totally be "Oh well the prototypes for the exo-suits were around in the late 80s so here's some clunky ones, but by the future mission in 20XX you have full on exo-suits."

Is it bad I imagined Half-Life 2 directed by Micheal Bay with CoD gameplay.

The modern setting is fine, but they do it in the most boring goddamn way possible. MW1 and 2 were fine imo, but 3 and ghosts were just boring and dull as hell.

Oh man running around through the dark streets after the EMP was cool as fuck.
The only part I didn't like was the favela. Too many tight corners.

Spec Ops was pretty dope aswell.
Still remember that mission where you had to stealth kill a bunch of enemies in a snowy forest.
Hell, I even enjoyed the multiplayer. It was flawed, and it didn't get what it should have had in the first place (dedicated servers), but I absolutely loved it. I liked it so much I actually got Sitrep Pro. Hearing footsteps from far away was fucking OP.

Favela on Veteran gave me PTSD.
Call of duty can go suck itself off.
Seriously, these games shouldn't even be relevant anymore.
They have 13 games for fuck sakes. Make something else.
"your experiences with this game are wrong"
Get fucked, m8
I'm not adoring (but not dreading either) the AW campaign, but you don't see me telling people they're wrong about their fucking feelings on the game.
But yeah, Advanced Warfare feels like a (para)military campaign set in the Mission Impossible universe.
The wait for Treyarch's next entry grows ever more painful.

It was a lot of fun and had a lot of diversity, but my god storywise it was the absolute worst game I have played in my entire life.
It felt like I wrote the story back when I was a child playing with my toy cars and tanks, throwing them around while moving my hands around in weird hypnotic ways to make myself belive that
something just blew up.
