could the community not make a better (also cheaper) call of duty game than activsion? - Games

not sure if this is the right place to post this, but i realy dont want people to buy games of of such an asshole publisher, they dont deserve a cent/penny/whatever currency you kids use nowadays. now surely the mod community could make a better, cheaper,longer lasting and mod-able game? (and it could be named after another fish, like trout, or salmon) now i am not asking much, just a cod like gameplay multiplayer [b]things that do matter[/b] ironsights recharging health sprinting two weapons overpowered mellee classes nades prone,duck, and all the odd animations cod has [b]things that dont matter[/b] (at least initialy) custom classes custom weapons kill streaks perks crappy storylines ranks lots of guns that are exactly the same with different models angry 11 year olds moronic amount of trash talk bad voice acting/stereotypes middle eastern's or Russians [b] more details [/b] now, i can map (with source,hell- lets use source because of its easiness to mod ) and i believe i could do a fair reskin, but other than that i am useless. i dont think this will be as hard as people think, i estimate this could be done with less than 15 custom models im not a coder, but all that needs to be done is getting player movement correct, weapons working and a basic class system mapping is simple, and current source maps would work well with only tiny modifications of course, the game can get more complicated as time goes on, but for starters it seems realy simple

This is stupid. A Call of Duty game isn't as simple to make as a Sonic game.

I'm sure they can, but it will probably wear out sooner or later. All of these modern warfare games seem to be exactly the same thing and get boring real quick. I mean come on, there's MW2, BC2, MOH2010... It's all the same thing. Not to mention that two of them are made by the same people and one is a ruined franchise. I'm sure if it was good enough, had continual support, and a great mod community, it would last long.

Regardless of your opinion on MW2. That game is fucking quality. No indie team of ragtag devs can replicate a game like that.

No.

a good FPS game needs 1 primary/1pistol grenades/flashbangs crouch balanced maps

[QUOTE=The_Newb2;25652282]a good FPS game needs 1 primary/1pistol (Doesn't need this format) grenades/flashbangs (Flashbangs = fucking annoying) crouch (Fuck it, this is too generic) balanced maps (It is a tradition in FPSs to make one team more powerful, we don't want change)[/QUOTE]

its called Vietcong/medal of honor + Tactical BS

They could... Where do you think Counter Strike, and Day of Defeat came from? Red Orchestra? Killing Floor? All mods that a few guys in a community put together and have become large big names... I don't see why it couldn't happen again. Although now-days it's less about Fun Modding and more about Fun to make money by modding

If you tweak the health, damage response times etc in insurgency, COD gameplay pretty much

Blacklight:Tango down tried. And failed

cmon, surely this would work, its not like a mod team cant equal the half assed work that activision's bitches do!

i doubt it, call of duty is a really good game despite what all the bandwagoners and valve sheep say

but sureley it would be insanely easy to replicate! (at least all the stuff in call of duty 2, stuff from later games after that might be hard) and i liked cod

[QUOTE=jack254;25651958] [b]things that do matter[/b] recharging health overpowered mellee [/QUOTE] What the fuck, those things make the game worse.

Also, the community doesn't know jack shit about making a good game. The community PLAYS the games.

[QUOTE=Maximo13;25675166]Also, the community doesn't know jack shit about making a good game. The community PLAYS the games.[/QUOTE] uh the community would know what they want in games

Step One: Get source code of MW1 Step Two: Update a few models and add maybe 3 weapons Step Three: You've created the next CoD!

OP you can be the ideas guy, every project needs one. [editline]27th October 2010[/editline] Another thing that community need is a proper grammar. Calo f Dytu: Muddern Wurfar 3 - Comunnitu Viersiun

anyone can make a better CoD then activsion, because they don't make the games.

[QUOTE=UnidentifiedFlyingTard;25675610]anyone can make a better CoD then activsion, because they don't make the games.[/QUOTE] notice how i say activision's bitches but seriously 1: grab a version of the source engine (cause its so easy to mod) 2: make the controls and gameplay similar to cod (2?-----4 was ok but its harder to reproduce) (only the gameplay, no shity story or anything) 4: make a few custom models, alter some maps 5: profit 6: release the game, for free 7: listen to community 8: update game 3: make some custom models

[QUOTE=A Box;25675332]uh the community would know what they want in games[/QUOTE] No, they community NEVER knows what they want. You add what they want, deemed overpowered, add next thing, rinse and repeat.

In terms of gameplay(not balance), Modern Warfare 2 is extremely polished and feels well made in every aspect. It's kinda hard for the community to make a replica of it to be honest.

Step 1. Get source code Step 2. Remove kill-streak rewards And it'll be a whole lot better.

[QUOTE=Take_Opal;25652111]Regardless of your opinion on MW2. That game is fucking quality. No indie team of ragtag devs can replicate a game like that.[/QUOTE] I sincerely hope no rag tag team of devs does, it's a piece of shit parading as a quality game. I'd rather rag tag teams of devs kept making games like Red Orchestra thanks.

It doesn't matter if your like it or not, you have to admit it is a game that has been put quite a lot of time into.

I don't WANT to support Activision, but Call of Duty is pretty fun and well made, and I'm not about to avoid a good game just because I'm slightly pissed off by the publishers.
