[QUOTE=Cooldudex;30122670]It's because Call of Duty is the stupidest game ever, yet it's the most popular.[/QUOTE] so you're saying a game developer should stop making money off a franchise because you think it's stupid? lol
"LOL PLEASE BAN THIS CAUSE I HATE COD" This is childish.
[QUOTE=sa2fan;30132920]"LOL PLEASE BAN THIS CAUSE I HATE COD" This is childish.[/QUOTE] Ever heard of sarcasm?
[QUOTE=minicunga;30116947]Good, I hope it is. We don't want that thing over here.[/QUOTE] So because a game is bad you approve of censorship? That's stupid, for example the censorship in Australia/Germany for video games is stupid, sure a good majority of those games are shit doesn't mean you should approve of censorship because a game is bad.
As much as i hate what's happened to the CoD franchise over the years i have to agree this is fucking retarded.
I have a feeling if CoD was less popular, you guys would like it a lot more. Fucking hipsters.
And nothing of value was lost.
[QUOTE=SoaringScout;30133160]Ever heard of sarcasm?[/QUOTE] No one in this thread is saying that in a sarcastic way at all. The people saying it appear to be deadly serious.
[QUOTE=Zally13;30135984]I have a feeling if CoD was less popular, you guys would like it a lot more. Fucking hipsters.[/QUOTE] Not really, we would like cod(mw2,blops...) if they were released in 1998 or something. This is 2011, get original people.
[QUOTE=johan_sm;30139022]Not really, we would like cod(mw2,blops...) if they were released in 1998 or something. This is 2011, get original people.[/QUOTE] I see it as a game of snooker, if they were to change the way it works, we wouldn't like that now would we? COD is COD
[QUOTE=Randdalf;30122876]Anyone disagreeing with banning Call of Duty (the worst "popular" game there is) has no taste in games.[/QUOTE] Because if a game is bad by your standard, it should be banned. This shouldn't be about whether it's good or not, it shouldn't be banned because censorship is fundamentally wrong. Honestly in any other people were supporting any other form of entertainment they wouldn't split apart into dumb factions like this and it shows that games have a hell of a long way to go before they're considered as legitimate an entertainment as movies or whatever else by gamers, never mind the rest of the world.
boo hoo i dont like call of duty ban it you have the same mindset of these fucking nutjobs
I don't see why you guys want this banned. Sure, I dislike call of duty just like the rest of the bandwagon, but banning isn't the answer. Banning games is a slippery slope, whether it begins with good intentions or not. And besides, this is just the government freaking out that a game with guns in it has a level in London
On one hand, it's fucking STUPID to ban a video game just because it contains a scene of terrorism inside of your counry, but on the other hand, it'd be so great if Activision lost the UK's sales of MW3 and the series just fucking died already I guess I don't want it to be banned, but secretly, I do [editline]30th May 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Zally13;30135984]I have a feeling if CoD was less popular, you guys would like it a lot more.

If only it was my country. Millions of lives would be spared.

You don't change a game completely in a series. Half-Life doesn't do it, Counter-Strike doesn't, Medal of Honor didn't, hell, even Battlefield doesn't do it. People buy CoD for CoD, not something else. Just don't buy CoD, and buy a different game, instead of hating a series for making more of the same (which is what their customers want, judging by them voting with their dollar).
[QUOTE=Zally13;30135984]I have a feeling if CoD was less popular, you guys would like it a lot more. Fucking hipsters.[/QUOTE] HOMG YOU DON'T LIKE THE SAME GAMES I LIKE FUCKING HIPSTER!!
[QUOTE=Lizzrd;30145145]HOMG YOU DON'T LIKE THE SAME GAMES I LIKE FUCKING HIPSTER!![/QUOTE] Because that's exactly what he meant.
No, he was saying that if CoD was less popular, every single one on FP would enjoy it.
[QUOTE=Lizzrd;30145236]No, he was saying that if CoD was less popular, every single one on FP would enjoy it.[/QUOTE] No, he said "you guys would like it a lot more." I would have said "you guys would not hate it as much."
Okay, thanks for telling me, now I know. But yeah, this will likely be a fun game, although not a particularly good game.
[QUOTE=lulzbocksV2;30145383]No, he said "you guys would like it a lot more." I would have said "you guys would not hate it as much."[/QUOTE] It was meant more as a joke, I guess sarcasm can't be picked up off the internet, though. :smith:
One day you'll be calling people hipsters sarcasticly, the other day you'll be a hipster yourself. It is a dangerous route you are on, my friend.
But I like CoD :frown:
[QUOTE=Lizzrd;30145809]One day you'll be calling people hipsters sarcasticly, the other day you'll be a hipster yourself. It is a dangerous route you are on, my friend.[/QUOTE] Nah, hipsters are too mainstream.
Look, I know it's MW3, and we all know what a steaming pile of shit it will be. But, I honestly believe that this game, or any other video game, shouldn't be banned, at all. Here come the boxes and Xs, but it's only a fucking video game. Banning it would just be useless and only a waste of time. [editline]30th May 2011[/editline] Except E.T.
Facepunch's mindset: [i]I don't like the game so therefore no one else should play or enjoy it.[/i] Even if I dislike or hate certain books, movies or games I don't call for them to be banned based on opinions. If Modern Warfare 3 does contain such disturbing content I hope it just passes through the UK untouched with a filter option (as with Modern Warfare 2).
