[QUOTE=ElectronicG19;30835884]How does that make my point any less valid?[/QUOTE] Why does it have to be a complete and totally different game to be fun? They add new weapons, new perks, new maps, new killstreaks, hell even new gamemodes. I think the point is to have fun. Not bitch and moan about how it looks kinda like its predecessor.
[QUOTE=ElectronicG19;30835884]How does that make my point any less valid?[/QUOTE] The games obviously bring nothing to the table because millions of people buy it and love it, and play it for hours on end.
iirc kotaku leaked that killstreaks work as a team now, instead of individuals gaining kills and being rewarded. The killstreaks are more like perks. One of which being that, with enough kills, the whole team gaining regen health (yes, this means at the start of the game you DON'T have regen). They also stated nukes would not return.
Alright I'm done arguing, you can play and enjoy it if you want, it's your opinion. My point is why bother buying it year after year if you're paying for basically the same game?

It all depends how you look at the game. The core gameplay doesn't change at all every year, but the dev team swaps around a lot of aspects of the game with each installment. Say what you want, but Black Ops is significantly different than CoD4 when it comes to perks, weapons, setting, character cosmetics. Even the level layout and gamemodes change: MW2's levels hold very few open spaces while BO champions them; Hardcore BO uses a much more punishing regen system than CoD4. If you put BO and CoD4 back to back and ask "how does the core gameplay change?" the answer is going to be, "very little."
A decent system would be that, once a team reaches 50 percent of the max score they get to decide between 2 random killstreaks, if it's playered controlled a random player on that team gets it. It only goes to whatever team reaches 50% first though.
I personally started hating call of duty after activision started butting in and screwing things up. The matchmaking system in MW2 was a mistake, there's no arguing it. It was unquestionably inferior to the dedicated server system traditionally used on PC games, and fixed none of the problems they claimed it would address. Hacking and other forms of cheating went through the roof because there were no administrators to kick cheating players, and no votekick system either. Not only that, but because of the listen server system, random people playing the game had to be selected to be the host, and you would have to wait through a lengthy reconnection process while the game found a new host if the current host decided to quit. I would occasionally get selected to be host even though this was not supposed to happen because I had a slow upload speed at the time and the game is only supposed to select people who are capable of hosting to host, and would have to deal with all of the other players who were irate at the fact that I was "ruining the game for them". I hear that there are dedicated servers in black ops, but that they are subpar and must be rented from activision. Until they quit screwing around with this shit, I'm just going to stick to battlefield. Maybe respawn entertainment's new product will be worth looking into, considering the fact that respawn is made up of the original infinity ward members who left after activision started shitting all over them. So, /endrant, that's why I hate call of duty. I have not bought a game after modern warfare 2, and until I am sure that I will not be fooled twice, won't be buying any other call of duty games, including modern warfare 3.
My guess on the new system is that when you get 3 kills or so, you can either get killstreak A, B, or C by chance. If you got A, then when you get your next killstreak, it could be D, E, or F. But if got B for example, your next killstreak could be G, H, or I. Even though I don't play the COD games, I think they need a bit of luck and chance.
I like how "killstreaks" are in MoH, encouraging you to do objectives in exchange for something that helps your team.

Climbing buildings, killing people. But I really enjoy that type of gameplay so slight variations are something I'm going to like. Huge sweeping gameplay changes for the sake of change is a bad idea, especially for a game that sells so many copies and appeals to so many already. Don't fix it if it's not broken.

Oh wait, its Activision, they'll milk it as much as they can.
Because of this, it will cost 10 extra dollars.
I really don't think this is newsworthy. There's no details it's just informing us that there will be news about Call of Duty in the future.
I'm getting tired of CoD as well, after loving the games for 3 or 4 years. When CoD stopped being about playing a grunt, and became playing a SpecOps, that's when the series really started to fall apart imo.

[QUOTE=meatballfish;30835707]I don't get why you guys are so harsh on the CoD series. You're just a bunch of hipsters about it really. "I don't like it because it's popular." Hell, you're like /v/ about anything that isn't a JRPG apparently, i'm dumb because I have my own taste in games. Go click on my steam profile, look at my games.[/QUOTE] "Everyone at schools plays it and I hate everyone at school"
Probably have to pay 30 cents to unlock a killstreak.

I'll believe it when I see it.
".99$ and YOU START with 1 killstreak for the match, prices vary on higher killstreaks" I figured it out.
each killstreak only 15.99!
[QUOTE=ElectronicG19;30835783]It's the same game rehashed year after year. Since Call of Duty 4, at least. Call of Duty 4 was the last good one. The games bring nothing to the table.[/QUOTE] what do you want from them? God damn stop complaining, people are okay with Assassin's Creed doing the same thing because they like the game, the only reason you guys complain and cry about COD is because you dislike the game in general, not even the gameplay, you just abandon logic and baselessy, illogically hate it.

Wish I could get MW3, some of the stuff they're doing with the game sounds quite interesting, sadly though there is a line up of other games I want to get.
[QUOTE=thisispain;30835814]everyone who say they won't buy it buy it anyway[/QUOTE] I didn't buy World at War or Black Ops :smile:
A little off-topic, but just as an FYI, Call of Duty Elite is Activision's response to realizing that Microsoft makes a lot of money off LIVE. Kotick wanted to tap into that subscription service but he didn't know how. Also what Activision is doing isn't nearly as bad as the shit EA pulls. Has anyone else noticed nearly everything with BC2 and BF3 is a direct response to whatever Activision is doing with CoD?
[QUOTE=locojaws;30836317]To have effort[/QUOTE] Who cares about effort when they have a formula that works and is entertaining, they don't need to totally change the game just for the sake of it. They do have effort, MW2 had much effort using real sources from the military and spending millions on the production and development on it. They put effort in all of these games, more effort than most developers would do.
