[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;34637333]That would be the only selling point because everything else is the same shit[/QUOTE] My point remains valid. Call of Duty is extremely fun when you get to actually work together with friends to complete objectives. MW2 and MW3 did an okay job with this, but I would've liked campaign co-op as well as maybe 4 players. WaW was great in that compartment. Campaign co-op and a survival mode (although that was zombies.) If they want me to buy this next CoD, it'd have to have all of the following: - WaW-like Campaign Co-op - WaW/Black Ops Zombie Survival - MW3-like Survival, supporting up to 4 players - MW2/MW3-like Co-Op Missions, supporting 2-4 players Man, that might actually make the 60 dollar pricetag justified for once.
[QUOTE=Squad;34634998]I bet the innovation will be adding vehicles... And conquest modes and... wait a second... They are making Call of Duty: Battlefield next![/QUOTE] why would they do that when MW3 outsold BF3

The big innovation: Laser pointer attachment along with the option of slapping as many attachments as you want on your guns, including but not limited to 6 laser pointers, 5 ACOG scopes, 25 magazines sticky-taped together, over 500 stickers of skulls and naked women and a silencer as long as the gun itself all at one time! You can also quadruple-wield all guns in the game, make summersaults when you press the jump key twice and if you pre-purchase you get the ultimate 3-kill killstreak "#1 on the leaderboard and unlock everything"! And pre-purchasing is only $599.99 every week! I just hope they'll go back to CoD4 times where the killstreaks were fixed and there wasn't a magic whiz gun that destroyed everything.
[QUOTE=Governor Goblin;34637534]How the fuck did you come to that conclusion? What does mass effect have to do with anything?[/quote] It was a random game in which the story was thick and interesting. As to where Black Ops was historical fiction. I mean, all the COD games are like that, I'm not saying the story was shit or anything, and yes in comparison to other COD games the story was pretty cool. I just don't think it has a 'great' story, especially when there are other games like Dragon Age or Skyrim available. The writers for games like those have to create an entire world, the people, the places, folk lore and other things to make it seem more realistic. Cod takes things that have already been done and places a character in them, and from there will have story. I'm not saying Cod is good or bad, I'm just saying the story isn't anything compared to some other modern games that created an entire universe or earth.

The next CoD will take place in space in the year 2152. Calling it.
[QUOTE=Werem00se;34638173]It was a random game in which the story was thick and interesting.[/quote] And so is Call of Duty. [quote]As to where Black Ops was historical fiction.[/quote] So? [quote]I mean, all the COD games are like that[/quote] No they're not. [quote]I'm not saying the story was shit or anything, and yes in comparison to other COD games the story was pretty cool.

Skyrim exists so therefore Call of Duty has a mediocre story? I do not understand in anyway how that makes sense. You DO realise those are two completly different things, right? [quote]I'm not saying Cod is good or bad, I'm just saying the story isn't anything compared to some other modern games that created an entire universe or earth.[/QUOTE] Uh, yeah, it can be. Just because it isn't an elaborate RPG with several hundred hours of gameplay, doesn't mean it can't have a good story. Even then, having a large world doesn't mean the story was good. Metro2033 was a linear game, but had an absolutely beautiful and poetic story. You're kinda an idiot if you think you need to be elaborate to be meaningful.
pfft it's probably going to just be the same as the last one but with new maps and jets and you'll have to launch it from a website
Gonna play the single player if its treyarch. [editline]10th February 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Zeke129;34638430]pfft it's probably going to just be the same as the last one but with new maps and jets and you'll have to launch it from a website[/QUOTE] Bf3 is a massive improvment in most aspects
[QUOTE=Sickle;34638435] Bf3 is a massive improvment in most aspects[/QUOTE] And a downgrade in a lot of aspects.
[QUOTE=Sickle;34638435]Bf3 is a massive improvment in most aspects[/QUOTE] feels like bc2 to me, but i haven't gotten to play it all that much anyway this isn't a bf3 thread so calm your nipples
CoD9? Holy shit.
[QUOTE=Squad;34634998]I bet the innovation will be adding vehicles... And conquest modes and... wait a second... They are making Call of Duty: Battlefield next![/QUOTE] They did that in COD:UO. AND MY GOD IT WAS AMAZING. Not so sure bout now.
[QUOTE=garychencool;34638661]CoD9? Holy shit.[/QUOTE] Eh, series always extend that far. Battlefield has 20 different games. Fallout has 5, Assassins creed has 6 currently with 2 more planned, Halo has 5 games with one planned, GTA has like 6 with one planned. All of these are great game series, but they have a lot of them. [editline]10th February 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=shian;34638788]They did that in COD:UO. AND MY GOD IT WAS AMAZING. Not so sure bout now.[/QUOTE] You're forgetting they did it in WaW and Cod3 as well
[QUOTE=Ghostwork;34637837]could you be more specific? i don't really understand why playing in flashbacks in particular is horrible or what you didn't like about the number codes. was it because they were so incessantly repeated? i can see how their use would irk someone, but it is justified in regard to the story.[/QUOTE] Playing in a flashback gives this feeling of... of that everything has already happened and you're just going through it once again. Anything you do seems so meaningless, while in other CoD games you get the feeling that you're about the write history. Also the flashbacks often felt like they tried to put you in as many countries and places as they possibly could in a single game. Kind of like MW3 This is just my opinion about it though, besides the flashbacks I also simply didn't like the whole story

It's not for everyone, but I appreciate it.
[QUOTE=UberMunchkin;34635127]Then it fails, as millions of teenagers don't beg their parents to buy it as they think it's shit. Activision then lose most of their stocks due to the negative reception from a lot of pre-pubescant children that dislike the game. Soon Activision is declared bankrupt.[/QUOTE] A bit optimistic there my dear. Need I remind you that BF3 sold very well with the COD crowd? I see living proof of it every time I play. Snipers and Rambos everywhere.
[QUOTE=Governor Goblin;34638415]And so is Call of Duty.[/quote] Is that a joke? [quote]Okay, you've lost me. Skyrim exists so therefore Call of Duty has a mediocre story? I do not understand in anyway how that makes sense. You DO realise those are two completly different things, right?[/quote] They have a mediocre story. There's a reason why everyone generally accepts that the singleplayer isn't why you'd buy the game. Other things having better stories isn't why it has a mediocre story, it having a mediocre story is why it has one, and those other games just help highlight that fact.
i wish we could have a cod threads where bf3 wasn't brought up they're two completely different kinds of firstperson shooters. cod is all about nonstop action crazy unrealistic fast-paced action, bf3 is slower-paced, more 'realistic' and cooperative i seriously hate this whole cod vs bf shit

At this point I might as well compare Call of Duty to chocolate and sex to talk about how bad it is.
black ops had the best storyline out of any cod game treyarch makes the most creative cods
[QUOTE=CakeMaster7;34639205]Is that a joke?[/quote] Brilliant refutation. [quote]They have a mediocre story.

I'm a person who doesn't enjoy stories unless they capture my attention, and the characters, presentation, and style is very good. I personally enjoyed it As for people not buying it for the story? That doesn't mean it isn't good, just
Most people, for some fucking reason, buy Call of Duty games for the multiplayer. When that's the main portion of the CoD series that is considered to be the same every single release.

Why..

The story just seems like filler content justifying the action. Now in my case, I like story in my games. I like deep interesting story that makes me think or in general just more of a real story than CoD provides, which is partly why I am not a big CoD fan.
Only brown and gray shooter I've ever bought was bc2 and good lord. Never again. I say let the people who actually enjoy these games buy them over and over again. I'll stick to things that won't have a sequel in a few weeks.
I bet I'm going to get rated down, but I actually really liked Call Of Duty: Black Ops. Yes, COD games aren't really innovative and are a bit of a cash cow, but they're genuinely fun games. Battlefield 3 is awesome, I own it on PC/Origin and it's a fantastic game, however, when you're bored and just want to relieve some stress/kick some ass then it's much easier to just log on to Steam, double click COD and get in some fun action arcade FPS gameplay without too much pressure on teamwork/strategy. If you don't take COD games too seriously, and treat them more as a 'arcade' game than a real-life simulator shooter kind-of game (Like Battlefield 3/ARMA) then it can be really fun.
