Call of Duty series has always been a joy to play with. The single player is always intense and gripping and the multiplayer always keeps everybody busy for months. Now with the latest edition, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, the combat has moved to present time (As compared to World War, in the last three Call of Duty games). This game is simply amazing, once you notice every single detail about the game, you will realise that it really is FPS of the Decade. Simply wow. But then again, its not perfect. There are some things that Infinity Ward can improve on for their next COD. The graphics are truly next gen, the sound is unlike you have ever heard before and well, everything else is top notch. This game is near perfect, but not completely, so I will talk about few things that IW can improve on. Allow guests to play online (Like Halo 3 and Gears of War), on split screen you can only play on 9 (out of 16) maps. There is no co-op mode, and the single player is on the short side. But these little hiccups shouldn't stop anyone from buying this mind bending game. Its really how every FPS should be. IW, we all salute you.
FPS (First Person Shooters) have become a staple of a gamer's healthy diet. But where did it all begin?
The minimal effort of any genre is being FPV. And shooter is even less. As example COD, Skyrim, Destiny etc. They are pure casual and flat. Of course there are exception like Doom and Bioshock. But in general not as decent.
It became the default and began to foster safety and laziness. The FPS genre probably peaked before the late 00s and has been mostly repetitive since.
For me, early Halo represented the last stand of the arena shooter. With the online becoming more competitively focused, I doubt that's going to continue.
It would be great to see iD and Epic bring Quake and UT to consoles, even if it's in a FTP capacity and in beta.
I miss arena shooters, The first DooM had a brilliant death match multiplayer. Why it wasn't carried into Eternal I have no idea!
Games like DooM and arena shooters are the key to making FPS great again. Although I'm not going to lie, I'm biased as hell for Halo!
Andrew says: "The intrinsic values of COD are the following: memorable campaigns, meticulous multiplayer marathons, and lobbies populated by screaming 12-year-old kids that think puberty is the evolved form of Jigglypuff."
What makes a game eligible for such a prestigious honor as being seen as the greatest of all time? There are four criteria: the game must be widely recognized and remembered, it must exhibit longevity (remaining popular over time), it must enjoy international recognition and success, and it must have exerted significant influence on other games or the industry generally. Some historic titles that deserve credit that aren't just Mario and Sonic.
Fallout 76 should be on the list for quickest price drop, $59.99 at launch to $35 ten days later.
