A Pixelated View gets wistful and nostalgic about traditional modes of multiplayer, and laments that modern day multiplayer can never quite capture the same feeling.
Recently, players of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone were met with a new bundle featuring the B.E.A.S.T. Glove, inspired by King Kong's armament in the Godzilla x Kong movie. However, the $80 price tag attached to this themed accessory left many Call of Duty fans feeling underwhelmed.
Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash
Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.
They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.
I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.
The famous comedy duo is the latest example of pop culture becoming one big grey blob
Certain to have some sort of reference to their online store for CBD/THC chews, which is advertising heavily online the last month or two.
The randomness of the multiplayer characters is one of reason I quit playing COD after briefly returning in 2022. We got Space Marines, rappers, tree monsters etc. all in a series called “ Modern Warfare”.
I think if there was ever a time for a competitor to rise up and take away some of Call of Duty's thunder, the time would be now. A military shooter that takes itself seriously, not sold out to Fortnitism. Easier said than done, I know... but the time is ripe.
I can't stand this stuff either.
There are tons of MP shooters that make no profit, if you're looking for one of those
You guys have been saying this shit since 2009. Fortunately, nobody’s bringing down cod anytime soon, if ever.
I agree. I really didn't like how the silliness takes away the gritty origins. That and all the crazy effects... dunno. I'm still playing it but I'd love for someone to steal their cheese and cater to grittier players
@fsfsxii It's not so much wanting COD itself to die as it is wanting this silliness to die. Like CrazyCoconuts said, it takes from the grittiness. Many OG COD players want a straightup Military shooter experience, not silly costume time at Carnival.
is this what the kids want these days a pair of iconic stoners who were big in the 70s and have kind of held on I enjoyed their movies decades ago but I never recall the movie where cheech infiltrates a enemy base while chong snipes for support guess I must of missed that one
Man I'm getting to old for this
From Bootleg to Black Box, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 made a heartbreaking mistake by not remastering the bizarrely forgotten maps from its namesake.
Well, most Wii U games have offline multiplayer in one way or the other, so... the traditional multiplayer isnt dead, its just that most of it is in 1 single console, wich is kinda of a shame, since offline multiplayer is always pretty fun.
Yeah, it's kind of a shame that it has become so hard to find people that live near me who are willing to game as long and hard as I myself do sometimes, so local multiplayer isn't as viable an option as it was when I was a kid, back in the N64 days.
Ahh.....sleep-overs with night-long sessions of Goldeneye 007 multiplayer and Smash Bros...
Those were the days...
It's just evolution of the market at work. Couch multiplayer was born when gaming was a hobby for kids and online play wasn't even an option. A circle of friends would get together, hang out, and play. Now there are more gamers over 30 than under 17, and older people just aren't as likely to gather like that. I'm one of those elder gamers and I prefer online play because while I enjoy competitive and co-op multiplayer I'd rather have the whole screen to myself. Elder gamers are also one reason indies are enjoying a surge in popularity, because their gameplay is often reminiscent of titles we enjoyed in the past. Disposable income drives the market in both cases, and most of that cash is coming from older gamers with home theater systems and decent internet connections.
Diablo 3 has been one of my most played games last year because of the couch coop, outside of that and the lego games theres not a lot in that department.
Split screen sucks. Other then that WiiU has all of this.

I also think some of this has to do with growing up. Pretty sure if I asked my mates over for a sleepover I'd get my as kicked by either them or my wife.
