The latest "Top Downloads" list on the Playstation Store has Call of Duty Classic on top.
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."
Call of Duty has come a long way
Call of Duty has come so far graphically (sort of, barely passable by today's standards) and absolutely nowhere creatively. Why do something new with WW2 when you can re-re-re-re-re-redo the same old WW2 troupes and settings that have been done to death. Why sit down to write interesting characters with compelling story arcs when you can reuse the same flat 2D characters that are the same archetype and same the same lines you've used in all your games. Why create a new fun secondary mode when you can beat the zombie's concept to death some more. Call of Duty certainly isn't the game to show "how far we have come"
I kind of understand some of what your saying, basically new characters, but D-Day is something that should be redone every few generations of gaming.
It's a story that should never be forgotten,
and as we lose more and more vets of the battle every year it's a way to stay connected to that generation.
I can agree but D-Day is something that should be worked up too to have it the big moment in history that it truly is. These guys come out of the gate and say the entire story basically revolves around D-Day. 1 day out of a 6-year war that truly changed everything. WW2 has some very, very interesting stories and events that aren't your normal high school history book quick notes. A lot of mysteries and unanswered questions still plague historians to this day. Heck, it wasn't too long ago that they discovered a secret Nazi base. I'm just saying they can easily build an excellent story with all the history behind WW2. The trailer just reminded me of history class talking about a couple big events but focusing on D-day at the tail end of the war. Obviously, it's one of the big events that changed the course of the war but that doesn't make it the only thing you can focus on when on the subject of WW2, that's just asinine.
Of course not, that would cost money. COD is all about maximizing profit with as little effort as possible.
I'd be surprised if they don't re-use textures and models from World at War.
This week's Achievement HUNT, brings you Geoff vs. Ray.
PS3 owners love CoD. Who can blame them its a bad@ss series that never gets old IMO.
MW2 is personally my favorite multiplayer game this generation.
...but this port is half-assed. You aim with L2 and Shoot with R2 (there's no option to change anything about the controls), aiming is sh!t, the sound quality and framerate is poor, Multiplayer is forgettable.
And that's from playing first few chapters...
Sad because I remember playing this a few years ago on PC and enjoying it a lot more.
oh well..free (shared)games FTW!
... it will immediately be replaced next week by FFVIII
You're kidding me right?
You can buy the game for like $5 for PC. Anyones PC can play it nowadays. Not only that there is mod support to update the graphics, and other stuff
8 player multiplayer
sigh.....are people that easy to rip money off of?
Anyone that doesnt have this game and wants a true WWII FPS get this game right away. Its a lot better on PC of course but this is just as good. I have it both for PC and PS3 and love it just remember this is the game that launched the COD series. Look at this and compare it to MW personally i like it a lot better.
Playing this game in surround sound is absoulty amazing.
