Regardless of how you feel about the series as a whole, the perk system truly set the standard for multiplayer games today.
Call of Duty games used to be streamlined experiences, but COD 2024’s UI could be another nightmarish clutter of streaming tabs.
If we’re beating that drum, can we also stop forcing anyone who wants to play only the single player to download Warzone and all updates BEFORE they are then able to do another download from the menu of the single player campaign. I don’t see why I need 150gb of downloads in several ways to play the single player mode only from a bloomin disk which should have that campaign on it already.
The UI is confusing to me because I have not purchased a Call of Duty iin like 8 years .Only bought CoD MW3 because 3 of my friends I have known since to 70s are playing zombies . But I am used it now .
The UI is the least of the franchise many problems these days. But yes the UI is also terrible.
Do you remember what gaming was like before Fortnite entered the gaming space? One of the biggest arguments was about loot boxes. Now we have conversations about crossovers, battle passes, and community outreach.
Idk. Loot boxes did disappear and battle passes and in game purchases are all cosmetic. We get free weapons and maps post launch, any gameplay affecting content. I could care less about all the cosmetics.
I absolutely hated the days where weapons were locked behind a less than 1% chance lootbox pull where it'd take 5+ hours to have enough tokens to do a single pull and lazy remastered/remake maps cost you $15 each wave or $50 for the season pass that you didn't know what you'd get and these maps were only available to those that bought it so you get a smaller pool of players match with.
Call of duty can simply not copy the bad aspects of Fortnite? Or is that too out of this world? Like COD, a realistic shooter-just HAD to have Nicki Minaj running around? Or super heroes?
I prefer the battle passes with free maps than the $50 season pass that divided the community. I definitely feel that Fortnite had some influence on CoD having loot boxes with Blackout being introduced in 2018 with Black Ops 4.
Actually Fortnite bullshit ruined Unreal Tournament. Epic are sellouts and I will never have that shitty store on my PC, fuck them and that shit bag Tim Sweeney. At least the community keeps the games alive, I still play UT2004.
The Black Ops Gulf War leaks continue with a list of weapon descriptions giving more info on what you can expect from new and returning weapons.
I <3 Ghost Pro :D
Stopping Power FTW
How about we do an article of the most retarded perks in a Call of Duty game that made you seriously wonder whether the developers ingested cocaine laced mushrooms for breakfast:
One Man Army Pro- I did a double take when I noticed this perk. Naaah....surely not I said....it cannot be...not with Danger Close Pro? But alas, by virtue of a developer at Infinity Ward who injected Class A drugs through his rectum we got OMA noob tubers. And you know what? After getting my knees blown up for the jillionth time by people using this combo I started adopting the same. The Domination game type was never the same again.
Commando- I actually wondered how this would work first too. Will the guy get a bigger knife? Maybe a samurai sword? After all, how can you animate a greater lunge distance? But Infinity Ward had an idea for that. F*ck samurai swords, let's give players a f*cling translocator like in Unreal Tournament and allow them to teleport from one end of Somalia to the darkest and sleaziest corners of Amsterdam. Oh and coupled with a tactical knife, you had a torrent of 12 year old kids thinking they were 'pro' because they managed to spawn so far up the opposing team's ass, they conducted a cavity check before proceeding to kill 6 people in quick succession by merely hammering the right analogue stick.
I'm going to leave it at that because if I start talking about deathstreaks and painkiller, I fear I'll set my fire to my grandmother in a fit of uncontrollable rage.
