I’m not saying that Battlefield and Call of Duty are incomparable, or that we should shy away from judging one against the other, or that they’re aimed at different audiences. All of those things are true and cogent factors in discussing these two games. Unfortunately, pretty much all the media coverage on these two games has focused on this, and the companies involved have taken this viewpoint and run it into the ground."
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.
Good read. Interesting points. The rubbish coming from EA though to me has been sickening. They are taking away what Dice have done. What Dice really needs to do is improve their story telling. It is known they are not very good but like this article says COD has had some memorable moments (like the intro in COD 4) that DICE needs to look into.
All I know is that I'll be getting both games for my console of choice(PS3) and other gamers should do the same. Why only enjoy one game when you can enjoy playing both? Both games will be great, and I hope MW3 is more like COD4.
I have the complete MW series, That will be my next for sure!
I agree that they will both be great hits and will coincide with each other. One might sell better but they can both be huge hits for the developers and publishers.
Great read!
