The problems of having mics in games. Especially the FPS games.
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.
Mics are good for people to talk to each other. However this talk, like the article says, is mindless trash talk. I always mute mics. Partly for the trash talkings but also I do not want to little to a group of friends talking who I have no clue who they are or where they are from. A way of private chat would be nice for the latter people but there is little way of getting rid of trash talking.
I am also not really a fan of helping my tea. Not for selfish reason but mainly because I particularly do not like getting told what to do, where to go and I think others are the same. Am I trained in online FPS military tactics? No. Is anyone else? No. It ruins the experience when someone is barking orders over the net when you know your equally capable of doing it.
I only use mics if I am playing with friends. It is meant to be for either general chatter amongst friends or teamwork. So, it is easy to me. If I don't want to hear you, I simply mute you. Game over!
I think it needs to be included in the next gen systems even if they are basic. I remember playing BF2: Modern Combat on the PS2 having open team chat and proximity chat vs the enemies where you could hear them talking to their friends or just them breathing in general and gain the upper advantage it was pretty cool.
It also worked well for clan matches where you could walk up to the clan leader and talk to him and what not(since there were no lobbies so to speak)
Only problems I find are ghetto people, children, and people in general who can't speak proper English.
I usually stick to XBL party chat when I roll with my clan mates, but we sometimes switch it to game chat when we want to talk a little trash. Sometimes it's fun to do that, just like in sporting events.
Sometimes people can be annoying, but that's what mute is for. I'd rather have people be a little annoying and communicate then not have a mic at all.
No one talks on PSN anyway and if they do its just garbled static.
