Ghosts was better than AW, that's how much AW sucked. Good dodge.
Black Ops 3 - first one was great. Second one started introducing batman suits, robot walkers and stealth cloaks. If this one's like the second one they can f**k off.
You lucky lucky SOB!
I've never settled on cod since original black ops. Used to love s&d. I play battlefield now and it's more can't motivate myself to going back and even trying it.
Wasn't a big follower of the Blops storyline so not fussed about this game that way but I'll be looking on with interest in how the multiplayer is. Hopefully they don't continue down the futuristic pish & they sort out S&D as that was ruined in AW.
At E3 Microsoft will show a new trailer featuring something shiny like an actor for the single player campaign, or a new jumping / shooting / reloading mechanic for multiplayer and you'll all pre order it. There might also be a pre order incentive like you'll get to play the game two days early this year, or you'll get a new scope.
Also using the tanks or helicopters is great fun.
I got so tired of being called a 'camper' just for sniping from one place. I'm a sniper FFS you idiots, that's what snipers do.
Yet there were plenty of gimps quick scoping, which takes no skill whats so ever.
I was hoping for a return to ww2. This futuristic crap is not for me.
Ghosts was easily the worst Call of Duty, the plot was awful and boring, the action felt like a greatest hits of the set pieces so far in the series and I could never get into the online at all
Advanced Warfare was an improvement but never quite reached the heights of Black ops 2
I'm really looking forward to this one, ever since Ghosts launched I've been waiting for the next treyarch game, hoping for and expecting it to be BO3 and now that it's be revealed I can't wait for the trailer
That being said, most of what's wrong with the last few games can be traced back to that one. Although you had shock charges, mines and such, staying stationary for too long was actually pretty difficult. I like to play a balanced game - find a spot, kill a few, move on etc. I don't like sitting in one spot for the entire game, cos what's the point, and I don't really like running around like a headless chicken for the entire game either. Sadly, BlOp2 is where they really overcompensated and skewed everything towards run and gun - everything since then, Ghosts, AW, has been exactly the same if not even more so. CoD has always been more arcadey than BF, but it's now gone way too far. Every game is frenetic, pretty much for the entire duration of the round. News just in - F**k that sh*t.
Also the slippery slope started with the futuristic cr*p.
I wouldn't mind them going back to either WWII or actual 'modern' warfare, but this slant towards futuristic/advanced b*llocks is just ruining it. If I want stealth suits then I'll go play Halo. If I want jetpacks then I'll go play Titanfall. Both much better games at what they do than what CoD is trying to do.
Sadly, it's unlikely that they'll pull back from what they're doing now. WWII? No chance. Very limited scope for massively overpowered kill streak rewards and perks. I mean, look at WaW, they struggled to think of stuff to the point of having DOGS as rewards!
They should really go back to a multi-year development cycle with just one developer, at this point, preferably, 3arc. Infinity Ward for all intents and purposes are gone - they're a completely different outfit now and in no way, shape or form match up to the team that West and Zampella led. Equally, Sledgehammer, sorry, you had your chance but completely screwed the pooch with AW, I really wouldn't give them another chance.
But hey, Activi$ion. Chances of doing the right thing?.....Erm.
Maybe cod players should give hardline a go. I personally don't like it as it's too run n gun cod like for me. I prefer full scale vehicle battles in proper battlefield.
They won't go back. Just look at how they market the games these days - they're like mini Michael Bay movies. I'm not even sure how they'd go about marketing a WWII game any more.
They could try and do the best of both if they wanted, do a time travel story (at this point it's the only thing they haven't done) start off in the future and then get sent back to an alternate reality WW2
The other blops games were good so heres hoping at least one of the teams know what they are doing.
Tbh, I do like the alternate history idea. Change things up slightly, not dramatically. Different, but familiar.
3arc is the only reason I'd consider picking this up. They're the only half-decent developer that the franchise has left.
I only started playing cod when black ops came out so every cod i played after that seemed inferior but the last two have been a joke, its got to the point i would be genuinely happy to see a MW3 remaster.
