Call of Duty has never been garbage. It's considered garbage because it's always the same. CoD can be good fun when you're looking for something mindless to play.
It's not really mindless at this point though it's way too...not complex but...crowded I guess?

You can't go five seconds without being bombarded by airstrikes, remote controlled bombs, helicopters, special abilities, campers, grenades, rockets, people flying about, turning invisible, teleporting etc etc
There's a million different things happening all at once when it used to be relatively simple.

Ironic that changing it so much kinda ruined it a bit :rofl: I see like 1 out of every 100 fans saying they prefer the newer games to MW 1, 2 and WaW.
I was speaking more of the single-player aspect of it, though. Should've pointed that out.

There's a single player? I thought it was just multiplayer! :o_O:

Kidding.

Haven't really enjoyed single player for a while myself, I think people that do are in a minority really. Heck they even opted not to include campaign in the last gen version of Blops 3 IIRC.

I think it'd be really really cool if they mixed up the experience by having an expansive, interesting campaign with lots of cool characters and set pieces as well as unique levels.

Imagine they went for an almost GOTY worthy campaign instead of 90% focusing on multiplayer? That'd be awesome.

WaW was probably the last campaign I even wanted to replay really, the co-op and competing for the best score was a lot of fun. I remember one time on like the second mission, where you storm a beach, I got a hold of a mortar thing and got like...dunno, hundreds of thousands of points with it, like 10 times more than the other players. Very silly, very fun.


They should either go for an awesome story based campaign or one that blatantly doesn't take itself seriously and is just about making things go boom.

Naw, that's a silly idea I think expansive isn't what is needed. What I think they should try doing is going for a focused story telling kind of game. I mean they're already putting oodles and oodles of money into it, didn't the last game get Kevin Spacey to be play the antagonist? From what little I've seen he wasn't half bad. Simply focus on telling a better story, perhaps some choice in character interactions (not that sort of branching thing because let's be honest, you're in the military, you don't have that much independence in terms of what you do). Maybe a little hub where you sit back and relax with your army buddies and anyone that's with your squad. Go a bit deeper into what it means for the world when the CoD stuff happens. A look at human cost and such, what I think CoD single player mostly needs to be great as opposed to the mindlessness it is now is really just good writing, themes, and character interaction.

Nope, if it's like that I might check it out, I rather enjoyed 1 at least, and that does sound interesting.
How well is it handled?

I'm going to be honest here, I don't like the modern Call of Duty games because I suck a*** at them. The last one I was good at was Black Ops 2, but once they went full overboard on a tech-boner I got left in the dust, Advanced Warfare sealed the deal with those f***ing exosuits and their last minute boosting bulls***. It's made for f***ing hamsters on cocaine. It's ruined quickscoping (In private matches) for me honestly, back when things were fairly grounded I was damn good, maybe a few aerial shots here and there. Now? If I line up the f***ing scope and pull the trigger they do their hamstercain boost and completely dodge my shot, go up in the air like 50 f***ing feet, do a 360 w***scope and I'm stuck there looking like an idiot. I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE.

Middle-Earth: Shadows of Mordor would actually be a good game if it didn't have 30 billion loading screens. A loading screen when you exit the in-game pause menu? Really?

I think CoD would do good with either more fun campaign modes and/or a slightly better story, not something particularly deep or involved.

Given that most of the fanbase is like 12 I can see why they never bother going for a deep and interesting story that won't be appreciated by most, waste of money.

I feel like they should just focus on a few interesting characters not a whole story, running around with Captain Price was awesome. The guy you run around with in BO3 is just...just boring. A voiced protagonist didn't really work either I felt.
Your guy is just called Player IIRC as in you but he has his own thoughts, motivations and s*** like...are you supposed to immerse yourself or what? Just give him a name and make him a set character, it's not like any of the customization stuff mattered in any way.
There wasn't really anything particularly interesting going on in the whole game, they could have delved in to the horror of limb loss but it was just like oh no your body has been torn apart in a pretty shocking opening sequence...SHINY MECHANICAL ARMS AND LEGS THO AMIRITE, there's damn robits everywhere so you need to be like one of them robits, you can run along walls now too! Also hacking and a heap of other s***, go wild.

Also think it should lay off the corporate BS and focus more on actual war, world wars and stuff.
Whatever Modern Warfare it was which had the EMP was awesome, it took war to home turf not just some Asian or middle eastern country with typical war settings.
WaW was good too because you were the driving force of a lot of events, it felt like you were doing something. Not just taking down blatantly evil companies with world domination plans.

It's, something. It's one of those campaigns where you quite literally have to dig deep to understand what's actually happening

Have you guys ever played Spec Ops: The Line? If not I'd recommend it. It's a great game.

Ooh, I'm not one for physical labor. :p
How bad is it compared to 1?

@Kuklinski
I have! It's pretty awesome in how it let's you make choices, or rather the method you make them, and the story I think is pretty good as well.

For a shooter, the story is the best. Yeah the interactive story is really nice as well. There's some minor flaws in the gameplay itself but if you look past those the game really humanizes soldiers. Well, I mean the character you play as is some superhuman as you kill hundreds of enemies and s*** throughout the game but that's just about any video game.

I want another game like kotor 1 and 2.

The s***ty MMO doesn't do it for me and mass effect didn't quite scratch the itch

Yeah, the way I see it is sort of a look that the kind of person you'd need to be to the the kind of person that levees the body count your typical cod protag racks up.

@Din
What do you have in mind specifically?

Lots of dialogue/choices with a compelling story and the ability to influence ur crew towards lightside/darkside.
Lots of grey choices and unexpected consequences. (Like giving money to some poor guy might allow him to buy a blaster and murder a family)
