mw4? bo3 was garbage, infinite warfare was garbage

My point is that they could've made it into a great game, it could've had a good story mode as well but they just didn't do it the right way, i mean you as the player are the big bad ass that wins the whole war by himself, Daniel is like the guy that without him the war can't continue, the AI player just waits for you to kill everybody, you need to do everything how the game wants you to do it, etc. I had high hopes for this but they didn't deliver it as always.

This "good story mode" has been done so many times in the past, that by itself it doesn't count as a great idea. You could play Medal of Honor: Allied Assault for a great story mode and no micro-transactions.

It's been so long right? This was the first FPS I ever played! Never got a chance to play the expansions though.

They kinda were, though first (and maybe second) were more like an action story, instead of trying to be blowing-up stuff epic, but taking part in events-kind of epic. Like attacking the fort with the huge cannons in United Offense.
I can only speak about my own viewpoint - some stupid, over the top action movie / game is good every now and then, but most of the FPS games can't offer anything else. Sometimes we have a bioshock, a dishonored or prey that are first person games but they aren't after the cookie-cutter FPS blockbuster formula, but try to tell a story.
For me AAA military FPS is one of the most possible boring genre, but as it looks like, they sell and keep the studios up. I just wish there would be more first person games with story, style and design, not just lotsa' shooting and a simple, clichΓ© story that we already seen in movies so many times, because I like first player games, but sadly the last few year's trend is absolutely not for me.

I had stoped caring about cod after modern warfare 2. Every instance after this was a microtransation garbage fest.

I've uninstalled beta one after like 3 matches, so yeah. Disappointed.

I had similar thoughts, that's why I refused to buy one (again). There is so little originality or refreshing ideas in these games. Same front, same battles, same enemies, same friends, slightly better graphics. Why can't we have an Eastern Front game? I know the point of CoD is the multiplayer aspect, but surely it wouldn't be too difficult to put some effort into singleplayer campaigns. Last time an fps shooter surprised me, it was Doom, before that it was Wolfenstein: The New Order, sadly Wolfenstein relapsed in the DLC and went with the zombies again, for the millionth time...

I actually made a reddit post of the retarded/hilarious things I spotted in the single player.
PPSh on D-day beaches
Your sherman tank being damaged by normal machine guns
Sherman can't penetrate the front of a Panzer IV which is 80mm but it can penetrate the side of a tiger II which is 80mm
Certain locations grant you insta death because you werent suposed to be there
Enemy snipers can shoot you through smoke just as accurately as without smoke
Gun reloads are wrong on many rifles, such as SMLE getting reloaded with a 5 round stripper clip to get 10 bullets instead of 2 stripper clips. If you have 1 bullet left in Kar98 the guy shoves in a 5 round stripper clip to get 5 bullets. Fucking magic!
Gun sounds are one of the worst I have heard in years, indie developed FPS games have better sound for fuck sake.
there are many more...and that's jjust the single player.

It's even more funny that you get 10 bullets from one 5 round stripper clip. I think the devs should have seen something isn't right there but hey, I guess anyone can make a AAA game these days.

The campaign is as accurate as it can get
To what? a Star Wars comic book?
and the online isnt meant to be hardcore serious.
I dont give a fuck about it being serious or anything. It's the same goddamn shit they released 10 times before just re-skinned now with even more exploitation of week-minded and people who have gambling problems with all the lootboxes garbage fucked in
Oh you poor thing. People like you feed this wheel of never-ending shit for companies like Activision and EA. You are why we cant have anything nice in gaming anymore . Buying this crap and helping them to continue this fuckfest.

USSR and their troops can go fuck themselves.
You're coming off as a dick who only cares that their game respects historical context, but doesn't respect that same history themselves. Especially so close to remembrance day. The USSR made great sacrifices and was just as crucial to the Allies victory as the rest, and you should have some respect for that.

No respect from me to red scums who ruined my country.

You don't have to respect the leaders of the Soviet Union. At the very least respect the hardships and sacrifices of the soldiers in the trenches by not spitting on that.

"Ruined"?So "teh red scums" are at fault that pigs like you pissed away everything the Union built for you in the past 30 years?The Baltic States were the Nile Valley of the UCSR,yet,against all odds,you managed to reduce yourself to a bunch of failed eurocolonial states.

I've finished Infinite Warfare campaign yesterday and it's so good and "fresh" it's actually sad they named the game COD because with any other name it would have been a smash hit (this way all the COD multiplayer kiddies gave it negative review and moved on, but the campaign is pure gold). It's a really good space-opera-action game.

With futuristic nonsense it at least had some degree of identetity. Very little of it but still.
Comment has been collapsed.
I think the bashing mostly came not because of the game itself.
They had 2-3 "modern" COD games before that, including Advanced Warfare (kind of futuristic), BLOPS3 and Modern Warfare 3. People wanted something different and demanded a WW2 game, but Activision released this (as it's been in the works for 2-3 years already) and people were like, "omg not again" without even trying it.
Second, they locked the MW remaster with the purchase of the game, which made people even more angry.
Third, and this is about the game, it had a buggy start (nowadays it works just fine).
Fourth, regardless of how good the campaign was, it was associated with COD brand which today means "multiplayer" and there's a lot of ways to fail there and get the entire game sentenced based on multiplayer component (have no dedicated servers? doomed!)
Also, some people like our OP hates "futuristic nonsense" apparently, so they are deemed not to like the game in that setting no matter what. But this is related to 4 - if it was "Infinite Warfare" they would never look at it and game would have great reviews, but since a lot of people look into it expecting whatever they want COD game to be, they judge it based on that.

I do not hate 'futuristic nonsense' i just hate nonsense in general :) I quite liked Titanfall for example and think that Lawbreakers is a very good game :) Both futuristic,both interesting concepts. Giving someone a jetpack and sort of m16 but not is lazy 'futurism' in my book.

I'm itching for a modern revision of MechWarrior, I have to admit that while playing Titanfall I always found myself wondering what a proper Battletech game would look like with the possibilities of today :>.
Yeah, I know, I made that statement in a more rhetoric way tbh. I would even assume that, if they'd have already backpaddled then, there's a high probability they would have ended up with the same hate they received for doing something different 'cuz COD, so: Tomato, I guess. COD isn't, nor ever was one of my favorite franchises and has a lot of issues IMO, plus suffers and suffers and suffers from the annual release schedule, but, still, they are by no means bad games, even if much of the criticism is warranted in my eyes. It was the first fully fledged Sci-Fi COD so far and Activision didn't help that much by adding the MW remake, because of that even kinda making the suggestion it would be bad before people even seen it. Never got into the whole COD MP experience tbh, after half an hour (back when MW was still a thing) I already found it to be... not my cup of tea xD and haven't tried it since - plus, since I've started with Arena FPS, I'm kinda biased like that anyway ;>.
COD (at least how we see it nowadays) always was a Michael Bay-"put your brain on stand-by mode"-Schlockfest, the rest comes with the territory, I guess. Β―\_(γ)_/Β―

COD WWII was my my worst purchased game of 2017 :(
I wish I bought Wolfenestein II instead ! I'm all done with COD series for good and will never buy another shit from them.

I for one was never this happy about gaming, at least since the 90s.
I mean, the triple A scene is pretty bad with all the rehashes, unending yearly franchises, PG13 appeal, and this new trend of a game being a platform for micro transactions that will some time in the future blow up on their faces.
However the indie scene was never this strong and creative. There are so many games I want to play and that are trying to do different stuff.
One small example: yesterday I won Cuphead and the 3h I've played already were a pleasure. I didn't want to go to sleep :)
COD well, I guess it's just another game to milk the franchise...

Are you seriously comparing Undertale and CoD? ( not that i'm saying Undertale is good or bad ) just...really? .
I dont like great deal of games as well and dont have to say anything much about them,they are just bad or not forme but this is hardly a case anymore with shitfest like CoD. It's past liking or not liking it.

So you mean to tell me that WW2 didn't start in 1944 when the 'muricans came and save everyone? Jokes aside, I would have liked to play as a nazi soldier confronted with guilt from being forced to fight in the war or other war fronts. As it stands, if you have seen Saving Private Ryan you have already played COD WW2.

Well that would take originality and effort so not going to happen.

Lol, I love your rants, they're a great example of the stereotypical gamer but without the racism.
We're yelling about cod being shit, is this 2013?
We haven't had wwii games in years, we've had an abundance of futuristic space combat games for a while, so a wwii game would be refreshing if it was actually decent.
of course they're gonna use d-day for the game, it was one of the biggest and certainly most well known battle of wwii that America participated in.
Complaining about cod being linear and over the top, that' literally a staple of the series, if you don't like that then ignore the games.
And complaining that triple a games are appealing to the lowest common denominator to sell the most copies instead of making a good game, are you just figuring this out?

I would say something about your rants and them being stereotypical of certain people but well,not going to :)

The problem isn't even WW2 games, but murica-sided ww2 games. Hard to make a breath of fresh air on the same war's same events on from the same side. Eastern front, Asia, North Africa with Rommel, so many options. But ofc D-day, speaking of lowest common denominator ^^

As someone who is semi-interested in history in general ( my father is a historian so i always had some relation to history , more than average person has ) modern fps games just milking this one side of one war is unbearably numbing to me. There are they more interesting wars and there are also German side if you really want to milk WW2. There are so many many things you can do with setting of war .
Comment has been collapsed.
Omg that sounds awful.
I mean, fps can't do that many things with war tbh. Guns aren't in a state that makes for "fun" enough gameplay until about a century ago, and a lot of wars don't have large enough battles or compact enough skirmishes to be entertaining to the average audience.
adam is right that the American fight on the western front is why people are getting tired. The games are just emulating saving Private Ryan, we've seen and played it so many times before. The war on the Eastern and Asian front haven't been played as much, at least not recently, and other parts of the western front, Italy, France, resistance movements, and the African front are things that we haven't seen 100 times before and might be nice to play. I'd love a game based on the SOE and the heavy water war tbh.
And no, the German perspective would be a horrible idea. We've dehumanized nazis and seeing a German fighting for the nazi army feeling guilty ain't gonna change our minds that "hey, not everyone of them was evil, some didn't know what they signed up for, and some had no choice" Nazi's are literally an evil caricature for us. And there is no way in hell any company would think about making that because of the controversy it would cause.
People got tired of WWII, then modern military, then futuristic space environment. The problem isn't that these settings have been used too much, it's that cod appeals to the lowest common denominator and to do that they've remade literally the same exact story in the environments.

You'll just imply them instead? Don't be a bitch, if you're gonna say it, just say it, i don't mind.
But saying 90% then backing out to pretend that you're not as rude, seriously?
I don't mind shitposts yo, I just don't get yours, these aren't new points or new complaints. everyone knows cod sucks. everyone knows big companies only care about money.
Assassins creed also has a new game coming out if you wanna complain about ubi's greed and the series being shitty, but that's been the consensus since last console generation.
I'd much prefer if you'd rant about things we haven't heard for years, it'd be much boring.

I'm not even exaggerating here. This 'fresh breath of air' which for some people somehow meant getting back to WWII setting which is probably most used and abused game setting in a history of everything is just vomit inducing. It's western front again ( like WW2 didint take in many many different places around the world and have way more interesting fronts than western one ) , it's opening is D-Day...REALLY? D-DAY all over again? it's riddled with M.Bay over the top bullshit action scenes. It's linear as fuck,you cant even kill enemy sniper or MG bunker if that doesnt follow then strict script of the game. It's so shallow,boring,unimaginitive that somehow it doesnt even surprise me that it is selling so good. Your average "gamer" is uninspired bag of boring fuckmeat and boy publishers know that. And that's only the singleplayer. I wont even start talking about lootboxes other players CAN see you opening to induce jealousy and encourage you to buy their fcking lootboxes as well.
End of rant.
No giveaways because i'm out of keys.
Fuck today's gaming , seriously.
