I'm CoD & I'm Proud

Ross Everman for Fully 'Avin It writes - If you’re a blogger/journo/internet writer-man like we are here at Fully ‘Avin It, you know it’s ‘uncool’ to admit that you love Call of Duty. It’s like the gaming equivalent of admitting that you like Justin Beiber. But I’ll say it loud and proud: I love Call of Duty – and I love playing Ghosts.

A lot of the time it's typical snobbery. As soon as something appeals to a mass market people automatically hate on it, happens with all forms of entertainment.

Not saying CoD is perfect by any stretch but it has a place, and you know what, sometimes when you just want to switch your brain off it's bloody fun (pun intended).

Palitera4269d ago

This is a statement I really disagree with. "Turn brain off, play COD", since it "is an easy game". It is a MP game. If it is easy for you, it is easy for the guy on the other team. I played (really loved it up to MW2, then I tried but couldn't like it anymore since IW imploded) with my brain at 100% or more to win more and more and always stood above average.

I'm playing through Diablo and Tomb Raider now. Earlier this year TLOU. I really don't feel like I'm using my brain more on these games than I was on competitive MW2 games. For instance: I tried to know where all my team mates were; when they got killed, always looked to see where and by each weapon, always checked my map to see where enemies where shooting without silencer etc. In the end, I was called cheater everyday because, as many other players, I had the ability to tell where the enemy team was most of the game.
So, to be honest, I consider those games much easier than most MP matches I had in my COD history.

If you are referring to accessibility, well, then I have to agree, but this is a huge merit to the game design. Anyone can play. But if you want to be top 1 on your matches, better stay focused and think about the match you're playing.

joeydale134269d ago

I was mainly thinking about single player when I made the "swtich brain off" statement. Also to be fair if you are just jumping into MP to play with mates It's more for fun, not for the bragging rights.

HanzoHattori4269d ago

Fading quality, lack of innovation, extremely unbalanced. That is why people are moving away from COD.

Palitera4269d ago

To me are just two things:
1. Loss of production value. I feel like CODs since IW implosion are not as top tier as they where.
2. Nerf-addicted design. Until MW2, your char was very powerful, but so were the enemies'. Since then, they joined the need bandwagon and, for instance, no shotgun as secondaries, perk effects watered down through two, sometimes three perks.
Just think about how powerful tier 2 perks were in MW2. Yet it was balanced because EVERY perk on this choice was godly. This is simply forbidden today.

why is the thumbnail a pic of a soldier dry humping an airplane landing gear ?@$£ ;-/

BiggCMan4269d ago

I believe he is imitating the plane running over is balls, not dry humping it.

stavrami-mk24269d ago

Looks like his on the money shot though :-/

Hanuman4269d ago

Humping an airplane landing gear looks like such a thrill. Will put that on my bucket list..

All Call of Duty Games Ranked from Worst to Best

BLG writes: "Call of Duty has to be the most recognizable franchise on the planet. They didn’t get that way by only making a handful of games.

COD has a long and storied career. Launching as a PC WW2 first-person shooter, Call of Duty has gone through numerous makeovers and been on just about every system. The series has gone through some serious highs and tragic lows. I’ll be looking at each Call of Duty game, the good the bad, and the ugly."

Vanguard better be at the fkn bottom. Can’t believe ppl haven’t eviscerated that game with all its lacking

Minimoth1545d ago

Yeah, it's close to the bottom. There are a couple of worse ones. Infinite Warfare definitely deserves its place.

KyRo1545d ago

There's a number a lot worse than Vangaurd. It's also a lot better than that car crash Treyarch released before it.

XbladeTeddy1545d ago

World at War is my favourite. Didn't know the N-Gage had a Call of Duty.

MadLad1544d ago

Same for me.
I was never huge into Call of Duty, but I sunk a lot of time into WaW.
Both the campaign and the multiplayer are on point. Wouldn't mind a remaster.

I quit on CoD for a long while. Though I'm the odd man out that actually really enjoyed the campaign for WWII, being I got it through Humble monthly way back when.

TheLigX1545d ago

I really enjoyed the Infinite campaign. Multiplayer... not so much.

Yppupdam1545d ago

I agree, The Infinite campaign feels more like it's own thing that they slapped the CoD name on. If it stood on it's own, (sans the CoD name) I think it could have been it's own scifi franchise. And a damn good looking game, to boot. I never bothered to play the multiplayer.

victorMaje1545d ago

MW 2019 apart from the desastrous file sizes is way better than AW.

MadLad1544d ago

That was one I grabbed for Playstation because it pretty much just came out during the Redbox purge of videogames, and I got it for dirt cheap.

It was great coming home to an update every night, and watching one game eat up almost half my console's memory.

Amplitude1545d ago (Edited 1545d ago )

Will get disagrees but Infinite Warfare campaign was really good. Decent story, set pieces were amazing and if it didn't have the CoD game on it I'm sure people would have been more into it. Advanced Warfare was alright too. Titanfall 2 was just 1000 times better than both but I enjoyed them for their campaigns. I literally barely gaf about the story I'm in it for the set pieces and 5 hours of being stoned watching cool nonsense happen if I'm in the mood to play a CoD campaign. If I'm looking for a deep plot I'm gonna go somewhere else.
Ghosts was the worst story-wise though lol that cliffhanger ending was so bs.

Also MW 2019 was sick and is one of the best CoD games in yeeeears not sure why it's so low on this dude's list. Campaign was great, multiplayer was great and Warzone was fun for a while. Over it now but shrugs.

Beat the Vanguard campaign too but I can't even remember a single thing about it other than that it felt like it was 45 minutes long. Might be the most forgettable thing I've ever played lol just fully erased from my brain

Wore implementation I've ever seen,.. guess it just does not work all that great on every engine

MarkyMark892506d ago (Edited 2506d ago )

Agree, but this gives me hope that one day Ray Tracing can be a software based feature and not require some type of proprietary hardware to achieve. Software will always outpace Hardware so it could happen, but I feel like its going to take a lot more time to achieve the same level that RTX has already shown glimpses of so far. Really just waiting for Cyberpunk to see if RTX is actually something viable. I think if anybody can truly showcase RTX Features it would be Projekt Red.

zeal0us2506d ago

Too bad it doesn't make Mankind Divided a better game.

starchild2506d ago

It doesn't need to, the game was already fantastic, imo.

zeal0us2505d ago

Human Revolution was a better game and not to mention longer.

isarai2506d ago

Reshade is not raytracing, its a screen space post processing effect. Thats like calling SSAO "global illumination"
