I hope that after BlackOps people have seen how much of a rehash COD is now.

Black Ops was not a bad came but no where near worth $60.

sdtarm...

it has some base code from Quake III...that is almost 12 years old...Cod4's variation of the engine is what dropped 4 years ago, which was significantly better than any past CoD offerings...but the engine hasn't changed much since...

AAACE55515d ago

You can bash CoD all you want, but despite its flaws, it is the closest to what gamers want to play!

Most shooter gamers prefer stuff they can relate to, such as known stuff like military current and past gear and stories based on real war events!

So while games like Halo and Killzone sell well, people like me aren't into the futuristic nerd dreams of those games!Not to mention the gameplay of other games like Halo and Killzone don't excite much!

When i'm playing CoD (even though i'm playing with unknown @ssholes) I feel like I am part of a team! I feel like I have to get somewhere and help out... Even gets my heartbeat raised a little at times! I don't feel any of that with other shooters! It feels more like i'm just wasting time.

Rainbow Six Vegas had that same effect on me, which is why I can't wait for another one of those to come out with better graphics and controls. But until then... I'll be posted up playing whatever Cod comes out. Hopefully Battlefield 3 can distract me, because I hsted the Bad Company games.

Yea i gotta agree. @twisty

I have played a great deal of COD since the first MW and this game is as far from team oriented as it gets.

Actually this is probably the most Lone Wolf accessible FPS on the market.

@Warprincess116

So you'll buy more of the same rather than something new?

I'd say it's your money that's being wasted, but it's people like you who keep these guys in profit and starting dlc-pricing trends, not to mention the higher retail prices.

You'd think with all of the millions they made they'd be putting it into some new tech, but it looks like they'd rather hold onto the cash and just milk more money, which people like you will gladly give them.

P.S. Battlefield games are just plain better online.

mac_sparrow5515d ago

I agree with Tmoss, the only way you're going to be served up a better game is by sending them the message that we've eaten this dish before, we want something better; and that needs to be done with your wallets.

Personally I'm not a fan of CoD,and I do believe they need a new engine to stay relevant; but look at it from their side.

Should we create a new engine and increase our workload and production time by a huge margin? Well, we still sold millions the last time we didn't bother, so even if we sell half that it still makes more business sense than investing in a new engine.

Don't agree with the outlook but there it is.

darksied5514d ago

@mac_sparrow

Who is sending them a message? The thousand or so of us who understand the argument here, or the millions who do not go to these sites and don't understand the problem. They will throw down $60+ dollars just because it says CoD on the front. New engine? Better graphics? That doesn't matter to them, only the fact that it's a Call of Duty game. It's become like the Apple thing, where people will buy it up regardless of how many (few) people are complaining that it's not that new or great.

JUDALATION5514d ago

Whats even worse... Is that the code that call of duty uses in all its engines are super easy to crack.... so dont be suprised it two weeks in you are being shot by a pistol shooting out rockets or a single fire that has smg fire rate after the hackers get their hands on this 10 year old code... Heck they can just transfer their mw2 cheats to MW3 on day one!

true, graphics aren't everything, but a new engine could be built from the ground up to allow them to achieve new aspects in their game. For example, enhanced physics, destructible scenery etc.

madjedi5515d ago (Edited 5514d ago )

" I know this won't happen but, you could still make the best shooter ever on that engine and people would still bitch about it looking similar to past COD games, graphics are not everything."

Any developer, cod related under activision, isn't going to make the best shooter ever on this engine period, part of the reason the engine is flat out too damn old.

The other part is neither the remainder of infinity ward or treyarc as a whole is ether talented enough or allowed to make a game remotely close to the best shooter of all time.

For fairness sake, 3rd part not every thinks cod's play style is that good.

Both mw2 and blops had problems badly, mw2 broken overpowered perks and glitches and blops was just broken.

As much as i hate the halo series, i'll bet $100 that bungie could make a cod game with more quality than the last 2 or 3 cod games combined in their sleep.

Every other fps dev is using either a brand new engine or is wiping it's ass with cod's sub hd resolution visuals with 60 fps with the same completely static backgrounds.

Better visuals, better physics, destruction, better ai, larger environments ect cod has none of these, which is why it's irrelevant in every area of moving the genre forward as a whole, but it sells like crazy.

Almost every other major shooter, brings more to the table with their latest offerings than the cod series does, cod hasn't really evolved much to me, from when it was called medal of honor yrs ago on pc.

As stagnant as the cod series is, do you really expect anything unique you fool. Twilght made a hell of alot of money, doesn't make it any less of a horrible series though.

It will be another nonsense story, same multiplayer problems because they won't do a beta before it's released. Really how sh*tty is your quality assurance control system, when all 3 platforms have problems weeks after launch and you make those kind of sales numbers.

And the same arcade run and gun idiots, that think their hot sh^t with no recoil guns, retarded 10 ft knifing and overpowered perks, switch to mag(especially) or battlefield games and then see how good you really are.

Nowhere in my comment did I say the cod series has a good story and has problem free online. BF3 looks amazing and it will probably be really fun. All I'm saying is MW3 hasnt even been announced yet. So instead of looking like a tool and trashing a game before there are ANY details given, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Everyone's on the bash cod bandwagon when half of them bought all the games. Just seems a little funny

Rixynator5515d ago

When I first got CODMW2 I was like wow this game is awesome then I got Black Ops (pirate) for PC and I was like same old then I got Killzone 3 for PS3 I was like man this game kicks ass I got a clan on that and they wanted me back on CODMW2 and when I got on it I was like I can't believe I actually bought this game it freaking sucks. Then I saw Battlefield 3 even tho I boycott EA games and I was like why did I even buy Killzone 3. Sorry Infinity Ward I will now boycott you.

Call of Duty Modern warfare 3 will be a crap game for PS3, why????

Because Treyarch the creator of Black ops ported that game badly on PS3. tsk tsk tsk.

And I will not be surprise if that COD MW3 will be another bad port for PS3, cause I have a strong feeling that Sledgehammer games is not alone developing that game, they've got TREYARCH sh!t on their back..

But then, I'm not saying that it will happen, that is just my speculation cause these days they have a bad reputation on PS3 community because of what they did on Black ops PS3 version....

jjank115514d ago

If they add servers without an extra fee, i'm in. (and add some more game modes for Hardcore players). Whenever I play CoD it always ends up being 4 or WaW and sometimes MW2. The CoD series got really bland and how much more can they milk it.
I'm just waiting for Battlefield 3. No CoD for me this year unless my friends give me some money to buy a copy to play with them.

The last notable game in this series was COD4: MW. Everything since has been the same. The campaign remains short and mediocre, the online broken and imbalanced, riddled with glitches and the game is still priced higher, along with its' DLC. There is no innovation or change. Same engine with no dedicated servers. Yet people keep buying it, and reviewers keep scoring it highly. What a joke. Activision are known for running franchises into the ground. There are many better games out there.
