Call Of Duty Killing Controllers

Now i hate to say it but i'm having nothing but problems with my controllers due to call of duty.  I own a ps3 and  total i got about 15 days online between cod 4 and 5 and i'm on my third controller and its always the same thing a problem with the left analog stick after awhile its not smooth it starts to like click when you move it slow... and occasionally when you let go of the stick the character still moves slightly  i talked to some of my friends who have a 360 and ps3 and a few of them are having the same problem.  Just wanted to make sure its not a wide spread thing

                                                                                                           thanks

This is actually normal controller wear, happens to all of 'em after a while. I assume clicking the left stick while running only makes it worse though. At least you're not playing ut3, you die pretty fast because of this problem with the sensitivity as high as it is in that game.

well i think it deff makes the controllers lifespan go down alot

Funny how this has happened to other people besides me!
I played Cod4 MW a lot and had that problem with my first SIXAXIS.
While idle, my character would slowly move right. I hadf to tilt a little to the center in order for it to stay still.

I think its due to the running L3. The L3 button is supposed to be clicked in the dead zone but in CoD we always go forward and click it! After the sprint runs out (youre still walking foward) you press it again while pushing up the Left Analog. If puts too much strain in it!

I think its a problem of over use and its bound to happen tho the controllers sooner or later! But the frequency we play CoD4 cuts the lifespan of the L3 dead zone from 3 years to 6 months!

it happend on both my 360 and ps3 sixaxis pad. it aint happend on my dualshock 3 yet but i have a feeling its getting there. im almost positive its the sprint button on cod4 that causes it. perhaps they should make L2 sprint and just have one button for the diff types of grenades

i posted this as a article for the site but i guess the top three hottest girls in gaming is more inportant than this wide spread problem because its my article and i posted my own article made it LAME is what people were saying this site is stupid how does this not make it but top ten overrated franchises is topping the site WTF i cant get over this what do you think all news is???? its people telling you there problem and voicing it to see if other gamers are having the same problem witch its obvious people are so maybe call of duty should change the default controllers

I can relate.
I've had that happen to me when i played COD4 on my PS3.. my sixaxis died.
But my Dual shock 3 remains strong as ever!

I killed my 360 controller with COD2 awhile ago.
But my new controller is fine.. i stopped playing Call of Duty (any) after that.
On to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2!

It happened to my Sixaxis but my DS3's have held up. I think it's just a lot of use on the left analog due to COD4/5 and not faulty controllers. When the Sixaxis left analog became useless I made a mental note not to press down on it as hard while playing COD.

well maybe call of duty should should change the controller layout

no problems even played cod5 for a few weeks plus a bunch of other games everythings good... oh yeah cod5 is worse than cod4...

Metacritic Removes Resident Evil 9 Review From Fake AI Writer

Kotaku writes: "A Resident Evil Requiem review published by long-standing UK gaming news site Videogamer has been removed from Metacritic after readers pointed out it was written by a fake AI journalist who doesn’t actually exist. Videogamer‘s human masthead was gutted last week, sources tell Kotaku, and the site has been publishing apparent genAI slop ever since."

Genuinely well done on metacritic for taking such an immediate hard stance. Not often, if at all, you see that these days. Credit where it’s due.

This is really sad on so many levels. Not least of all the fact that all the human lost their jobs to a language model. Can we block all content coming from Videogamer site. Can we make a rule that content sumitted to N4G must be greated by a human being.

I'm gonna report every Videogamer article I see on N4G from now on so just putting it out there.

N4G doesn't allow AI-generated content. Please report as you see necessary.

It is amazing but I'm starting to slightly miss the moron gaming press we had in the 2010s because at least they were human.
