[QUOTE="brucecambell"]I dont think i can pick one particular game but i will say most shooters today just feel dated & not worth my time or money. The experience they offer is pretty bland & forgetable. Something like COD has a lifeless campaign & terrible multiplayerAshley_wwe
I respect your opinion and I can see where you're coming from, but I just wanted to mention CoD a little bit :). I have been playing CoD since CoD1 came out on the PC. So that means I've played and completed the original, the expansion (United Offensive), CoD2, the console versions (Finest Hour and Big Red One), CoD3, CoD4, WaW, MW2, BO and I've even played the PSP title Roads To Victory. I love CoD basically. But ever since CoD4 I have noticed a change in the series. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy it, but I do miss that old feeling. CoD4 was a great game though and it was something different. WaW made me happy because it was going back to WWII, but it felt more like CoD4 than the original CoD games, but it's still a great game MW2 was a great game, but this is the point where it started to feel more of an add-on (that is even coming from me, an original CoD player) BO was no different in that aspect, but it still was great. It also had some great multiplayer modes such as Gun Game and some fun maps, just like MW2 MW3 I haven't played much yet because of problems with it at the start of the year (disc read error, but it's all okay now) I will be going to it soon though. But from what I have played, the campaign is easier than ever and the multiplayer is faster than ever with VERY small maps) That seems to be the problem. The campaign gets a LOT easier every year. Play CoD2 (or 3, but this is probably slightly harder? hmm) campaign on the 360 (or really, the originals, but this will do), then play MW2 campaign, both on Veteran by the way. You will notice a VERY big difference. The other point I was on about is the multiplayer gets faster every year. It went from normal speed, to a bit faster, to a BIT faster, to TOO fast. From what I played of MW3 it gave me a bit of a headache... the maps seem to get smaller every year too, or that may just be me. There are definately a lot of small ones in MW3 though. I think after Black Ops 2, that we should go back to CoD2 style (but with better graphics). Of course, the originals are my favourites, but CoD2 is a bit more modern with regenerative health and whatnot. I would also love it to go back to WWII. While Black Ops was in vietnam, it still felt like MW1, 2 and 3 to be honest... and even WaW, to be fair. Don't get me wrong I do still enjoy CoD, but I think it's time for a change again. It will be 5 years after the release of Black Ops 5 (I think that is the one that is next, right? or it's rumoured, either way). Back to WWII would be fantastic, in my opinion. But no killstreaks or perks. Just straight up CoD2 feeling (or even CoD3, I feel that game is so underrated!) Or really, I would love a new CoD game where they use a new engine that looks FANTASTIC, go back to making it feel like CoD2, but make a "remake" of CoD1. Not remake word by word... I can't think of the correct term. Think of it as a loose reference, if you know what I mean? basically like a reboot using some of the key levels and moments.I have played them all leading up to MW2. Call Of Duty 1, United Offensive, Big Red ONE, 2, 3, 4, WAW. I had enough at WAW. For me nothing beats the originals. They were great back in the day.
THe campaigns even though arcadey actually felt authentic at the time. Today they feel generic & dated, but maybe thats just me. The multiplayer for 1, UO, 2 & 3 were the best. I would still argue that COD3 had the best multiplayer in the series. Its MP design also had the most potential.
MY love for COD died with COD4. It killed everything good it had going & everything i loved about it. All of its charm was gone. Now its just a money milking machine. I understand people love it but i dont understand why after all these years they still love it.
I see many other games, unqiue games, better games, all doing something that i feel is much more worth my time & money. I cannot support something like COD over other games that i feel deserve my money.
For me i wish they would ditch the COD4 crowd & go back to its root. Drop the fast paced noob action, drop the perks, killstreaks, & pick up where COD3 left off with its team & class based, large scale, vehicle, multiplayer. From there get back to rooting itself in history but with rich charcaters & memorable, emotional WW2 action
