went into the wrong direction starting from MW2

black ops is the best cod

Unlike nintendrones, normal people can't play the same games over and over for over 20+ years like they do with mario, so the IP just died.

Black Ops 1 was actually really. And then the last 5 seconds tarnished it.

"AMERICA! BATTLESHIPS! JET FIGHTERS! YEAH FREEDOM!"

Am I supposed to not question where the fuck all these assholes were 20 minutes before when two or three huey choppers got plucked from the sky by a shitty rusty ship, and a fighting force of maybe no more than 20 guys were reduced to a handful of men who consequently blew up the ship, stopped the big bad, and saved the world?

The blatant """patriotic""" dick waving was completely out of place in that moment of the game.

>Battlefield goes futuristic
>best thing to happen to the series
>Call of Duty goes futuristic
>jumps the shark

Nothing. It just took 10 games for people to realize it is shit.

The vanilla maps were fucking horrendous

And then Battlefield went revisionist history

All the greats eventually succumb to retardation, I'm afraid.

>revisionist history
user it was NEVER historically accurate.

>we live in a timeline when CoD is a better MGS than MGS

>40.000.000 europeans die in WW1

Sweden can never be punished enough for this

>make one IW shill thread
>dies with 10 replies
>inmediatly make another one

The game is a failure, you can not salvage it, get over it.

>future

it stopped taking itself seriously in both its annual releases and overall tone; went from portraying the horrors of war to painting war as FUN BRO, SPACE BATTLES, KEVIN SPACEY DUDE

>portraying the horrors of war
You mean copying the same scenes from Saving Private Ryan over and over?

This.
Pic related basically embodies what Cawascooby is now.
A black hole of cancer.

It went to shit when Black Ops 2 landed. They should've just stuck with the 1980s Cold War setting like they originally intended to and told Activision to fuck off with their future bullshit.

>tfw there will never be a CoD set in the 1980s cold war.

Completely went to shit after Black Ops 1

>real life
>took hundreds of soldiers to take over Omaha beach and an entire day of fighting

>MOHAA
>one guy single handledly secures the beach in 15 minues

They released the same game for the 50th time and this time even dumb 12yos got the message?

This.
The Cold War levels are the most interesting part of BO2.
Should have stayed there.

>They should've told their boss to 'fuck off with his bullshit'
t. unemployed virgin neet

>make the same shit over and over again, adding piles of stupid gimmicks
>normal people get tired
>continue this trend for years
>even dumb kids get tired of it

Nothing went wrong.
Now.

It went wrong ages ago, it just has been pulling the same shit for so long that even children are tired of it.

On top of that, Infinite Warfare is a completely uninteresting turd.

Wasn't Omaha beach regarded as lightly defended, which is why D-Day succeeded?

>pretending the futuristic settings weren't the logical conclusion of CoD

You people got tired of the WW2 settings and talked shit, you got tired of the Modern Warfare, and now its the Futuristic games that are supposedly shit.

At this stage it really dosent matter, they can do whatever the fuck they want.

You do know that's what Infinity War did when they were making COD4, right?
In fact, COD4 began development as a WWII shooter, and they had to tell Activision to fuck off and chill until it came out and sold like mad.

Not at all, the Germans simply started running out of ammo.
In fact, the objectives for D-Day were securing both the beach and a couple of kilometers inland, and at the end of the day they only managed to secure the beach.

In fact, the entire Operation Overlord was completely stuck for almost 2 months, until late August.

What are you talking about faggot?

Call of duty infinite warfare is one of best cod games of this year.

Unlike battlefield 1 is just a failure since it's just a reskinned battlefield 4.

Besides call of duty infinite warfare won the market and has more players than battlefield 1 and lets not forget lots of people find call of duty infinite warfare a much more fun game than the trashed up battlefield 1.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_of_Duty:_Infinite_Warfare

You can clearly see that it has more ratings then battlefield 1.

>Call of duty infinite warfare is one of best cod games of this year.

Somehow this sentence alone explains everything that is wrong with it.

Fuck no, Omaha Beach was defended more heavily than the Allies expected, to the point where it would have been smarter to abandon it and concentrate on Utah Beach.

>Call of duty infinite warfare is one of best cod games of this year.
More COD games came out this year?

>Unlike battlefield 1 is just a failure since it's just a reskinned battlefield 4.
And IW is not even a reskin of Black Ops 3, since it butchers BO3's movement.

>Besides call of duty infinite warfare won the market
Not at all, it's sales are more than 50% lower than Black Ops 3, which will make it sell about 10 million.

>has more players than battlefield 1
The only one we can compare is PC, since we have no number of console players of IW, so let's compare that one.

BF1 peak player count today: 80808 players.
bf1stats.com/

Infinite Warfare peak player count today: 5508 players.
steamspy.com/app/292730

Not only does IW have 16 times less players than BF1, it has less players than Black Ops 3.

BO3 peak player count today: 6711 players.

>Infinite Warfare has sold in one month what Black Ops 3 sold in launch day alone
Based PCfags.

The sales for call of duty infinite warfare is not slow infact it is actually selling more than BO3 has ever sold.

Also those statistics are fabricated and not real because call of duty infinite warfare has much more players in all three major platforms than battlefield 1 because battlefield 1 failed to listen to their own fanbase so because of that the fans from battlefield series have actually moved to play call of duty infinite warfare.

Face it, it's facts.

>this entire post

Don't worry Kotick, we will always have Destiny.

Really. That's your "revisionism". A black guy on the cover. Black people fought in WW1, user. Did you get this buttmad with BF1942 having an American soldier on the cover and only 2-3 maps with Soviet soldiers?

...

pol plz go

>Black people fought in WW1, user.

Sure, like less than 1% of the troops that fought in the war were black. The vast majority were whites.

its amazing how every new cod is the best cod in years..
>Unlike battlefield 1 is just a failure since it's just a reskinned battlefield 4.
and somehow IW isn't, either bait or a fanboy, either way, god help you.

I play IW and MWR every day. Deal with it.

The french had alot of blacks in their troops since france was taking in any outside immigrants to fight for them which funny enough was american blacks.

And the vast majority of casualties in WW2 were Russians. Russian casualties outnumbered American ones by 53-1.

Does it make it revisionism to put an American on the cover of a WW2 game?

Call of Duty and Battlefield are at the point where they've done everything to death. Unless COD decides to go even further into the future and we start getting some sweet ass DUNE aesthetics going.

I honestly think they should just go full fictional, make up their own countries, history and wars, just go full creative. If anyone can drag normal fags kicking and screaming into the land of Strangereal, it's EA and Activision.

Can't deny the truth about it friend.

Battlefield 1 is literally battlefield 4 but reskinned and likely would have just been an over priced DLC which it is unlike call of duty infinite warfare which isn't a rehashed game unlike battlefailed 1.

Also battlefield 1 keeps making these "promises" for good DLC but haven't released them at all let alone took them literally long time to just released a small update meanwhile call of duty infinite warfare makes sure to keep the game up to date and has good DLC with respectful prices.

The truth hurts doesn't it?

>Battlefield 4 reskinned.

Naw, it's Battlefront reskinned. It even has the same HUD system going on.

Jesus christ I hate cod now.

>haven't released them at all
because the first one is supposed to drop in late december

But AW was damn good.

They could make a Call of Duty game set in the Old West to leach off of Red Dead Redemption but that would probably involve unjustly killing Native Americans so no one would be comfortable playing it.

Actually, come to think of it, MOH Spearhead had a bigger case of revisionism. The last level is the Battle of Berlin...but the MC is still an American soldier. You fight your way through Berlin for the Soviets and capture the Chancellery single-handed. THEN you take command of a Soviet tank, run roughshod through all of the German armor left in Berlin, and then cut a bridge cutting off all German reinforcements. Doing in a manner of hours as an American what the Soviets couldn't do in weeks. The best part is when Stalin flies over Berlin in a white bomber to personally examine his conquest, something that is literally out of a Soviet propaganda movie and never really happened.

>inb4 "it's just a game" and "it's artistic license"

Congratulations, so is BF1.

Christ this.
It became an inside jokes with me and my friends how Mason would say "We'll be ready next time" and two jets fly into the horizon symmetrically.

Escalation and Annihilation Maps were utter garbage

They made it more fun by adding additional mobility, customization, and more responsive and fun fictional weaponry while leaving everything else otherwise the same. Looks like it got better to me

But it only ever had pretentions of realisim before. no one teared up at the airport shooting, no one cried when a squad mate died, no one was horrified by its portrayal of "war" where one soldier slaughters hundreds and regenerates health while carrying 500 bullets. By abandoning that in reveling in the ridiculousness that was already there its nothing but an improvement. I would say the first CODs in WWII had a better portrayal of war in a realism sense but modern warfare was already so far detached from that gameplay style it jumped the shark long ago.

Except the movement system is a completely butchered version of the one from the previous game, the customization is pointless, it's less responsive, and the fictional weaponry looks like retarded versions of weapons reskinned from Modern Warfare.
There's not a single good thing about that turd and it has the exact reception it deserves.
Not to mention the pathetic scam of putting P2W loot box weapons on a $60 game with season pass.

>more responsive
This is straight up false.
Then again you are probably one of the many shills this game has.
Very happy of it's poor reception, same for Titanfall 2.

The movement system is undoubtedly worse yet still an improvement from the lack of any, which is what modern warfare had. Customization is objectively pointless if you're a weird robot and not a human that values superficial things. Do you wear the same plain clothes every day too? If its so pointless then its inclusion shouldn't bother you. Its a little thing they use as a carrot on the end of the stick to keep players on the grind. Again nothing but an addition as the other things you grinded for before are still present. If you dislike it then ignore it, I like it and explained why. I see it as nothing but an addition just like the movement, even if its not as good, is nothing but an addition. I like scifi and futurisitic things, there's nothing you can say to make me dislike that just like there's nothing I can say to make you like it. Obviously p2w boxes are indefensible, no one would question that.

>Customization is objectively pointless if you're a weird robot and not a human that values superficial things
The problem is that the customization is for your character model, which I can't see, making it pointless.
Weaponry wise it's only just more camos, and BO3 let you make your own, although only for certain parts of the weapon.
And one of the things of futuristic games is I expect them to look futuristic, not have a fucking AK 47 covered in cables and shooting lasers.
IW has one of the worst concept designs i've ever seen.

And no, just because it rips off the concept of Elysium doesn't mean is good because Elysium's designs were also lazy shit, and in IW they make even less sense considering they have space F-35s, Androids and can fly all over the solar system.

No its a matter of opinion, which objectively can't be "false". The amount of arrogance in that statement is baffling to me, but I guess its you same people who just call everyone not being relentlessly negative a "shill". Which is fucking retarded in itself because If they're being payed to do it your refutation would mean less than nothing

Explain how it's "completely butchered"

Ok yes the Ak 47 is fucking stupid. Black Ops 3 had better designs all around, IW is the furthest in the future yet the tech seems furthest behind in combat.

slowly died after mw2... being mw2 the peak of the series
after that only black ops was somewhat acceptable - mw3 was the final nail in the coffin and i lost all interest afterwards

why didn't they simply used artillery from the boats to take out the mg nests?

>wallrunning sometimes fails to ''stick'' to a wall in MP, even though it always did it in BO3
>the moment you touch a wall you start going down, instead of running straight for a bit and THEN start going down, making it absolutely useless
>jetpack is weak as fuck
>slow as shit walking and running from COD Ghosts

Things started going wrong after MW2.

To me it seems people starting complaining too much and demanding too many changes after MW2.

The developers starting focusing on finding ways to balance gameplay and keep people from complaining instead of adding more enjoyable content.

MW2 is my favorite and BO1 is great too, but multiplayer in BO1 and every game afterwards seemed so much more slower paced than MW2.

I can't say what the newer COD's are like because I quit buying new COD's after Ghosts. I did get the remastered COD4. I haven't played infinite warfare

2142 came out in 2006, it was really the first example of its kind... and it was the only future Battlefield shooter.

The issue with Call of Duty is that this is like their 3rd future shooter and there is nothing unique to the game anymore. 2142 was unique and it was a good game.

DICE/EA realized their contemporary shooters were getting stale with Battlefield 4 and Battlefield Hardline... so instead of releasing Battlefield 5: Contemporary Shooter, they fixed the staleness of the series and brought in a whole new setting with Battlefield 1.

DELET THIS MODS

They were. Hardened concrete bunkers aren't easy to destroy.

It finally got a decent campaign after 10 years
