Meh, cod is ok, I don't get to eat it very often though. I'm not too much of a fish guy, but when I do eat it, it's usually salmon.
I like Call Of Duty

I do enjoy the lack of sweeping generalizations that are stuffed into every other thread besides this one.
For those saying shit like "yea whatever don't care", you're not fooling anyone. You know exactly what kind of posts the OP is refering to that would prompt him to make this thread. The ones that are prevalent around 90% of this website. The ones similar to what Anthraxus posted that got him suspended (obviously without the inflammatory language.)
And CoD's not the only one. I'm almost tempted to make a thread saying "I like EA. And not Valve" and wonder how many of you will tip toe around the point.

And I like FFVII and JRPGs not that there is anything to hint towards that on my profile but I don't make a thread about loving FF VII or JRPGs like it is a big deal. Nor do I feel hard done by by the opinions of some people on this site. Why should CoD be any different? Also what is stopping you from making that thread?Aeonknight said:
Which Call of Duty? I ask this because, in my mind, there are two different CoD's. Modern Warfare and the good series with Black Ops and World at War. I like playing Call of Duty also, many people do, that's what it's made for, people yo enjoy it.
And with the reveal of another COD we have more hate and anti hate topics about it. (Enjoy it escapist users, its going to last longer than the Skyrim topics) But anyway, thats fine, you like Call of Duty. I like it a bit as well, everyone is allowed to like something, even if its Twilight or Lair or that turd of an adaptation of Avatar The Last Airbender. And so what if a lot of people really hate a community, I recall a blue pony once saying thats just like your opinion dude. (People hate bronies as well, everybody gets some sort of hate) I think I went off topic a bit.

While it's true that many people on this forum hate the recent Call of Duty games, most people don't really have any reason to care if you personally like it, especially since you haven't done anything like make objective statements that it's the best game ever or something.
Even if someone did take issue with it, there's not much they could say in this thread. You haven't made any arguments defending CoD, so there's nothing they can argue against. All you've said is that you like it. What are they going to say in response? "No you don't like CoD?"

I think you just helped me figure out why I have grown to not like the CoD franchise but had a love for MW. Besides the obvious one where I hated what I had become swearing at the screen every two seconds since MW2 on.RJ 17 said:
The original MW was just so pure. It required MUCH more skill to be good at it than these more recent games. As I said, this is quite specifically due to the fact that the recent games have gone nuts with the killstreaks. "Not good enough to kill your way to a chopper as you'd have to be in the MW? Well don't worry, we'll give you a perk that makes killstreaks 1 kill cheaper. On top of that we'll give you damn good killstreaks for getting 2, 3, and 4 kills!"Krion_Vark said:
I remember my first time through all I did was snipe so getting my kill streaks up high was pretty damn hard but I loved it. Just sitting in one spot setting up my claymores for defense and then just shooting people. So the low kill streaks I could get on for sniping but adding in the nuke was just ridiculous as well as a lot of other ones. I also got adding in high kill streak rewards because some people just didn't get killed often. But the kill streaks did get ridiculous and have killed a lot of the fun I had with MW2. I actually have never bought a CoD game I got them as gifts or my brother has bought them.RJ 17 said:
That's a pretty faulty generalisation. Just because you don't see Cod games worthy of their price tag doesn't mean the fans don't either and that they have to "bend over backwards". I for one get more bang for my buck with most Cod games than almost any other game I've ever bought. They're pretty much second only to the Elder Scrolls games. The map pack prices are ridiculous, sure, but I go splitsies with a friend and end up paying only about 6 euros for the ones we decide to buy.Andy of Comix Inc said:
Most people hate Cod and everyone who supports it because they think Cod is responsible for the current state of the genre. Here's a newsflash: it isn't. If others decide to copycat Cod it's completely their own choice and therefore their fault if you don't like their games. Cod is not to blame even though it has indirectly influenced other games, so save your hatred.
I really don't give a shit about what you like. I'm sorry if you expected me to care but I don't. You're free to like whatever you feel like liking.
I think you don't even know it's not called the "Metal Gear Solid" franchise. There were at least three games in the series before Solid came out.Rock-nerd said:
I hear, even from skeptics, that the earlier Call of Duty games were good (I think 1-4: Modern Warfare), and Black Ops 2 might be something I'd like to at least look at. So, I'll have to check these out, sometime.
Oddly enough, you pointing out yourself in your fandom is a lot like the fandom that calls themselves "bronies". Much like Portal or Call of Duty, there are the intelligent people that enjoy it for what it is, and there are those who only "like" it, because it's popular, and so they can form unoriginal "jokes" over and over again using one line from a single installment in the series. I like My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, myself, but, I don't think I'd call myself a "brony". And I certainly don't go shoving it in somepo- ...someone's face.
No, Activision treats their fans horribly. Especially on PC, I can't believe there are people that will put up with - and pay - Activision port after shoddy port, the stripping-out of announced features (and the balls to charge full price for map packs anyway!)... Activision are shit dudes, they don't care for you or the franchise, they butchered their most well-payed development house and didn't even give them the time to recover before going on with Modern Warfare 3 like it didn't even happen!Sande45 said:
"Getting your money's worth" and "bending over backwards" aren't mutually exclusive. It could be the biggest game of the year with hundreds of hours of content; it doesn't change the fact that Activision treats you like walking wallets. It doesn't change that they get away with nickel and diming their fans. It doesn't change that they butcher their development houses and expect everyone to just roll along with it. It's unfortunate, because the fans are dedicated people who genuinely enjoy the franchise - that Activision isn't pulling out all stops to please them is a massive oversight when companies like Valve exist that put the customer first and profits second.
Every business sees us as walking wallets. Some just try to hide it because they think that's more profitable for them. You can't really compare Activision to Valve anyway. Other is a developer and other is only a publisher. Of course developers priority is more towards creating a great gaming experience while publisher only aims for profit.Andy of Comix Inc said:
Activision has the ability to make Cod evolve as much as it wants and charge as much as it wants because Cod basically has monopoly in it's sub genre. There's really no competition that can be taken seriously. I agree that what Activision is doing is bullshit but hey it's not like other game companies didn't put them in the situation where they can get away with anything.
ps. I don't understand why anybody would play Cod on PC. Pretty much all it ever had going for it was 60 fps and overall smooth and polished gameplay unrivaled on consoles but on PC games like Battlefield 3 are technically superior in pretty much every way.
