Poll: Call of Duty 5 - W.W. 2 - Shit or The Shit

[sirdanrhodes]

I wont do the poll untill I play the game.

 

[Crunchy English]

A gamer must always, always be skeptical of screen shots, interviews, developers journals and anything that is not a purchased retail copy of a game in their own hands.

I think what comes to mind is when Penny-Arcade coined the phrase "bull-shot". And also Zero Punctuation's recent take on the new Prince of Persia.

I believe the general point is, play the pessimist. If the game ends up being good, you can be wrong and still have a good game to play. If it sucks, you were right all along. And game developers will never have any inspiration to continually improve if we keep declaring their games "the shit" six or eight months before release.

i reserve my opinion until ive tried it. its hard to make any judgement without some personal experience

 

[Ixus Illwrath]

WW2 has been beat to shit in gaming. I've grown pretty weary of using outmoded weaponry...

Vietnam could use some more attention, though. Shellshock, Battlefield: Vietnam, Conflict: Vietnam and VietCong are all that era of warfare really has to offer.

The way the engine for COD4 runs right now, you could set that in a jungle environment easily.

What about a game set in the Korean war? I think there is one somewhere but I can't remember it's name (probably has the word "Korea" somewhere in the title). Come on! that would be fun right? anyone?

 

[Zeppelin928]

i think this game will be great cod 3 was good in my mindd and with 8 months to make it when IW has 2 years min to make a game.And with all that time what does IW give us a modern noob game. its all there if u cant aim use a P90/MP5 or one of the LMG's if u can only get one hit off before u die M16 and if u just plane suck there jugga and marty in there for ya

Everyone is going to think this is shit and when it comes out people will be shocked that it isn't - may not be on par with Infinity Ward's design but, it's gonna have vehicles in multiplayer and gradually improve on CoD4's reskin that for some reason got GotY Everywhere just because we were killing arabs and russians instead of Nazi's, and using M4's and AK-47's instead of M1 Garands and MP40's (oh what a breath of fresh air) - despite there being plenty of other "modern" shooters.

Company of Heroes, Brothers in Arms.. "OMG WTF ANOTHER WWII GAME?!"

Now people fucking love them!

Call of Duty, is just going to be a damn shooter, for the rest of it's life; and it's gonna have awesome scripted moments like every other one, no matter where it is set...new settings won't save it if Activision wants to make one every year along with Guitar Hero. I'm skeptical but I'm not gonna call it shit just because it's in WWII again.

How about Brothers in Arms Hells Highway? Looks pretty good but OMG WWII!!! How about some Modern Warfare or Space Warfare huh?!

 

[Crazybuddha56]

First, they take the series out of fucking WWII and into new territory and it works great, but now its going BACK to WWII, who the fuck thought that was a good idea!?

 

[Zeppelin928]

you all know what i think is funny theo. People hate WW2, say they have played it to much but dont know a think about it.This one guy said on one of the cod:WW USSR(Russia)campaign vid "This will be just like cod 1,2,3 just without shooting Germans" yea because the US fought Russia in WW2.Then theirs the great "will there be choppers?" yea in WW2 there was a ton flying around killing people.The worst one theo is when people say this game will feel old when in cod4 u can kill a guy with a gun on a map both from cod2. in the same spot u did it in cod2.If thats what u think is new, then come here i got some S*** to sell ya.

 

[black lincon]

I don't mind the change back but what I'm worried about is them adding vehicles i just know its going to mess up online play i mean vehicles are ok in some games like halo 3 because of the ample supply of rocket launchers and stuff like that but in a world war two game there wasn't a whole lot a solder could do against a tank

 

[jakefongloo221]

i was reeeeaaaaally good at cod 2 and though my skill no less diminished in cod4 it made it increadibly easy for noobs to pwn the shit out of me red dots, acog, claymores, airstrikes, helicopters, m16s....etc etc i'm glad for this change to the good old iron sites! no more red dots HAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[l3oom]

simple enough
treyarch=**** and Activision=THE ****
cod3=**** and cod 4= THE ****

all there is to it

 

[jakefongloo221]

WW2 is done to death... Grow up game designers!

Umm... And what about a WWII game, where you can play as a Nazi / Russian, and fight against the good? Or to do Pearl Harbor attack again, and again, but with different roles (plane, submarine, battleship, infantry, etc.).

As you can see, there are many things, that weren't used yet. But the developers seem to love feeding us the same American Shit Apple Pie again, and again.

It hasn't been made because no self respecting publisher would touch it with a 10 foot pole and for good reason. Lets make a game where your objective is to hit the WTC with 2 jets, while we're at it. Talk about bad taste. Actually I think developers have a bit of common sense. As an American, if you can bring yourself to play as a Nazi or Japanese killing American soldiers, seek a therapist and fast. If you're not American, then you wouldn't understand.

...its people like you who take games to seriously that often lead to the isms and the other bull that people honk out because they are to extreame to realise hey this is a game. let me explaine something to you the japanese pilots that died in the attack i bet were probably some cool guys they followed orders just like we did when we bombed them ATOM BOMBED THEM civilians militants animals EVERY ONE!!! stop looking at it from the one point patriotic view

its a game the only comments should be game play story line realism or awsomeness etc. etc.

and just fyi i'm wearin my dad's and my grandad's dog tags right now both involved during vietnam but i hold nothing against the vietnamese all it ever is is just what were told about the other side what we make up about the Other Side and how blind we are to the OTHER SIDE orders orders orders...

 

[qbert4ever]

Can't say it's on my radar. As others have said, WW2 has been done to death, reanimated with dark magic, and then killed again. Now, this may not mean it will suck, but if I were to play checkers over and over and over and over (you see where I'm going with this), then I would, at one point or another, flip the table and ram the pieces down my opponents throat.

And I fucking love checkers.

Also, I wouldn't say that Call of Duty 3 a bad game per se, it just makes it look bad when you compare CoD3 to 4 or even 2. Think of it this way, a normal hamburger is in no way bad, but hold it up to, say, a giant cheese-burger with fries, soda, and piled with the condiments of your choice. That plain 'ol burger starts to look pretty shitty by now. You start to notice the crusty-ness that the cheese might hide, how the lack of a drink means all that meat, while good in its own right, is going to make you awfully thirsty and how that bun doesn't have just the right amount of seeds.

My point is, all of you saying how much CoD3 is a steaming pile of.... Well, you know. You know it's really not. It's technically sound, the fighting is intense, the guns are, um, gun-ish. It's just a very average game in a family of greatness.

Now, if at this time you have any objections to my point (whatever that may be), just re-read my post again, only this time imagine Morgan Freeman is the one doing the talking, and you'll know I'm right.

 

[Dr_Baron_von_Evilsatan]

I could actually care less about the campaign. Yes, I'll play it, but I'll keep the game for the multiplayer. Since their keeping the perk system from COD4 while adjusting it for WWII and adding vehicles(possibly vehicle-based perks) I'm really excited to see what they can do. Of course if that sucks then there's no reason to keep the game and I'll trade it in after the flamethrower gets old.

Guys calm down CoD4 was not the first fps mad about modern times.(CS,Tom Clancy Games etc..)


P.S. CS totally pwens CoD4
