Poll: Did you skip COD's Single Player?

[Treblaine]

I played and liked all the CoD singleplayer except Black Ops, fuck when you're going around firing a long range shotgun with Dragon's Breath and you're bored out of your mind. You know that several people along the line fucked up.

It's like they decided to go for 50% more explosions and threw all semblance of pacing off several cliffs and into a sea with an oil coating which was then set alight by several carpet bombings.

You've nailed it, buddy. That's exactly how I felt, the game was completely soul-less and boring, it doesn't matter how things have changed on the surface it still PLAYS the same as COD4.

Black Ops gets off the a good start, assassinating not-Castro, sent to a Soviet gulag, meeting Resnov and executing a daring escape... then the game just falls flat.

It stinks of a game with a few good ideas forced to rush and pad itself out.

Frankly, if the COD games want to keep up the annual release (with alternating devs) they need to be MUCH less ambitious with the campaign if even bothering with one at all. Because the single player was just unpleasant to play through hoping it would get better.

I don't play COD, but I've skipped the campaign in Bad Company 2, because from what I'd played before it was horrible. A linear scripted corridor shooter, totally on rails. The multiplayer is the best I've ever experienced, but I really wasn't impressed by the single player from what I'd played of it.

 

[Zhukov]

Nah, I played the campaigns.

Although in retrospect I wish I hadn't. Utter tripe.

 

[Pontus Hashis]

Singel player and Splitscreen. Nothing more or less.

 

[Riff Moonraker]

I selected other, because I bought Modern Warfare 2 and played ONLY the single player and spec ops missions. I never, and still havent, played the multiplayer. Nor do I desire to.

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

It is and has always been my favorite part about the games. Unlike the MP, it's also something that is getting steadily better with almost every game in the series.

I played and enjoyed the Black Ops campaign. Lots of explosions, shooting etc...For me it was sever hours of fun, for my neighbors it was like the 3rd World War had started (250Watts of explosions and gunfire, I LOVED IT). To be honest, the single player campaign is the only thing I played in Black Ops, I wasn't interested in multiplayer.
I did play every CoD (single player campaign) that got released on PC, but to be honest, Black Ops was the only one that stood out and kept me playing it...dunno why, maybe coz of the explosions that took place every freakin' 3 seconds.


PS: The only multiplayer I tried and liked in the CoD franchise was in World At War, the co-op story campaign and nazi zombies with 3 of my friends...Lots of laughs and good times.

If you own CoD4 but haven't played CoD4's campaign... you don't deserve to live, you horrible, horrible creature.

 

[Serum211]

The last CoD singleplayer that i played through entirely was Modern Warfare 1. I liked it.
Tried to play MW2. I was bored out of my mind after a while.
By this point I just think the franchise is going downhill. Fast. Its just not intressting anymore. Not even the multiplayer.

 

[Soviet Steve]

Other - I played the singleplayer campaign, never touched the multiplayer as I have no interest in it. Yes I paid for MW2, no I will never buy another CoD product again.

 

[Woeps]

I have chosen the other option because i haven't (never mind owned) a call of duty game since the expansion for the first Call of Duty.

 

[Maiestas777]

I have a strange compulsion to beat the single-player of any game that offers it before I ever even touch the multi. I find it a great way to learn the little quirks that make the game different from others that I played...that, and I payed for it, why not play it.

If I start on multi, I will never return to single.

 

[nuba km]

I rent CoD in order to play the single player campaign as it is normally quite enjoyable but then I try the multiplayer and then I remember why I don't buy cod games because the multiplayer sucks.

 

[Mikeyfell]

I blinked and missed it.

sorry it had to be said.

I've been forced to sit through all of the CoD games because I had the poor judgment to say that the series started falling apart around the time that CoD 2 came out.

And low ans behold I was right about that The first CoD had a really nice Campaign that was about 9 hours long (If I recall) but it's been about 1 hour shorter every year after that to the point where I beat MW 2 in one sitting counting all of my stupid deaths. I think if I could go through Black Ops with out dying it would take me about 45 minutes. On hardcore. not Veteran. Veteran is fucked up.

 

[PxDn Ninja]

I pick up COD purely for the Single Player mode. I'll mess with MP some, but rarely stick with it long.

 

[Wushu Panda]

I have played all through a CoDs campaign when I get a new one, but that's almost entirely because I play on XBox and doing so is worth a few hundred player points. Otherwise I probly would have gotten bored enough to say "screw it" and leave it alone all together. The campaigns are always short and you're almost every time at a mexican stand off. In which case you just bounce between cover and firing until everyone is dead, no real tactical situations or challenges, just a matter of finding which cover to shoot from.

The only real fun I had outside of CoD multiplayer were the SpecOp missions.

 

[EvilMaggot]

download the game from pirate bay. play the singleplayer campaign through 3-4 times and delete the game again ^^

 

[Xariat]

wat? i play cod ONLY for the campain (exept for Cod4 mods like promod or galactic warfare) ive played cod 2,4,6, and BO on veteran, but i never gave a fuck about mw2s matchmaking or BOmp

 

[BrownGaijin]

On the contrary, I prefer to solely play Single Player.
