Poll: So I said COD was terrible, now my entire school shunned me

[Secret world leader (shhh)]

Wait, wait wait. They said the orange box sucks?

Indeed, kill them with fire.

Alternatively, saw their fingers off with a very sharp spoon. That'll teach 'em.

But that wont kill them!

But they would have to live the rest of their lives, Hearing of the new COD's "greatness" every year which they would only be able to watch, Never to play another game, never pwn another noob, never get a huge kill streak or even play the campaigns.

...just watching,passively observing,and for them, that would be a fate orse than death by fire.

Your school is clearly full of nobs. I personally have been playing COD since the first one, unlike the majority of kids today who have started on the ones above COD 4. Whenever people talk to me about COD I basically just say I'm bored of it after playing it for so long and it just hasn't changed much since 4, and they just say fair enough.

So I was talking with my buddies about games during class and they brought up COD, much to my dismay. I immediately said "Ugh I can't stand that game," and left it at that. Well, little did I know that an ever growing shit storm was coming my way. My friends would tell their friends that would tell their friends etc that I hated COD. Now I'm receiving messages and from people listing games from my game history and they're going "Assassin's Creed sucks, The Orange Box sucks, Sid Meier's Pirates sucks" so on and so forth. People call me retarded and lame for not liking it. Am I the one with the problem or does my school need to be purged?

well i dont like black ops either. If ur "friends" r really berating u on ur choice of games then i suggest getting better friends. Also i didnt like orange box all that much, i only enjoyed portal. i didnt like half life nor did i like team fortress 2. Now ill back away slowly before the angry mob approaches demanding my head

Could we set fire to them a tiny bit any way, nothing lethel, just owwy!

Yeah, it's pretty obvious he's exaggerating. Ever heard of teen angst? Either way this'll pass, and they'll find something else to be butthurt about. Also, you REALLY need to change the title of this thread, some of your friends =/= the whole school.

 

[Death God]

Well, I hate to say it but if it was your friends who started it, they are dicks. I've never preferred CoD myself but nobody at my school hates me for it. It's all about likes and CoD just isn't my "cup-of-tea" so your school needed to clam some asses there.

Use fire a lot of fire

What times would these be? General features of the GotY lists I've seen so far have been God of War III, Halo: Reach and Mass Effect 2. Apart from the editor's picks on this site that is.

 

[Mr. Socky]

I'm homeschooled, so only my opinion counts. I do enjoy CoD, though. I've probably put in more than 400 hours between various games in the series. I'm guessing this lines up with "Obsessive" rather than enjoyment, but whatever.

 

[The Random One]

Write an article on why CoD sucks, sell it to the Escapist, get paid for it. Laugh in their faces. Get a hot girlfriend and speed away in a sports car.

Adjust previous plan as to your own personal abilities.

look at G4 (neither was there), or even TIME's top 5 games, BlOps wasn't there
im sue if i looked around more i could find more examples, but i think that's significant enough

TIME was the one everyone on here went apeshit about because ME2 wasn't at the top, right? I remember that.

As for G4, never heard of it. I'll google search.

 

[Westaway]

Somehow I convinced my friends that CoD sucks, and they agree with me now. I didn't even mean to do it. But they still buy all the games. Whatever.

 

[Jester00]

that can't happen to me, not one of my friends know cod.

 

[Staskala]

Don't you usually get shunned for expressing an extreme liking for a video game, especially a FPS?
At least that's how I remember it, talking about games outside of LANs was a no-go.

Kids these days...

 

[vodkainferno]

It does seem a bit extreme, but you did openly diss CoD in front of people who obviously enjoy it.
Its like denoucing god in a church mass in a southern US state, you don't do it.

Edit: Playing Devils advocate here.

 

[bak00777]

i hate when people talk about CoD so much. Almost every guy at my university plays it, i stopped liking CoD after MW2. Everytime someones asks if i play it i say "No, i play battlefield Bad Company 2, because its a far better game." Its rly sad how people think its the best series out there.
