Hello all. would you please tell me why you like or dont like Call of Duty, yur favorite one, why u liked it or why u hated it, thoughts, felling, if u play in a party, solo, what ever you feel would be nice.
I liked the story of black ops, doesn't matter if it was rather linear where you just had to get from point A to point B, I liked how they crossed of the Russian guy from World At War to Black Ops. And how Mason became Demented.
The multiplayer for me is Nyeh.
Zombies is the other part of the game I liked.
and everything here is, of course, my opinion on Black ops.
Anyways, I enjoyed it because my friends played it and its actually a rather robust first person shooter. I don't play it anymore because, like most things, I got bored with it. The single player was great in Modern Warfare, WaW and MW2. The first two CoD's had fantastic campaigns as well. The others were meh inducing.
To answer your question, i am trying to understand as to why so many people play it, and why it is the game that really most people who are not willing to admit that they play video games will openly admit to it. For me video games are something i have done my entire life and now i want to understand them. I remember when i was in elementary and i got poked fun at for finishing ocarina of time and then people would come and ask me how i beat a boss or something like that. I hope that helps.
I like the good ones. You know, CoD 1-3 and United Offensive. Ah, those were great. They still are, in fact! Think I'm gonna reinstall CoD 1 right now and have myself a good time with the SINGLE PLAYER campaign! Oh yeah.
I liked pretty much everyone one I've played...which is basically all the ones with a number on it. I haven't played any of the expansions, like big red one, but all the ones I've played have all been good.
I enjoy pretty much all the Call of Duty's even the *gasp* Multiplayer :O I like it because of its smooth and fast gameplay, and its heavy customization
I enjoy how fluent and smooth it feels compared to most games, multiplayer wise I'd say my favorite would be cod 3, as that was the last where fun was all that matter, and before m16s showed up.
What I really hate is the developers inability to balance certain guns, like anything burst fire [yes, 3 shots with no recoil or spread on one pull of the trigger is a fantastic idea...] and the mp40 shambles from waw.
I also hate how it's going in an arcade swing. I blame MW2 for that, which is by far the worst.
The following is based off of my single player experiences. I've literally only played two round of online multiplayer in CoD 4, and I didn't care for it.
The first Call of Duty game I played was actually Finest Hour, which was the series' first foray onto consoles (Xbox, Gamecube & PS2 at the time). Next I tried CoD2, followed by CoD4.
The World War II ones were enjoyable. It seemed like the series was continuing the innovation that the Medal of Honor series should have been doing at the time. That franchise had lost its spark sometime around MoH: Frontline, and was stagnating with no real changes. It was clear that the Call of Duty franchise wasn't afraid to try new things, and I appreciated it for that.
Then Call of Duty 4 rolled around, the last worthwhile installment in the series for me. Though I'm not usually a fan of modern military settings in games, CoD 4 presented it in an exciting and cinematic fashion that really made it resonate more than your typical shooter. The big plot twist in the middle where
The nuke goes off and you control the last fleeting moments of your character's life as he dies of radiation exposure
was particularly gripping. If there's one major complaint I had, it's that the campaign was a bit short (but then, most CoD games suffer from this).
Unfortunately the series fell into the same pitfall that Medal of Honor got itself into: it stopped innovating. I didn't buy Modern Warfare 2, but a friend brought his copy over one day. We played a bit of campaign and co-op, and I was disheartened by the lack of new story or gameplay mechanics. It didn't help that a few of the co-op maps were incredibly lazy: they had literally taken some of the campaign maps from CoD4, reversed them, and changed the enemy spawns and hoped players wouldn't notice! Moreover, it was pretty clear even in the short time I played it that the campaign was even shorter than previous games in the series. I had already decided to start boycotting Activision by this time anyway (because Bobby Kotick is a dickhead), so I wouldn't have bought MW2 even if I thought it was the best game ever.
COD4 was the game that really exposed me to the possibilities of scripted events and sparked my imagination on what they could do.
Modern Warfare 2 continued to have fun with that aspect, albeit by sacrificing beleivability.
Black Ops was an incoherant mess that did nothing new and looked as graphically impressive by comparison as Jurassic Park action figure next to a real live Tyrannosaurus.
CoD 4's single-player was fun, but the multiplayer is filled with campers and people who use martyrdom.
Black Ops single-player was also fun, the multiplayer was decent, but I just stick with Zombies now. There aren't enough maps for how short the games are, though.
