Why do people hate Treyarch?

[Not G. Ivingname]

Because they make the world's most popular game.

Actually, that is truer then you think. With so many players, the game has so many people who find and complain about the tiniest of flaws as full blown deal breakers :/

Honestly, the only bad thing I can say about treyarch itself ( not Black ops, mind you ) is that they're just so..... plain. They just take what IW does and tweak it a bit.

Why would you mess with a formula that works?

Because if you don't, you get the exact same game, over, and over, and over.

...I don't think you understand how business works. They're in this to make money. If they keep making the same good game over and over, and people buy it, then that's what they're going to do. They don't care that they're just remaking the same game.

That's totally not my point?

Well then what is your point?

I hate whoever runs the multiplayer servers because they seemed to simply dumpster dive in EA's garbage and drag out their worn out BF2 servers.

Hooray for going around a corner, shooting a guy 15 times and then dying to his 1 bullet latency issues!

That's totally not my point?

Well then what is your point?

........ I think I explained that fairly well with my first reply to you.

Getting the same game over and over?

I said, that's a result of business strategy. Look at Madden, Final Fantasy. Developers don't deviate from formulas that work. You're criticizing Treyarch for taking the proven IW formula and being successful with it, but that's exactly their intent. Why would they bother taking a risk and changing things up which will probably end up with a flop, when they can basically just tweak the IW setup and end up with a good game that's going to make them a lot of money? It seems silly to criticize a company for doing what is in the company's best interests.

Because they had a lot of sales.

For me personally it's mostly how stubborn they are and their refusal to really admit when IW did something better than them (engine, titles, the list goes on).

But mostly because it is the most current Call of Duty.

I don't hate Treyarch, but their cod games feel like stuff made by people who just want to cash in on someone (the now deceased infinity ward) else's work that was popular. The games are very dull.

No, this isn't fanboyism, I got tired of modern warfare 2 quick but cod 4 is, by comparison a more fun game than cod 5 (my opinion).

I thought the PC single player on the PC version of Black Ops was pretty enjoyable, my favorite campaign in the series since 4.

The multiplayer on the other hand, is a buggy piece of shit, and Treyarch has been taking their time making map packs instead of fixing bugs.

 

[Elamdri]

Yes, it's in the company's best interest, but that doesn't not make it total garbage.

Black Ops was not total garbage as you put it. It was not particularly innovative and the story was bad, but it wasn't a bad game. It may not be the best game ever, but there certainly was a lot of stuff released in 2010 that was worse than Black Ops:

Army of Two: The 40th Day
MAG
White Knight Chronicles
Dante's Inferno
Nier
Naughty Bear
Crackdown 2
Kane and Lynch 2
Ninty-Nine Nights 2

Just to name a few.

The only thing Treyarch brought to the field is Nazi Zombies (which isn't even that good) and having every single one of their weapons feel the exact same. I liked MW2 in the fact that if you needed acurracy, you'll pull out a scar-h. If you needed power you'd bring in a Tar-21. If you need speed you'd get your ACR or F2000. In Black Ops, there is no difference in weapons. You'd go do your job just as efficiently when using an Enfield as you would using the famas or the galil or the aug.

Because the suck at making patches to PC. They take forever and doesn't change a thing. After the first patch to make the game run smoother i just ended up lagging more.

 

[Sejs Cube]

but all they get is flax from the community.

That's because the community knows that it's very important to get enough fiber in your diet.

And we care.

 

[Vidiot]

Wow... what a spectacular flame war. I can feel the hate oozing from both sides on this one. Excellent work. Anyway, OT: I only dislike Black Ops because it was a mediocre game that was hailed as the BEST GAME EVER TO EXIST EVAR!

Just the same as MW2, Halo 2 and 3, and a dozen games I've probably missed. Idiots are gullible, and when your friends are playing it's easier to have fun with a pile of shit than playing alone on a mountain of diamonds. Besides, it set off my cynicism by being yet another game pandering to the "USA! We're better because we're AMERICA! F*CK YEAH!" crowd.

That's the demographic it targets, but those are precisely the people I avoid as much as possible so I guess I owe a thank you to Treyarch for keeping douchebags away from the games I play online.
