RUMOUR: Call of Duty 7: Black Ops? Zombies and Dedicated Servers?
- Thread starter Reno7728
- Start date
COD5 wasn't really a pleasant surprise. Me and my buddies would constantly bitch about how terrible it was as we played it online, talking about how IW wouldn't have done this, or that, etc, etc. It had COD4 to live up to and many people found it lacking.Cep said:

Well, it would be kind of a strange if they focused on automatic rifles considering the game took place in World War 2, wouldn't it? :lol

Modern Warfare 2 is a evolution of the Modern Warfare concept. Starting from perks, the somewhat changed aiming, the new customization abilities (akimbo?), the added killstreaks/deathstrakes mechanics and the vastly increased arsenal of available weapons it really felt like a new game to me.
W@W? Copy modern/paste old.

Are you aware of the fact that IW is a very, very small studio by today's standards and that they've always focused on high-end hardware. Asking them to devote their resources so platforms with very poor performance would be an awful decision considering they already run on very limited man-power resources.
And who the hell cares who ports a game? It's the core idea and execution that matters, porting is completely irrelevant if it either doesn't go beyond what the original game did or makes some kind of a breakthrough on the target platform, or, in the other case, goes completely wrong (see Bayonetta as an example of this).

Uhhh, what? I constantly see 500-600k+ players on PSN.

GTFO, seriously. MW2 doesn't even touch COD4, COD2 and 1.
MW2 is in the shit pile of COD games with COD3, WAW, Reflex and the PS2 ports.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
CoD4's 3xFrag spam was way more annoying than anything in MW2.

Yeah, I knew what you were doing. He didn't. :lol
The MW2 (or is it COD in general?) backlash is laughable. And I only see that amount of hate here. I can't sign onto 360 today without seeing multiple people playing it. In general, people love the game.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Don't get me wrong, I would never argue being disappointed with it or simply not liking it. But to call MW2 "complete shit" is such typical gamer hyperbole. You can not like Mario Galaxy but could you really call it "shit" and not be laughed out of a conversation?
It reminds me of the GTA4 backlash here. It was disappointing, sure, and in general I don't like the series. But I would never call it "shit" because that's just not true.
I look at it this way: Rogue Warrior is complete shit. To act as if MW2 is somehow in the same category as Rogue Warrior is an opinion that makes me embarrassed to be a gamer.

its doesn't have dedicated servers, so your opinion is wrong.
and seems like the people who made IW what it was are all gone anyway.

Why are you being so unfair to WaW? It had a completely different set of weapons from MW...yes, it had to because it was WW2, but it's still a significant difference that had to be completely rebalanced. It added some more perks, changed the 7 kill killstreak, and tried to rebalance some of the old ones from MW that everyone hated(like martydom).
It also added nazi zombies which by itself made a lot of people buy the new map packs even if they never actually played the new maps, they just did it for more nazi zombies. MW2's advancements are not any more significant than these are, deatstreaks and the callsigns are cool ideas but in the end aren't significant to gameplay. Akimbo felt really tacked on along with Tanks in WaW, the next CoD could remove the feature and I wouldn't notice.
Oh, WaW also had campaign co-op which MW2 didn't even have.

Do you think it's normal to compare a game from 2003 made on god knows how much slower hardware to a game from 2009?
If you're comparing games from the same series, you have to use a different kind of criteria.
For example, if we compare how influential each of the IW's games were in their time frames, Call of Duty 4 would probably be #1.

OK, let's just agree that we disagree.

Yeah I would, COD1 is a better game than COD6, sure the graphics are different, but the campain was amazing and better structured than that dudebro america fuck yeah piece of crap.

Being a sniper is so fucking annoying in MW2 because of that shit. :lol
You kill one guy and the game just can't help but to throw up all that stupid "AVENGER, LONG RANGE, HEAD SHOT, ONE SHOT ONE KILL" on top of all the other crap that's already overloading the screen. The game doesn't worry about being fun or interesting to play anymore, it just wants to completely overload the user at all times.

Lagspike_exe vs GAF, indeed.
You're on a one-sided argument, my friend. Your posts are so hypocritical, it's not even worth arguing with you. Calling W@W copy/paste and calling MW2 evolution is fucking laughable but I ain't going to waste my breath and laugh at this shit...
I said I'm done here but damn... your invalid counterargument keeps on bringing me to this thread!

i was hoping the title was referring to the entire game having zombies and monsters and shit. Like you play as a special super secret govt' unit thats been around for a hundred years quietly defeating zombie, alien and monster uprisings throughout time. That zombie outbreak in Vietnam during the war, for example.

CoD4 > CoD1/UO > WaW > CoD2 > Ever other CoD Game.
I played CoD competitively for over a year back in 10th grade. I've yet to do that with any other game. It was great. CoD2 could be fun but they really messed up the pacing and cheating was a LOT more prevalent so I didn't stick with it for long (also, it was a pretty unoptimized engine). CoD4 addressed all these issues and pretty much perfected the formula they had going. The maps were great and aside from the whole AK and desert eagle thing, the weapons felt pretty balanced. MW2 has TERRIBLE maps, there are only handful of good/great ones (Favela, Sub Base and thats about it). Hardcore mode feels somehow worse than it did in CoD4 where I actually enjoyed it. Killstreaks are ridiculous so every game feels like a race for one instead of a reward for playing well. Map level exploits are rampant and quite a few of the perks reward behavior that shouldn't be catered to in what is primarily a team based shooter (lone wolfing, camping...).

BF1942 > MOH:AA > COD:UO.
Everyone who argues against this is WRONG!
EDIT: Drats! I meant 1942.

I tried that a few months ago and couldn't find a server with a good enough ping. UO had even worse results. COD2 is still top notch and far better than the redesign of the series that started with MW1. Cover was far more important and added a whole new level of gameplay. Plus COD2 still has tons of mods and custom maps which add a ton of replayability to the MP. UO will always be my favorite though cause it kept the original COD gameplay, but added a ranking system, larger redesigned maps, new weapons and little things like sprint, cookable nades, and satchel charges. It's kinda funny cause a lot of the things people love about MW1 were taken straight from UO (even though IW kept a lot of those features out of COD2). The only downside was that you couldn't throw nades back which is one of my favorite things about the redesign of the franchise.ZZMitch said:

Me vs. GAF? All I see are some people bashing MW2 and calling fucking Treyarch better developer than IW.
If I had the time and will, which I don't, I would compile the list of games of each dev and their respective metacritic/gameranking scores. That would be quite amusing stuff to read. :lol

Personally I spend MORE time in AA than 1942. AA was insanely fun and I was part of league tournaments for that shit! MOH:AA all the fucking way, baby!!

Can't be MW2. I see no hallway for that RPDG (Rocket Propelled Door GuarderTM) to be watching. Also there's no heart beat sensor on it!Lunchbox said:TreyArse lovers playing MW2 -
go back to shooting mp40s you nubs
And so this thread has turned into a debate on whether MW2 is shit or not.
Mind you, I'm not going to buy another COD game again, mostly because of MW2. It's unbalanced as fuck. No need to go over everything (perks, killstreaks, glitching, the fact that killstreaks make people camp in the third bathroom stall in a random corner in order to kill random people who walk by)
Though, it'll be interesting to see what Treyarch does next.
