what the forget is so great about black ops

[Tokthree]

CoD United Offensive was, and still is, far better than any CoD game after it, I used to play it for 6-12 hours all day every day when I was a youngster, the never games can't hold my attention for more than two hours.
The problem with the newer games is that their story is based off hypothetical events in the theatre of war, which is a problem because that gives the designers mind room to wander which causes the story to be strange, twisted and overall not as interesting as the designer thought it would be.
However with the WW2 games the story is all there in paper, the designer just has to put some pretty models over that and it's like adding a new coat of paint to the Mona Lisa every four months to keep it pretty.

That is why I don't like the "Modern Warfare" phase of gaming

It's just good.

Don't like it? Don't play it forgettard.

/Agree

[ChexGuy331]

you forgot rainbow six games (not the vegas ones...)
and battlefield games (not the bad company ones...)
and duke 3d

Well, I was just giving a few examples.

It's just good.

Don't like it? Don't play it forgettard.

The question here isn't whether or not the game is worth playing, it's "why is the series so popular"? And while you gave an answer, you didn't actually support it with evidence. I don't think anybody could possibly take you seriously. Add to that you're being defensive when there's no reason to be. This isn't a personal attack on you.

"Why is Call of Duty so popular?"

"If you don't like it, don't play it, forgettard."

What?

[DrPepper]

Nobody worships it. It's a fun game that lots of people play, and it's new. Doesn't TF2 get boring for you guys at all? Or any Valve game I guess.

[Messes]

Seriously if you hate it you most likely suck at it. People need to stop complaining about killstreaks and overpowered weapons.

I have no problem with them whatsoever. Why? I can actually play the game, damnit.

Killstreaks, noobs, and overpowered weapons are NOT excuses. I have never complained about them once because

1: Killstreaks- The enemy team nevers gets them. Why? Because I can PREVENT that from happening by not letting them kill me and playing with people who are GOOD.

2: noobs- Play with FRIENDS. Yes, those people.

3: overpowered weapons- Find a weapon you like. If there are none, you suck. If people kill you with a certain weapon in specific, use it yourself. No one is preventing you from doing that.

I mean really, Obviously 20+ million people like it. Who cares if its hypothetical? Its fun. Is TF2 real? No. But it's insanely fun. I'm not saying the Call of Duty series is the BEST video game series in the world, because it's not. All I'm saying is that if you have a problem with it, it's most likely that you suck and come up with idiotic excuses like "Oh, too many campers and killstreaks!" Rush the damn campers or lob a grenade, and don't let the enemies KILL you.

Hurp hurp.

I hate when people complain about over powered weapons in games in general. The game developers put rocket launchers in the game in the first place for a reason. Sure it's easy to blow someone out of the sky with them. IF THEY AREN'T LOOKING. Heavier weapons are generally easy to dodge if your looking and don't use any stealth.

God yes, thank you!

I mean really, most heavy weapons in games have slow reloading and slow firing. Also, easy to dodge. If someone dies from someone with a weapon like that and complains it's overpowered, they seriously need to look into getting some skill.

[Cyanian]

Modern Warfare 2 was completely horrific. No doubt about it.

But Black Ops, it changes a man.

[Flying Ace]

you people should just shut the forget up



I hear more people complaining about people "worshiping it" then I actually see people "worshiping it" seriously you are just making bullstuff up - if you like a game and own it loving play it this isn't a war over which is best

[WhoDa?]

I don't like games that have such a rep that every last fool on the planet knows about it. I can't go out of my house without hearing every second teen talking about Call of Duty or Halo.
Never did I play that game but I don't even want to. I'll never want to play a game that is liked by everyone, don't know why but I just don't want to.

Let's get an example.. Team Fortress or even just the whole Half Life games and mods. No one talks about this stuff. None of the guys that I know who play FPS games know Half Life, Team Fortress, Quake or Doom at all! It's really just either CoD, CoD, CoD, Halo, Halo, Halo or even Medal of Honor.

Yeah. But sometimes heavy weapons sometimes still require some skill. Choosing where to shoot to do the most damage to the most people, getting the timings right so you aren't snipped while re-loading.

they were ported long afterward. halo is NOT a pc game.

halo is bad because its like YEARS behind the times for a shooter. even in its day it was slow.
game mechanics used 10 years earlier on pc shooters.

its only been recently that consoles have FPS's that arent just arcade games anymore. go figure they were PC franchises lol

how is it slow?

It's not amazing and revolutionary. It's a decent game and I like to shoot at things, that's pretty much it.

[Daedalus]

The game is fantastic.
The people who rave about it aren't.

Super Mario 64 was revolutionary.
First free-camera game I think.
