Let me start off by saying that COD4 was AMAZING. I loved every aspect of it. <3 Infinity Ward.
But this game... Oh forget no. Where do I begin? Well I slammed the disk in the drive and started it up, excited to play a new COD, after how awesome COD4 was. First, I saw the Treyarch logo. "Meh" I said, as I continued to the story mode....
3 Hours, 4 Levels later: What the forget is this stuff?
Treyarch, you loving handicaps. You have bad writers, lazy coders, and horrendous testers. Honestly, this is loving awful. I mean, god DAMN this story loving sucks. Who are these guys and why should I care? Am I supposed to be angry that he's almost died? Well, I don't know because your WRITING IS AWFUL. In COD4 we met the characters, got to know them and their position, they were relevant. When Price died, it was a sad moment because you had just played through the war with him, and he didn't make it. But now, who the forget are these characters and WHY THE stuff SHOULD I CARE? That's the question that you're supposed to answer. When the sarge died, I didn't even know it. It was the second level and I didn't even know what the forget was going on. Furthermore, I didn't care. They tried to make it seem awesome with slow motion but that just irritated the stuff out of me. Next, who is this Russian guy, and why can't I just kill all the Krauts and their general? NOOOOOOOOOO, WE HAVE TO RUN AROUND AND WAIT FOR HIM TO BE OUTSIDE AGAIN. Even when you kill him, there's no sense of accomplishment. You're being rained down upon by fire so it's not like you can watch your bullet go to work. It doesn't even explain who this guy is either. I mean god damnit it's so loving lazy. I don't even want to play the storyline any more. It's just demoralizing and not fun. Oh, and the AI? Absolute SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIT. THEY STAND AROUND DOING NOTHING. THEY COULD BE ABSENT AND IT WOULDN'T CHANGE A THING. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION THEY HAVE GOTTEN ME KILLED. Oh and ANOTHER THING: The grenade danger indicator is loving useless. It doesn't tell you if the grenade is lethal. Actually, it does just that. As long as it's on your screen, you're forgetED. The radius is like 2 feet so even if it's faded out you're not safe. Now how about Multiplayer? Well, being the lazy bastards they are, it's the same. COD4 with WW2 weapons superimposed. That's not really a bad thing, it's still fun, but it's so lazy. The only improvement is tanks. Oh, and the best part of the game? national socialist Zombies. Yeah, loving awesome right? Well to unlock it you have to beat the campaign, but as far as I'm concerned, it's not worth it to torture myself for it. Not even for Zombies. Last complaint: The soundtrack. Just awful. THere's like some loving Techno beat in the background. What the forget? I expect theme music, the sound of an orchestra and maybe even the stolen Battlefield theme because it's so awesome. Just a loving awful selection.
I rate this game a 2/5, because Multiplayer is fun, Zombies are awesome, but Treyarch should be destroyed.
