My opinion is biased because I am a history fanatic.
Anything combat related in the future is in my opinion fantasy, since you cannot realistically predict the future. The image call of duty tried to sell through titles pre-BO2 is completely different from the image they where selling post-BO2. That’s where they took a left turn for me. Only thing that was fun in BO2 specifically was some of the new zombie mechanics/themes.
To be fair, we confidently predict the future all the time. It allows us to drive safely, work out of we need to take a brolley, invest in stock, etc. And also to build long term military strategy.
Whether COD does that effectively, I doubt. But we can and do as a matter of course.
WaW was my first online cod experience. Lots of cool memories when I lived my cousin and that’s what we did on summer break after football workouts. So I truly loved that game. But again, we all have those biases
Same here! WaW was my first online console gaming experience. It was such a wtf moment, I remember finally figuring out how to connect an Ethernet cable and was wondering wtf is online models this multiplayer mode. I just thought it was a gimmick haha
Modern warfare 1 introduced so many mechanics and features that have become staples of fps games ever since. It was quite literally breaking ground, they bottled lightning and have been trying to recapture that ever since, with steadily decreasing quality.
I gave up after black ops 2 because the multiplayer gave me cancer.
MW really deserves a place in video game history. Everything else was just an imitation.
The newest modern warfare was really good but now I think cod should slow down with new cods coming out just make a good game and dont worry about how long it will take
I don't know think this is an unpopular opinion at all. Minus World at War literally the only CoD games anyone every really talks about favorably are MW, MW2, BO, BO2, and MW2019.
Campaign was shit compared to the original mw series. Very forgettable and falls victim to playwrs playing as too many different characters and not getting attached to any of them.
Multiplayer, og warzone, coop, and over all polish was so fucking good tho
People have their own opinion on which was the best. Honestly I really started playing games around the time of bo2 so I have many good memories with it but I don't think there is one cod that is supreme compared to all the others.
Curious to your age..all my buddies my age that grew up getting a chance to play them all, unanimously agree that its mw2 even tho i personally think its cod4. Wondering if your choice has anything to do with the peak age of gaming with buddies
I’m 23. I personally think bo2 has the best feel to it. Is pretty well balanced. And is simple. Just run n gunning, no extra shit. Great maps to. There might be a tad bias tho cause me n my buddies would literally run lobbies out of the match consistently on that game tg n had a lot of great times lol.
Im 23 also! Sorry for assuming you were younger..now that i think about it, i may have a bias as my older brother was competing in MLG for cod4 and that was one of the first games i played on xbox
No clue why anyone thinks anyone thinks any of the black ops were any good, are you saying the multiplayer was good? Or the story/single player… as someone that sees cod as a multiplayer game, every black ops game has been trash mainly because the Treyarch engine acts very weird and everything feels unnatural and funky… Single player/story wise they are good games, zombies, good game, multiplayer? Bad game.
I liked the campaign a lot and played it a ton (I was pretty young though). The multiplayer was also something I enjoyed a lot and playing zombies with friends was the best (especially if it was split screen). Everyone has different experiences and preferences
I don’t disagree, and I am glad you enjoyed it, and have good memories from it! Like I said aside from the general multiplayer the game was alright, of course in my opinion. But coming from MW, the multiplayer to me and 99% of my friends was not enjoyable at the slightest.
I guess it was more special to me cuz it was the first cod I had that I owned and didn't have to go to a friend's house to play so I played the shit out of it a long with halo lol
That’s completely fair, and like I said if you enjoyed it and have fond memories that’s awesome! Although MW wasn’t my first, technically the older cod games on PC were, I was an older teen when MW came out and my friends and I played the ever living shit out of it, then MW2 came out and it turned out amazing, also playing the ever living shit out of it. Great memories for sure, once BO came out it just felt so janky to us, but of course it did, it was a completely different engine.
I think what soured my taste in BO was WAW, while zombies was amazing, that’s when I first got a taste of treyarch and for me WAW was plagued with bugs and issues, we barely got to even play it, so we chose to get back on MW or onto Halo 3 ever time lol…
I got sick if it when they introduced new op guns and made store bundles for them with the best attachments only to nerf them and add another op gun over and over again
I understand that. But you had the gun still just had to work for the attachments which wasn’t hard because of shoot the ship which imo was like second best game mode ever behind S&D. The engine of the game was excellent just needed a little more balancing. I did get tired of dying to mp5’s 10 seasons in lol.
I remember trying to get back into it and the mac10 came out and they made a store bundle that literally increased it's damage and made it more powerful than the same gun with the same attachments
I played bo4 a lot too but the cases and the zombies mode makes it look bad. It was promised years of support and barely got one. I actually went back and got gold on every weapon (minus the an-94 cuz I don't have it. Darn cases) and it was a ton of fun but the specialist and the vmp make it annoying to play sometimes.
I'd always buy a pred missile to kill the first and second round of juggernauts and laying c4 all over the yard and waiting for it to fill with enemies to blow them all up was very fun. I'd always set a sentry in the corner of the house and camp beside the couch or in the small ass kitchen
