Chew Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I've had a night to sleep on my thoughts from above lol. I realize that I've become a Battlefield grump and am rusty when it comes to COD. But after thinking about it again, many of my opinions remain. MW, MW2, BO1, BO2, MW3, COD Ghosts, Advanced Warfare etc....they were all "pure shooters" as far as an FPS goes, even though Advanced Warfare had some futuristic stuff. But thesespecial abilities in Black Ops 3 have officially taken the COD franchise from "simplistic shooter with killstreaks" to more of a "fantasy arcade" type of FPS. I know with as many CODs as there have been, developers have run out of ideas with past and present themes, so now we're into the "futuristic"editions of COD....which is where the special abilities come in. Really bad idea, IMO. Some of the special abilities almost look like Mortal Kombat finishing moves. I get that the target market for Call of Duty is 12-20 years olds, but the way developers keep adding more and more flashy gimmicks to appeal to these teenagers' short attention spans, ...it's ruining the franchise. I'd much prefer the MW2 style of play, but it seems like the "old style" feel of Call of Duty games is gone forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont Taze Me Bro Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 I watched some of Drift0r's live stream from yesterday, he was wall running LIKE CRAZY. Oh my damn, it looked SO cheesy. I literally had to squint and close my eyes like I was watching a horror movie. He could run around the entire map running on walls ONLY. I mean, okay, you can't run and gun on them, but I can see people getting the timing down where they're jumping off like spiderman and capping people in the top of their heads. And the double-jumping ability just adds to this whole "high flying" revolution COD seems to be under. Man, who ever lobbied for this ****? Nobody. No COD player in their right mind ever said, "you know, this game needs wall running and super jumps". Now, it could be cool and useful in the long run, I just think it's ridiculous looking from afar. The S&D I knew was 7 rounds max, so the most deaths you could have an entire game was 7. They change the format of S&D??? Maybe I was in TDM.......it was midnight, I was tired, had knocked a few beers back. Come to think about it, I never found anything to search and destroy though I was looking for it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreatBuzz Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I was debating if I wanted to get this game or not. I don't get nearly as much time to play as I would like. So I decided to wait and see what people here said before I spent the money. After reading this, I think I will pass. Guess I will stick to BF.

I'll be on Star Wars in a few weeks if you're going to get that. yeah, pretty disappointed in this game. They've simply gone way too far with the "extra" stuff. But we paid $100 for it, so we're going to play the crap out of it LOL. This is crap. Boom. Man, who ever lobbied for this ****? Nobody. No COD player in their right mind ever said, "you know, this game needs wall running and super jumps". Boom. Bullets, explosives, and killstreaks. that's all we want from COD. If I wanted wall-running, jet packs, invisibility cloaks, and "earthquake swords" (gravity spikes lol), I'd go play Killzone, Halo, or Titanfall.

Chew Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Now my mission is to prove Chew wrong. that's never very difficult lol. hey man, maybe it'll grow on me. But as a guy that's been playing COD since MW2 in 2009, this game feels nothing like the COD games from 5-6 years ago. Night and day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Read up a little bit on Specialist abilities. From what I've gathered, they're basically like the support streaks from MW3, where dying doesn't matter, you eventually get them no matter what. Only once a match, but still, they look super useful. It reminds me of how the rolling thunder was a support streak in MW3, and everybody besides the squeekiest of squeekers HATED it. How didn't COD learn? They've really been unbelievably bad at listening to feedback. Now you have that same kind of overpowered gimme-****, in 8 different forms. I can tell you right now, if I was running hot, and an enemy finally reached his specialist ability at 10-28, then used it to abruptly end my streak, I'd take the disc out and take a leak on it. C'mon son, enough coddling the children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont Taze Me Bro Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 I've read media reviews all over the place. The huge knock in media reviews is it is lacking in story/single player, but all of them give it good multiplayer/co-op reviews. The gaming community seems to be giving it **** reviews based on the lack of HC Dom and HC CK, which we should, cause that makes no ****ing sense. Played a regular Domination match........7 and 22 K/D I hate the mini-map, ****ing hate it. Went up to a camper hiding behind a rock, died 3 times trying to kill him. One time, he popped up and I unloaded 6 bullets, into his face, but he lived and killed me. Went another route, got behind him and unloaded a full clip on his punk ass. Was trying out sniper rifles, etc. Not really trying to play objectives, but looking for a feel of the game. I think I can get into it, even with all its flaws. Lets face it, we knew it wasn't going to be as cool as Battlefront anyhow, that comes out in 11 days lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont Taze Me Bro Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 Played my 3rd match, regular domination. Went 16-13 this time. I have to convince myself I'm only rank 3, have just unlocked one reddot scope and gun. Adjusted my play style to fit the mini-map, basically make sure I'm crouched 70-75% of the time so I don't show on their map. Sprint, crouch, walk around, kill repeat. It's slowly growing on me. Still has the "**** you" mechanics of basically all CoD games lol. Some dude killed me from across the screen with a pistol. I'm thinking/hoping they are relevant this edition of the game and it's not a fluke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Yeah man, I think before you can truly judge a COD, you have to unlock everything. Your pet gun might be waiting for you at a high rank. The "Ghost" perk (whatever it's called now) is always a must-have in at least one of your classes. See what happens when you combine a silencer on your favorite gun with ghost, your favorite perks, and the best streaks you can attain in the majority of games you play. These dudes who've been sweating buckets and drinking 16 oz cans of rocket fuel since midnight last night simply have an upper hand. They are using better **** than you. Not to say the game isn't still bunk, but it's very difficult to judge it until you A) memorize the intricacies of the maps and unlock everything.

Event_Horizon Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 My step-son was a little mad / upset / teary ( he is 11 / sixth grader) when I told him of my decision after he got home from school to pass on this title. Then he went to his buddy's house and played it for awhile. He gets home and says, "Dad you were right that game sucks hard." I said, "Dont worry son... FO4 comes out Tuesday and you got BF in 10 days." Sometimes parenting just makes you smile. EDIT: O Codeorama... his name is Liam like your son I believe.
