Remember when Call of Duty was fun.

It was fun to level up

It was fun to play

It wasn't pay to win/play

Shit like this

What happened other than Activision getting greedy?

last good cod SP was MW2

last good cod MP was MW

MW2's MP started all the cancer

IIRC:
- Peer-to-peer match hosting
- special/custom PC features, like "support for keyboard and mouse"
- removed the console (then removed the game source code entirely for it when people modded/hacked the game ti enable it)
- removed dedicated servers
- removed ability to have mods (inline with no dedicated servers)
- removed ability to see your ping
- P2P hosting gave host advantages and allowed host networking exploits

git off my /v/, now
>>
I did not believe when MW fags said "wait a few years until people are nostalgic for MW2"
But go figure, it's real.

Get fucked. "Leveling" in Cod was fucking stupid. There's no reason to lock weapons and perks behind that shit. "Lel, play 200 hours if you want all the good stuff".
Fucking millenials.

I miss playing COD4 zombies mod, not the one with the static models that would glide across the floor but the "zombie madness" where you had limited ammo and if you died then you became a zombie with only a knife
or that other mod where all the zombies had classes and special abilities.

That star wars mod was pretty cool too.

MW1 came out what, like 2005?
11 years ago. Those kids who plagued XBL are now 18 and 19 and it's "nostalgic"

Kind of scary to imagine spending your entire childhood playing on one console though.

ninja defuses aren't impressive since they are only possible if the offensive team are idiots. you're supposed to remain near the bomb site after planting, not run off and look for more kills like a shithead.

That's what everyone is hoping for with the remaster but if no one wants to get Infinite Warfare then barely anyone is going to play it
>>
>>340640523
Oh yeah:

- 9v9 max match size (but IIRC, only for a couple special "playlists"
- single handedly spawned the term "Modern Warfail"
- the goddamned playlists
- DLC bifurcating the player base
- stupid trash IW.NET
- so bad that they brought dedicated servers back for MW3... In the form of renting them from Activision partners. IIRC

So bad, that when Black Ops announced they still had traditional servers/hosting, it was practically considered a "feature"
>>
>>340638819
CoD was never good, except for 1 and 2.
>>
by the time they've released this everybody who was not a brainless casual are already disillusioned with the series
>>
>>340641914
Its not going to be even if its a carbon copy of CoD4 because the community went to shit years ago and now mostly consists of tryhard MLG kiddies.
>>
>>340639618
Blops 2 single player was great though
>>
Had they taken a slower approach (maybe a CoD every two or three years) and been less jewey with the DLC then they would receive less hate. I can kinda understand why people would hate them for not changing their game but dint fix what ain't broke.
That being said I haven't touched CoD since Black Ops so I probably am lacking some information with the latest.
>>
>>340642223
it's always been tryhard MLG kiddies, ever since CoD 2 released on consoles. nV was the big team back then, i don't know who it is now, but it's probably not that different.
>>
>>340641741

Actually take that back their jewness and yearly release is what made them millions (probably hit a billion).

>>
>>340641958
LMAOOOO I forgot this gem too:
"MW2 isn't balanced for lean."

The fuck was that?

Also with the P2P networking, people had a hell of a time with NAT networking issues and high ping.

Also, the game still had a shittonne of hackers even though all this they said was to stop it. In reality, it just left players powerless since dedicated server admins couldn't kick/ban players anymore.

First failure was CoD3, if we won't count weird spinoffs. While I also consider MW2 the game that fucked up CoD forever, it was a critical and commercial success and probably 1st or 2nd popular cod ever (after MW3)

this is bait, right? RIGHT? MODS

Reminder that we are getting mod tools for black ops 3 this fall, so there is absolutely no reason to buy new cod games for at least two years.

I loved running around with a bayonet in WaW.

careful now, they said with black ops that we'd have mod tools and then it turned out to not include a map editor.

MW2 is when the series became based around chaining killstreaks together, and when quickscoping got introduced. If you can't look back and see that's when the cancer started, you didn't play MW or you're dumb.
>>
>>340645003
>quickscoping got introduced in mw2
wrong, it originated in cod2. MW2 just made it a lot fucking easier because of the perk that let you look down your scope faster.
>>
>>340644891
It's already in closed beta and map editor is there. Check pcdev's twitter

don't forget you literally could not avoid entire teams of hackers with the stupid matchmaking near the end of the game's life
>>
>>340638819
Are you fucking kidding? This type of shit was the beginning of the end.

NO SCOPEZ
NO 360 COMPLY
NINJA DEFUSE

MW2 was fucking awful compared to the first. COD4 was the best because while fairly popular it had none of that cancer and was just a good game that blew up the franchise, fuck all you kiddies that jumped in and ate trick plays up while boosting your sensitivity to 9 because you think it makes you pro.
>>
>>340638819

It never wasn't, you shitty underaged retard, but pat yourself on the back, you're the reason this is the state of the industry.

>>340643937
How mad are you that someone who has more money than you can afford the luxuries of life?

Call of Duty has literally always been a slowed down arena shooter. CoD 4 is fucking garbage without Promod and MW2 is fucking garbage without banning 90% of the games content.

CoD 2 was the last cod playable without extreme overhauls with mods.
>>
>>340646391

you're not even old enough to have played MW1. Go fuck yourself, kiddo

Except for the part where I've literally been to promod lans.

Vanilla cod4 console players are the casuals that ruined gaming.

>>340639674
He is not wrong, MW2 was a lot of fun because the MP was retarded.

>That roaring sound every time you did anything

Mw2 was fun, because at the time it was unique, and it was unique because IW did not bother to tune up the game as they were keking Activision with EA. Never before a clearly broken game ever had an audience of millions, so people kept playing despite all the flaws, and there were many.

That said only W@W and COD4 were any good. The rest practically tried to imitate Mw2 unironically, and that is why they are shit.
>>
>>340646782
COD4 vanilla was great and it had the best maps by far. Playing on computer or console doesn't really matter either unless you're playing competitive and if you're doing that just kill yourself.
>>
>>340647230
CoD 4 vanilla was garbage. Its literally only playable with promod.
>>
>>340646679
>CoD 2 was the last cod playable without extreme overhauls with mods.
This.

MW2 was fun as a one time thing, but it also marked the point where many, including me, abandoned the franchise. Activision thought that was what people wanted and it turned the series into shit.
Mw is the last game where you can see a clear direction to the game.

On a side note, it is obvious Treyarch heart is in horror games, I hope that one day Activision just says fuck it, and give them full control of a project so they can develop that horror / survival game they always wanted to do, hell I would buy it.
>>
>>340639618
>last good cod MP was WaW
Fixed. I agree with SP.
>>
>>340648113
BO1 SP wasnt bad, but yes, last good MP is WaW
>>
>>340648496
All the campaigns in previous COD games felt like war movies with you playing as some random soldier. Blops 1 was more like an action movie which to me ruined the series.
>>
>>340638819
*gets 30 kill streak with akimbo models*

>tfw broke 2k hours mark on aIW, 4D1/aRev
It was fun until it lasted.

>>340647353
then you suck at CoD if you need to create your own rules for it. or you're one of those faggots who watched a few promod frag movies without ever playing it and now you mention it every chance you get.
