Call Of Duty: Ghosts

[Dan's Ark]

More money-grabbing, overdramatic, noob-friendly trash from Infinity Ward?

No thanks. I'll stick to Arma.

EDIT: And airsoft.

 

[Airsoft-Ed]

Ahem. Battlefield 4.

Thread closed :3

Only joking.

But yeah. CoD is shit. Crap Overdramatic Dung.

I are genius.

Your grammar says it all

Not sure about battlefield but I fear it may be repetitive and turn into another COD-fest. Hopefully not but we'll see. Next game on my list is Splinter Cell: Blacklist (No hate plz) I mean they're bringing SPIES VS MERCS BACK!!!!

Another game I'm looking forward to is Watch Dogs, that looks VERY good.

Edit: Wow. I've just gone off topic in my own thread...

 

[Airsoft-Ed]

Well we are in the "Off topic" section, and it's not like we're particularly bothered about people going wildly off topic regardless of the sub forum...

We love a bit o' banter here at AF-UK.

But yah. What was the Splinter Cell game where you had a suppressed FN 5-7, even when it didn't have one on it...? You could hang from ceilings and get points to spend on cinematically shooting people in the face whilst jumping about and shit.

That game was pretty great.

Other than that, the first ever Splinter Cell game was the most impossible thing in the universe. I think with old school console games, there was a point where the difficulty level surpassed what the game was capable of portraying with the graphics it had and stuff. Things like depth perception in platform games and ledges in Splinter Cell, along with enemies, targets, cameras, hidden paths in shadows etc etc.

If they made the games again, with HD graphics and stuff so you could actually see, and better sound so you could get a feel for the area better and shit like then, it'd be easy then.

But back in the day, the game wasn't good enough for it to be possible on the harder settings, unless you played it with a process of elimination, where you just ran into shadows, or shot stuff, then based on whether it worked or not, made a note of whether or not to do it again.

That said, now games make everything impossibly obvious, so retards can work everything out, and everything's shit unless the opponent is also a real person.

That was splinter cell conviction. Love that game. The 5-7 has an integrated suppressor, which is why it's silent. Trying to complete all maps on infiltration mode on realistic difficulty. Now that is a challenge. I can't do it with out raging and losing my patience after getting spotted 20 times.

I think they released a splinter cell HD version. Never heard of it since though.

So you are saying that COD multiplayer is good? Face-off on splinter cell was fun. Turn off gadgets and enemies. Enable pistols only and you have a fun game where you're hunting each other, pretty scary. You don't know what's going to pop up at the next corner

In short? No.

In long: NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Or, to actually explain myself:

The game mechanics promote a rushed style of play. You can move around as if you're on roller blades and it's natural to enjoy moving at speed, so people don't want to stop; hence everyone running around like a headless chicken.

Weapons all have their firemodes set for you, 90% are full auto only, which removes the need to aim properly as you can just spray the crap out of everything whilst skating around.

There's a map to see the environment, everyone always gets kill streaks to get a UAV so you can more or less see everyone on it at all times, there are a ton of built in hacks that they cleverly call perks so no one realises that's what they are, and everyone you're fighting against is, or has the mental age of a 10 year old, removing all potential tactical elements from it, full stop.

The point here is that in my opinion, CoD takes no skill to play, and as I said in my last comment, games that are too easy, are crap.

CoD has gone a step beyond this and made everyone equal by removing all tactics from the game. Even if you hooked yourself up to an electric chair so you'd die if you were killed in the game, you'd still end up being killed by some tit that just runs out of nowhere and knifes you because you can't be careful enough to avoid it because there are too many people doing it, because the game promotes it, so it's shit.

To be fair, I joined one of my friends whilst he was in game. Now he is good and I mean really good. You'll never win a face-to-face unless you get him in the back. Anyone you play a match based on your skill level. When I joined his game, I just got owned by a bunch for drop-shot sweats. No wonder he always comes first when he plays in my games.

I'm more excited for Rainbow Six: Patriots and GTA V. I'm hoping that this new Rainbow Six has the amazing character customisation that Vegas 2 has, seeing though I love making my guy looking as cool as possible. I even managed to recreate MTP on it.

Call of Duty just has 0 appeal to me now. Even Battlefield has lost it's touch since BadUpdatefield 3 came out. DICE concentrated too much on the visuals and making it noob-friendly for it to be a fun game for me.

Got to agree with you there. I thought BAd company 2 was ALOT better than battlefield 3.

BTW Ed, have you ever been quick scoped on BF3?

I guess I have, but I wouldn't really call it quick scoping. To a certain range you can just hip fire at people, especially if you're one of the morons that put a laser sight on snipers just for the sake of filling the 3rd attachment slot.

If you're on the move and just tap the aim button then you've got about as much chance hip firing as you do "quick scoping".

I'd call it being, "Luck shotted".

no doubt less than 1 hr after it released there be more hacks in it, than in a woodchoppers dairy, been playing MoH, CoD, BF etc since for ever on PC (not xblob or splaystation) all full of hacks. never seen the point to trying to be top dog in a game with downloaded skill pointless.

That's the beauty of a console. Apart from the occasional old game that no one plays. You can't get hacks xD

Well, it looks like the story MAY be better. Getting in an actual script writer to do the story.But at the end of the day, it's all going to be the same, horrid mess.

Also, I watched the xbox one reveal last night and they had the COD director guys on it. I bet the dog dies (not being horrid or anything)

 

[Hubert]

The dog?
Yeah, the last game I played that tried to drum up hype by announcing it had a dog in it was Fable II.
And I'm sure we all know just how awesome and great Fable II was .

The ARES AEG gearbox of games...

 

[Nickona]

Also (if you're interested) you're supposed to be able to completely customise your characters.

Thats nothing new, Tom Clancy games have had that for ages!

However, if Price isn't in this I'm going to be upset

Hate to disappoint, but he 'aint.

Or at least, I highly doubt it. The behind the scenes video (I haven't posted it but it's easy enough to find) said that the plot is entirely focussed on the last of the US-SF guys. No Brits. So, I find it unlikely that everyone's favourite combat-grandpa will be making a return.

Which is a shame, because the SAS story lines in CoD were always the better. Well written with some genuinely witty moments (at least in CoD 4)

And then 'Murica!!! steps into the scene and a nuke goes off, killing millions

 

[Hubert]

To be fair, Price launched the nuke in the second one

 

[Nickona]

No Price no CoD

I have managed to obtain the nickname Cpt. Price for my affection for boonie hats and facial hair

But back on Ghosts, it could be good, or very shit... hopefully the story will be good and it will be like a film
