A lot of games do this. The only reasons people care is because edgy teenagers get butt hurt over other people enjoying Call of Duty.

Assassin's Creed was a good series, it has a story, as the user below posted.
Guitar Hero and Tony Hawk aren't games that are MEANT to have a story line. They're a new game with different elements to make you play it.
Call of Duty just has a bad storyline, so that's why it isn't a good game.

Did you fucking play BO2 campaign?

Yes, and let me tell you: Everything was predictable, even the secrets you can cheat your way out of like shooting Mason's knees. The idea was unique, the performance was bad.

well...the first two series are sort of dead & Assassin's creed was doing it to flesh out a story. Could bring up dynasty warriors series instead

Literally every popular sequel does this. If they don't, people hate it. Call of Duty just gets an insane amount of hate because of the insufferable fans. It's still a fairly decent series, all things considered. Fuck Black Ops though. That's the Sonic 06 of FPSes.

Have you tried Black Ops 2 yet, as much as I hated Black Ops I really do like 2.

No, I haven't, though I'm willing to try it in a few years when it's patched up a bit, and on sale.

While I understand your reasoning it's a lot better when there's a bunch of people playing

I'm not going to play MP. At least not religiously, I might try it for a few minutes tops.

I'll give it a shot.

May I ask why you hate Black Ops?

Glitchy, boring, stupid story, predictable plot twists. It was pretty soulless, it's obvious they only cared about the MP.
Great music, sounds, and voice acting though; such a waste of talent and resources.

Haven't seen many glitches outside of Zombies, and they patch them if there are. Story, I enjoyed, Plot twists were predictable though. As for the MP, that's all a majority of people get CoD for. Some don't even touch the campaign. The only thing I didn't like about the sounds was that the suppressors all sounded the same, and that some of the reload noises sound like they were made out of plastic

I want to play a game for the story and immersion, fuck me right? That's one of the sad things about games now. Can't play a fantasy game without faggy magic, can't play a nice shooter without shitty MP taking all the resources and attention.

Also, a lot of magazines are. Most of the sounds sounded fairly similar to the rifles I've shot with plastic mags, so I'd say they did a good job in that area.

There may not be as many, but there are some around. Just need to look hard enough. Although it does suck that the developers are just doing it for money now, as to back then when they made games that will be played countless times

Did they have plastic mags during the cold war?
Treyarch does do a good job of recording gun noises. They actually set up mics at varying distances so you get a feel for distance in the game. Really good job too

You're probably right, but I am limited in both money and technological resources. If it's not on xbox, or doesn't have REALLY low settings for the PC, it's out of my reach.


You know, I really don't know, that's a good question. That might have been an oversight on their part. You're right, they do a great job sound wise. I wonder if they did binaural recording? I love that, it's great for immersion.

Same here, which is why I usually look them up before I get them. I also have a xbox, but the disc tray is stuck, so I only have Skyrim to play now, aside from the PSP. As for the PC, same as well. However, Newegg sells DIY computers. The one I want is around $750, which is http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1068930 only the OS is needed(aside from keyboard, mouse and monitor, but I'll just reuse the ones I have) There are others as well

I've got a system built, all it needs is a good video card, which is easily the most expensive part. The good ones are expensive, the great ones are ridiculous.

If I remember, a Nvidia 510 is around $100. If you want to save up, then a 660ti is around $350. Not too sure about AMD cards
