I hate call of duty!!!!!!!! | Forums

[PREDITOR OPS]

call of duty is to blame for all of this crap with every shooter. everyone wants to be like call of duty. Its so annoying. Big maps and custom lobbies. That's all this game needed to keep more of it's fans. This game makes me feel like it was just a 60$ beta to see what changes can be made to the game and still make money. The gun balance and it's 3rd person are the only reasons i still play this game. I remember a time where big maps were a given and call of duty was never introduced. Battlefield has horrible gun play but they get sales because they submerge you in the game with large detailed maps and real gun sounds. Here is a idea keep your gun play take battlefields maps and sounds and make ghost battlefield recon you may have a better game then ghost cod recon.

I agree with you on your hatred of call of duty. Imo opinion the #1 reason why people left grfs is because of all the network issues. I lost half of my squad about 4 months after this game came out, cause they were infuriated with the lag, host migrations and game breaking glitches. It took ubi too long to fix these issues and people gave up. Grfs is a good game with tremendous potential to be even better. Yeah i agree its not like the ghost of old but its still tactical. I would still rather play grfs than any call of duty game. If ubi doesnt learn from there mistakes for the sequel then im afraid grfs will go the way of medal of honor ( wich in my opinion was completel garbage) then well be stuck with nothing but cod and its clones. As a long time ghostrecon fan i hope this doesn't happen.

As a long time Ghost Recon fan, I can say this game is most definitely NOT Ghost Recon, just a pathetic attempt to cash in on the current bad trend of shooter copy cat clones. The GRAW's were where the downward trend started in my opinion. Hopefully they got it out of their system after releasing this garbage, and go back to making Ghost Recon games. I've already given up on Splinter Cell after they kept ruining it after Chaos Theory, and the fact they changed leads and gone relatively dark with Rainbow 6, leads me to believe it is the next Clancy casualty of Ubisoft. At this point, they should just retire the whole Tom Clancy series, or give it to someone who can make a Clancy game. It's become obvious that Ubisoft hasn't got the ability to do it anymore.
SOCOM 4 was more Ghost Recon then Futuresoldier!

I don't mind cod, thers a reason it makes so much money. but companies need to stick to producing a product there core fans enjoy. Then produce loads of dlc. Remember all the dlc for GRAW 2. Once a company realizes they won't ever get the core cod fans, and stick to what they know, that's when they will be successful.

I actually liked the GRAW's,and the support for GRAW 2 was absolutely outstanding. I was going to purchase the dlc for this game, but then I played the mp and decided not to waste my money. When I bought this game, I was intending to get a Ghost Recon game, I didn't, and wish I could return to get my money back. $30 is too much for a single player only (cause the MP sucks too bad in my opinion to enjoy) game.

Wait...you hate a game which is doing its own thing and doing it smashingly well because OTHER games are copying it?

It pains me to think that the "mature" "hardcore" "GR vets" have such an immature view on things.

No wonder nobody GAF about us...

Call of Duty did its own thing like 10 years ago.

But now...

It's still doing that same thing, and showing other video game developers that to make millions and millions of dollars, you don't have to innovate or change your game at all, really. All you have to do is target the casual market and keep handing them the same gameplay over and over and over again.

Because the formula works....
Why the **** would Activision change it?
You're hating a company for not trying to make money...for giving people what they want? For being smart?

Dude they innovated years ago when it mattered....the magnitude of their innovation is such that they can use it as a cornerstone for the next 5 years.

Its the other VG companies which need some 'hate' directed at them. Don't ***** at COD for being successful and because other companies want a piece of the pie.

****ing helll the stupidity that is perpetuated by gamers ia ****ing ridiculous

That's why there successful, because they don't change the gameplay. don't change what isn't broken, and the cod fans love it and line up at 12 midnight to buy it every year. Zipper could of learned from them. I guarantee if GRFS would of been more like the old ghost recons there would be a lot more people playing it. Not saying its a bad game, but this game isn't as good as the GRRAW series. it is the best tips out for consoles right now, and has its own identity. this game is a casual, fun third person shooter though.

A mature perspective bud. Your words will fall on many a deaf though.
