No way MW2 was the BEST MP experience of Cod, after this it all went south!

Based on the fact that the teams have alternated every year since 07?

In the middle of that sledgehammer games was formed and helped finish mw3.
Did people really think they would kill off the MW series?

Surprised this frame rate thing on PS4 hasn't started a whole new thread yet.
Since 06 actually.
This sucks. Wonder if it's fixable.

Jeff at giantbomb says that no ones played ps4 online and that multiplayer was tested at that review event on lan. He also stated it randomly drops frame rate in mp.
joystiq, polygon and GB mention issues. Ign and gamespot make no mention.
Atleast Lunchbox got to post that incredible OT before getting banned.
I'm not surprised to see reviewers start to crack down on CoD, but it's very hard to ever get proper guidance for games like this. They live and die by the MP, which is all about map design, spawns, balance, etc. and a lot of that just can't be determined until there's a good chunk of playtime invested.

I hate this about reviews. No one review mp. No mention of the new dedicated servers or experience beyond perks and extinction.
Haha, still, a LOT happens just with maps and how they can be broken down. It just bugs me that pretty much every game gets a treatment of basically listing bullet points of features that are now different then move on. Same with netcode and hit detection, all kinds of fucked up shit tends to rear its head once it gets out of the reviewer bubble and into the mass public.

Don't tempt them. :/
Have not played yet but was watching the Rev 3 review (not really a well done review at all ) where they said they introduced a friendly AI voice in MP that calls out enemies? Is this true? That sounds horrible.
Curious if those playing it notice this. They claimed it was a way to "level the playing fireld" for new players..

The only time I agree with Polygon
Whelp D: didn't mean to piss you off, I thought thought there were better ways to say "I don't like killzone" :S
They could have implemented extra effects on that version since then.

he shines far too brightly for this crowd.
I hope this is the norm for this game.....I want it to be the worst rated CoD so we can get some effort next game.
Have barely seen any coverage of the new Call of Duty so I decided to watch the GT review of the game. While it looks undoubtably even more boring than the previous CoD games the review really pissed me off. It came across like the reviewers felt really tough to finally have the guts to criticise the Call of Duty franchise. Every negative point they made about the game could have been made for any other CoD game, ever.
I dunno, random annoyance. Made the review (and all the other reviews before it) feel really insincere.

Wow, shinobi not doing his job for once. Do we know if he is fine?
When he made the thread the reviews were still three hours away, so could have just gone to bed. I mean even he has to sleep eventually.

Shane Satterfield reviewed most of previous COD titles for Gametrailers (he was also EIC). He's been one of the biggest COD apologists around for years now.
He left the site early this year, I'm not shocked that a new reviewer resulted in a lower review score. I mean, the game doesn't seem up to snuff with previous iterations, but given GT's traditionally harsher grading average, previous COD titles probably would have been in the 8s rather than the 9s had ANYBODY else there reviewed them.
Then he should have let someone else do it instead.

Scott Lowe is crazy about CoD. He is the one that got all those gameplay exclusives on ps4 a while back. It was preetty obvisous that the review would be influenced by that.
That's like letting Colin Moriarty review res0gun. He is crazy about the game/genre. They should get someone more impartial to dio it.
No kidding that would be like me reviewing every dynasty warriors game and giving them all at least an 8.5+ just because I LOVE DW and the hack 'n slash genre.

Activision are probably already thinking about shutting IW with a metascore like that (I know Metacritic averages are bullshit, but considering how much faith the industry seems to place in it, I wouldn't be surprised if Acti were thinking about closing the studio - We know how ruthless Activision can be)
What were preorders like for Ghosts? There doesn't seem to be any hype anywhere for this game.
I have to say everything I've heard about this game has me underwhelmed and the Giant Bomb review only served to reinforce that feeling.
We'll bitch and moan about it every year, but I really do wish IW, Treyarch and whoever is forced to work on CoD titles were given more time than a year between releases. That way we might actually see some new ideas form or even innovation! Rather than what we have now where features and modes are actively removed or replaced year on year just because Activision's metric data deemed certain modes unpopular (yes I am bitter about the removal of HQ and Hardpoint)

Just PM a mod to make a new one, if you want to update it yourself.
MW2 is the reason why I stopped playing COD. The campaign was laughable, the plot points were a joke, things happened, you had no idea why, they never touched on again, like the level where you had to save the VIP in the US. Really, I almost lost my eyes they rolled back so far and so many times during that campaign.
And the multiplayer? at any given time after 2 weeks it was online, in any match there were like 3 to 4 different air strikes going on, it was unbalanced, buggy, and a mess.
Can you point out to me the good things about MW 2? I seriously cannot see it.
