It’s simple. No game scratches the ‘quick game of shoot shoot’ itch like COD does. Many have tried, all have failed.

The content for the entry cost is also fantastic.

Folk will continue to hate, but the masses speak!

I still really enjoy jumping into some matches and running around not caring if I do well or not as I agree, nothing comes close to it

If I want too try hard I play something harder like Hell Let Loose

Aggressive take OP, COD hatred is fascinating to me, yes there’s so many menus, DLC, updates, cosmetics and junk but the movements are the best, gunplay I see good maps and campaigns. BO4, Vanguard WW2, BO Cold War, MW2019-MW3 and BO6 I like and are better than people give them credit for.

So I signed up with PC game pass and was downloading all the popular titles. Call of Duty 6 was up there so I figured I would give it a shot for old times sake. I could not believe what I experienced as soon as I booted the game.

*Right Away they are flashing battle passes and other shit to buy in your face: It's not enough for those who paid full price but they got to shove this shit down your throat.
*Huge Colorful banners that are just trying to pitch shit to buy. Even between matches they are shoving shit down your throat
*The Shit they do have for sale is horrendous and seems designed for a teenage boy. For example there is this woke liberal skin with a chick with a pink bob haircut and a nose ring. (Like that is tough?) I then peeked at the price people are paying for this bullshit and it is unreal!

Unfortunately, that shit makes a lot of money so what can you do?

My call of duty history: I am an early cod member.

It's not a club, you don't have a membership.

I remember playing the old realistic COD2, Cod 3, and then the great Call of Duty 4 Modern Warefare changed multiplayer forever. I played all the way from COD 4 all the way up to COD Modern Warefare 3. After realizing the game was equivalent to Madden football with just adding a new skin and changing a few guns every year. So I haven't played this franchise in over a decade:

Nah there's a lot more going on year to year than there is for Madden releases. You get a new campaign, sure it's pretty short generally, but good production values. Most of the games have pretty distinct multiplayer as well. It's probably fair to say World at War multi was a WW2 reskin of COD4 to a large extent.

I was never a great call of duty player but I was ok. My K/D was over 1 so I was not a hindrance.

Unless you played purely TDM that's debatable.

My experience yesterday: Now it's been over 10 years and I should of been getting worked.

Yeah you don't understand how the game works. There's an onboarding experience where you are in total scrub lobbies for a bit and then it's up to the Skill-based Matchmaking Gods.

I am playing on the pc with a controller so the mouse/kb crowd and the veterans should of just been destroying me.

Not really, gamepad is the meta because of the level of aim assist involved.

I played my first game and was top 3 in scoring and then k/d of a 1.5. SO I played another match and not as good but similiar results. Aftrer 2 matches, I was completly bored. After 10 years it's still the same bullshit, kill/respawn/camp/throw random grenade gameplay.

Yeah you're not remotely good at COD multi. You'd get shredded in a no-lifer lobby. If you don't find the gameplay engaging that's fine but please don't kid yourself.

I do not understand hoiw games like COD, Madden,NBA, etc sell great every year when they just recycle the same gamepay over and over and over again. In cases like Madden it is reviewed badly every year but people still flock to buy it. Cod has been the same shit for damn near 20 years and still making billions of dollars. Just bizarre that gamers cry about "innovation" but they are playing and buying the same shit, over and over and over.

Gaming is a reasonably mature medium... most of it is the same old shit with extra retard-proofing and improved graphics. If the implication is that single-player games have been more innovative over the same time period I'm not sure I'm buying it.

Fortnite was the worst thing to happen to gaming in decades, anything even slightly inspired by its success is trash to the core.

The best way to kill it all permanently: create a total ban on profiting off of minors in any form. Where under no circumstances can minors even be a source of revenue by advertising DLC for their parents to buy -- anything advertisement at any level in connection with a minor's account is illegal, so that any dev (rightly) risks legal annihilation for making anything at all to kids that isn't just an offline game purchased all at once. Burn the retardation factory to its core.

Did this dude just call for a blanket ban on minors buying multiplayer games?

People still hate COD in 2025?
There is a reason it tops the charts in an interactive medium, the gameplay is superb, and its loaded with content.

You're a good guy. The industry is shot.

I tried to sample this game when there was a free trial. Wasn't confident it's worth the money, nothing better than a demo right? Click from bnet app, nothing happens, no black screen or even new exe running. After installing the entire game for a weekend trial. Only game I threw at my PC that didn't work, maybe it has to do with anticheat but I didn't care enough to fix it. Anyway thanks for the wear on my SSD guys that's my blops6 story.

Call of Duty is a yearly full-priced game-as-a-service release, where players are expected to pay full price annually instead of subscribing for ongoing updates and content.

America!

 

[MiguelItUp]

It’s fun

Couldn't agree more.

I personally feel like it's the best COD package in a long time. Can't blame them for doing things to flow with modern gaming, especially if it works, and it does, clearly.

Good thing there's a subscription option for it now so you don't have to pay full price for it annually.
