Call of Duty 5 SUCKS! Dont waste your money!

[Jax]

fuck the clans and thier uptight asses

I don't know if they have dedicated servers on the 360 for COD 4 but on the PC, those tightasses pay for servers so others can plays on them. Am sorry but if you want a raygun for a WW2 game against other users, you need your head checking

Games about skill not over the top weps to give you an unfair advantage

Rubbish. It's part of the game, and can be used by anyone who has it available to them in order to win. It's like the people who whine about being tagged with the Bullseye on Resistance 2 - tough crap. It's a legitamite part of the game. I don't use the Bullseye myself, but if I did, you can bet your arse that I'd use every facet of it to help me win the game for me and my team-mates. That's what it's there for. Sure, the game is about skill, but it's also about winning. Now, if someone was using a hack or a mod, or something that isn't just an achievable/unlockable part of the game to get these weapons and gain an unfair advantage over other players, then you'd have a point, but since that isn't what is happening, I'd say it's just a lot of noise being made by a bunch of crybabies who can't stand to lose.

But Ray guns aren't built into the normal modes, he wanted them put in for more than Nazi zombies, seriously A RAY GUN in a world war 2 fight

I already dislike the fact that the new CoD multiplayer essentially favors people who have played longer... giving them a crazy advantage like this seems too much.

Thankyou. For the past 12 months its felt like I'm the only gamer who has a problem with that.

Under the CoD4/WaW system, players who have played longer have the advantage of not only knowing the maps and weapons like the back of their hands, but also tangible benefits granted to them by the game itself. These people are also therefore more likely to live longer, so they also get a pack of dogs/airstrike/whatever for every 7 consecutive kills they get. I've never had 7 consecutive kills in either of those games and there's absolutely no chance I ever will now. If this isn't the goddamn stupidest thing I've ever seen, I dunno what is.

I only play COD for sp due to the fact of COD 1 & 2 were full of hackers, the game engine is pretty bad when it comes to allowing people to modify it easily. COD 4 when I play online (not often), I play Hardcore because it evens out the playing field but overall the perks were designed for the younger audience end of the game IMO and half of them are just plain awful.

COD 5 seems to have fixed some issues online but as a casual player of COD because I play other games, theres no real desire to play COD due to its never really an even playing field. I don't think ranks n Perks need to be removed but theres work still left to be done but to each there own, I will just carry on playing games and the mode I love CO-OP.

Then if the Ray Gun isn't available on normal modes, what's the issue? And I can think of two games off the top of my head that feature "ray guns" in a WW2 setting - Resistance, and Wolfenstein.

But COD5 has player matching, doesn't it? I'm ranked at level 41 currently, and if I join matches on my own, I'm usually lumped in with people who have a relatively similar rank to myself. The only time I get put into a game with people who are ranked higher than me is if I join a game whilst in a party with a friend of mine who is ranked at level 64 - he starts the game, and it player matches to his level.
Sure, it can be harder to kill/defeat some of the higher ranked players, but it just makes it all the more satisfying when you do kill them, and I feel that being put up against more experienced players has helped to improve my own game.

Jax-no game EVER has an even playing field. To quote the poem Desiderata:

"If you compare yourself to others you may become vain and bitter,
For always there will be others who are greater or lesser than yourself."

Of Course someone who has played more knows the maps better-what, did you think the game came with a direct brain upload so everyone would start out with the same knowledge?

You get out of it what you put in-if you aren't willing to play long enough to learn that's fine-but don't whine that people who do have the advantage. I don't play Gears2-but if I picked it up I would expect to get owned at the start because I don't know it! I'd devote my attention to learning quickly and try to minimize stupid deaths at first.

As for the UFO gun-I say, make it a Prestige 10, Level 65 perk/new weapon. I don't think having it in the game would be an issue-you take your alien space laser and I'll take my Russian, gas-powered sniper. Let's see who's left standing!

 

[firehawk12]

I imagine that the PC version doesn't have player matchmaking because, well, PC Gamers actually prefer to have server browsers (fancy that, choosing where you want to play?).

And right now, I have yet to play any of the game online. I'm sure anyone who is still bothering to play the game has already ranked up... so I'm going to be dumped in a room full of high rank guys simply because there are no low rank guys playing the game.

You're not the only one. Even though I enjoyed COD4, it was real problem in the beginning. Fortunately I stuck with it long enough to where it got a little more even.

You get out of it what you put in-if you aren't willing to play long enough to learn that's fine-but don't whine that people who do have the advantage.

Willing to put in? You do realize that a lot of us have this thing called "a life" where we don't have several hours a day to devote to game?

 

[Mistral]

Mmmm...didn't think the learning curve required "several hours a day"-especially for a COD4 vet. I, too, have a life-heck, I have a little kid who soaks up vast amounts of my time. I still play when I can-and I just take the games at face value and do the best I can.

 

[gh4chiefs]

Ok, I accept that, but the way you said it, you came off as you were chastizing people for not "putting in" time on the game. My point is, not everybody wants to do that, some people just want to pick it up and have fun with it when they can. To a certain extent, if you're gonna play casually, you have to accept a certain amount of disadvantage to the people who play a lot. But COD4 and apparently now COD:WOW have built in disadvantages to the casual players.

Buy hey, what the hell do I know, they're selling a bazillion copies of the game, so it must not bother too many people.

A fair observation and sorry if I came off that way-I wrote that at 2 am and was less than 100%-shoulda been in bed....

 

[SlyCardie]

I have to say, it looked cool, but was ultimately just another COD game set in WW2. That was my biggest problem with it all along, and it seems it was proved right after playing it. It's not a bad game, in fact 5 years ago it would have been phenominal, but in this day and age, especially on the heels of Modern Warfare, it doesn't stand up.

No problem, its' all good.

Question to the COD4/WAW fans here:

Your prefered mode: War or Domination?


After giving War a fair shake, I'd still say that I vastly prefer Domination.

The idea of focusing the battle towards one control point at a time seems fine on paper, but in practice it turns the active flag into a death trap of nade spam. Most War games I've played have gone into final elimination after what was effectively a stale mate.

Domination, IMO, is a more fluid and dynamic multiplayer experience.

There was a rumor early on (when W@W was announced) that War would *replace* domination - thank god that wasn't the case.

 

[Angel4576]

You can't do CoD MP without Domination IMO. Best mode by far.

I don't buy into the 'unfair advantage' argument. People who spend more time playing will naturally, and obviously have a better grasp of the maps and weapons/perks. Whilst this is an obvious advantage, it's not the be-all-and-end-all though. I was consistently ranking in the top couple of players as soon as I started playing the game.

Of course the other option is, if you're really that lost on the maps, just go into Private Match and set yourself up to have a free run through the relevant maps. I did that on CoD4 and found some great spots.

 

[Mistral]

Oddly, despite hundreds of Domination matches in COD4, I haven't played a single one in 5. I agree about War, though-it kinda bites. My team either runs over its opponents or it comes down to who spawns where in final elimination. I mostly play S&D and Deathmatch(hardcore and normal).

 

[Commander Vaughn]

Finished the game on Veteran earlier.

You always get a sense of accomplishment when you complete a game so ridiculously tough in some parts. Grenades of War indeed...

 

[firehawk12]

I'm never playing a CoD game on anything other than Casual until they get rid of the infinite spawn closets.

 

[c0rnedfr0g]

the Zombie killing is the best part of the game

 

[Commander Vaughn]

I'm never playing a CoD game on anything other than Casual until they get rid of the infinite spawn closets.

Yeah, thats part of what makes the game rewarding though. Knowing that you defeated an infinite Nazi hoarde...

 

[Sendai]

Eh, this game was too annoying to play through. I usually don't get too aggravated when I run into hard patches in games, but come on - the re-spawning and having to redo the same battle over and over again wore thin the first few levels. I quit playing when you're given the flame thrower. I'll give MP a try for sure, but the SP is getting shelved. I really do hope this is the last CoD game set in WW2, it's a setting beaten to death (CoD4 was a good start, if a bit overrated).

the Zombie killing is the best part of the game

By itself, it's hardly worth the price of the original game.

BTW, for your avatar you should replace "Obama" with "Bush".
