While Halo bites the dust (but for good reason).
no good reason? the sword sucked in each game after Halo 2


I can't tell if troll or you just didn't read it right. Or I'm just completely missing where you're coming from here.

lol Halo 4 bottomed out at 15k at one point. That is hilarious.

I bet some of the least played CoD playlists have a higher population at midnight.

It was the lowest population count at some point after midnight, it is obviously going to be low.

The executive said that if Activision wants to keep the Call of Duty series relevant and compelling, the company must bring fresh ideas and innovation to each new entry while simultaneously balancing the core tenets of the series.

the company must bring fresh ideas and innovation

fresh ideas and innovation

Call of Duty

Hahahahahaha

hahaha

ha.


I find your basis appears to be against Call of Duty, i have to mention that even without innovation they appear to have done quite well for themselves in the series topping one BILLION revenue.I would personally advise them to not innovate to a large degree as that appears to be what cost the Halo series a large percentage of the existing player base with Halo: Reach and Halo 4 being examples of this.By all means still innovate but do so in small steps to allow player feedback on what changes the community prefers.

If i may address Gaara(sorry if i spelled your username incorrectly) for a moment i would like to pose a question.

Addressing the amount of customization that the Call of Duty series normally allows you to play as you feel comfortable with, BUT at the same time this allows higher ranking players access to more powerful guns and somewhat limits the different styles of play that can be used.

I say this because over time as more and more players become the higher ranks and have access to more powerful weapons, one gun would be more commonly used as it is the "best" in most situations.I myself have not really played Call of Duty online all that much so take what i say with a grain of salt as i may be missing a few different options that the series allows to counter this problem.

I thought CoD sales were declining? guess not lol

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

Different Perspective

Don't tell me what to do and not do, OP.


This. I bought both games and Black Ops 2 is superior.

Currently studying Computer Science & Software engineering. Hope to work on mobile devices of the future! When a certain game's credits roll, look out for my name! ;)

You will -blam!- bricks when you see what game it is! =)

Wow, casual gaming sure is booming!

My legit Killtrocity

Camping like a 'mouth breather'
If Fed Ex and UPS merged into one company, would it be called Fed Up?

I don't want to start another account for a digital number that has no true value in ten years.

Another kid trashing on BO2 without even playing it, why am I not surprised?

BO2 is fun, with a lot of content.

Stop being such a hipster and give it a shot.

Still better than you.

You didn't seem to catch his bias.

He is attacking the game from a balanced and competitive standpoint. That is where the game is broken, but that is because it isn't designed to be "balanced" and "competitive".

In other words, it really doesn't have a skill gap.

The real problem in his argument is rating it as a "competitive" game in the first place. He is essentially bashing the game for what it isn't.

In other words, blind hate.

However, it is undeniable what the game has done to the FPS genre as a whole.

I am actually disappointed with this game, and it is the first TreyArch game that I am disappointed with.

IMO.

I haven't played BO2 yet, so my opinion may be off. However, it's very hard to achieve balance in a game that isn't based around the arena style. For the most part, form experience, the CoD developers have been pretty good at making it work. Minor issues here and there don't really detract from the game that much, when you always have an option to kill someone a different way. At the competitive level, CoD has always excelled. Especially in the PC community (though obviously CoD 4 is the big draw). However, like most games, this excelling was done because players stripped the game back and down to it's core, removing gimmicks. In that sense, CoD is just like every other game in the competitive scene.

As for what the game "has done to the FPS genre", im confused by what you mean. CoD represents a change in market direction. As multiplayer gaming becomes more popular, it is less about the underground society that focuses on stats, and competition, and more about lots of people joining in to have fun at somethign they play. If this creates a more "casual" experience, then so be it. If other games want to be able to sell, then they have to include this experience, though ideally on top of a competitive one. If they don't, that's the fault of the developers, not CoD as a franchise.

OT: That's really cool. Hopefully I can pick up a copy soon.

Maybe the reason Halo 4 didn't do so well was because it tried to become something it isn't?

Also, COD4 was awesome.

Not so much the rest.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

Sales number don't change my enjoyment of the game, I've been having fun with Halo 4 and I hope other people are having fun with Black Ops 2.

What difference does it make? It still only takes 30 seconds to find a Matchmaking game in Halo 4.

Do everyone a favor, get some intelligence, grow a set, bust a nut, and shut the fu­ck up.
