I've played COD of a long time. Over the 100+ hours I spent playing, I still haven't gotten better. Infact, now a days COD just PISSES me off everytime I play. I've thought about it and the game is really akin to a battle pit- they place you in a small map with ton of players shooting the heck out of each other. I constantly get camped, back killed etc and it just isn't fun.

No doubt, the franchise will continue to be successful and I'll probably STILL buy MW3, but only because all my friends get it. I probably still won't enjoy it.

Summary:

1. make a shooter where players actually get better with invested time

2. change the model that promotes camping and back killing

3. IUNO lol, 3 sounds better.

You do get better with invested time.

It's called leveling up and unlockables.

1. you do get better with invested time. its called the more you play, the better you get

2. like it or not, all shooting games have campers and they wont change the call of duty games because its bringing in alot of money just the way it is so if you hate campers that much then either shut up and deal with it or don't buy the game at all

3. what?

yes the call of duty games have their bad stuff (like campers, kids, people who play their music with the mic on) but the call of duty games also have their good stuff (like multiplayer and other features such as zombies, spec ops, and campagn) so like i said, if you don't like the style of gameplay or the campers then either deal with it and play the game or don't buy the game at all because activision isn't changing a thing in call of duty as long as it keeps bringing loads a money like it already is

You hate the game because you aren't any good at it? While I can see why constantly getting smashed could be annoying, it hardly seems fair to use that as a reason to classify a game as "bad." Players do get better in CoD, but you need to understand that in the world of CoD 100 hours is nothing. Hell, I've logged over 1,000 hours between CoD4, MW2, WaW, and Black Ops, and even that's on the low end of the spectrum. Some people just aren't good at some games, and that's ok. It doesn't mean that the game itself is broken, though (I do agree there need to be some modifcations to the formula, for the record).

there is one solution to getting better at the call of duty games (i figured this solution out when i started playing shooting games about 12 years ago) and that is to find a gun that you can use to your advantage and get good at the game with. for example: i'm pretty good at the call of duty games but i'm better at the call of duty games when i use assault rifles such as the famas, m4a1, or ak47 (all with silencers of course)

Not to sound rude, but maybe you're just not very good at COD type games.

I have a few friends who just can't do well at these games and that's just the way it goes.

I'll probably only be average at FIFA no matter how many games I play but I don't blame EA or FIFA for my own soccer shortcomings.

I agree, but not because you are bad at it.

CoD is bad, but I love playing it with the bros.

I'm not hating it cuz its bad- im ok.. I dislike it cuz I feel like im just constantly running around ganking others or being ganked myself, wheres the fun in that? Its jsut to much of a frenzy to me.

TF2 or GeoW on the other hand, I like it because of the fact you can clearly see the enemy before you die.

I have to disagree. I still play black ops and I'm having a blast with it. I don't play it everyday. I'll play it for a few days and then not play for a week or two (I get preoccupied) then I come back to play and its fun

I really hated MW2, but I'm a big Black Ops fan. Here's hoping MW3 is a good game - apparently it will have dedicated servers, which would bea HUGE improvement just by itself.

All of your concerns are mainly with TREYARCH games. That is. WaW and Black Ops. These tend to piss me off SO much too, but don't diss Infinity Ward's work...their games are amazing. I've played all COD games since COD4, and COD4 and MW2 were head and shoulders above WaW and Black ops, and for several reasons: better hit detection, smoother (and FASTER) online [you will need better reflexes in Infinity ward's games], better graphics, and overall tighter gameplay and, I must say, a cooler era/atmosphere IW's games.

The only reason why Treyarch's latest game scored so highly was b/c of how much content it has, and the same goes with the latest Halo game (Halo Reach). Yeah, they're not that fun, but hey, it will last you a long time, right? (This is a jarring problem with how reviewers review games: quantity over quality, means more fun [higher ratings]? Not a chance in my book, but even the best of reviewers tend to do that, even the famous Greg Kasavin reviewed some games that were more quantity and not that fun... (splinter cell chaos theory proves my point).

Just play IW's games, they're the best shooters I have ever played, and trust me, I know what shooters are fun and what shooters aren't worth investing your time and energy in.

And for all those who think COD games are bad, you're slightly right, b/c Treyarch's games are just so really bad. But, if there are those who are still hating on IW's games, they gotta get out of their shells...the COD series is the most dominant FPshooter to date, and there's a reason for it.

I don't even bother with Treyarch games, IW does a much better job, and to the people who complain about COD being really bad, play some other shooters, like crysis 2, makes you appreciate how good COD games really are.

Play a game that involves skill as opposed to who sees who first idk? You could try a different game mode besides tdm although if getting shot in the back is a problem to you then I really can't help you.

Call Of Duty stinks, I agree. But for other reasons as well.

There's no quality, it's dumbed down and shortened even further. The biggest one of all? It's so poorly contructed and programmed. They don't even care about their online or game security. I've learned this lesson in COD4 and every other release after COD4, has been exactly the same as COD4 in every sense of the word. The difference? In the PC gaming world, people create mods for games (in case you didn't know already). That is all World At War and Modern Warfare 2 are, Mods of Call Of Duty 4. Now (like clockwork) Modern Warfare 3 has been announced. Your MW2 is already dead and guess what? MW3 falls under the same umbrella. They only care about the $70 you just wasted on their beta grade piece of crap. So why should anyone sane and intelligent, care about Call Of Duty anymore...?

Because it's fun. Who really cares about if its moded stuff from a previous.As long as people have fun then it dosen't matter. I know a lot of people that had fun but don't like Cod. The people who sink 50+ hours into it are the ones that always complain. (ironic no?) But of course lots of people hate cod because they have over a million people playing it as we speak.

I've played COD of a long time. Over the 100+ hours I spent playing, I still haven't gotten better. Infact, now a days COD just PISSES me off everytime I play. I've thought about it and the game is really akin to a battle pit- they place you in a small map with ton of players shooting the heck out of each other. I constantly get camped, back killed etc and it just isn't fun.

No doubt, the franchise will continue to be successful and I'll probably STILL buy MW3, but only because all my friends get it. I probably still won't enjoy it.

Summary:

1. make a shooter where players actually get better with invested time

2. change the model that promotes camping and back killing

3. IUNO lol, 3 sounds better.

The game you're looking for is MAG, an actual good shooter. Im also a COD hater BTW.

LoL i hate the game for the exact opposite reason..everyone including me is too good at it. It should be about skill..not run and gun (which prevails in CoD and gets everyone easy kills)
