Call of Duty is getting old

I'm done with it. After 4 games (CoD4, WaW, MW2, BO), the formula is getting old and I'm done with it. With some many awesome games next year (Mass Effect 3, TES5, U3, Batman) CoD can take a back seat, as 4 was definitely the highest point of the series and it's just gone downhill from there, as they failed to introduce anything fresh to the series. Activision is just ruining everything they have aren't they? ;)

Yeah basically. The only thing that Activision isn't running into the ground is any project from Blizzard. Well, they published Wolfenstein and that's not getting ran into the ground, I'm sure there's a few other things as well.

I'm haven't been following Xbox too closely recently, what is TES5?

It took you this long to find this out? :P

CoD has been getting old since 4.

For me FPS's have taken way too much of my time as they are like crack even though Im not that good at them. Im putting FPS's down in favor of playing all the great games I have neglected the past few years.

To be honest with you guys, i think the xbox 360 is getting old. Hate me for saying it but lately it just isn't doing it for me. The games are just... not really as good as n64 ps1 ps2 gamecube and xbox games. I honestly feel like i enjoyed gaming a hell of a lot more on my xbox. Now i fine myself getting bored with xbox 360 games because frankly games are getting dumbed down for some odd reason. I recently just bought a new 360 too, yet nothing to this date has moved me like Legend of Zelda Orcarina of Time. I literally get teary eyed when i hear the great fairy fountain song. How come xbox 360 games don't do that for me. Maybe i should be blogging this but i just feel like games are getting worse and worse as the graphics and mechanics and content expands. I love my fallout 3 on the 360, but my n64 is just... is so much better IMO. I play it way more the my 360 lately, I'm going crazy i think. Sorry for the rant.F0urTwenty

Your post is off topic.

How much more can you add to a first person shooter? Really think about it...

Should go towards the melee side of FPS. Like they did in Condemned 1/2.

lighting changes from day to night time, random weather effects, maybe using night vision?

There have been a lot of innovations in FPS. Look at the cover system that I feel Gears perfected for the first time. I felt that was groundbreaking. There's also been the implementation of destructible surrounding which has been really nice, and a really fun mechanic to experiment with. But the biggest innovations come in the story, seeting, and plot of the games. Compare CoD with games like Gears. Gears is more original, more innovative, and more creative as an entire story than CoD. CoD is just getting old because everyone is getting tired of playing as a group of American soldiers trying to stop the terrorists. Black Ops tried to mix it up with the whole programming-thing of the main character, but it still didn't lend itself to the same level of creativity in games like Gears or even Reach for that matter. The only reason that CoD continues to be successful is because people enjoy the multiplayer, and they will pay $60 to not miss out on the moving community.

Shooters are always going to be shooters.

I skip every other COD game because of this. I played a ton of MW1..hardly any MW2..and I am loving some Black Ops. I am waiting to see what the sci-fi one looks like. It has a lot of potential for awesome imho.

I would argue that there's still innovation. I look at games like Bioshock, Wolfenstein, Singularity, I believe Metro 2033 is a shooter as well but I'm not sure. Those are just some 360 exlusives, and some off the top of my head.

i have wasted pretty much a month on call of duty, no not in the span of 1 month i played thembut acctually 22 days on mw2 andat least 10 days on all the otheres especcially waw zombies. i relly want to get rid of them but now theres like a sentimental value.

I'm glad to see there are some people who think the same as me. CoD began gettin' old a while ago... I'm not saying it's a bad game, but it's waaayy overated and has received too much media atention for god knows why. One thing I do particulary dislike is it's focus on online gaming and letting the story and campaign aside.

Call of Duty is a shooter. You shoot stuff and make things explode. Every shooter does this. Halo does it, Gears of war does it, Killzone does it etc etc......... I don't understand the COD hate because every shooters does the same thing. Duke Nukem Forever is gonna like call of duty because its another shooter.

Oh my.....this thread was from last year.

And it took you this long to figure this out? lol :Porb_03_2006

Between Last year's Halo Reach; and this year's Battlefield 3, Gears of War 3, Elder Scrolls IV, and Brink, I am set for the next 10 years or so. I don't need Call of Duty.

Everyone I know that REALLY plays games are really getting tired of the "cod" formula and I 100% agree. I still play HC in Call of Duty 4 from time to time, but as far I was concerned, the entire success of the series is riding off the only 2 good games: 2 and 4.

Every year people say "I hope it will be as good as 4." I have a great idea... why don't you go get 4 for about $10, then you can forget about Call of Duty and Activision and let them both die in a hole like they deserve.

If it wasn't for Call of Duty, EA would dominate Activision and Kotick wouldn't have an ego the size of Canada and an **** the size of Kentucky. (cause face it he has to stick his foot up it all the time)

COD haters will respond to any thread even if its a yerar old. if you dont like it dont play it and keep it moving
