I'll give credit where it's due, these improvements seem pretty legit. I especially like the focus on making kill streaks more ground based and skill based. No more calling in flying death machines to do your work for you. Also the corner lean mechanic looks pretty cool.
With that said... what about the netcode? To me (and anyone with a brain) it's imperative that these guys do two things before I even give this game a second glance.
A.) A beta and
B.)Dedicated servers
CoD has always had great controls and the ADS and perk system are probably the most influential mechanics in a FPS since duel wielding. But the one thing that has always held this game back.... LAG.
CoD is the most successful game franchise on the planet so I know these guys can afford to do a beta and set up dedicated servers. Any talk to the contrary... and I ain't tryna hear that shit. ANYONE who buys this game without the announcement of the aforementioned deserves all the rage that comes with their purchase.
Stop being sheep and buying this shitty product just because everyone else is. The only way these guys are gonna address the real issues with CoD is if the sheeple stop supporting a bad product. Speak with your wallets guys and gals. If enough people let Activision/IW know that we have had enough of the rampant lag then they'll have to do something about it. Just look at M$ and what they did with the Spybox umm... I mean Xbox.
Sooo... did they fix the god awful netcode yet? You can make all the improvements in the world but if the netcode isn't addressed then what's the fuckin point?
These assholes have broken all kinds of sales records yet they still don't know what dedicated servers are. As if they can't afford it at this point. But don't worry Activision, the sheeple will continue to buy your shiity products because they can't think for themselves.
The irony here is too much. The government cries foul about violence in this country yet they see nothing wrong with initiating violence overseas in pointless and unconstitutional wars. Maybe the shooter wasn't influenced by violent games but a violent government.
Last time I checked, Obama and friends give the green light on drone strikes that result in the deaths of civilians in the Middle East, which include children. Where are the outcry and tears for those children?
For the love of whatever god you believe in, turn off the news and READ! Wake up people...
NBA 08 was laughable at best. Everone in the game might as well be running around with paper bags on their heads. NBA 08 doesn't do anything right wheather its graphics or gameplay.
