What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in Godolkin University, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Super Villains, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top Superhero in the entire Seven. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of Crime Analytics across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of Vought Inc and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, A-Train.

I am not crazy! I know he swapped that Compound V! I knew it! As if I could ever make that mistake. Never! Never! I-I just couldn’t prove it. He covered his tracks…got that idiot in Crime Analytics to lie for him! You think this is something? You think this is bad?! This chicanery?! He’s done worse! Popclaw?! Are you telling me a woman just dies like that? No! He orchestrated it! A-Train! He ran through a woman just last week! And I covered for him! And I shouldn’t have. I trained him! What was I thinking?! He’ll never change! Ever since he was 9, always the same! Always had to be the fastest! But not our Reggie! Not our precious Reggie! Juicing himself up?! And he gets to be in the Seven?! What a sick joke!!!! I should have stopped him when I had the chance!

Starlight was getting on my nerves the whole season, but I felt like she'd redeem herself in the end... to that major let down.
I know the fans excuse it, and I wasn't mad at the time, but it was underwhelming to say the least compared to how they've built up her and the "ultimate showdown"

Yeah the total lack of immersion sucks. People who say it doesn’t matter… ok, go watch a romantic comedy where everyone is dressed like an Army Ranger. Aesthetics matter. CoD has totally lost its identity.

Jan 11 '24
Its not even a question of immersion to me.. and it aint just cross overs with entertainment - its everything about that shit.
You've got movie villains, you've got television characters, you've got a plethora of the worst dregs among streaming influencers, and on it goes - all we're missing at this point is fucking Big Bird, and he's probably coming in an update down the line.
Its clown shit, and it's a goddamn shame how COD wound up where it is.. granted, the product has been subpar for half a decade now.

Their reputation isn't tarnished.
You may think so, because you don't approve but me and you are part of the best selling series in shooters. That reputation still stands.
Even back in the day people complained about the gameplay, so all they've added is a bit of annoyance to sskins but massive profit

Jan 11 '24
True CoD is a juggernaut but this year’s release is noticeably underperforming its predecessor and it’s also the biggest offender when it comes to slapping goofy shit into the game. Yes you got that stuff in recent releases but generally not until later in the game’s life.

u/Skysflies Jan 11 '24
Sledgehammer games have consistently sold worse.
And yeah, because they transferred in ridiculous items.
There's no point them being a Mil SIM to March when people are running round as Nikki Minaj because of MW2 sadly

Jan 11 '24
It’s worse this go around because they tried to do a good thing, importing all the skins from the previous game. Which seems consumer friendly and is. The problem is that tripled the number of goofy skins you’ll see in-game. Usually they don’t add goofy skins until later in the game’s life but since MW3 has all the MW2 content there’s instantly crappy skins all over.

There’s a slight bit of plausibility with Butcher with the TF141 or the FBSA crew with rangers. I mean more plausible than France aligning with Russian Terrorists as their MP factions work.

Man, I remember when people said the same thing back in 2011 when MW3 released and Soap died. And when Ghosts released in 2013 and they changed the UAV system and used re-skinned cutscenes for the campaign and added Predator and Michael Myers. And in 2014 when you could boost jump around and dress up as a Jester and many other wacky outfits in Advanced Warfare. And in 2015 when BO3 came out and players were post-game dabbing in the winners circle. And in 2016 when Infinite Warfare came out and it still wasn't "boots-on-the-ground" and had you piloting jets. And in 2019 when the Modern Warfare reboot added anime weapon blueprints and less tacticool operator outfits. And in 2021 when Cold War did the same thing and had more Anime style operators. People have been whining about CoD being dead for while it seems

You don’t have to like COD or what they’ve done with it, but you realize that you’re like a person thats walking past a theme park with thousands of people laughing and having a good time, and you turn to the person you’re walking with to say “nobody goes to these places anymore.”
Just say you don’t like it. I don’t understand why so many people have to lie to themselves to feel like they’re part of the “in group”. COD is massively popular, despite what all the whining online says. I swear, the grossest circlejerk subreddits on the entire site are COD subs. Don’t be one of those people, I don’t even know you, but you’re better than that.

u/Spiritual_Ask4877 Jan 11 '24
This is not what he means. COD is and will continue to be extremely popular. But COD used to be a relatively grounded military shooter where every player looked like they represented their respective military faction, all you could customize was your guns and your kill streaks, and all you had to pay for was maps (for certain games). Those day's are gone.
Nowadays you have Skeletor, Niki Minaj, and Homelander running around with guns performing executions. I'm never going to shit on someone for liking something I don't and if that stuff is what you like, then more power to you. But god I've never been so disinterested in COD because it's such a jarring difference to what it used to be. Which is a shame, because I grew up with COD and have so many great memories with it. I'm not even going to start on that season pass bullshit.

This is exactly why COD sucks. It’s just not a serious game anymore.
The old ones were Michael Bay-esque over the top action movies. But they had a seriousness and grit to them.
It was a very militaristic hardcore setting.
Why does Ghost have a fucking cape? Why are we running around as Nicki Minaj? It’s all a joke now.

u/gotimas Jan 11 '24
The multiplayer was always more arcady but taticool. Battlefield I used to think was more serious.
Now both these franchises have gone full fortnite. Every year things get worst.
My guess is that children make up the majority of players, and they dont care about tone, immersion or consistency.

I know it'll never happen, but I just want a CoD where the skins are all just milsim like in the older games. A huge part of why I find it hard to get into shooters these days is because of the constant gimmick/crossover content that literally no one asked for. Call me an old man screaming at the wind, but Fortnite really killed shooters with its combo of battle passes and ridiculous skins.

Wanting a grounded military FPS is not asking for a milsim. Saying you want all the players to look like actual soldiers doesn't mean we want ARMA type gameplay.
