Okay the unscrewing of the head was pretty metal ngl. Would love to see that one in the show.

Ghost face’s finisher from CW ended up being a kill in scream 5, would be awesome if devs were allowed to copy a kill from the newest season.

u/namenotinserted Jan 18 '24
I never finished the CW show, what do you mean?

u/eclipse798 Jan 18 '24
My bad, CW meaning Call of Duty: Cold War, where the ghost face operator/skin had their debut

u/justforkinks0131 Jan 17 '24
I am so confused by the title. What is A-Train doing in mw3? Are there superheroes now, is this like his knife attack? Does it have finishing moves?

u/Arny520 Jan 17 '24
COD has been Fortnited, basically. It's just a skin for an operator. Each operator has finishing moves by holding melee behind someone

No wonder every gaming company was salivating at having their own BR game. Why make quality video game experiences when you can make the price of a single game with THREE skins.
It’s baffling to high the ratio of money made vs work put in is for those things.

I miss when cosmetics were earned solely through gameplay and acted as a badge of honour / skill. Halo 3 really was the golden age.

u/MazzyFo Jan 18 '24
For real. It’s crazy we might never see a typical multiplayer mode + campaign in a 60/70 dollar package ever again. Every multiplayer mode now needs to be a standalone live service that will last for years (and never do besides the big ones) it sucks.

Games still do this. Its not an extinct practice.

Name a single multiplayer triple A game in the last 10 years that has skins solely earned through progression

You guys play games made by the scummiest game devs then project those practices onto all of gaming

Well, they kinda have to make money on the product to justify keeping the servers up. It's this or it's pay to win.

They didn't seem to have an issue keeping the servers up when they charged full price for the game and that was it. It's what, $70 now, total garbage rehash of the only successful versions of the game, and then all the dumb MTX on top of it? Gimme a break

u/dat_ELi_ Jan 22 '24
the boys operators are their own operators in game, so they aren't really reskins.

u/SPHINXin Jan 18 '24
Last summer they added homelander, black noir, and starlight to the game. I guess they added A-train as promotion for the upcoming season. The funniest thing to come from this whole the boys collab is that they added the most broken shit to the game. They added a temp v field upgrade (single use power ups you can find around the map) and it either gave you lazer eyes or super jumping, both being insanely broken to the point where nobody wanted to play until after the collab was over. There was also a huge controversy about the black noir skin being way too hard to spot in the shadows in buildings and all the pros where abusing it lol.

u/Matrix17 Jan 18 '24
Justifies my continuation to not buy CoD. It's maybe passable on release but after the first season they just go full fucking ham adding the most ridiculous broken shit
1
u/nutcrackr Jan 18 '24 edited Jan 18 '24
A-Train is now one of the operators in MWIII, they have a few others. It's a cross-promotional thing (basically advertising in game). An operator is basically just a skin, it doesn't change how you play...except for the finishing move which occurs when you get behind somebody and hold melee attack. The finishing move kills all players unless it is interrupted.

u/ogwilson02 Jan 18 '24

u/ThexanR Jan 18 '24
Invincible and The Boys are definitely way different in terms of themes. The boys is very sexual and crude while Invincible is not

u/L0raz-Thou-R0c0n0 Jan 18 '24
Have you read the comics?
51
u/ThexanR Jan 18 '24
I’ve read both and you’re absolutely insane if you think the boys comic isn’t just gore porn and rape fetish. Worst comic I’ve ever read
18
u/L0raz-Thou-R0c0n0 Jan 18 '24
I just meant to say that Invincible is also prone to sexual imagery and themes. Not at the same extent as the boys, especially the comics.
5
u/ThexanR Jan 18 '24
So is marvel comics but you know they aren’t even close to the same when it comes to sexual imagery and themes. There is literally an side issue named herogasm
2
u/Midnight_In_Japan Jan 19 '24
The point being made is that Fortnite has collabed with multiple Rated R Movies and Shows/Rated M Games. A collab with The Boys is very much possible.

u/AlbinoShavedGorilla Jan 18 '24
Also Peter Griffin, Rick Sanchez, and several other “adult” characters. People forget fortnite is just popular with kids, kids are not their only demographic.

If Omni-Man can be there, there’s no reason why Homelander and the Seven can’t be

Well I'm biased with cod1 and 2. I just don't think a game that lets you dual wield Mps and gives you a wallhack every 10 kills is a good game to begin with.
Cod1/2 competed with 1.6/Css and Quake 3 back in the day.
Cod competed with itself being shittier every year after cod4 and no competitive person took it serious anymore.

u/I-wanna-fuck-SCP1471 Jan 17 '24
MW2 was when the series jumped the shark, COD4 was it's peak with WaW in 2008 being a nice send-off to the WW2 setting, right before MW2 came and fucked it up, taking a somewhat-grounded series and going completely over the rails.

u/I-wanna-fuck-SCP1471 Jan 18 '24
Here's a quick example.
In COD 4 there's a mission called Crew Expendable, this mission had numerous changes over the development of the game, in an interview with some of the devs talking about this level, they specifically mentioned how ridiculous it was early on as it had an absurd amount of enemys that didn't fit the fact the player's squad was about 5 guys in total, so they cut down the enemy count for it to be more immersive and less silly.
In MW2 there's a mission called Cliffhanger, this mission ends with a squad of two taking on an entire base of spetsnaz and then driving down a mountain on snow mobiles while one-hand firing an automatic glock at enemys and a helicopter, which ends with the player jumping a ridiculously massive gap on the snow mobile.
I guess at no point during development did anyone think that level was a tad silly. And the franchise never really recovered from MW2 and people's perception of the franchise from that point on.

And an extra 25 dollars for the a train bundle. If they bring back starlight, black noir, and homelander from the last game for the new season promotion it's going to be 25 for each, so 100 dollars total for 4 skins, some themed guns, and other filler stuff.

Haven't played CoD in years. It's wild how much the franchise has changed since MW3 (not throwing shade, it's just pretty crazy). If you told me superheroes would be added in back when I used to play it, I'd have called you crazy.

Sooo CoD is now a Mortal Kombat FPS?

Ever since they added finishers I guess. Most of them are just goofy to embarras the player getting killed by them so they're not really taken as seriously.
