Top 10 Worst Things About the Call of Duty Franchise
I do not hate COD. In fact it's a really good gaming franchise. I just noticed that many people hate COD and I want to know the main reason why they hate it. Don't forget to vote.Call of Duty is not the same as it used to be four years ago when Black Ops 2 came out. Even though that game had a futuristic setting, it was still amazing. I think the whole future era of Call of Duty is too much now and it's getting old. More than half the kill-streaks that were in Black Ops 2 or games before that are not even present in the game anymore.
Advanced Warfare, Black Ops 3, and Infinite Warfare are all the same games with the same weapons, kill-streaks, and maps. Zombies mode is terrible now and doesn't even make any sense. One thing I really didn't like was that they ruined the Black Ops series after Black Ops 3 came out. The story doesn't tie into the last two Black Ops games.
The first two were great, but 3 was not. I thought Black Ops 3 was like Titanfall, and Infinite Warfare looks like Star Wars. When I watched the trailer for Infinite Warfare, I thought it looked like Advanced Warfare and Black Ops 3 combined. When it got to the scene where you fly into space and battle ships, it basically looked like X-wing fighters attacking Star Destroyers. I thought it did not look good at all. Call of Duty is terrible now!
I have this problem with whining 5-year-olds who stalk me around the map just to pull a knife and talk about how they're better than everyone else because they "are sneakier than everyone else." In reality, they are probably the most cowardly Call of Duty gamers in multiplayer if they have to stalk everyone.
This also applies to campers, though not the ones who only do it once before going back to being Rambo.
They think they are the kings of quickscopes. They hack a lot (and most still don't win). They rage a lot, don't work as a team, and most don't know how to play. If you steal their kill, they rage and start calling you a loser, telling you that you don't know how to play, even if you are the best on the team.
They shouldn't be playing M-rated games for a lot of reasons.
These people just sit around and wait for you when you are busting your ass for a high killstreak or medal.
Target finders, bouncing Betties, claymores, IEDs, and much more only help these guys. Black Ops 2 would've been much better without campers, and they need to be dealt with.
The campers just expose the same corner over and over again. Sure, they do move around, but they stay in the same general area the whole time.
Who hasn't had to deal with campers in any first-person shooter?
First of all, I want to say this: if you find a hacker in Call of Duty, just know that they suck at all video games if they hack in Call of Duty. Second, hackers are people who are bad at video games and need a way out of their bad lives. They do this by ruining the experience for everyone else and being jerks.
They think they are invincible, but they are more foolish than ever because if they reveal themselves, they get banned. Yet, they still don't learn their lesson and do it again. If they want to be hackers, fine, but they need to remember this: don't ever go on PC and do that because people on PC are serious and will not think twice to ban those who deserve it. PC gamers are on PC for a reason: to be mature and to avoid people like hackers.
Most of my Call of Duty games don't have much lag... then there is Call of Duty Black Ops 2. Demonstration time: three minutes of play time = twenty-five minutes of migrating host time.
That happens with every game, just deal with it. Lag is a common thing. Upgrade your PC and stop complaining.
However, no doubt there are some crap glitches.
Every time I play TDM on Black Ops 3, there's always someone with a lag switch or too many players online. It's mostly hackers or trolls!
It can get repetitive. You have to be in the mood or set a goal for yourself to play for hours. It's still fun for me, though.
The only non-boring game in the series is Call of Duty 4.
Yes, in my opinion, the older Call of Duties felt great to play. But now that most of its games are futuristic, it feels more repetitive. Feel free to disagree, as this is just my humble opinion.
Advanced Warfare at least used prototype technology. Black Ops 3's creators just seemed out of touch.
Each Call of Duty game gets worse and worse. I want a WWII or maybe even a WWI setting. That would change Call of Duty forever.
MW2 was the last decent Call of Duty game in terms of spawn locations and map flow. Recent Call of Duty games seem to support camping and poor play flow, making it easy to camp and hard to find people as well as pick people out from the environment at a distance.
In MW2, I could get 90+ kills and fewer than 30 deaths on the map with the oil rig. Now, I'm lucky if I can get 22-17 on a good day because of camping, spawn trapping, horrible flow, and generic graphics. Not to mention hackers.
The reason why it's overrated is that a swarm of 12-year-olds pounded our security systems that are supposed to protect the Ball of Call of Duty that is used to not ruin Call of Duty.
I really hate how much people like this game, and yet they constantly rage at basically everyone else who's playing. Just play a different game! Scratch that, a better game!
Black Ops 3 gets 9.2/10? Yeah, sure. IGN obviously gets paid by Activision or used a fanboy to review Black Ops 3. And Uncharted 4 got 9.0.
People should wake up. These quickscopers ruin Call of Duty.
Why? It's because it is so easy to quickscope nowadays, and everyone is using it as an advantage. Quickscopers are far more annoying than campers and lag. They even take out campers the second they see them.
One shot and everyone is done. One shot and you're screwed. If you're lucky, they might miss. When they do miss, you have to kill them as quickly as possible before they press RT.
They suck. It is so frustrating when you are using an SMG and you are playing to the strengths of your weapon, only to die once you put like two shots in them.
The Call of Duty community doesn't seem to care about variety as much.
Here is my opinion: little kids are always going to get their hands on games like these. I've met a 9-year-old on Grand Theft Auto V, so I mean you can't really fix this, but parents should be more careful.
The appropriate age to start playing Call of Duty should be at least 10.
Meanwhile, the oldest Call of Duty player turns 15.
Somebody can magically stab you from 15 feet away and instantly kill you, but a grenade or rocket going off 5 feet away from someone doesn't kill them? What? The game would be 1000 times better if they could get at least a few of the guns right. It seems like they just pick a random gun, change everything about it, rename it, and throw it in the game.
This game was great. What the hell is this Halo Destiny crap with Call of Duty nowadays? It's like playing a cartoon shooter with these graphics.
It does not matter if the game is realistic. What matters is if it is fun. Go play paintball if you want "realism."
I get they are getting a new one for Ghosts, but come on. You should use the same engine for one or two titles, max, not for six years. Anyway, I really do like the franchise, but this is annoying considering how much they get from the series.
It's WAY too stupid. It's not even fun anymore. It's annoying, cowardly, and game-breaking. People can just jump and shoot you. They can get to camping spots and glitches with this stupid feature.
It's just a bunch of kids who get angry and feel the need to yell racist stuff.
They should go back to Call of Duty 4 killstreaks: UAV, airstrike, helicopter. That's it.
That was so dramatic! MW3 needed to make a huge bang, and Soap's death did just that, but it was very sad. I can cry all over again if I see his death.
If there could be any way to revive him... R.I.P. Cpt. Soap MacTavish, my favorite character FOREVER!
He was so amazing. The Modern Warfare series ended with his death. It's good that we will have something new, but MW was good, and without him... NOTHING!
Activision killed off good characters and good villains.
Real snipers sit in the same spot for hours waiting for their target to come. When I try doing this in Call of Duty, I get called a noob and a cheap camper. Well, deal with it. Quick scoping is for Rambo, not "realistic" based games!
Sniping takes skill. Quick scoping does not.
Call of Duty = kill everyone and get a good kill/death ratio.
