Call of Duty games SUCK!
 

Whats so good about these games? They're all the same fighting the Russians or the Arabs...they use the same exact gaming engine every game this **** franchise is ruining gaming.

yep.

excellent insight

Agreed.

Better than Halo...

True that

wat

Twilight princess used the same engine as Ocarina of Time.

Call of duty is fun if you actually play it.

So? Ocarina of time was amazing, Call of Duty sucks nuts.

A 3-4 hour campaign followed by playing hours of "hardcore" multiplayer gaming with stupid pre-adolescent little kids is hardly something I'd call fun.

"So?" And not even realizing why I posted what I did is just an example of your moronic fanboy attitude. But I'm not surprised and I didn't come here to actually try to argue anything, just dropping facts.

You just realized this?

I have to agree, though my opinion is rather biased because I don't like fps games in general(though Team Fortress 2, Blacklight Retribution, and Tribes are acceptions.

Moronic fanboy attitude?

No, from the things found within the coding of twilight princess it was using a modified wind waker engine. You can see, and I think use a few, wind waker items. The movement system is also taken directly from wind waker.

It's an updated IW engine.

Halo>Call of newf*g modern clusterf***.
:3

Hah, Add me. Ill play cod with you.
SoaR Rizky

I played it until i was twelve.

Although I don't like Call of Duty that much, I still buy it every year, just because my friends do, and I want to be able to keep playing with them. If it was up to me I wouldn't of bought past Call of Duty 4.

I play CoD and I find it interesting.

They have stated that all Zelda games are built directly upon the engine from Ocarina of Time, and this is not surprising. Very rarely do developers create an engine from scratch because engines are serious ****. Engines evolve and get updated. Just as Twilight Princess used a modified and updated engine from Wind Waker, Wind Waker was using a modifed and updated engine from Ocarina of Time. This is a pretty common practice in game development. The only game I'm not sure about using the same engine is Skyward Sword, because everything about the game is so different(and it wasn't confirmed), but I wouldn't be surprised if they again, just updated the engine.

I don't know why many people like FPS' i could just hurl fireballs to those idiots.

I don't know why many people like Anime either but I don't think I'm better than them or they should be "fireballed" because of it.

I dont think Call of Duty is horrible, but there are much better games. All my school loves CoD. I played until CoD 6. I dislike Black Ops and Modern Wardare 3.

I don't care for them.

I've never found CoD to be innovative or particularly amazing. Sure, it's fun every once in a while at a friend's house, but otherwise there are MUCH better things that can be played.

Oh ja I did!

If I remember correctly Assassins Creed 3 uses a brand new engine built from scrath, is it really that hard (sorry to sound ignorant).

It depends on if the developers are happy with the engine they are using, and what can be done with it I suppose... and also if they literally started from scratch or just reworked the previous engine from the ground up. I can't find any actual substantial information on the AnvilNext engine, though(other than the cookie-cutter press information that every website seems to have copy/pasted), so I can't say for certain whether they truly made it from scratch or if it's just the next iteration of their current engine. edit: Okay seems the only source I could find: http://www.gameinformer.com/b/featur...il-engine.aspx implies it is made from the ground up.

However rarely do developers feel the need to do that, and rarely do their games call upon such drastic measures. What would improve from Call of Duty with a new engine? As far as my opinion goes, I think Call of Duty has some of the best lighting/shadow implementation on the console games(at least as far as multi-platform games go) and the graphics are solid enough; but engines don't define graphics. Their main purpose has always been to constantly have 60fps gameplay, and their engine offers that(you'd be surprised how many games DON'T run at 60fps, but instead 30fps or so). The bullet physics and such defined the current fps genre and are still holding strong, so no need to make changes for that... I can't see a single reason why they'd want a new engine. MW2 made substantial upgrades to their engine, and I think Black Ops 2 is doing the same thing. Standard stuff here... I just don't see a need to criticize the engine.

And yes, creating engines is hard work, and more importantly fairly time consuming. Remember that engines control EVERYTHING in the game and are basically the building blocks. So when you start an engine from scratch you're essentially starting with a blank file and doing EVERYTHING in the game all over. This includes lighting/shadows, animation support, physics, NPC AI and... EVERYTHING. You have to code all of that all over again. This is why many games don't develop their own engines and instead use commercial engines. For example Fallout 3 was made using the engines from the Elder Scroll games, which in turn were apparently using a commercial engine called Gamebryo. Many games use the physics engine Havok, instead of creating their own physics.

I would never argue against dusty :0

Don't like it, don't play it.

Ah I see where you're coming from with this! Also Black Ops 2 has the same MW2 engine but I suppose it gets the job done as the games are all the same
anyway. Creating engines does seem like lots of hard work and I believe it can pay off though Assassin's Creed 3 is beating Black Ops 2 in pre-orders due to the new engine!

Most people who play Call of Duty would say the same thing about Graal, and rightfully so. Pointless thread.

Meh call of duty should be renamed to Childs Online Daycare since theres so many lil kids on it.

Now what blows COD and Halo out of the water is battlefield 3

Major noob. All you're doing is fanning the fire.

Waaaaaay better. I think CoD is fine. Especially zombies mode.

Noob

Oricarna of time is the gayest **** I ever heard of,and I'm sure you sucked horribly at the game and just got through raging. xD

I swear,this community...

GET OUT; NOW.

Call of Booty: Black C*cks

You on crack?

DID SUM1 JUS DIS ZAMBEHZZZ OH SHIZ

Halo whoops ass... And i've wanted to play BF3 but I don't have another $60 (Or whatever it is i'm not positive) on an online pass when i already need XBL.

AC3 has been in development for a good few years. CoD has less than a year to come out with a new game, if they keep up with their usual annual november releases.

Technically CoD is developed by two different development teams. Infinity Ward makes the "official" CoD's that maintain the numbering sequence, and Treyarch develops the offshoot CoD games, like World at War and Black Ops. They're not developed together, so each CoD game is developed for around two years.

Activision are the ones ****ing over games like CoD, not the developers. Activision considers everyone as expendable and if you're not churning out **** as fast as possible for them they'll just toss you aside and find someone else to do your job. The fact that these games have absolutely ANY innovation at all(for example the Zombies game appearing in WaW, Black Ops 2 having a drastically overhauled class system[one that has remained largely untouched since Modern Warfare], and trying out a new setting) is somewhat amazing; because if I were the devs I wouldn't give a single **** about the quality, yet they seem to at least try. The original Modern Warfare team were ****ed by Activision and fired, so they have formed their own team of developers so let's see what they can do when they have some freedom to do something new for a change.

I like Call of Duty just fine, although it gets repetitive. I play it on the Wii, but the port works better than most people think it does. It's no masterpiece, but it's a good game, and pretty much defines the genre for online fps, although Halo can arguably take this spot. Its got good elements, but would be better if it had

instead of rolling thunder or AC 130

I haven't played Call of Duty since August, and I can't say I miss it.
