No I hear you but MW is a lot more similar than Halo was. But that also has a lot to do with the fact that MW has always been in the new gen while Halo started off in last gen (Xbox, GC, PS2) and moved onto the new gen (XB360, Wii, PS3).
Just because it's part of a series or trilogy doesn't mean they can't add more mechanics to the game and what exactly did they improve this time around? This is the same concept as madden, same game every year but with updated stats and the game mechanics are still the same as they were years ago. The last thing I have to say is Skyrim is similar to Oblivion? lol
you are right. How do you re design gun play? You don't. They have a good formula (for a fast paced FPS). The problem they had with MW2 was a few broken aspects. They ridded that, and they added a ton of depth. They also made changes to a few of the gameplay aspects. You sound like a glass half empty person.
Not to mention that Madden has ABSOLUTELY NO competition, Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer had to really work at this game so it could compete with another
ok...mw discussion over... You seriously prefer reach's gameplay over 2 and 3? I kinda don't like you now. 3 will always be my favorite the ranked system imho has been the best ranking system in any fps i've played. Only great players were generals in their original accounts
I'm comparing the two not because they are similar genres but because they have the same marketing principle. They release a new one every year and it has little added than the previous versions. And the problem with Madden has nothing to do with the player controlling 1 person, it lacks in important features which were in football games 6 years ago.
Kill streaks are entirely different which changes the multiplayer quite a bit. And not necessarily what the kill streaks ARE (there are some new ones) as much as how you earn them and use them now. There's way more options as far as that goes. The gun leveling system is completely new and awesome as well. Not to mention a bunch of new modes, gun sway,
We're assholes because we made a purchase on something?
The most balance/competitive COD with aim-helper and killstreaks stacking? yaok
I wasn't talking about the ranking system but yes I do agree that Halo 3 had a great ranking system but the game engine might as well been the book "Halo for dummies" no offense to anyone. It was their first game on the 360 so I think that's why and ODST was just all wrong, Wars was a nice change of pace and Reach was awesome. The engine for Reach...I felt like I was playing the classics but on a new gen system. The gameplay in Reach is far better than 3 and my favorite part about Reach is the shooting system....it's not about quantity anymore it's about quality which was lost in Halo 3.
MW2 > Black Ops >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> CoD4 > CoD2
This post is just straight blasphemy! CoD4 is hands down the best CoD game, it's not even close or up for debate.
Everyone says that and I just don't get it. The campaign was the worst of the CoDs I've played and the multiplayer is ridicoulosly imbalanced with awful maps. And on the PC dedicated servers just made it worse. You CANNOT find 12 player servers, even 18 is rare. And 40 player 24/7 Shipment HC is just as fun as the 57 player Broadcast 24/7 servers. It's considered the best in the series, I'm fine with that, It's just me being on the wrong side of the gun.This post is just straight blasphemy! CoD4 is hands down the best CoD game, it's not even close or up for debate.
You should see what a cute kitten I made for emblem :3 .
The campaign was good, but who gives a shit about the campaign anyway? How exactly was CoD4 imbalanced may I ask? Also, CoD4 has probably the best maps of any FPS game. There's maybe 1 or 2 "bad" maps in the game, and they're not bad just not as good in comparison to the others.
Can't tell if serious. If everyone uses the exact same gun that would cry imbalance, not balance.
I know the campaign is not the point, but I had fun with all the other campaigns, except this one. And how was it imbalanced? The ak-47 was a joke. Very high damage and the sight was bouncing up and down, but the actual recoil was very low. There were just no point in using any other assault rifle. Same with SMGs, the MP5 and the AK74 had the same stats, but the latter had a much better recoil pattern. From my experience, these 2 weapons owned all the others and pretty much everyone used them. The snipers, lmgs and shotguns were okay, though the M249 was borderline imo. In MW2 there is so much broken shit it was almost balanced. And yeah, I didn't like the maps either. Crash for example is one that I hate with a passion.
