Violetta Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 This is for everyone who complains about how bad the Call of Duty franchise is. I agree with you that the games sucked after the first two, and yes, it's a bad franchise. It's terrible, but that's the point. Activision isn't making their subsidiaries (Infinity Ward, Treyarch, and Sledgehammer) make the next great game, they are purposely releasing garbage games every year. But that's okay, a game can be terrible, and yet still have some enjoyment. Prime examples of this are Modern Warfare 2 and StarCraft II, both games are absolutely terrible, yet they both have their moments (well SC2 doesn't really have any moments, since Kotick really ruined that game when Activision had a merger with Blizzard). I think the Call of Duty games should come out every year. The Call of Duty games are like car models, they release a new one every year, even if they've only changed a few things. But that's okay, because a few new things is usually an improvement over nothing changed (except for in the case of StarCraft II which is universally hated by fans of the original game for a reason; it sucks, they dumbed it down, they ruined custom map making, region restrictions, no LAN, internet required for single player, Battle.net 2.0 being worse than the original Battle.net, micro-transactions, Nazi-like custom map moderation, etc.), but Call of Duty games are supposed to be garbage, like I said. They are meant to be guilty pleasures. So please, Activision, don't stop throwing out one or two a year, in fact, please keep it up, because I don't care about how bad Call of Duty is, I, like most people, will buy it anyway.

entrerix Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 i think this was posted on the wrong forum. ps: starcraft 2 was terrible? uh oh, somebody tell everybody! Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.

Thorton_AP Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I like SC2 and don't think it's terrible at all. For some reason it seems like you really just want to rant about SC2 in your post, while telling Activision to keep making games you don't think are very good yet just fun enough?

I want teh kotor 3 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Since when is SC2 anything but great?

Hurlshort Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 It's like someone broke into my private mental journal, and read all my thoughts on Call of Duty, and then refuted them. Amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcador Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 SC2 was okay. Still feel it was a waste of money though, once I finished the SP. Ah well. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maria Caliban Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 It's terrible, but that's the point. I wonder how this tactic would work for other luxturies. If a resturant changed $60 for a meal that tasted like crap on purpose, would it become one of the most popular resturants ever? "When is this out. I can't wait to play it so I can talk at length about how bad it is." - Gorgon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaftan Barlast Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I thought Violetta was a bot?
