As discussion on the next CoD has begun (even just a little) I've been thinking about this game and how it stacks up to the rest.
Leaving aside the single-player (never was a major attraction for me throughout the franchise), what do I think about the multi-player?
I have to say I believe it to be under-rated. I've played it a lot since Xmas and having caught myself up in various challenges, I think it is a solid addition.
Innovation - It was difficult for the makers to bring the brand somewhere new, but the addition of the Exo-Suits was a solid one in my opinion. I've played a good bit of domination and hardpoint and being able to make it across the map far quicker makes for tonnes more captures and dogfights. Half the problem of Ghosts was the maps were massive and you ran 20 seconds, only to be killed and have to repeat your run again, which was very frustrating. The exos cut that time down into 10 seconds
They have given the option to play without the Exos, and I tried this but the change of pace to one which was much slower didn't suit anymore. Then again, I was always a "gung ho" type of player (hence my **** k/d ratio!)
Maps - Again, fairly solid on this front. There are no maps I hate and they tend overall to pose a few different challenges.
Guns - Some crazy, additions, including one yimrag I'm sure loves - the double LMGs. good variety, lack of a proper shotgun... ok, I mean a Spas type from MW2 but in fairness that was waaaay overpowered (but oh so much fun!)
Lag/hit detection - generally happy with it. I haven't rage quit this half as much as I used to with previous, so it would mean to me I reckon it's relatively fair. 80% of the time I'm not cursing playing this game, and if you ask my wife, that's a welcome and surprising change
Spawns - most of the time I can't complain. You can still spawn trap on Dom but I'm not spawning into bullets so its okay in my view.
Advancement - I do believe there are far too many prestiges, and some of the challenges are plainly too difficult, but having said that if you are of a mind to, you could keep going. Certainly, I topped all prestiges in most previous CoD and still play them, so I guess I have the option in this to keep prestiging if wanted.
Customisation - leaving aside all the camo etc (frankly, it doesn't register with me as something important) I reckon its a very clever system, especially the customisation of the killstreaks too. Only certain ones allow you to keep your points going towards them despite dying, so it is fairer than previous incarnations.
Overall - there are still complete numpties playing the game who have no concept of playing the objective, but it has been like that since MW2 and probably Cod4 but I wasn't online at that stage so can't be sure. I can't tell if the lack of love for this game is caused by its perceived flaws, or alternatively that the franchise to some is somewhat jaded. There are less people (that I know) online that's for sure. Is it because there are other games out there/genres that are more attractive? Its hard to tell. One thing is for certain, in my opinion its a solid game, one which I'll keep for some time yet and will no doubt go back to again.0 -
