I took a few years off CoD, but I’ve been having fun with this one. I was in the mood for some old school CoD multiplayer.
I think ‘reasons to use flamethrowers’ haven’t really changed much from WW2 to games now. They’re still in there because they’re psychologically terrifying more than that they work awesome. Although they do work a lot better in games, ‘cuz you can design whole spaces for ‘make dudes crispy here’.
I’m pretty sure I’ve played through that Normandy mission already like fifteen years ago. Too bad allied assault didn’t have any lootboxes, would’ve been 10/10.
This footage reminds me of nothing more than one of those light gun games. Like Mad Dog McCree or something.
And of course the loot boxes also have to contain essential stuff like emotes. Because we all know how important those features are for the quality of a game. A multiplayer mode is simply not complete if your character is not able to jump or wave around like a complete moron. Especially in the shooter genre.
As expected, one to miss. I bet the multiplayer servers are still awash with snot-dribbling bratty mongrel bastards who’ve fucked your mother.
Oh, so you’re telling me that if I want to shoot Nazis, then I should just go buy Wolfenstein 2, yeah?
I am here to remind you of the name Activision/Blizzard
I’m really enjoying the campaign. I think there’s too many stealth missions, but other than that, it brings me back to the good old days of playing World At War.
So watching players open lootboxes increases social score, and an increase of social score is proportional to an increase of better loot out of a lootbox. What stops exploitation? Players can simply loiter about the Casino of Normandy all day watching players open lootboxes increasing social score to the chance of a better lootbox outcome.
Call of duty: Some kind of warfare
Honestly, I don’t know why anyone would by a CoD game except for that very insular multiplayer niche of gamers. The single player is just never worth it. Even back when it was “good” it was really just a so-so on rails shooter with some impressive scenes that you might as well just watch in a youtube video (back when you could) and then after the 20 min movie, go out and buy a good game.
Especially now when we have some genuinely great FPS games again — largely from id — I really don’t see why anyone would buy into CoD. Except to experience the same old multiplayer grind they’ve literally become addicted to, or the painfully boring and repetitive ZOMBIES mode that uses the same tricks. That they are also now using this as a test bed for some really egregious and manipulative commercialism-run-amok only seals the deal for me in that the series is basically not worth my attention.
Remember the first COD with the Russian campaign? Fucking brilliant campaign that was!
It’s a pretty common myth that flamethrowers were ineffective pieces of crap. Flamethrowers actually were extremely effective at clearing out tight spaces like bunkers, houses and caves, since the fire could bounce off walls due to the pressure. Flamethrowers were made to clear out and destroy positions, not to storm them.
Flamethrowers tanks also do not explode simply by shooting them, that’s something Hollywood made up. They’ll leak, that’s it. They have to be hit by high caliber tracer rounds to (maybe) catch fire, and hand-held rifles and submachine guns didn’t use traces back in WW2.
to anyone in the comments, if you want a true ww2 experience on pc, get Day of infamy, its hella realistic but also hella fun!
Why is the pistol 1 hit kill and the rifles are not? The fuck is this game
Not gonna lie. The game- and gunplay looks so fucking dull. The part where he drags his comrade through the dirt, 3 germans show up and he just calmly points his pistol at an enemy and goes “puff” made me laugh.
This video made me reinstall the brothers in arms series and enjoy a story about a squad actually being good.
Ah, the mandatory Overlord level. First thing that hit me was how graphically ugly the game is. Look at the dirt explosions that spring up, they look terrible.
Which is taking place in World War Two, because battlefield did alright!? had me dying
At the mention of Battlefield 1, I thought “A WWI Call of Duty would have been interesting”
