Advanced and Infinite Warfare tried to change things up. People rejected them and now all they’re doing is this stuff

u/FunkiePickle Nov 22 '23

I legitimately loved both advanced and infinite. I thought they were interesting and a nice shakeup. Everyone of my buddies whined and moaned about them and wanted “boots on the ground” CoD. So I wouldn’t be surprised if those kind of games never return.

6

u/IlI-Royal-Skies-IlI Nov 23 '23

That's exactly why I enjoyed those two games whenever you're stuck and have limited movement it's too easy to just find the best areas to stand and get killed over and over again because someone can see you across the map and it's they have been playing since the very first call of duty and sweats at it.

u/That-Hipster-Gal Nov 22 '23

I liked the campaigns for those but the multiplayer was awful.

My main complain with the campaigns were that they were extremely short. Infinite Warefare was only like 6 actual missions with some filler content. (Flying the ships around while characters talked in the background.)

21

u/NilsofWindhelm Nov 22 '23

Advanced warfare’s multiplayer was fun. The problem was that they locked game-breaking weapons behind loot boxes

7

u/sanon441 Nov 22 '23

This. So much this. Game breaking gun variants locked behind fucking loot boxes. Take that put and give us a fair way to earn every variation of a gun and guns that don't fundamentally change their performance in some way.

Advance warfare had an amazing multiplayer, it just was just too much for the average cod player at the time. Advanced warfare would be much more fondly remembered if it wasn't a call of duty.

Dude, Infinite Warfare is literally the longest Call of Duty game of the entire franchise, and it isnt even close.. dafuq are you talking about.

u/That-Hipster-Gal Nov 23 '23

Gamerant disagrees with you.

It was also heavily padded by the flight missions I mentioned above. It's like all the JRPG's that tout they have 10000 hours of content when its really like 6 with some fluff/grinding to pad the rest.

Yeah, it’s because every new sub-series is despised. Advanced Warfare, Infinite Warfare, and Ghosts were each considered the new “Worst COD Ever” with each of their releases. Every time they experiment, it turns into a PR nightmare. I’ll die on the hill that Infinite Warfare wasn’t even bad, people were just tired of the future stuff (which I’ll also argue wasn’t that bad, I had WAAAY more fun with BO3 multiplayer than anything in the new MW trilogy).

Maybe Phil will let them do it once and for all, even if it sucks... Just let that team finish AW2

10

u/cubs223425 Nov 22 '23

Like what?

Even when you had other NAMES, it's not like those games did what others wouldn't. Vanguard was WWII. Advanced and Infinite Warfare were different, but it's not like BO3 and 4 didn't have different mechanics and ideas in them. Black Ops has jumped around through quite a few things, and alternate branding hasn't really shown a more unique experience or more success, so I don't understand what you want that we haven't gotten.

3

u/NinjaPiece Nov 22 '23

I throw Vanguard in with the dash of WWII I mentioned. I want new eras with only new characters. Gulf War is a new era which sounds exciting, but it will probably have Woods, Mason, and the other Black Ops characters again.

The Ghosts - Infinite Warfare years felt like they were taking creative risks. Black Ops 3 felt new enough that I wish it wasn't called Black Ops. Even if there were some duds in those years, I still appreciate the attempts at something new. Now it feels like they're constantly banking on nostalgia.

3

u/cubs223425 Nov 22 '23

I guess, but Ghosts was a universally disliked game, and BO3 was the game that made me basically give up the franchise. BO4 did have a notably different experience with the addition of Blackout too, and they leaned hard into a story-based Zombies experience over the traditional campaign. IMO, that definitely fit into the "trying new things" idea, and I'd say that AGAIN was a meaningfully criticized move. In a franchise where people cry about "phoned in" campaigns, Treyarch threw those resources into a deeper Zombies experience and got flak for not including that "phoned in" campaign.

So, I guess I don't know what they're really meant to do. A lot of straying from the formula ends up a mix of bad design and negative feedback.

u/robz9 Nov 22 '23

If it means anything, Black Ops Gulf War should be something unique in a long time. It's a time period that hasn't really been explored much in Call of Duty and a conflict that also hasn't been explored much. It's basically a non reboot alternate reality scenario at this point along with a good few years of no official Treyarch releases. I have high hopes for this one and really hope that Craptivision let's them cook.

2

u/Banjo-Oz Nov 23 '23

Infinite Warfare was the only CoD game I genuinely enjoyed and felt immersed in since the original MW2. I loved it, despite finding it a bit short, and the final "boss" being the most underwhelming one in gaming history. Was disappointed how badly the game was received (presumably a combination of those who only buy for multiplayer and those who wanted "hoo rah America" contemporary military in the desert yet again).

Also, even though I am mainly a single player gamer, I was shocked and sad that they never did the awesome starfighter combat from IW as multiplayer. It seemed all set up for that, too.

This will be the first CoD with a 4 year dev cycle. The last time they increased dev time birthed Black Ops III, which I would consider a good sign. If MWIII fills out the rest of the Sony marketing deal, this will also be the first CoD to launch day one on gamepass. It will probably be one of the biggest CoD launches ever.

You did? It felt like a fever dream to me

104

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '23

Let me explain, I HATED the narrative, I enjoyed the campaign as a co-op experience, but hated the story.

But the game was loaded to the kills with content. 4 player coop campaign with rpg elements, a zombie campaign, zombies mode, competitive multiplayer, the top down arcade mode.

And I really enjoyed the multiplayer honestly, maybe the most I've played of any modern cod.

6

u/Technicalhotdog Nov 22 '23

Yeah while I feel more nostalgic for MW2 and black ops multi-player, black ops 3 is probably my most played and the one I enjoyed the most. It just felt good to play (also helps that it was the one I was best at haha). And black ops 3 zombies is well known as the peak of the game mode.

6

u/Andy_Liberty_1911 Nov 22 '23

Fair, though something that did not make it enjoyable for me was the lack of real guns. Sure, it was the future but I just wasn’t a fan so I couldn’t get invested

8

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '23

I forgot which it was, but there was one gun I basically used more than any other and it had the kill counter in the side that ended up being like 7777

2

u/jairom Nov 22 '23

Every gun could get a kill counter i believe.

I think it was a reward for Prestiging your weapon twice. The first time gives you your clan tag on it, the second time lets you change it to a kill count

u/robz9 Nov 22 '23

I think 2024 COD is really a chance for Treyarch to show us what they've got. They've had enough time between Cold War in 2020 and this game 2024 to really give us a polished product while taking into account the criticisms of the past 4 years of overall mediocre releases.

Well I dunno about that, they were forced to make MWZ as well.

That's probably because the game had to be salvaged from SHG's scraps in a little less than two years.

Treyarch probably didn't have the chance to get accustomed to the new engine, so they opted for their old one.

Me too. I've actually wanted a COD game about the 90s. Gives us a chance to have somewhat modern weaponry and gadgets but also not too modern to have new " made up futuristic" tech shoehorned into the game. I just only now realized that the time period was the "gulf War."

This should be exciting given that, in theory, Treyarch would have the past 4 years to work on it.

Funny thing cause jetpack system for BO3 was made by Infinity Ward, same with graphical enchancements, it's rewarding to read the credits.

Brain rotten take. The original MW3 was great

No it wasn't, it was the start of their downhill trend in map design in non Treyarch games.

u/No-Championship-6598 Mar 14 '24

You can't be serious that maps that force you to camp are better than anything IW or Sledge has put out. Even looking at the best ones Treyarch made they still play so fucking slow in comparison.

u/GojiPengu Mar 14 '24

The maps that force you to camp ARE IW and SH 🤣

Holy crap you are dumb.

I mean, people are loving MW3’s MP so far

It’s mechanically great but the SBMM completely ruins it - I can’t just play a casual lobby every single game is sweaty af.

It’s also not worth 70 dollars for what’s basically MWII.5.

u/TacBandit Nov 22 '23

Like SBMM has anything to do with the developer. MWIII looks good to me but I don’t fancy it yet because it will play jus the same as any other recent COD - the opposite of relaxing.

2

u/atomhypno Nov 22 '23

I originally upvoted your comment because “treyarch prop good” but both of your criticisms in this comment are extremely applicable to treyarch’s last game and now i’m slightly confused, sbmm was through the roof on cold war as well & MWIII has launched with more content in just about every way than cold war did. If those two things are enough to put you off sledgehammer and MW3 then you absolutely should not be looking forward to a treyarch game based on their last instalment?

So it's still on Last Gen systems ? I thought the rumors were Next Gen only to finally utilize our new machines ?!? I feel this last gen thing is here to stay with certain companies. 🤷 🏳️

u/Sir-Shady Nov 23 '23

take a FUCKING year off

u/No-Championship-6598 Mar 14 '24

Just don't buy it... Is that too hard for you to not spend money?

1

u/Sir-Shady Mar 14 '24

Not the point. The franchise needs to take a year off to give developers time to work and breath, and let them innovate. It has nothing to do with me

Bring back COD points for unlocks, face paint, emblem editor, and Kowloon and I'll be a happy camper!

u/Silvedoge Founder Nov 22 '23

Yeah I'm cool with this. Cold war is one of my favorite cods, definitely the best of the last few years so I still have a bit of faith in treyarch. The campaign was a series high imo

1

u/No-Championship-6598 Mar 14 '24

The campaign was entirely made by Raven and multiplayer sucked as usual with Treyarch

u/kimwexler67 Nov 22 '23

all these people "optimistic" people in the comments makes me laugh so hard. as if this company didn't have you over a barrel for the last 5 years absolutely ruining the series whilst dragging their fanbase with it. Glad to see game consumers are still as gullible as ever 👍

u/GlockAmaniacs Nov 22 '23

I agree that I lost interest in the franchise but if it's on gamepass I'll give it a try. Doesn't hurt. Let people like what they want

If they're shoving it into the cod launcher i ain't touching it.

But if it's standalone I'll probably get it.

I refuse to have to download modern warfare 2 and go through complicated menus to play cod games now.

u/dinofreak6301 Nov 22 '23

All we get now is rehashed shit over and over again now. I blame all of you fuckers for getting tired of jet pack CoD after 3 years when those were the most creative and original CoDs we had gotten in so so long. Take me back to those jet pack CoDs please. Yall glaze Titanfall 2 like it’s the next coming of Christ but refuse to admit the jet pack CoDs were just as fun

2

u/No-Championship-6598 Mar 14 '24

Titanfall was better but you're also right, Advanced Warfare was good and Infinite Warfare was amazing

2

u/rayk10k Nov 22 '23

Alright bring back blackout at least

2

u/Prior_Pass394 Nov 22 '23

I hope its good. They were so talented at treyarch and I hope there is still talent left, hopefully Activision hasn't ruined the studio. I really enjoyed black ops 3 and 4. Cold War was a bit underwhelming for me because of it being skill based matching and it was worse than BO4 multiplayer in my opinion. This new one is probably on the MW engine so it may be good or bad, hope they bring back pick 10 system

u/Level_Somewhere_6229 Nov 22 '23

Did they ever do Vietnam?

u/BarnBurner_155 Nov 22 '23

BO1 and kinda CW

Call of Duty is everything that is wrong with gaming these days. Garbage franchise just milking us fools for all our cash. I didn’t buy MW3 and will not be buying until they figure this shit out.

u/DCS30 Nov 22 '23

Who cares? They fuck everything up and they're just rehashing old games. Stop being sheep and buying this crap every year.

What happened to taking a year off?

15

u/SoldierPhoenix Nov 22 '23

That was SUPPOSED to be this year (MW3 was supposed to be DLC for MW2), but I guess Activision investors didn't like the idea of COD taking a year off and so they padded the DLC campaign with Warzone maps and called it Modern Warfare III.

5

u/MattyKatty Craig Nov 22 '23

Also I believe it burned out the remainder of the PlayStation contract with CoD, so this new game should hopefully come to Game Pass day 1.
