CoD games have always been absolute bottom of the barrel politically and historically, but this one is shaping up to be outright fucking cancerous
They blamed the fucking Highway of Death on the ebil ruskies. Propaganda overdrive.
They became extremely insufferable after straying away from their futuristic nonsense and rebooting their contemporary imperialist “realism”. Now instead of having goofy Russian villains and B tier action heroes, you have a bunch of “””operators””” dealing with “””real””” issues
The first two were good!
There was a real brawl in the early 2000's over who wore the crown of WWII shooter, CoD, Medal Of Honor (remember those games?) or Day Of Defeat. Personally I like MOH
Battlefield 1942
oh shit how did I forget bf1942?
Because you are a filthy casual
Oh, of course. I was in the middle of those fights as someone who loved all three.
I was originally a bigger MoH fan but DoD eventually became such a daily game for me, and so much fun in the golden pre-1.6 days when people actually played objectives well, that I have to give it to DoD. I was even recently talking with my friend about installing it again to see if anyone still plays or if it's just bots. MoH never really had a chance once online gaming began in earnest, both DoD and CoD quickly had it beat, but its local multiplayer was so much fucking fun. I've said it before, though, that CoD always impressed me for letting you play Soviets. It was my very first perspective on the Soviets as a kid and, maybe I misunderstood but, it left a very good impression.
I knew a guy who cheesed hard in MOH by binding the fire key to the mouse wheel. He'd run around with the garand and if he saw an enemy player he'd spin the wheel and mag dump in like 1 second. Kid was a genius.
Allied Assault had a pretty big community back in the day. At its peak it was possibly the second biggest competitive FPS after CS, at least in Europe.
That's true! I forgot about Allied Assault being online!
I played MoH Frontline on PS2 so I missed it. But I played the others on PC and seems like they outpaced MoH pretty quick.
I mean at least in the original Modern Warfare 2 you get to kill the warmongering US general. No chance of something like that in the current CoD games.
