So,lets say you are for 2 years the big shot at Treyarch who has every bit of controll over the next COD.

What would you do to to put out the hate this franchise has gained.

What would you change to make COD deserve the status as best FPS ever,in terms of story,gameplay,multiplayer design

On the same engine,2 years i believe is no time to code another one.

But judging by your response, "as a game its no fun,its slow,clunky", you are the exact derp the COD series are aiming for now. I bet you think BO and MW2 are the bestest gamez evah.

WW2 but this time you're playing as the Germans, Vietnam and you're playing Vietcong, Dark Ages and it's called Medieval Warfare or MW setting but you're playing as the evil guys.

Or even way better, PC-Gaming Warfare, where you're fighting on the side of the PC-Gamers against bad Games and "And the mighty awesome super funtime DERP alliance of sheep, lemmings and powercouch hipsters". Cool Face

Well maybe not the BEST games ever,but the most fun and addictive shooters ever.

Im just saying what people who hate it so much do (from a development pov) to make right with the people who think the game is "to derp","to unbalanced".

Personally i would reduce the number of perks,leave like it was in cod 4.

Get more customization items,more things to put on your gun...more than one,two attachements.

Upgrades for the insides of the gun,to affect various traits.

Make killstreaks based on points ,like assists and team actions.

Separate kills from points,you get points only by doing assits,captures and team stuff.

Killstreaks you could get only with points.

More weapons etc,a map editor,that would make a difference.

But not a complex thing,something easy to understand and create nice ,fun maps ala gungame maps in CSS

I thought about some changes Treyarch could do but I removed them all, so this is my answer:
Nothing. Treyarch are not known for innovation and high quality products but for just catering the mainstream lol wut They don't want to create good games, but games that are sellable enough to little kids.

I love FPS but Treyarch does simply not understand what it takes to make a good shooter. Infinity Ward was much better, in all aspects, even if their games got derp and derper. At least they wanted to change directions, but activision said "NO WAI WE WANT OUR MONIEZ!" and fucked them in the butt.

Ah ok. So you are just concentrating on the MP part. Well... I don't like the CoD multiplayer. I prefer Battlefield, Enemy Territory, Quake 3, CS, Unreal Tournament ... Well basically ALL pre-console multiplayer experiences over the recently released CoD games and it's bad clones.

I think your toughts are noble...but if you were a bussines owner and your subordinates were wanting to do whatever the hell they wanted you would do what Activision did.

They were owned by a larger company who had the right to dictate what gets made next.The quality part was their responsability,like treyarchs,they couldnt manage and they got fired...fair

Look,you gotta admit that the people who scream "DERP" are a minority,whats worse is the other guys who jump on the band wagon without thinking.

The games are some of the best and refined FPS's in history,they have lots of content,they are smooth,at 60 frames with great detail(not the best but...) .And it is unique to this franchise,all who tried to emulate it failed.

I never understod what was so derp about them,the game has all the traits of a "great game",except for some design flaws in the multi.

The last game in this franchise I played, MW1 or MW2, added zilch to the FPS genre. Respawn galore, AI average at best, standard shooting mechanics, a shitload of "cinematic" events etc etc. Sure teh games are fun and have high production values due to a huge budget, but they add zilch to the genre. I can't name a single innovation I saw in Modern Warfare.

CoD 4:
+ Good graphics for it's time
+ Some fresh ideas (firefights felt intense... at least for the first missions)
+ Some missions had some replayability, overall game was entertaining
- Didn't like the MP

CoD 5:
- Shitty graphics
- No new ideas
- No replayability
- Didn't even dare to touch the MP

CoD 6:
- Same graphics as 4, just more shit going on (Yeah, let's shove as much shit as possible into the screen! BIGGER = BETTER, right?!!!)
- No new ideas at all
- No replayability
- MP was the same as 4 just with the same MORE = BETTER mentality

CoD 7:
+ Didn't even touch that turd. What I have seen was enough to keep me away from that games.


What all of them share:
- "Cinematic" ingame cutscenes that got cheesier and cheesier with every new release, just like the dialogue and script
- shitty shooting mechanics
- bad AI
- fake EVERYTHING

CoD4 was really entertaining but that time is over. I did not reinstall it after the first playthrough...

Come on now,theres alot of inovation in MW 1 don't lie.

i think your asking something from this franchise that isnt posible.The fps genre has reach its peak in terms of inovation some time ago,but not production value (story,artistic stuff,gfx).

But you wont see inovators like Doom,Quake,CS again.

1. You know CoD 4 and 5 uses the same engine, thus same graphics -.-'
2. Your saying CoD 5 had no new idea's? 2 words: Zombie mode
3. Your saying CoD 5 had no replayability, it had EXACTLY the same way with demo recording as its older brothers.
4. CoD 6 had updated engine, thus better graphics. (dont bullshit that its virtually the same. cuz that it has been since CoD2).
5. Your saying CoD 6 had no new idea's? IW.net (might be a shit idea but for them it worked and payed off, on consoles)


The fact that your started in CoD 4 and not 1 means you dont even know how CoD 4 was the start of it all going downhill.
CoD 1 and 2 are still the better ones, with CoD 1 leading.

Aswell you are saying that they are shitty shooting mechanics, you know that the smooth aim down sight started in CoD 1, and alot of games adopted it. Wink

Ok Shakabutt, now to something totally different. I know, you'll be totally surprised, but mainly CoD 6+7's success (esp financial success) is due to the $200.000.000+ marketing campaigns. (The budget of the games themselves is just a 4th/5th!)

But its all your opinion man.

Sometimes more of the same is better,why not ?

MW 1 rejuvenated the genre,brought alot of fun stuff,a great formula.You dont see alot of haters for MW 1.

But why the hate for more of the same ?Your asking for inovation in the genre every year like its so easy.

Tell how many fans are heartbroken that Valve doesnt say shit about EP 3 for 4 years now ,when all they want is more of the same.

Yet call of duty delivers to its fan,every year,with a fresh story and the same fun gameplay.

Where is the problem ?

Since the advent of cinematic gameplay ?

You know,when devs wanted to present the story more in a cinematic fashion since they had the means.

In 1993 they had to keep you interested with secret rooms and stuff.

Why is this a bad thing....its not like Half Life lets you go anywhere ....its just that it has better pacing than cod who focuses more on non stop action,pacing is another thing i think treyarch needs.

A steak tastes good-

But serving a hot dog and calling it steak is a totally different thing. And then they just add some spices to the hot dog and sell it every year with a higher price tag.

They shove so much crap into the series... it isn't nice any more... And maybe I was just lucky to NOT listen to any of the dialogue in MW1, because it didn't bug me. But each and every one after that had such horrible script and dialogue..

It feels more like a parody but then you realize, fuck, they are serious with all the shit they talk. And then you see 12 year old kids going all "Whoaaaa!"..

The more I think about this matter, the sadder I become when I see new Battlefield 3 footage. EA is not in a very healthy position. And they are ready to invest millions in the marketing of battlefield 3, just so that it can beat the COD series. Basically EA's future is bound to the success of the BF3. What do you think the guys at the top of EA will do regarding BF3? They will look at what they think made cod a best seller and will try to force this stuff into BF3.

In the trailers we already saw quite some predefined ingame "cinematics" and CoD'esque shootouts ... Sad
