Hey gais, you want more maps to play on? Ok we’ll give you 5! Well 3 are gonna be new and probably just as fucked as some of the last but hey, we got 2 old ones you might have liked which we can now ruin with our broken gameplay. We’re also gonna promise you that you’re gonna get new maps in some playlists, but not mention anything about fixing matchmaking or any of the modded tags and hacking on the 360. Lets also dangle some exclusivity to the people on the 360 we’re screwing by making them get it a month earlier than the PS3, making people on both sides rage at us! We’re geniuses!
Ok, how about we get serious for a second here. We all know some people will love this pack, and in all honesty if the game wasn’t broken even my poor butt could look past the fact that their previous packs of 4 maps were only 800 and that one more map, much less one that’s a re-textured old one is somehow worth 400 more points. To some of us though, it’s another straw on already weakened backs, and a few of us are now breaking under it. Now before anyone gets mad or agrees I’ll explain what I feel about this whole thing.
As I already said, if this were a game that weren’t hindered by some serious issues I’d pay for this pack, maybe even gladly. If I wasn’t constantly getting spammed by people trying to sell me a 10th prestige then maybe I’d scrounge for it.
If I wasn’t losing party members in the terribad matchmaking then possibly I’d fap over it and have a mess to clean up.
If the game were solid and not full of stupid things and overpowered retardedness then maybe I’d get on my knees in front of Activision and take a full load.
Unfortunately so much of this game is still so broken that it’s not even fun to play anymore, the newness has worn off and we see it’s not so structurally sound. It’s almost hard to point out anything good with the game in all honesty. From gameplay mechanics to design choices to failed ‘innovations’ there is a lot wrong and no amount of patches can fix the damage that has been done.
Time for me to point fingers and yell “FOR SHAME! FOR SHAME!” starting with kill/death streaks. Whoa whoa whoa, put down the pitchforks and torches, let me talk. In CoD4 everyone had the same killstreaks, sure it would get boring after a little bit when it was all you could do but it had a nice balance to it that these multiple killstreaks just tend to lack. Now don’t get me wrong, variety is the spice of life, but too much variety can cause problems. Sometimes it’s never having a uav up for an entire round, or an encouragement to campers just so they can let their streaks do the work for them. Some of them are disproportionate to the amount of kills it takes to get them, and others are just stupidly overpowered. Deathstreaks are not without some WTFness as well, as long as you’ve seen someone with painkiller take an AT4 to the face and live that is.
The perks, are hit and miss. Sometimes you see someone with stopping power and a Famas kill with on burst on a moving target, yet when you do it to a guy standing still it takes 2 bursts. A danger close RPG can get 3 kills yet a danger close tube next to a guy just wounds him. How does lightweight make you faster than a claymore? Why does commando pro basically give you the Blades of Chaos? Using Scrambler is a death sentence because it just gives away your position and barely ever helps. Oh and One Man Army has to be the most bs thing in the world, when in the correct evil hands.
The matchmaking! Oh the matchmaking! How could they screw up what they and many other games have had working for quite some time now? I don’t know how they did it but boy howdy, mission accomplished! Way to go Activision, you’re raising the bar for everyone once again! It’s pathetic how they could screw up something that’s been working online for years now. And lets not get started on how they have screwed the PC people by torturing them with this nonsense to.
But speaking of the PC people, we should thank them for taking the time to discover all these glitches that weren’t ever worked out and figuring out how to get them over to the consoles. We could have made the mistake of not being able to call Activision and Infinity Ward on these things if it weren’t for you guys. I want to take this time to put a second edge on this sword and tell you that you’re pricks for making us deal with some of this stuff to.
Now for the elephant in the room, the DLC! There is no way, in outright hell that I am paying that much for a broken games DLC. Personally no amount of patching can make this game not just seem ruined to me. I’m sure millions of people will buy it, and I’m sure they will make tons of cash that they don’t deserve. Then they will still gouge people for their money with future packs and it will be horse armor all over again.
With the way they are treating all of us they should be glad anyone plays their games at all, the only reason it’s popular is because it’s Call of Duty. It’s really a shame that they are destroying their own franchise, but hey, if halo can do it why can’t they right? They might as well because it seems like the popular thing to do now a days. It’s sad and I refuse to be a part of it anymore, gamestop here I come.
Also, shameless clan website plug since it's all new and whatnot. www.WeAreOG.com we just bs a lot and play games, feel free to stop by and to talk to us.
On topic tho, I am seriously impressed that Activision/IW have not gotten their act together and fixed these issues already. I'm curious as to how long its going to take for them to even fix one thing? Or are they so far down the hole with it that they are going to even bother fixing it, and just let it die when the next CoD comes out? In any case.. good riddance to the company imo :|, it lost its way after CoD2. No thanks to Activision of course.
This is what happens when your CEO (Kotick) thinks of the industry as joke and trys to milk it for everything its worth. You get a shit product, at the cost of a golden egg.
I wouldn't hold your breath for them ever to be fixed. That's coming with MODERN WARFARE 3 ONLY $90 AT YOUR LOCAL RETAILER THIS FALL. IT'S AN EVEN BUGGIER MESS THAN THE LAST BUT YOU'LL ALL BUY IT BECAUSE YOU'RE NICOMPOOPS.
Etc etc.
I think the last time i played CoDMW2 was, 2-3 weeks before BFBC2 came out.
(( BTW I played in matches over & over back then wo/any UAV's. ))
Yeah i think it's highway robbery for Activision to force the hand of IW.
(( I'm sure pricing the map packs is in there somewhere. ))
Including getting out the bosses there at IW. Just to plant some people in there that will not secede from Activision. When the contract is up for question sometime later this year.
Not to mention Activision just posted there first dividend EVER in their stocks not to long ago. via CNBC
(( Hmmm i wonder if a billion dollar profit had anything to do with that? ))
EA righted there ship & Activision just set sail in conquest of treasures & bad behavior. *Bon voyage*
