Going off of what people on YouTube say, people I used to play COD with, ain't nobody has a good thing to say about Infinite Warfare.
I saw an article on-line sometime after the new year and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare set a record for most "returns" ever of a game. Could have been just for a Call of Duty game, or for all games the world over. Don't remember the exact detail on that, I couldn't get past laughing at how lame the new COD was. Put it this way, more people were turning the game back in for credit, than people actually buying the game new.
If those kinds of statistics didn't hit home with Activision, I don't know what would. They genuinely made an epic turd of a game with "IW".
Be honest with you, I'm so happy for a boots on ground game. I'm actually looking forward to dealing with campers and noob-tubers again. I'll take anything over that bouncing off ceilings and wall running BS that the last three games have been.
You'd think they would have learned their lesson with Black Ops 2. While being a futuristic game, it was a believable futuristic game. It still embodied the run and gun, boots on the ground mindset of all COD's. It still retained the core traits of a COD game, while pushing the envelope of a new direction. It was in my opinion, COD's last good game. The only thing that saved BLOPS 3 was the Zombies, otherwise it would rank right up there with Ghosts(especially Ghosts) and Advanced Warfare in the abortion category.
I'm being a bit hard on Advanced Warfare. I really did like and play that game. But it was the cool suits and tons of extra gun variants that kept the game good. The DLC maps weren't bad either.
I rank a Call of Duty game by how memorable the game and DLC maps are for me. I can just about tell you every map for Black Ops, Modern Warfare 3 and Black Ops 2 that came out.
I kid you not, I can only remember about three or four, maybe five maps from Ghosts. Stonehaven(gigantic map with ridiculous spawns that placed you 30 seconds out from the fighting), Hot Dog map(Strikezone I think it was called, we referred to it as Hot Dog map), Octane(only thing I remember about that is the stupid, dumbass gas station would blow up) and Prison Break(because of the huge truck log that bridged the map together in the middle). That's it, I can't remember any of the other maps. I remember playing them, but can't tell you the names. Oh, Stormfront was another one, only reason I remember that was because it was camp central. Everyone used a sniper load out and camped their asses off. Even I did, and I don't camp. It was an excruciating 8 to 10 minutes of gameplay for me.
I don't remember much of the Advanced Warfare maps, mainly the names of the maps. I remember playing the maps and enjoyed them. None though were all that memorable.
Black Ops 3 was the same. What ticks me off with Treyarch, is they like to give you an old map with a new design as part of their DLC. So basically, instead of getting 5 new maps, you get four o.k. maps and one from a previous Black Ops game(or World at War), just with a different skin on it. Talk about being cheapskates. Now, I'll admit I love Nuketown, but that's the only re-hashed map I ever want back. I don't care if I get Summit, or Firing Range, again and again and again. I think it's a real dick move by Treyarch to re-release maps from previous games. What I can give them credit for is re-releasing at least old cool maps. I don't think I could handle a re-release of Jungle or Berlin Wall, or shitty Express or Yemen.
Now, if Activision wanted to re-release Modern Warfare 3 in all it's glory, I'd be the first person in line for it. I'd gladly pay $65 for a game I already paid $65 for, just to have it again on the new PS4 platform. I'd do the same for Black Ops(1).
I have a vision for Treyarch for their next COD game. They need to stop and ditch all the campaign and multiplayer stuff and just release a full blown all or nothing Zombies game. Call of Duty: Relentless Zombies, is what I would call it. The game would have all of the original previous games(Black Ops 1, 2 & 3) Zombie maps but then the DLC maps would be all new zombie maps. I can just imagine about 30 or so Zombie maps to choose from. The only multiplayer that would in the game, is expand from 4 max players to 8 for normal zombies. And for actual multiplayer(6 vs. 6 players), I'd throw in zombie waves as well. So no more campers, cause if you camp Zombies come and get you. And they wouldn't be low level Zombie waves(levels 1 through 20, zombies are slow and in low numbers). No, the zombies I would inject into the game would me a minimum of level 35 and above. Fast movers and hard as hell to kill zombies.
In all reality that kind of game would piss a lot of people off. To deal with another team of 6 players and then zombies in relentless waves would wreck people's nerves. Myself, I would eat that kind of game up. It wouldn't be for everyone though.
Maybe if you, Townie, and I get it one day we could go online and have some fun
