Stop eye-balling me soldier and listen up. If you wanna succeed in this game there are a few things you need to do. Many have come before you and failed for not listening to the words I have to say today. Eyes front!!!
Whatever Activision has planned for the next Call of Duty game it had better not be centered around the XBOX360. Playstation gamers have become second class citizens in the world’s biggest shooter franchise and they are pissed off. Don’t launch map packs a month early and don’t patch the XBOX360 ahead of the PS3. Enough damage has been done with the last two games for millions of PS3 gamers to ignore the next game altogether.
We are not your beta testers!!! Make it work before it goes live. £40 is a lot of money and in 2011 there are plenty of FPS games around for us to spend that money on. Black Ops and Homefront were both released with poor online support – Homefront has suffered and many traded in within the first week or two. Black Ops took months to get right and with the bad press the multiplayer got (especially for PS3 users) its amazing the game sold so well. Come on guys it’s not like you haven’t made multiplayer games before!
Give us an intelligent lengthy campaign. Too many games are being churned out with a short mediocre single player element. We go through the motions, cover to cover shooting the bad guys. 6 hours later we are done and its time for the multiplayer. I want something with a soul! Something with some balls and something that is not afraid to challenge the 6-8 hours of cover to cover shooting and more shooting.
I want a real reason to play the single player more than once. We are not interested in looking for Intel. Only a handful of people actually bother, the rest wait from someone to do it first then they play the campaign through on easy just to get the trophy/achievement for finding the briefcases and newspaper cuttings.
Difficulty settings are great but we don’t need 4 of them 2 or 3 max. Why not write a story with alternative endings or paths to the ending? Perhaps you can follow two teams of bad guys and select to follow one to the jungle on the first play through and the other to the Arctic on the second. It doesn’t need to be an RPG but just give us some choices and consequences. BioWare demonstrate just how much you can cram onto a BluRay – why can’t a FPS be bigger?
